Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home. Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?" Margaret looked him over. "Nope." Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots. Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice anything different NOW?" Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan, "Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow." Furious, Bert yelled, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?" "Nope. Not a clue", she replied. "IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!" Without missing a beat Margaret replied, "Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat."

Come on people, don't you get it? He's going out with a "small unit." It's obviously a high-speed low-drag Marine special operations team that is super secret and completely disavowed by the government; that's why a "civillian" is being used for medical support, as "civillian" is clearly spec-ops speak for "heavy duty world class operator." Orrrr...maybe I just have an overactive imagination... If it's official training they need to follow their established policy for this, which will likely entail a higher level of care and resources than you'll have available. If it's not official training or is off the books training/fun, then without knowing specifics about the environment you'll be in it's really hard to give any specifcs.

So you haven't really retired, have you? You've just stopped working EMS in favor of less back breaking work like snow removal.

Since you landed on your derriere ::: they could have suspected a brain injury.

Okay. Thanks for the clarifiction. Kinda sucks the book wouldn't say that considering it was published late 2013
