Why would a corpsman be wearing whites when he's on the job?

Yea sure, mess with the medic and see what happens when you get hurt.

He wouldn't.

I'm sure that having to read between the lines of the american media for so many years made at least a small contribution to your powers of observation.

Well, supposedly the image is from an aircraft carrier, and I thought they already had color coded shirts for the deck crew. Maybe that's what a medic would wear.

This is a no ****ter, our second corpsman we had while I was onboard told us this one. On one of his previous boats this one guy would always give a hard time to him where ever they were. So one day this guy goes in for a prostate exam, who's he get but that very corpsman. Long story short, he had his prostate milked instead of examined.

According to my Blujackets Manual corpsman don't have a colored shirt for the flight deck. So I'm gonna file this one under propaganda/recruitment.
