I need to share this with someone. I was on facebook yesterday (ya.ya.) and a friend of mine is talking about going to school to be a nurse. In the middle of the thread, Bob arrives and has this to say, "Be realistic one in ten are going to die on you anyways. Oops poo poo does happen....thats the military's viewpoint by the way. Do you realize how many soldiers die in the field because we knew they wouldn't make it back to M.A.S.H. unit, from their injuries....we would give them as much as 3-5 10 gr morphine contact injectors (they pass inside of two minutes) eyes wide open when one is taught field triage you learn fast how to make the call no one wants to." I replied with, "tell me more about how you should be realistic and that one in ten are going to die on you anyways, Bob?" Bob comes back with, "Have you been a combat medic, Steve...that was implied as a joke to the 90% passing score.I was once a search & rescue specialistfor the U.S.C.G., what YOU see on TV is censured for ur viewing....you see what I've seen on rescue details tho. You develop a strong & a callous attitude, you don't get much choice....the job had to be done tho. Someone gotta do it. "

My reply: No I've been airborne infantry for the 82nd airborne. I've worked alongside some drat fine combat medics. Bob: I did not insult the medics that were assigned with your screaming eagles unit....all what I was implying is that the "six minute rule" to surviving an incident can sometimes be an eternity & other times can go like a flash, because of being shot at.....the work conditions are crude at best, compare to being at a unit hospital away from the front. I was an engineer that aided in delivering a newborn at sea with a C.P.O. corpsman.....that was not part of my designated training. Received a basic course (3wk) of combat/emergency first responder training....was also told this being given to you just in case (probably won't have to use it) less than 3 mos. later helped delivered a baby in the rolling north Atlantic on deck. Also my buddy who is a navy corpsman had this to say: "That is loving bullshit. 1. There is no 90% rule on anything in triage. 2. I've never been combat ops but Corpsman all talk when we drink regardless of combat status. 3 Coasties don't run combat ops overseas that's why they git moved out of DOD and into DHS. 4 there is an Sop for a blast radius on an IED and anyone inside of that radius morphine isn't given because even with a good amount of internal bleeding if casevac arrives in time there is still a chance. 5 please have this ego stroking fuckwit explain what the gently caress a pregnant woman was doing on a loving boat in the middle of the Atlantic so that this dumb rear end could deliver a baby on a "rolling deck" why the gently caress were they on the deck? There is at least done medical space on every boat that goes out to sea? Holly poo poo that was stupid..." Then he added, ""Maybe he got some of his info from watching scubs and apocalypse now on acid and it just became a memory."

Aranan posted:At JRTC. Someone is sneaking off to poop in the shower trailers on the FOB. We apparently are close to having 24/7 shower guards. In basic we got back at another bay by making GBS threads in their urinals. I still have to wonder how they scooped out and got rid of our poo poo without a drill sgt noticing.

LeoMarr posted:I don't know, I just miss it heavily I can't explain what it is, but I just miss every aspect of it. Even the dumb amounts of flutterkicks and pushups because a dip can was discovered on the lawn, I miss that poo poo. One weekend my squad (SQUAD!) got two dui's and two guys pissed hot for weed. Our squad leader told us to pack a hundred pound ruck. I stuck weights from the weight room outside of our platoon sgt's office in mine. Had to have another buddy help me stand up. There was some monstrous hill going down from Ardennes to Area J up the street from us. It had wooden steps leading down because it was so steep so of course our squad leader is making us run, as best we could, up and down the dirt of that loving hill over and over. Eventually two people go down and have to get IVs on the spot. It still stands out in my head as one of the greatest days of my life because I didn't go down. And yea you aren't alone for loving that insanity.
