Training should be as realistic as possible. After all mitigation are done, being a military member is dangerous. My prayers to the families.

I honestly do not believe we train hard enough. Lightening or rain come, we run inside. Half of an inch of snow, we shut everything down. As both an ER RN and paramedic, I do not get to call out when the roads get bad and have already taken my wife and son out driving in inclement weather. Our medics do not get enough training either, most of them end up as motor pool rats or post beautification when no war on.

Terrible tragedy as I stated in an earlier version of this incident. Since this picture was used, I am close friends with "T.C."'s husband retired Colonel "Bob" Freeman (whom I have breakfast with every 3rd Thursday, monthly, in fact this coming 19th.) His brother, MG Lindsay M. Freeman (now deceased) was an even closer friend, and whom I actually received a visit from when I returned from the Gulf... and also at Drill Sergeant School at Ft. Knox. GREAT MEN and I was/am honored to know them as good friends.
