I am here to serve.

Let me caveat my statement by saying that I am not down playing anyone's skills here. I am saying that there is a proper time and place to use those skills. As an 18D you possess a greater knowledge then the common 68W. Prior to TCCC 68W were not capable of handling trauma correctly. (This is a blanket statement. I do not mean to include every single medic out there, just the majority). The upside of combat is you quickly learn your weaknesses in all matters. Medicine included hence TCCC. Now I see 68Ws that can run a pretty sweet CTM lane. Same goes for PAs, DOCs etc that come to get a taste of trauma. Your skills and knowledge are great but the place and timing may be wrong to use them. When you witness 5 medics and a PA standing around your team mate laying naked on a talon with half his blood under him, not in him, you start to understand that if you fail to master the basics you are no expert, you have no advance skills. You are at a minimum a witness to death if not a collaborator.
