Yeah, I don't know how long schools can remain closed. I don't know about the summer months. They say heat and sunlight kills the virus, but I would give it another 6 months. Imagine a virus breakout in a place like Ft. Benning, GA, where the Army has thousands of soldiers going through training. Infantry Basic and AIT, Airborne, Ranger, OCS, IOBC and God know what else.
I’m an instructor now and we have no class and are quarantined, my work schedule is sending a text in the morning.
You medics seemed like a cool group. I was a cop, but did my EMT Training, then Advanced cardiac life support back at Lackland, then a Trauma Medicine course with the army in San Antonio.Please join me on a stroll down the flightline of nostalgia...
I was a newly assigned, wet behind the ears, damp-butt greenie at my first base. There were two other FNG's with me and we were on the catwalk of the dorm, hanging out and getting used to our new surroundings.
One of the NCO's (I'll call him Big Dog) came up to us and said "Yo, you all are the new guys, right?" I'm "Big Dog" and if you have any questions, let me know." One of the guys asked "What's the Enlisted club like?"
Big Dog said "Maaaannn those civilian babes come up in there and they get BUCK-WILD! It can get pretty hairy in there so here's the rule for us Medics so pay attention.
If there's a fellow medic in there, they're fighting and we get word that any ONE of you weren't diving in there like *ucking Superman to help out? When you get back here, it's your @$$."
We all said "We got it Big Dog!"
He said, "You won't have a problem from me then and I got your back."
Thank goodness, I never had to Superman whilst I was there!
Pride was fun to watch but goddamn, soccer kicks shouldn’t have been legal. LolI got another one from when I was the NCOIC of a different base...
I always told my Airmen when I arrived that if anything goes down, let me know FIRST. If I know, I can get out in front and mitigate the situation, if not... All I can do is stand by and watch the carnage.
One of my subordinates had gone out on the town and got into a fracas with another enlisted man. He told me about it first thing and it was basically two drunk dudes fighting over something stupid.
I was at the window and I was dispensing meds to a patient who looked like he'd been sparring... HARD. I told him the spiel and what to look out for and how to take it. We got to talking and he said he was playing tackle football.
I had went to the back to get a swig of water and my troop came up to me an said "THAT was the guy!" I said "What happened to his forehead?!?" My troop told me that he pulled a Pride level Shogun and soccer kicked him.
i got one of my gf's to cut my hair. #4 on top and #1 on the sides and blend it in. she did remarkably well
lol, 3 or 4 active, 3 or 4 non-active
Dam. I'm gonna have PTSD now.
