When my bride an I first got married she told me to never wear the ring when I was working around equipment. (Of course the Air Force had some regulations about that as well) She said she would rather I keep all appendages attached where they were supposed to be. The ring went into my pocket on an attachment to the house keys. Worked well for the past 25 years.

I got married and told my bride to be, don't bother getting me a ring because I will never ever wear it, so we had the ceremony without a ring to me. I have never ever been able to wear anything but a watch. It just drives me nuts having something on my fingers or around my neck like these chains people wear. I never will wear a tie, and will never button the top button of a shirt AHHHHHHHHH
I've used Duct tape for sprained ankles and wrists in the field. Wrap the sprained area with some sort of paper FIRST, ( toilet paper, news paper, paper towels etc. ) so the Duct tape doesn't stick to your skin. If it's an ankle take the sock and cut it off later.

I'd say that the O-6 ID card stopped about everybody.Oh, I NEVER had any problems....I would locate the loudest "snicker-er", put on my best "war-face" and ask in my "outside voice"....
"....YOU FIND SOMETHING "FUNNY" HERE, TROOPER (Sailor, Marine, etc)...??!!!"
....if the gray hair, unmarked BDU's and 6' x 250lbs didn't work, then that "O-6" ID card did...
...Precious Bride sez I have a REAL GOOD "war-face"....
...Carry on...:cool2:

The "O-6" indicates a rank of Full Colonel or Naval Captain...
Even tho I was a Civilian contractor, Medics were considered priority personnel...I was issued that card so I could use military air transport when no civilian assets were able to fly...
I never had to use it for that in 3 years...and there were enough folks with them running around Baghdad that an O-6 card and $5 would get you a cheap cigar...
Be Safe!

That would correspond to the rank of Colonel for the United States Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps or that of Captain in the Navy, Coast Guard, Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps
