Lately one of our big projects has been teaching Combat Lifesaver to as many people in the battalion as possible.  Its a priority of the Battalion’s, but they tend to think that a CLS can replace a Medic. This training could mean the difference between life and death for a soldier until a medic can arrive and they need a good high quality course that the students will take seriously. Since I don’t do half-assed training, I focus on giving a serious and intensive course, ask my medics.  So I have been running these 4 day long courses almost every week on top of all our other support requirements.  The feedback has been really excellent and I believe that my personal philosophy on CLS has been making an impact on the quality of the courses.

Its gotten pretty busy with teaching Combat Lifesaver and First Responder, coordinating lanes training, ranges, and just the everyday “Hoo-ha” of garrison existence.  Just a couple of things worth noting.

I received an interesting piece of mail today, the annual Army Housing Survey.  Its a little survey asking about how we like on-post housing and our experiences with customer service, service calls, and quality.  Needless to say, my cardboard project housing received very poor scores.
