The men of India Company – reinforced by Marines and sailors from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and USS Makin Island – gathered to honor their corpsman, Doc Estrada, a Fleet Marine Force sailor who died during live-fire training in Djibouti... “Doc died in the company of his brothers – brothers who trained and sweat with him, brothers who rushed to his side and would not give up on him after he fell,” said Capt. Matthew McGirr, commanding officer of India Company, Battalion Landing Team 3/1, Estrada’s company. All hands celebrated the life and service of Petty Officer 3rd Class Kyler L. Estrada during a memorial service aboard USS Makin Island in the Arabian Sea, Friday. A display of more than 700 men and women pressed shoulder to shoulder and filled the ship’s aircraft hangar with heavy hearts. Solemn tones complemented a poignant quiet throughout the ship.Source: Patch.com

I am currently in the Navy Dep as a hospital corpsman my dream is to be able to serve with a marine attachment in the field or as search and rescue i know nothing is set in stone but how likely would someone with experience say it is that that will happen?
You won't have much trouble getting attached to the FMF. There are never enough Navy corpsmen who volunteer to serve with the jarheads.

where is the school of the navy corpsman hospital located? or are there multiple?
Right now, Corpsmen receive their "A" school training in Great Lakes, Il. In the near future, all military medical training will be conducted at the Joint Medical Education Training Campus at Fort Sam Houston, TX. Google it for more info.

I am joining the military in 6 months but i am stuck between the navy and the army. i really want to be a battlefield medic and i want to go in to the branch that will allow me to get in easier? Like example is what asvab standerds are easy to meet? And
I couldn't say it better than Desfend.
Both jobs are very similar. I have a slight preference to HM because I was one...but they both are good.
If you favor the Navy a bit more then join the Navy. Don't rush your self just
