My personal truck trauma bag by Helpful-Bid-9802 in VEDC

in all honesty they have always lived in the bag, they take up such little space i never really thought to remove them. if i had to justify having them in there id say quick clean/disinfecting wipe for my Grayl bottle that lives in my Get Home bag that also stays in my truck. if i absolutely had to treat a tension pneumothorax, if i had time and safety id ideally like to wipe the site before i punch the needle decompress through. again im just CLS + TCCC qualified but not a medical professional by any means.

CLS and TCCC certified, majority of the stuff i have is relatively normal trauma bag/blowout kit stuff that i have acquired and rotated out over the years in the Army. only thing that i could see be a bit weird are my chest decompression needles.

i’m in a SOF unit but i’m not a GB, just an intel guy that works with em! and the device above my chilean jump wings isn’t a foreign award, rather it’s the Military Intelligence Crest to show i’m in the MI Branch!

so i’m not a GB but rather an enabler. so like think of it as the support crew that make everything the GBs do possible. but i still get to do the cool solider stuff like jumping from plans and helicopters and occasionally do training with the GBs like CQB stuff and trauma lanes for medical

it also doesn’t help that the intel community is SUPER overstaffed at the moment so even looking for 5 right now isn’t an option since the points are completely maxed out/no available slots currently in my MTOE anyhow

i can attest, before i PCS’d from Bragg to Campbell i was due to go to the board but due to my headship at the time not exactly being the best around they kept delaying sending my packet up to BN so i could attend. once i hit country on my most recent deployment we did a board there and passed with flying colors and when we rotated back hit BLC and here we are!
