I appreciate the pics I just looked at (since my last post). Enjoyed!!
Can't be that old - your body armor is ACU!
MK19s are awesome - To me, there is somethng very soothing about the tempo of its slow rate of fire and watching the rounds travel down range before adjusting on the impacts.
You've got that, "What? No more ammo?" look on your face!

Last year's all-era MC vet's gathering
This pic was taken in April 2008 at a Marine Corps vet's reunion at Parris Island. I'm on the left. Jack Lucas, the youngest MOH winner in MC history is in the middle. "Doc" Fonseca, Navy Cross winner, is on the right. Their stories are both very compelling. Unfortunately, Jack passed away a couple of months after this photo was taken. Doc had a Crucible event named after him at Parris Island and it was unveiled while our group was touring the Crucible.

note: this was in Kosovo, during an advanced trauma class. great training! to this day, i can stick an IV or draw blood no problem. i calm myself down by joking / telling the truth - "i haven't done this in "x" amount of years![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")

the 16 guage catheter is a garden hose. that blood meant i got a good a good stick!

unlike me, wearing one bandage on each arm vs. her wearing one back then, the trauma protocol called for two "large" bore IV's in 16g or larger - generally speaking.
she used an 18 guage on me, but i wanted to use the real deal on her
mr. green = 18g
mr. gray = 16g **my favorite**
mr. orange = 14g, aka the garden hose
- i'll only use this if you are on the ground

Matty where were you stationed on the rock in '97?
I was stuck up north on Camp Schwab from 04/97 to 04/98.
Then you need to update that pic.
BTW - were you old enough in that picture to have kids???
