The Gas Chamber

Today was interesting. We had NBC classes all day long and then we went to the gas chamber. I know not very interesting. But in the middle of one of my classes an E-4 came in and got my attention. We go outside where I see one of my solders on the ground seizing. Someone else is already there giving him an IV and he is crying in pain saying his chest hurts. After a couple of minutes he passes out but is still shaking and throwing up a little bit. The ambulance had already been called. Come to find out later the guy that was treating him was a civilian RN. Thank goodness, since I'm not so sure anyone else there knew what to do. Anyway, after some investigation I find out that his chest had been hurting him last night and evidently after drinking a whole camel back worth of water he was in a lot of pain and collapsed. I talked to the RN later and he said he thought that a combination of his coffee drinking (which after talking to his buddies found out to be a pot or two at night and in the morning... not a cup or two but a pot) and sudden increase in water, he said maybe all of his potassium was flushed from his system or something like that. Anyway the doctor said he would be fine and he is going to go back to train with us tomorrow. Anyway I got to hold his head off of the cement while they were doing stuff on him waiting for the ambulance. Sorry I know its a boring story, but I though you might like it since it was medical.

We went to the gas chamber and it honestly was pretty week. All we did was walk in there, hold our breath and close our eyes while we broke the seal, resealed it and then walked out. We took it off on the way out, buy only if we wanted to. I did of course because everyone else did. Wouldn't want them to think I was a wimpy ranger :) I was hoping the video would be of me having snot all over my face but it wasn't that strong. We have land nav tomorrow. I'll give you a call later. Oh, the dress looks absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see you in it in real life! Love you!!
