She’s probably doing nails in L.A. hahaha
I’m assuming this was ‘65 or ‘66? Just curious how long the M-14’s were still being carried onto the boats.
LOL !!! YEAH, that’s for sure. I’ve been knocked out with Meds for itching and sinus drainage and it works but I just can’t stay awake.
Thank Y’All for the update and info.
I was always taught a saline flush was better on wounds.
In many westerns the good guy just shrug’s being shot off and is good as new by the end of the episode.
Ahhh..the power of good. ;-)
My personal experience was its Highly unpleasant
But a non life threatening wound in a fire fight or battle of some sort could be ignored if it doesn’t affect breathing or structural support like major bones..
Once I realized I wasn’t near death .....or at least i hoped though I wasn’t convinced till emergency room located the butlet
I’m saying I can see how people fight on....wounded....
Now a sucking chest wound ...or perforated liver or kidneys or major digestive tract damage or sexual organs or bladder damage ....and of course major cranium damage...
It would be hard to keep,fighting ..mine was minor cranium intrusion and luckily with a 20 caliber....if it had been a 35 Whelen I wouldn’t be here ..no life....no kids...not hot wyfe......
Thank You, I didn’t know that. So would Saline be better to rinse IF needed (dirt in wound) or just pack and pressure ?
I was wondering about that part when I read it. I’m thinking more like immobilized and loaded on a Backboard and/or Stretcher. And if still under fire keep low to the ground like a snake.
Yikes!!! I’m glad that You made it Home safely.
6 weeks later ? Interrogation or just happened to run into her ?
Thank You for Your Service.
Very true.
Bttt
Thank you I appreciate kind words
Wow, I’m glad You made it.
I’m guessing that Your Dog collection is over the years, pretty Rotties. I’ve had numerous Dobies and want another one if We can ever get a fence completed because 3 big Dogs in the house all the time just won’t work with the 2 We have now, a deaf Boxer and rescue Cane Corso Italian Mastiff are underfoot and neurotic enough without adding in a high strung Dobie Puppy.
Stay Safe and Take Care.
Just pack and pressure. If the person lives the wound will be cleaned when treatment is rendered. You have no idea where the wound goes or what you would stir up with your irrigation and the priority in the field is to save a life. Others will worry about infection later.
Got it, Thank You!
“6 weeks later ? Interrogation or just happened to run into her ?”
She sent a note to my commanding officer from the Qui Nhon Womens POW Camp asking to meet and thank the GI that saved her life. I and another GI took a jeep and drove about 10 or 12 miles to the prison to meet her. We spoke for about a half hour, she thanked me for getting the medical help and then we went back to our base.
That’s amazing and good on You. God was watching Y’all during that and saying to Himself that is what I want All humanity to do. And You were in the middle of a war. Triple Kudos to You. Glad You made it Home.
Stay Safe and Take Care.
You and I like the same dogs......great choices

Hoyt Doberman with some training...red.....a smart home defender....truly a T Rex of a dog.....but terrified of my 100 pound mother ..lol..he was my dads last dog...he smelled my dads death on me and it scared him into trembling in the corner so scared I’d killed big boss ...we took him to the hospital and docs let him see my terminal dad and he was much better....
Scott style American bulldog...
Black .....a champion....he bit everyone so I sold him to a French breeder where he was at stud for a decade....he would have made a serious fighting dog in the 1700s....I do not like that activity but he was a pugilist
Then I had a big male black face Rott...maybe my closest dog...
He got killed by car.....I sobbed for only time in my post 12 years of age life which scared my kids
He had gone everywhere with me for four years every day
Then we had a big female Johnson america bulldog....she was dangerous to everything but humans ...no guarding instinct but beautiful ....
Sugar taffy rose....you can Google her
Then two brother rotties.....who we still have ....great big 140-150 pound dogs.....my wife adores them
Then a son of the aforementioned pugilist ...then he started fighting the Rotts ..I gave him to a SF vet pal from Bragg
He triaind him and breeds him....he’s a great one person dog
And believe it or not....my oldest daughter got married and put her geriatric chihuahua with me....cataracts and grizzled...she goes everywhere with me
And I never lied little dogs....she sleeps between wife and I...by our heads
Spoiled rotten
We also had a few quail and duck dogs over the years.....English labs being the best for ducks in my opinion
