First Aid/Buddy Care Updates?

#1

Post by TIEFighterTK069 »

It's been a minute, and I'm interested in some refresher training and updating/expanding my first aid/buddy care (that's what they called it back when I went through OSUT) skill sets...
Seems that responder relationships have changed with regard to tourniquet use, for example.
Anyone have some vetted recommendations for, or experience with courses in SoAZ? Anyone here offer training?

Hi, Tim.
I'm in Tucson.
Just checked their website and looks like they do that course every 2nd Sat. Thanks for the tip.

I was also at the class today, it was excellent. Don't bring your wallet in...the patch wall is too tempting.
