Nert Certified

Today I put out fires, triaged boyscouts, learned what "cribbing" means (no, it's not cheating on the final test) and mistakenly tagged someone as dead when I just needed to put their head in an air intake position. Oops. Sorry volunteer victim. Now I'm a certified NERT volunteer with my own helmet, gloves and orange vest.

Neighborhood Emergency Response Team -- as funded for training by the Department of Homeland Security. Although even they had to admit during the chapter on "terrorism" that duct taping your windows isn't really doing to help you. However, duct taping a broken leg to the other leg will serve as a good splint in a pinch.
