Military First Aid

[drillsgt]

From a drillsgt colleague at Ft. Leonardwood on his two week annual training:

We did practical testing in first aid today. While treating the test dummy's amputated arm, I had a trainee place a tourniquet on the detached limb. Really! How are you able to remember how to breath?!? Trainee's future job....military intelligence analyst.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Neg rep for hazing, poor grammer and sentence structure, disrespect, spoiling the fun of the thread, for your goal being to destroy new troop's being, and general condescension.

Let's not forget interwebz badassery. Someone needs to have his mom bring down some more meat loaf.

First female Marine I ever met. Remember thinking it was pretty cool.

I've met some great female servicemembers since I have been in, and tough too. I remember during my combatives level II class my best fight was with a female drill sergeant, she was ten times better than this ranger captain we had.

My son has complete respect for his NCOs, they set a proper example and he strives to follow.

"No one is more professional than I", remember that?

Literally:

As AOB analyst and MOB analyst in 'Nam for a few years, I worked with other analysts who really did behave slowly in some cases; it takes TIME to think. When we played forms of Battleship along with a side-board of Risk, we were keeping our pilots safer when they'd make runs on Kep, Hoa Lac, Hai Phong, and Kien An, just for starters. My unit gave the flyers the heads-up poop about MiGs and SAMs. In terms you might understand, just consider the "inept application of the tourniquet" as a simile to you practicing dry-fire with snap-caps. In 'Nam, we were winning when I had to leave. EBG
