Over the past four days, we have learned about combat lifesaving. In short, it's a course designed to train personnel in immediate casualty assistance so as to minimize loss of limbs and life on the battlefield. Today, we completed the obstacle course where we encounter challenges and casualties in less than a half-hour and the instructors gave our team an A-. To put it in perspective, the other part of the class (all Air Force) were still facing the first obstacle when we were leaving with our certificates! In all fairness my team had some very good Air Force and Army servicemembers that were invaluable in ensuring our success.
Best,

Very cool, Ben, training like this should be required in the States. Especially in light of what just happened Monday in Boston. Definitely more heroic to save a life than to take one.
