Have you been in any kind of military service? I did my service about 8 years ago as a mechanic in the Swedish airforce.
We learned a bunch of useful stuff there in those theory classes. One was how to treat shock, only I've forgotten. I remember warmth, rest and calming down the shocked person. There's like 4 more things..

I was suposed to become this special city soildier but the same year i was to do my service the goverment did this budjet cuts on the deffence and that "Base" was shut down.
I didn't care one bit , i figured i should do it cause i had nothing better to do after school but when i was let off the hook i didn't excactly cry hehe!
Now afterwards i figured it was all for the best , my training would have included a lot of climbing on building walls and im scared of heights haha!

I got papers from Finland one day, so I changed my nationality :)
Took me a whole 7 days to become a Swede. The only reason I changed is because they don't let recruits near the planes in Finland. Here we had to learn everything about the fighters. Apart from the basic training, it was like going to a job everyday...dressed in green :)

I was in the Canadian military for a day.(*) They showed us a picture of a gun and said "This is a gun. We have three of these".
Then we ate some back bacon and went home, eh?
(* no I wasn't)

The funniest thing during my service was when we were acting as B-styrka (B-force). It means you are acting as the enemy and get to attack the new recruits during their basic traning.
They had their base set up in the woods as usual. We sent in this guy dressed in plain clothes, with the machine gun hidden under his winter jacket. The m45 has a folding stock so it's really small.
He walked up to the closest quard post and said he had been in a car accident down the road with his girlfriend waiting in the freezing car. He had to see someone in charge asap.
Well, he got to follow one of the quards up to the command tent. The quard walked in but he stayed outside. He then picked out his machinegun and emptied the clip into the tent.
The officers came charging out of the tent and recognized him immediately. He just told them they were all dead :)
Oh the memories..
