WEBISODE 4

Trainees learn first aid as it relates to combat situations. Also included in this webisode, trainees learn hand-to-hand combat techniques during combative training exercises.

Wynn: This week has been mainly more about the First Aid Life Saving training and also the combative way of fighting.

Wynn: The first aid classes that I’ve had prior were more of a sit down basis instead of a hand on basis. So this time it actually felt good to actually get a chance to hold the mannequin, get down there and learn the proper techniques…

Wynn: It’s good to learn how to get people out of a combat zone and to get them into a safer environment.

Wynn: MASH doesn’t mean anything unless you use the proper technique of how to lift a fallen comrade and actually get them to safety. It’s good to know that my battle buddy is here who have gone through the three-day course. They’ve learned the material, they’ve tested on it, it assures me that if I’m every wounded or physically injured that they can come rendered assistance as soon as possible.

Wynn: We’re slowly gradually moving up in our combative states, from learning how to do a fighter stance to actually learn grapple with our opponent.

Wynn: Well in combative training repetition is the key, doing it so many repetitions that your body just becomes used and react in a certain way.
