Re: SITREP

Sometimes the soldiers that are going onto other schools get put in a hold over status for awhile at their AIT company in Ft. Sam. Could be 3 weeks of a lot of freedom. Just make sure you stay focused on your end goal. I don't know how old you are but anyone who has been to Ft. Sam knows the temptin...

Re: Headaches after PT

I do not recommend taking 1200mg of ibuprofen hour before work out... No one should take that much in one dose on a daily basis over a prolonged period of time.

Re: Wound Care/Basic 1st Aid

The other thing re-learned over the last 8 years is that simple airway positioning can do a lot without tubes and crics. To chime in on what Ranger Doc said.
