During training yesterday, had to explain to the students / client why glove size and color matter . Black gloves 🧤 though tactical , cool, and cheap sometimes, there’s always pro to cons with any life saving gear . The pro is they come in all sizes , some are actually cheap $ to buy, and some are actually found compress in med kits like ifaks / Jfaks like with ones in North American Rescue , Rescue Essentials , Phokus Research Group , and other med kits/ suppliers . For cool guy points , you look high speed with them or even for the UFC, thw refs to cutman / coach’s have medical to fighting experience rock them as well. Actually, I worked a few fighting events to grappling tournaments seeing coach’s to refs rocking these gloves. Seems also in the tactical medicine community as well, people like these gloves as well. But there’s some draw backs to these gloves. For example, if you’re working in the dark, it’s hard to tell if it’s blood 🩸 or not with low light and etc. Also, it’s hard to see with red light to blue light if you’re trying to be a sneaky ninja 🥷 while rendering aid to people in combat / I know from personal experience/ had to switch to white light / bad guys already knew where we were. There’s also a saying we say in health care / ems, “if it’s wet and sticky, probably shouldn’t be there”. That means when you’re doing blood sweeps with gloves like these in low light / visibility, never assume it’s what you think it is / again personal experience. Cracks me up when I see people trying to “sniff for blood 🩸 “ too. I have terrible sinuses and trying to sniff for blood / “copper smell “👃 is hard with gloves like these or , if you’re wearing a mask in a swat raid or have terrible smell like me. Again , the biggest take away from this is never assume when doing an assessment with tools like this especially head to toe assessments to blood sweeps. Always check front , back and sides of the human body while doing heat to assent because , I have seen people miss exit wounds to additional injuries / again personal experience. All in all, I used gloves like this in training and the real deal and again, each tool out there has its pros and cons. 🧠 🩸 ❤️

Found this old school iodine applicator! We had students and instructors overseas in recent times find stuff like this and they even had the old school plasma bottles / iv s with tubing, ampules , and stuff like this! I used it on my feet because , I had mat burn 🔥 from jiu jitsu to doing boot 🥾 exercises at the Ohio Fire Academy/ yes my old thicc self can still hang with young bucks in training. Pretty simple application, you crack it kinda like a chem light and apply ! Iodine is great for cuts, infections, and other injuries . Mostly, it’s a first aid antiseptic to prevent infection which if you’re active with your feet 👣 🦶, you need to take care them because one your feet go, your body goes ! If you’re into grappling sports/ combat sports, have an active life style, military / grunts / all walks of life, or beat the crap out of your feet like me, learn this stuff to take care of yourself and others ! Everyone should have something like this in their JFAK/ IFAK first aid kits or have common knowledge how to apply it to their injuries including cuts , scrapes , or minor injuries that can lead to infection which again , if you’re a medic / corpsman, you should be teaching this to your peers as well! All I ask is that you don’t sell my feet pics on OnlyFans . Joking 🙃 but for all seriousness and education purposes only , get familiar with knowing medical gear like this even if you don’t see it commonly in the field! Let us know if the comments below if you have seen gear like this in the field or old school glass applicators like this, ampules, old plasma bottles like some of our staff used / saw in Ukraine and Gaza recently. Time to train and time to learn ! 🫀🧠🫁 🫀🧠 🫀🧠🫁jcrowconsultllc

Crazy 9/11 happened 25 years ago. I was in 8th grade watching it go down on the tv while in middle school. Crazy it’s been that long. I became a fire fighter , emt , Navy Corpsman and other things because of 9/11 mostly. It’s also crazy I treated a couple of the 9/11 master minds in Gtmo Cuba 2009-2011 before deploying to Afghanistan 2012 . Ever since then, I ran into people who were responders during the event including the fair tax Virginia fire chief who found the black box of plane ✈️ that hit the pentagon at the time / see older posts / it’s wild seeing the declassified pics of them cribbing the posts in the pentagon during 9/11 and doing breach / entry during the chaos. Did some pump operations training at fire academy yesterday to get some good training and CE s for some of my licenses so , shout out to Ohio Professional FireFighters and Ohio Fire academy for putting on good classes over the years 🔥. Wild how time flies . Even though I’m getting older, shrapnel from Afghanistan is still in my body along with other health conditions/ concerns, I still enjoy keeping up with the young fire fighters , EMTs and first responders who still continue the tradition ! I always have a blast when I have time training with our youth and educating them on why we shouldn’t forget events like 9/11 . No matter what you believe in, there’s some good people out there willing to respond to help save many. It’s time we keep moving forward and never forget nor repeat history. Forever our fallen 🪦 ❤️ 🫡 🇺🇸.

A client of ours sent this video of Ukrainians / Russians doing night ground casevacs via ground via night vision . The front is crazy for Ukraine because of the drone threats , people have to move patients and casualties at night and other means because they will get spotted via IR or NVGS from each side. I think TCCC needs to truly stress this because, each side has technology and each side has tactics . This means that we can’t assume that the PJs , dust off and etc can’t always be there to fly your casualties or your out ! If you look at these wars in Ukraine, Gaza , and Ukraine, it’s really hard to move casualties due to each side having drones, AI, and they even have facial recognition technology. When our instructors wen there multiple times to the front , they informed us there’s an app the Russians use call “hunt a Nazi” and they track your social media, where your family live , who you are, what unit and etc . They’re pretty advance and each side has facial recognition capabilities and they can track your phones, IP/ VPN, and the list goes on. The point of this post is that we need to learn about the mistakes we made in the past and know what’s new and a threat to you and your patients / casualties. We trained people all sides , and all walks of life . There’s nothing illegal teaching medical each side and teach many to save lives rather than to take lives. But yes , Grizzly Medical , and many others we worked with / trained with can tell you the same thing we’re saying and there was Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and combat veterans fighting for each side that we know about and worked / trained with. Know thy enemy , know thy friend. If you guys want, we can post PMC to NGO opportunities to humanitarian opportunities for Wars overseas to stuff locally . Our goal is to/ mission is to empower many to save lives even when we’re gone 🔥 stay informed, stay safe , and if you can’t stay safe, stay dangeorus 💥 🫀🧠🫁 🫀🧠

It’s beyond awesome seeing Jenna Carlton and TVW books at the vets center here locally ! Vets centers are apart of the VA but are created to help veterans navigate the red tape of the Va , group to single therapy, outreach , and beyond ! They helped me with my claims over the years even when the VA said the shrapnel in my body is “not service connected” and took me a few years to fight to get my benefits/ continue to fight some fronts. Jenna’s books are great for journaling and I completed mine recently which I highly recommend for guidance especially, if you had a rough transition like we did ! Go check out her IG pages and her book especially if you’re a female veteran who served or continues to serve 🫡 . Her products helped me personally S well! It’s time as veteran businesses that we empower each other rather than destory each other and actually give back to the communities. For 12 years we support, veteran , minority, and even woman owned business and we still stick to our guns 🔥 Go support / Check them out !

Want to give a shout out to Chris Van Etten / Carbon who was one of my squad mates from sanging Afghanistan from 2012 tour. He just received his blue belt and if you scroll right , he’s above the knee amputee who was able to do a legless no sweep from a competition we both did last year . Dudes a badass just like our other amputee squadmate brad__ivan . Also want to give a shout out to Endeavor Defense & Fitness , 10th Planet Columbus , Wounded Warrior Project , Legion , PROVE THEM WRONG , Gracie Barra Columbus Ohio , and other gyms were tagging on this post for helping em get ready for completions over the years and helping veterans including combat wound veterans place in competition all over ! If you want motivation, check them out ! These organizations and gyms are veteran to first responder friendly ! Being Chris s former corpsman / combat medic, it’s awesome seeing guys like him and Brad that we treated down range still move forward. Working with people like them over the years truly is inspiring. But , check these organizations, gyms and individuals if you want some motivation! 🇺🇸⚡️

Got classes coming up . We also provide classes in Spanish, Arabic , and other various languages next month . Best feeling in the world is not only seeing the enjoyment of students attending the classes but, hearing back from students and instructors / staff save lives and apply what they learn on the real deal ! There’s a reason why we have fake blood 🩸 to lungs 🫁/ organs in our classes. Because , it helps get them ready when they see real deal whether stage side to overseas. We have instructors who been to Ukraine, Gaza , and other Warzones helping save lives each side with humanitarian to volunteer missions as well as working for alphabet soups for government to contracting . It’s beyond amazing to see how far we came 12 plus years and still going ! We don’t have time to make TCCC meme pages or bash other small businesses. Instead, we empower many to save lives and the results speak for themselves. Beyond proud of our students and instructors spreading knowledge that saves countless lives ! 🫀🧠🫁 🫀🧠 🫀🧠🫁jcrowconsultllc

So we do have robots 🤖 guarding the data centers and offices by us. Local law enforcement also has Drones which we had in our classes with AI that is program to track and follow people as well. Harvey is an interesting robot because, he guards offices for medical cooperations as well. There’s actually boat drones, casevac drone vehicles in Ukraine , Gaza and other places too . The robots and drones overseas deployed are a little bit more serious than Harvey but, this is the new norm. Do you think robots like this globally are good for security or a check in the box ? There was actually robots deployed in combat zones recently for Ukraine that are mounted with various weapons too. Theres even people@who use drones to hunt / track deer 🦌 with here as well but like I said earlier, the drones and robots overseas used on land , sea , and air are the real deal. There was drones used for casevac s in Iran even in recent times . If you look up alot of this stuff that we’re talking about, it’s interesting and terrifying at the same time. What are your opinions on drones and robots for public safety, military and etc ? Do you think it will be like Skynet like in the movie terminator or something better or worse.
