I may only be an EMT-B technically but I literally worked with a PA everyday and we had a class everyday

He left us like 2 months ago and we’re waiting on a new PA

I am about to have my Bachelors in nursing.

Hell yea man! That’s pretty rad. I sent a link to an intense 19-day course to get your EMT-B certification

Emt-b is so East

Easy

Someday I’ll scan my Whiskey handbook that tells everything you really need to know on trauma

Whiskey handbook?

So my MOS is 68W aka 68 whiskey

Ah

The Whiskey handbook is pretty much trauma medicine we learned in whiskey phase of our training

I like whiskey whiskey

So do I

I like bourbon

@MulberryMojo its cool its not really combat related but could be good for refuges and wounded

Yea I’ll keep it anyways! I plan on printing both the material you sent and the ranger handbook that was sent. Can’t ignore some good info!

Bloody

What can I add to this to immediately improve it, I've got a TQ with a metal windlass, super glue, tampons (really nice if you've got a bloody nose, just cut a piece off and stick it in your nose) an ace bandage, a boo boo kit, and a trauma pack

This is the trauma pack, keep in mind I'm not "formally trained" so some things aren't available to me, but I have been shown how and when to use all of this by a couple EMTs

I’ve got a needle and thread in my kit in’s case I need to give stitches

Small sewing kit I picked up after ripping my pants at work one day

Ass to knee

I may pick one of those up

Also it's all packed into this bag that has 4 LV 3A panels in it

Comes appart in the center to make a basic vest

If I'm taking a bullet I'm not really worried about supplies as much as getting the fuck out, I live in a stupid state that makes it damn near impossible to get a pistol permit, let alone no restrictions on your carry so there's no fighting back, it's more of a put on the vest and run, the vest is in case I do catch a bullet while running, the med shit is for if I walk up on something or some other shit happens during the day to me

That's true, I was looking into getting at least a ceramic plate for the front

Im trying to keep the weight of the bag down, ceramic is less than steel, and I'm not looking to catch bullet fragments

Does the spall coating actually work, I saw some reviews that the coating reduced it a bit but over all still let a lot of the fragments go

Alright, I may look into it, the extra weight may be worth it to keep the bulk down, the bag does get pretty bulky when I load it up with my daily needs

Yeah, I would keep a 3A on whichever side I don't have the steel plate, it serve as some protection at the very least if I absolutely need it

In the areas I frequent I worry more about handguns than anything, there's a lot of pistol related violent crime

But it would be nice to have the extra protection

And that's straight from AR500

Thanks, I'm going to look into it, probably will pick one up, especially because steel doesn't need to be replaced every 5 years unlike soft armor

I'm kinda hesitant to buy body armor second hand

Lightly used. Selling cuz the original owner passed away <:Okie_Dokie:661060257363001344>
