(no subject)
This morning, I woke up feeling like I had consumed some sort of miracle drug the night before.
Then I went to St John training and we did drill for two hours straight (not nearly as omfg as when we did six hours + straight two days in a row) and since I'm apparently made of super duper awesome, I ended up training like HALF the cadets.
It started off alright but then I went onto checking this other guy and OMFG HE WAS SO (*&^%$##$%^&)(*&^ ARGH. He started THINKING too much and so fucked up his WALKING and you know when you fuck up your NORMAL walking, you need to start RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. So we started back on square zero (see, not even square one!) and I went through walking with him. So we walked around - left right, left right, left right leeeeeeft! - then when we got that sorted, getting him to do it in time with his team was the next step. D=
I handed him over after I was through with getting them to march in time and went over to the more advanced group and good lord... they were SO much better! They were doing turning on the march and taking turns calling commands WHILE marching! <333 I lead them at first and they were really good considering the squad was much bigger! So great work today guys! =D It was all good but I ended up shouting myself hoarse since I was already sick, it was pretty cold and I was also marching along as well as calling commands AND cadences. Really, some people can only do it when I'm screaming left right, left right, left right leeeeeeeeft in their ears. =_=||
When my voice just about gave out, one of my ex-team member number four started calling commands out for me so much <33333 for him! =) And when I recovered with my blunder, I called once more and then shouted for practising team leaders to take turns calling. OMFG IT WAS SO COOL! They were GREAT considering half of them had never done drill before and most who have haven't actually called commands and cadences WHILE doing drill! IT was AWESOME! Made my day~!
But after two hours, we went back and got lunch. Had Hells Pizza and free coke. I was probably feeling even sicker then but I enjoyed myself.
After lunch we split into two groups and had a super duper quick first aid training. We did primary survey and omfg the cadets were all: EW NOOOO!!!!! And I got kinda pissed and yelled at them for a bit and was all: YOU KNOW THE FIRST TIME I HAD SOMEONE DO PRIMARY SURVEY ON ME, IT FELT LIKE HE WAS FEELING ME UP. HE PUT HIS HANDS HIGHER UP THAN THAT, MISSY! (Because we were checking for blood and they were supposed to be firm and not girly and squealy and it was pissing me off because they wouldn't even touch the person and you're supposed to touch and feel them FIRMLY and it's very much like a very thorough feel up of a person).
So they were all EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwww omfg! *shivers* and I was all: *rolls eyes*.
We did bandaging and I realised that I'm great at training/teaching others but doing it myself? Pfft, fucking hopeless. XD Got bandaging right (just about anyway) then got slinging and then we did CPR. And we had a bit more of the ewwww noooo!!! Then they got all worried about breaking ribs and shit and I broke the news to them (not very gently). "Yeah, you'll be breaking bones. If you don't break them, then you're doing it wrong."
Then the subject about what if the patient had gigantic boobies so were would you put your hands?!!! And I was all: "Remember primary survey how it's like you're feeling them up? Yeah, this is the same thing... >_>" THen we got to the conclusion that St John is really quite pervy. Umwhutokay. I assured them it wouldn't happen because CPR will be assessed using dummies and not real bodies.
After that we had a play around with pulses. MAN I REALLY WANT TO PLAY AROUND WITH OUR DEFIBRILATOR!!! IT'S SO COOL!!!!!! >_<
I'm kinda worried a tad since it's been AGES since I actually was a team member instead of a team leader (they just stand around and shout orders at people and don't actually have to DO the hands on first aid) and my skills are shitty. =O Absolutely horrid. Even my drill calling has gone down the drain. I called the wrong turns on the wrong foot and then turned the wrong way. >_> liekwtflulz.
