I was home on leave for three weeks from Afghanistan where I'm a civilian contractor. I assembled a personal medical kit based on the guidelines of the Wilderness EMS Institute http://www.wemsi.org/ . This kit will supplement an Army IFAK that I bought on eBay to carry here. Since I’m working on getting recertified as an EMT-B I also took the opportunity, while on leave, to complete CPR/AED for the Professional from the American Red Cross.
