This wasn't mentioned in our class but makes perfect sense to me.



We covered this well, although the CERT first aid module did a better job of teaching us to assess the patient.



We weren't taught this but it now seems obvious.



This was covered.



We were taught to use three sides of tape or a pre-made occlusive dressing, but this makes perfect sense to me.

Nah, I just know the drill.

All,

Being a civilian contractor in Afghanistan I am not allowed to carry a weapon, so having a well stocked kit and good training (Combat Life Saver, CPR for the Professional, and EMT-B course taken in country) gives me something to bring to the party. Still tinkering with the contents trying to fit in a CPR pocket mask. This bag, as its name implies, is for the first 5 or 10 minutes of an emergency until the real medics or EMS arrives. Everybody have a great Christmas!

Cheers,
W-W
