The Army doesn't like fixing us and they generally take the cheapest route. I joke about the Motrin but it is based in reality. For a sprained MCL, almost ruptured Achilles, and a broken toe; all they gave was Motrin for each separate event.

This is true. I told them for years that my knees hurt. They asked if I could still do my job. Being to good little Soldier I was, I said, "Why yes I can!". So I CM'd until my knees hurt so bad in the evening I couldn't even sit without throbbing pain. I finally said screw the Army and got my own diagnosis and I have chondromalacia (roughened cartilidge on my patella that causes inflation/pain of the knee joint). I take a strong anti-inflammatory everyday and still have to supplement it with an herbal anti-inflammatory, turmeric. The Army still doesn't care, because I can still do my job and now I have less pain. Until my liver gives out from trying to process all the medication in 15 or 20 years. Oh well. I'll live long enough to draw my pension I suppose and that'll learn em! :crazy:

Yeah, maybe not. After I tore my PCL during a night combat jump at Fort Polk in '98, I took 800mg 3 times per day until 09 when the VA nephrologist told me I had chronic kidney disease. Might want to watch that motrin.

That must have been after they dropped the dosage. Marine Corps prescribed 1000 mg for everything for years.

Would you rather bathe with Glenn Close (25 mins both nude) or have dinner with Madonna for an hour and a half.

Glenn Close without a doubt. I can close my eyes for 25 minutes. I don't know that I could successfully drown out the sound emanating from Madonna's orifices for 90. :blink:

Now you see the violence inherent in the system.

Yeah but you're sharing her dirty bath water with all of her stink-of-the-day

I don't remember the exact timeframe. I know I took CLS in the early 2000's and IV's were still part of the course. When we were preparing for mobilization in 2010, we were informed that the IV portion had been removed. They wanted the CLS to focus on immediate battlefield care like stopping bleeding and maintaining breathing. IV's are the realm of the platoon medic these days.

I last took it in 2004. It was in then.

Just the mention of Madonna makes me want to bathe.
