    Congratulations on the marriage Boss.

    Purple Heart I assume? I wish you the best in your recovery. You going to be able to stay on Active Duty?

    US Transportation Command - Joint office (used to be a sub-office (GPMRC - but don't know what its called now) that worked to coordinate global patient movement.

    When's your tour up?

    Gotcha. All of our AE stuff now is all coordinated by AE (Aeromed Evac) and we, along with the C-17s, move all of the AE patients in and out of here. I went out to a plane the other day after it landed and there was blood ALL over the cargo floor. Made me sad.

    Good, Something that you can use when you get out. I was a sniper, so all i can really do is kill a man from far away and pump the neighbor's dog...a job that Broncnut claimed from me a while ago.

    Congrats on your marriage. You guys on the ground really are amazing and I could never, ever express how grateful and appreciative I am for what you guys have done/are doing. I'm sorry you aren't going to be able to return to active duty, but congrats (if that means anything) on the Purple Heart.

    Yeah...that scene in We Were Soldiers where they 'wash' the floor of that UH-1 wasn't too far off from some of the real stuff we've seen...

    Sad yes, but good too when you can save a life...

    Defiently emotional highs and lows in this business...

    Sounds like a plan. We just did that with NTL and had a good time.

    Fortunately for us, cleaning out the inside of the plane was easy. The nose tires were worn, so we jacked the nose to change the tires and I just grabbed a couple dozen bottles of water and a push broom and got it done. It's still sad though.

    We just finished up some surge operations in Afghanistan in Helmand province and we have been moving A LOT of AE patients in and out of here. Crazy. Lots of blood pallets too.

    The Lounge sounds like a nice place.
