NC PATCON 2013 TCCC

SFMEDIC
VERBATIM

I will be conducting a condensed one day Tactical Combat Casualty Care course at this
year's PATCON on Friday May 3rd. We have a few open slots left as class size will be limited to 15 max. If you would like to attend contact Brock at FREENC to sign up;

The cost is $100 per person with half going to fund the PATCON expenses. When you register, send me your email and I will send you some advance reading and list of items to have with you. This course normally last a full week so we will cover alot of information in a short time. I have taught this course to all five branches of our defense department, some federal three letter agencies and every allied nation we have in Europe, Mideast and Africa. It will be something you can take back to your home team and continue learning.

  

These are the key topics we cover in the one week course and we will hit most of them at the PATCON. I will place special emphasis on skills needed in the Care-Under-Fire and Tactical Care phase.

Attendees should wear weather appropriate clothing and clothes they don't mind getting dirty.
Some of the program will involve alternating between being a rescuer and a casualty.
All should bring a .223/5.56 firearm with a sling to class BUT NO AMMO. They
can leave that in their auto or campsite. If they don't own one, another rifle or replica will suffice.

I would like to start at 0800 hrs so we can be sure to cover as much ground as possible.
