Thank you for your service.
Been there, done that, have the T shirt.
Yeah, those of us that have been “in the field” know how things go. I used “bow knots” on the cravats, but also positional advantages, like arms crossed over chest with wrists tied to backboard (with bow knots to release easily), ankles tied to the other end of the backboard, straps over thighs so legs can’t be flexed and over chest so they can’t raise up- in addition to the arms crossed over.
If they were really bad, we’d just use a second backboard on top of them, sandwiching them. Didn’t have to do that often tho’. But if you’ve been there, you already know how those things are done. LOL
I’m sure the bleeding hearts nowadays would get me fired quickly for doing any such thing that “mistreated” the poor SOB’s. That’s one reason why I got out... in addition to the bad back.
