Training Exercises


It's been a fun week for Chaplain J! First, his team practiced on the shooting range. Chaplains are not allowed to carry weapons, but a little practice for fun never hurt anyone. To the amazement of many, J fired a perfect score. (I wasn't surprised. Were you?)

Next, the group learned some medical readiness skills. Each person practiced inserting IV's and emergency care. Then off to a simulator that trains you on what to do if your vehicle rolls over. It's amazing how disoriented you can get. J says you can't remember which way to pull the door handle to get out. Once you've been tossed around and land upside-down, you can become rather confused. As an onlooker, though, it's quite humorous to watch full grown men fall out of a car door. Of course the Chaplain had his turn to look foolish as well.


PS. We finally got our webcam working. We hope it's equally as easy once the team travels.
