HCAs
We had an updated combat first aid class prior to my rotation in the desert. We were issued will all sorts of new gear, like the quikclot, airways and one handed tourney's (which are also in our survival vests now).
The medic giving the class had told us about keeping the area dry before using the quikcot to prevent burning. I asked about traumadex, and she said she'd read about it, but hadn't used it yet.
The AF is still teaching us to use the tourney as a last resort when all else fails.
