Life of a Soldier Medic

[Reya]

Hey guys! I wanted to share with you all a little of my life while in training. Below are two videos that show a little of what I do pretty much every day from 0400 to 2130 every day. Enjoy!

This Video is of my company, Bravo 232. This is of the class who graduated right before we got picked up on the 12th.

I got alot of respect for the Combat medics. I seen a medic pull 2 guys out of a burning Hummer and proceed to put them out with his bare hands THEN start to treat them with 3rd degree burns on his hands and arms. He didnt even miss a beat, he went out on patrols the very next day, bandages and all.

You got a legacy to maintain in that job^^

What is an NPA I saw it, but I don't get what it is.

Interesting, and slightly kinky.

When I went through Combat Lifesaver Training, they told us that the Nasopharyngeal Airway only works so well cuz people are prone to nose picking, and that the resulting stretch of the nostrils allows a perfect fit for the above mentioned device. Hahaha, I couldn't stop laughing when they said that, but I believe it!
