Thanks for the word of caution, but in my case I am CLS certified, I don't carry anything I'm not trained on and comfortable using, and I have successfully employed that training downrange when it meant life or death.

To clarify the question, I'm looking for some recommended guidelines for selecting NPA gauge. My training has all been on fellow male service members using 28fr airways, and that's what I carry in my IFAK and in my M3 kit should I need it for a team member.

In my specific AO, as in most of Asia, adults are about 5'4 - 5'8 and smaller framed than the average GI. I know the guidelines for how far to insert, but I'm looking for somebody more experienced than I in this part of the world who can give some advice on what gauges to carry here. I don't want to get caught in a situation where a pt needs it so I can focus on more than the airway, and can't get it in because I didn't come prepared.
