Quick AM Update

I have just a little bit of time, so here is a quick update...

Yesterday we trained on the use of gas masks, and then put them to the test.

I can say that the gas masks really, REALLY work!

I know this because we had to go into a gas chamber full of tear gas, with our masks on, and then take them off a couple of times and state certain bits of information.

This of course was not fun. We ended up with runny noses, teary eyes, and a lot of coughing, but we lived through it.

So when you are watching the news and you see the guy run up and grab a tear gas canister and throw it back at someone else, keep in mind that he is really doing something there.

Today we learn some first aid, and I think we are going to be giving one another IVs. Another new experience for yours truly.

Blessings,
Corey

PS: Please keep us all in your prayers. We have a number of students who are struggling with some fairly major life issues.
