i went on to be part of the 3:26 hospital corps. this was the hospital corps that was attached to the 101st. anyway, a lot of the doctors were green when they came in here. they had season doctors, but some of the doctors were green, and that's why was so important to have their seasoned medics. that would help us out immensely. come through and look around if you will. and medical cabinets that you see -- i try to have things that i am going to use. this is a blood pressure cup from world war ii. it works. it works with a column of mercury. it is accurate. basically, you get the laws of gravity and density of mercury. however, how my gun here blood pressure in the heat of battle? normally i would assess them clinically. the guy was sitting up and say hey doctor, how about some more morphine? i could feel his pulse. his blood pressure was fine. but if another guy was cold and clammy. i can't feel his pulse. he passes out. this is the guy that is going into shock. also, remember it when we are not doing battle here. this is your doct

corps. it is incredible program set up by the gentleman standing in the photo in the middle in the east bay. it works with young men at risk in the inner city. it brings them in and gives them a stipend and life coaching, trauma counseling, wraparound services, math, literacy and gives them an e.m.t. class. over 85% of the young men served over 200 so far, over 85% passed the national registry e.m.t. class. that is higher than the national average. we have two of the graduates in our department today. one may be watching today. antoine davis with the black firefighters. these are the future leaders. they have overcome adversity with the proper support. they are standing out in all sorts of weighs in the department now. we also want to do female cohorts. they initially tried male and female because it did not work because of the distraction. with the trauma counseling they needed to separate men and women out. we need funding for this. i have spoken with supervisor walton and director davis a

marine corp. historical company, which is a semiofficial part of the marine corp. they do all the history for them. going to ma nas suss around the anniversary if not on the anniversary of the battle and recreating the route that the marines took. there's a regiment of marines that fought at man as suss famously. we wanted to get the soldiers in uniform, gear, water, everything they would be carrying in battle. and then we wanted to get modern soldiers in modern combat and recreate it together, running when they were running, firing when they were firing, i'm not sure what the regulations were on that. and then afterward seeing what's their hydration level, which we already know is going to be vastly different from the modern and civil war. how many calories did they burn? heart rate, that kind of thing. and then draw conclusions about what effect combat load has between the civil war and today. there are some snags we've hit. obviously the pandemic being the main one. it's not going to happen this year. i can say that for certain now. it might happen next year. th
