68W Aid Bag

[@jimwetherell]

91B20 here, Vietnam 66 for 3 months. I am in awe of what has been developed for you to work with. While I am amazed with the number of lives that are now being saved , sadly, my mind goes back to lives that would have been saved if one or two of those items had been available.

[@jimwetherell]

I was a medic in Vietnam in the fall of 66 after 10 weeks of training and all I can say is WOW. I felt helpless and useless on more than one occasion for lack of supplies and knowledge and can now only wish we had the training and equipment you modern medics have. I loved this video.

[@elyselysie2862]

That must have been terrifying!

[@lillianwilliamson5609]

Thank you for your service. I'm sure your brothers and sisters in arms were grateful to have you around.

[@robertdiaz2386]

Your videos should definitely have more views. The amount of information and detail is so useful and I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for this kind of video. Thanks and keep up the good work!👏🏾

[@alexasuric9460]

i’m a senior in HS and am enlisting as a 68w and your videos are making me feel 10x less scared about it so thank you❤️❤️

[@soldiertech2875]

You got this! do your best and I know for a fact you will be a great medic

[@PinstripeJim]

be more worried about taking a crap in an open stall in Basic than 68W training.

[@markanthonypar-wise1499]

As a EMT this was interesting and good ive been wanting to make my own aid bag this will help out a lot

[@ldsnurse9268]

Great vid. I was in a USNR corpsman unit and have been an RN for many years. I learned a few things. I appreciate your hard work. Thanks for your service.

[@soldiertech2875]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@nickduszak5004]

Only made two videos but they’re both super helpful !!!

[@nathanleblancq4217]

Real interesting as a Brit medic to see how our cousins do things, which is to say, not that different 😂

[@markfrey7738]

Great video with explanations of gear. Excellent job young man.

[@iii3370]

Very nice video, I’m a sophomore in high school and I’m planning on being a 68w after a I graduate high school, always wanted to serve my country😄❤️

[@soldiertech2875]

Best of luck!

Now you need your Medical Field Expert Batch.

[@remotetrekker-dg3re]

Good video. You are technically and tactically proficient.

[@martykerker9464]

You don't have to read the + - for the batteries. The negative end of the battery always goes against the spring. the flat end of the battery is always negative end. I enjoyed your video, good info. I took the combat life saver class in the Army 1987 then was an EMT Basic for 35 years.

Pro tip, don’t take your tracheal tube out of its packaging it’s a space pain but it will help make sure your balloon A stays clean and B doesn’t get a hole in it.

[@K1ngsman14]

I ship on the 23rd! 68W

NICE I FUCKING LOVE IT WARRIOR SPIRIT !!!!!

[@erikn1010]

[@Spooner1987]

Enjoyed this vid, good information and little tips

[@soldiertech2875]

Thanks for the feedback :) Of there’s any info you need let me know I’ll make another vid on it

[@hunterdavis7149]

You’ll never give NS to a trauma patient unless you are using a medication drip. If someone lost blood, give them blood. As a medic you should be familiar with and carry a blood transfusion kit as well as the medications to give after administering a transfusion. I understand your aid bag is small, however there are a lot of items that is ideal to have that you do not. Electric B/P cuffs are fun, however you should not rely on it and stick with manual. Also, learn the names of the parts of medical equipment.

[@soldiertech2875]

We work with what we are issued

[@soldiertech2875]

And as a combat medic in the battle field the last thing I’m going to have is time to apply electrical BP cuffs

[@hunterdavis7149]

@@soldiertech2875 you literally showed the electronic BP cuff in your bag? And you will have time. You’re not gonna run through MARCH and expect to have the casualty out as soon as you are done. What if you’re in an area where the Evac won’t reach for an hour? Or 96 hours? Also, there’s definitely a supply issue and I agree, however, get with who ever orders your class 8 and tell them you need this to properly do your job.

[@hunterdavis7149]

@@soldiertech2875when you are treating a casualty as well, it’s not gonna be go go go 100% of the time. There will be moments where you’ll need to take a step back and slow down so you don’t miss stuff, trend vitals early, if they are awake, get a patient history (if they are your own guys then you should already know all their history) and make sure you are getting their proper meds and drugs at the correct dose. It’s easy to mess up a dosage on narcotics so you always have to make sure to do it right the first time. As you get more experience you will learn this.

[@soldiertech2875]

Yea because I bought it for myself to have during clinical time. Unless your an actual 68W I don’t expect you to understand .

[@shahabuddin9131]

Hay soldiers I need a bag like this .its is more special bag I want this

[@mikewebb1595]

Hello I,ve Seen in other videos an external green bag outside the M9 medical pack , can you tell me more what brand is that , and what is that for ? thanks Mike

[@soldiertech2875]

Hello Mike, yes the green bag is a smaller version of the aid bag. Basically it’s enough to treat up to 3 casualties the most really handy because its not so big .

[@mikewebb1595]

@@soldiertech2875 Thanks for your Reply , and as soon please let me know more about that bag what's inside and it would great u can send me some pics too , have a great day Mike

[@kamivillavicencioarauco2321]

I am starting the process to join the NG and I love your videos. I would only like to know how I can do to prepare for the initial exam because I have seen that you have to get more than 101 in the skills and 107 in the technical please

[@soldiertech2875]

Get brushed up on your basic math, word problems stuff like that. And get brushed up on your vocabulary knowledge. The rest is basic stuff you would see like if you took the SAT’s some puzzles and stupid things . The most important is the English and math :) hope this helps

[@shahabuddin9131]

Nice vedio

[@ronni1189]

Awesome video. Do you all use stethoscopes? Or carry them?

[@soldiertech2875]

you carry them in your aid bag

[@Fede_uyz]

Thank you so much!

[@moisesmoreno9323]

Stage your TQs dont put the time tab all the way to the other side just 1 side its faster to put on when you fine motor skills dont work as good. Good info tho thanks

[@matthewmarston5149]

tu do this because tu love food, and love people telling tu your videos helped put "bacon" back on the shitter from the table 😊😂😂😂

What if you HATE needles

[@soldiertech2875]

Well your going to get over it lol because i was terrified but hey you’ll be okay

[@gwarguy7812]

I want to become a army medic but I don't want to risk my life so early, I know it is a war crime to shoot a medic, but did you know any medics that got shot?

[@soldiertech2875]

I understand your fear, it’s completely normal . You need to understand that even tho you are a Medic you are a soldier first . That’s how it is in the army no matter what MOS you choose to enlist under you are considered a soldier first . So if you are deployed and attached to an Infantry unit for example, and you are out patrolling with them yes you will see some action if it is during war time . And hey you need to be prepared for that, as a medic your soldiers are counting on you to feel safe so they can ultimately carry out the mission . If a medic is not confidant the Infantrymen WILL notice and they will NOT respect you at all . I personally have not seen a medic get shot or injured but this is life and this is the military anything can happen . Just be confidant in yourself and what you do and carry on day by day if you are ever deployed .

[@gwarguy7812]

@@soldiertech2875 thank you, this did indeed help, also do you need any prior medical experience to become a combat medic.

[@owenyoungg1]

@@gwarguy7812 No you don’t, you will be taught everything in your A school after bootcamp. But it does help to familiarize yourself with terms and basic procedures prior to leaving… to have some general idea of what to do or a clue of what your instructors are talking about

hello from Russia!) how do you warm the solution?

[@soldiertech2875]

What solution are you asking about

[@kirillskorobach7965]

@@soldiertech2875 It is very interesting to know how in the US Army, doctors warm up the solution in the field, when it is very cold?

Did you need to obtain a clearance to become a 68W?

No

why do you need to know

That's just compressed gauze which requires 10 minutes of pressure. Quickclot or other hemstatic gauzes require only 3 minutes of pressure.

Why don’t they change their socks!? And why is your HR so high??

Some just don’t want to lol I honestly have had to stop training and mandate personal higiene time
