Ooooops!



Well, it was brought to my attention that I have overlooked mentioning a important part of our family here at Mustang... This person you are guaranteed to run into during your deployment. This guy listens to all the complaints, from belly aches, muscle strains, the runs, no runs (MRE caused) and colds. The Medic...

Not only do they put up with the same living conditions as us, they tend to be called on morning, noon and night. I wish medical treatment in the States was this cheap. Our current Medic is on loan to us from another company, he's an American, but calls his home England. Perhaps he couldn't find a good pub within staggering distance in the states. He brags about the great single malts and his fondness of good expensive scotch. The camp befriends him like most would a girlfriend, after all, when the crap hits the fan, you're laying there bleeding and busted...The second thing you hear after "CONTACT" is "MEDIC"!!!!!!!

Since my short time here, this is our fourth medic. Troy, has moved on to a position with Blackwater as a Shooter/Combat Medic, Doc Fraser who just recently left for an extended period of time in the states and Pat, finally getting some quality time with family. All great Docs, willing to put their lives on the line to aid the wounded.

Our PSD teams don't have full time medics assigned, all the shooters are trained to basic paramedic standards and do a great job when the medical side of the job requires it.

So doc "Tom", my apologies for forgetting!!! Crack on and enjoy the new job in Afghanistan

Hugs and Kisses to Shelby, Megs and the rest of the clan. Rebecca, I can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks, vacation is in the horizon. I Love you
