Thanks mate. But its like a fucken gang bang, Im expected to bite.
I think you are right about the medics not agreeing. But the bodies Ive seen and carried were stretchered or airlifted. Mind you, a couple of them were civvies in a car accident.

umm they dont, ever... unless forced uinto a situation where they have to
They help the injured usually at a further back point, but dont 'fight' on the front line. Some of what you say i agree with, some not...but my experience isn't huge, I am going by what I was taught and shown by much more experienced personnelle. And yes it does take 4 people to stretcher a person be they dead or alive...have you ever tried to carry a body with a rifle, and all ya gear, under barbed wire, thru streams and under bombardment, especially if they are some 6ft 4 bloke with all their gear.
its one of the first things i learned and has stuck by me thru the years...it makes it easy for the docs/nurses to know straight away from a long distance if they have a person to save or bury

Ive run with a body in full FSMO, rifle and a water container for 5 clicks. Not under bombardment or fire but still not my idea of a good afternoon, but I know what you mean. I do appreciate what you say and the fact that you know where Im coming from.
I'll pass that on thanks. So what is it about bringing a body back thats different to bringing injured back?

No stop as far as I can see...
OK Snip, ya havent answered the question, so ya obviously dont have a flatmate thats a x Medic, and you obviously never did basic training... now even I know that if a body is a dead burger then its carried in feet 1st... if its a tad munted but breathing then its carried in head 1st![]()
Maybe you can explain why that is... NA, didnt think so![]()
cheers DD

The newboy streacher carrier allways goes second/behind so being the newby and inexperienced if he drops the streacher = dead guy lands on head munted live guy lands on feet, as tested on myth busters. There you go Sniper answered for you so you can spend more time at the range sharpening up those skills.
Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.
and also so the poor fkers cant see what sort shit you about to carry them thru as well... they wont wriggle around as much then either![]()
