Good news everyone!. Today i took the last test in my Corpsman A school training. Yes that is right i have made it through labs. Our final test was triage: We are told that a building has been bombed and that snipers continue to fire upon the building. I am the lead scout for the rescue team. I low crawl into this space. The room is sectioned off with gym mats standing upright. There are strobe lights going off and its my job to count the dead and wounded. I have a piece of paper and pen with me. The paper is taken by a chief who then tells me to improvise. I am now taking a head count and drawing a map on my lower left forearm as "rounds continue to come downrange". I am now crawling through a pool of pigs blood to get to the patients. After i have my report i remove myself from the hot zone and report to the Scout Leader. After that i take a rescue team into the hot zone. For the next hour i am crawling about on my hands and knees. Extracting victims applying bandages and chasing mental cases. All in all it was a good experience.
So to sum it all up i will be graduating on Monday and i will be home until the 3rd of January. On the 3rd i report to Naval Hospital Portsmouth Virginia for 65 days PSI duty. After that i will be going to Psychtech C school. I will be in psych tech school until about june 20th.
so let me know how you all are doing and i hope to see you all soon!
