Meet SGT Imel...he's one of our medics who does a little bit of everything. Yesterday he was teaching classes to Soldiers so they would know how to care for wounds. Today he was helping me in the clinic. Some days he scrubs personnel lists to ensure everyone has the immunizations they need. He was at a meeting with me the other day assisting with planning...he's a great help. Oh...and then there's the rock. I'm learning more about the army daily. This is a tradition I had not heard of. All of our NCO's will be doing a ruck march soon. 12 miles in 3 hours. They'll be wearing their full gear (about 33# of body armor) and then they will have a pack with lots of water -- and a ROCK! Everyone has picked out their rock, cleaned it off and is decorating it. When they get back there will be quite the colorful rock-pile. And, of course, they'll use these rocks over and over....
