[Soldier Girl]

Thanks Blw2; nope, doesn't scare me, it assures me. I'm a combat medic, & tho I'm good at thinkin on my feet & coming up w/hundred mile an hour tape improvs for missing or wrong medic supplies, I didn't havta spend much time in he motor pool & as far as generators etc, well, you probably know that soldiers take good care of three categories of folks in their company, their 1st Sgt, Supply Sgt, & the Medics, lol. So now I'm going to pay a price & have a steep learning curve for not paying much attention to those critical non medic skills that most soldiers learn to do upside down & in their sleep. On the other hand, if I ever get into trouble far from the civvie world while boondocking, I taught "primal" skills in my platoon & company - the 1st ever not direct combat related in the 1st Cav, about a yr before the 1st Gulf war (as I told our then Ranger C.O., most scenarios involving survival needs happen bc we did something drop dead stupid without any rambo style resources on hand - he agreed!). So I guess I'm set if it's in the desert for a month or so, not sure about tundra or arctic or jus plain midwestern winter - but I'd give myself decent odds (at least for the knowledge, my body might not agree these days, lol!). I would like to take an RV Bootcamp as soon as one comes available to work on my mechanic skills some. My high tech skills are non existant... Thanks again!
