The Front Line Adventure Date Thursday, April 25, 2024 - 05:49 AM PST Topic Experiences Before I begin, please excuse the vagueness I am not allowed to say certain things, if you know what I mean. Well, it was a long a crazy adventure but I made it out ok. I have been in Kuwait teaching Army, Navy and Marine men about Emergency Medicine. I was randomly selected and had only one day to pack and say good-bye. I flew out on a big ole Air Force plane to about 7 different stops and one 12-hour lay over but I got there. I started teaching 3 days after I landed to classes as big as 150. I (with many others) would lecture and conduct labs on quick emergency medicine to the troops out there. As most of you know I am a United States Naval Corpsman, in other terms i'm a Medic. Now attached to a Hospital, I do not do field work at this time, but it was a great opportunity to go and educate others and experience first hand field operations. But probably one of the coolest things, was to be able to be there, in the mist of war. I was there for about 3 weeks and couple days after it all started. My Commanding Officer had me pulled as soon as the bombing started and I got a flight out straight back to my command. But all in all it was pretty crazy. The saddest part for me is that 2 of the Marines that have died where in one of my lectures, one participated in a working Lab with me, so that hit home real hard. But i’m glad to be home, believe that. So that’s about it, not too exciting but it was something that I will not ever forget. Support our troops in the Gulf: Remember, they are doing their job.
