combat life saver

The combat life saver course is a three day instructional block that certifies soldiers to be first responders to medical emergencies while in theater or elsewhere. SPC. Rick Rzepka posed for me while simulating an injury. Another soldier was treating him in the background.
Tommorrow we will be learning and practicing the fine art of inserting IVs into each other.

Something tells me that pained look on SPC. Rzepka’s face will not be simulated tomorrow. Practicing IVs is gonna hurt!
Wonderful pic, Trevor!

Gunn,
He passed the IV portion with flying colors. So did I. My “battle buddy” said that I was the gentlest needle stabber he has encountered. He did a good job on my arm as well.
