Welcome, friends and fellow vets


  Hi, I'm Jack Crowley.

   Hello to my fellow college students, and any other veterans of OEF or OIF. This is jaxvetblog.

  I'm a contractor available to hire for teaching Basic or Combat Life Support skills in this country overseas.

   Currently, Mt. Carmel Medical Systems in Columbus, Ohio, uses me to teach classes for them in First Aid, CPR, Basic Life Support and emergency medicine for use in any situation.

   I do the same thing under contract with Chicago-based Citywide CPR.

   And I have been overseas, soon to South-Central Africa (Rwanda). There I will teach three weeks' combat-trauma medicine to local military medics and soldiers.

 I've also spent 18 months in Cuba, including mass-casualty victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

   Most notably, i spent 7.6 months on dismounted patrol with Marine 1/7 "Suicide Charley" in and near Sangin District, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. I've been humbled by earning a Bronze Star for saving 4 men during a night attack, while myself wounded.

   Sangin has been added by the Marine Times as one of the Marines' bloodiest battles in its recent editions. The area joins Iwo Jima, Hue (Vietnam) and Fallujah (Iraq) in the annals of USMC history.

   So I'm a former "dirt Sailor," a Navy Hospitalman retrained as a Field Medical Technical expert, earning me the designation of "Doc," or a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman.
