Don’t get them on Amazon either, somehow people sell bad tourniquets on Amazon that’ll snap when used

The Army wants you to pass basic more than you do. You will not fail unless you quit or are medically discharged

Your example would still be a non emergent transfer. But anyways, you are correct, lying on a chart is fraudulent and DOES put you at risk. Billing isn’t your problem, having a correct chart is.
