18Ds are not PAs while deployed. They do not have the ability to order labs, xrays, and write prescriptions at hospitals in Afghanistan or Iraq. 18D's are the only non-degreed/non-commissioned healthcare provider that has prescriptive authority. as an 18D you will prescribe meds for teammates and i...

still no updates on this bill. i've asked a few times and keep getting told no new word on it yet. tried researching it abit more online and it appears the last action on this bill was jan 2010 and it was just to vote to review it. nothing else. congressman bob filner is appearently the originator o...

oh by the way wanted to update that last post, both guys graduated about 2 weeks ago and are fully qualified 18D's. not bad for a couple of X-Rays.

a plate is waiverable. as i said earlier it may require a note from a doctor stating that it's only for additional stability during the healing process. dont be in a huge rush to get it removed prior to the 6-8 month mark. the bones are still calcifying even at that point. if you can get your doc to...

plates are typically used to reinforce and provide additional strength. after enough time yes it may be possible to remove it however, this typically isn't done unless a screw is backing out or there are other complications due to the fact that you have to go through surgery all over again. you'd be...

it could be severe gerd, sinuses, vertigo, hydrogen buildup, a lot of things. if it only happens on exertion i'd be looking at a metabolic condition like hydrogen build up. bottom line is this-has he seen a doc yet? lab draws are going to be needed, along with a full history and maybe even a referra...

i remember. i was the rto a few times.

Just watched the videos yesterday. One of my RI's from Florida was doing flutter kicks in the first or second video. We used ASIP's to talk to higher and MBITR's for internal communication. asips....mbitrs....damn...that would've made rucks a lot lighter. we got the big heavy 119's that never worke...

get the rabies shot ahead of time. rabies is a disease that is easily preventable but 100% fatal once cns signs and symptoms appear. the virus works its way to the nerve and then speeds its way to the brain. sometimes you have a very long time to get the vaccine series depending on where you get bit...
