Day 108: Here we go again

Today we started the day with dress outs. This time, we all had new gear. It is going to take some getting used to. Zippers, Velcro, the stiffness. We did one regular dress out and then head to head. I didn't do so well. 1 minute 39 seconds....well under the two minute mark, but the longest of the class. O-well...it doesn't really matter anyway. Firefighters rarely get ready that quickly...

We moved on to OB/GYN in class. This was mostly a chapter on pregnancy and delivering babies. We took a break to get and fix our gear issues. I just needed another set of gloves and I got them today.

We took another break for lunch. This time we headed to a Chinese buffet in Hixson. Not a bad lunch for $5.

The afternoon consisted of assessments and getting batteries for our various SCBA pieces.

All in all a good day. Tomorrow we move to trauma...
