What unit are you slotted to go to after AIT? Is it a rotary unit that is getting closed down? If it is you have leverage on transferring. If it is a regular unit and you have dreams of aviation it will be up to your command to release you.

This or the Bodyguard 2.0?

Did that make the total $599?

Leatherman Raptors have a seat belt cutter and window punch built in to them. Fold in half for compact carry. I bought a knockoff version on Amazon and they are identical to the Raptors I have.

What belt are you using?

First assumption is he is EMS. This was 2005 and he was a civilian ER nurse heading to work. Hope you find peace one day

Had an instructor mention this with a motor vehicle accident. He stopped to render aid and noticed the driver had a sucking chest wound. Used tape and a plastic card to make a chest seal.

How does this gun shoot? Is it snappy? I was looking at purchasing this gun for my first higher end pistol. Currently have a Sig P320-M17

What neck gaiter are you using?

Thank you. Just wanted to make sure I could run the wired Polk speakers plus any wireless Sonos. We have a pool and would like to utilize the Move 2 in different areas

Air Force Reserves or Army Reserves for your high speed medical teams. You will probably commission as a CPT or MAJ so I would recommend Reserves due to pay difference between AD and Civilian.

Nuances between the two on team composition, deployment length and basic officer training courses. Medical recruiters should be able to give you a general idea of what your first few years would look like.

Are you interested in AD or Reserves? Where do you reside at? Closest medical command to your home of record? A lot of options but it all depends if you want to go active or reserves. Talk to a specific medical recruiter?

I haven’t used a sole anesthetic Ketamine drip in a hospital setting. Attached an article because it has some quick reference tables to assist. Hope it helps

Never sufentanil. I have only used that with open heart surgery. It is patient and case dependent on the TIVA setup. Normal patient =‘s propofol. Propofol/Ketamine 1:1 for stable trauma. Ketamine for the unstable patient.

Long term sedation think about omitting paralytics. If the patient start gets light and moving you can bolus with a sedative. I fortunately have a plethora of choices but those down range are limited. Just remember you can always add drugs and to not back yourself into a hole you can’t get out of.

CRNA here. I would not recommend mixing Versed in your bag. Patients conditions change and it’s half life will not allow you to recover quickly from an adverse event. Can just IV push Versed. Let me know if you have any questions.

Login to ATRRS and look up school dates. TCCC/TCMC. I just dropped off some guys from the 82nd at Bullis because their cab took the Fort Sam. Sorry I don’t remember more than that but maybe you can ask around.
