CLS

Dani completed the Combat Lifesaver (CLS) course at Camp Eggers yesterday. It's usually a 2 day class but due to room availability it was crammed into a day. Apparently Generals get priority for meeting space :-)

The class teaches things like what to do from a medical perspective while under fire, basic first aid, and the proper way to call in a a MEDEVAC. Which if Dani were the one calling in a MEDEVAC there would be much bigger problems than getting the correct protocol - the first challenge would be figuring out the radio frequencies! The class also has a hands on portion where students do IV's on each other. This was definitely Dani's favorite part!


Dani was paired with people she knows from CSTC-A. This is a photo of her teammates. And, as you can see, the lighting in the building was so poor flashlights were needed to help find the veins.


MAJ Hudson gave Dani her IV. He did a great job and it only hurt a little. At least he only pricked her once - it took Dani more attempts than that on him. Good thing MAJ Hudson is strong, and didn't even complain. :-) Dani even gave the instructor an IV - so lots of practice.


Dani and MAJ Hudson - everyone is so serious and quite when this is going on . . .


MAJ Hudson looks so professional and like he knows exactly what he's doing! Just ignore the blood on Dani's arm though :-)

Although we don't have nearly the amount of snow as the East Coast, it was cute to see the mini snowman Force Pro built at the Eggers gate. This was just too cute to pass up a photo.
