Awesome actions by both Private and the Medic.
Being septic I am puzzled as to why a medic is a "Air Engineer Mechanic" but am impressed by an Army soldier being patched up by a Royal Navy medic and getting surgery from a US surgeon. That is teamwork!! Well done all. BZ to the medic.Busterdog likes this.Nuair a chacann caora, cacann siad uilig

She is an aircraft engineering mechanic by trade, however, in civvy street she is a fully trained medic. She argued the point with the Navy/MOD, successfully, to be deployed as a medic as this made more sense given her experience. Not usual, but, there's one guy who's glad she was allowed to do so.
I worked with her years ago and she's a nice girl.ist dieses ganzes Armpithaar wirklich notwendig

The haircut may be up to Marine standard but he clearly has violated the regulations on visible body piercing. Originally Posted by jumpinjarhead At least he has a proper Marine haircut! Nuair a chacann caora, cacann siad uilig

He is very lucky that the round casued what looks like a low velocity fracture and pealed a big chunk of skull off in one go, possibly because of the extended range or the helmet catching it, if it had been moving faster it would have shattered the bone into lots of tiny razor sharp pieces, pierced his blood/brain barrier and turned him into the worlds biggest 3 year old.

Whilst that is bloody impressive drills by both of them, the storeman in me notices that skulls are obviously starred items.
'Can I have a new skull please Q?'
'Not until you bring the used one back son.'
As far as bravery goes, medics have always had quite a good record of looking after the wounded, two VC and bars!E-Tool counselling;
