OK... by the looks of the second photo, you are all preparing to summit Mt. Erebus that's in the background...

By the way, Medic School starts in four days. It's going to be super busy for the next nine months. I definitely won't have a social life, not that I have much of it now.
SAR's been sort of slow, and I could only imagine it'll get slower as winter approaches. I hope that I'll have some spare time from the medic school for SAR meetings and trainings.
Election is next thursday, but I won't be there because I have a 24 hour shift that day. I was asked by a few people if I was going to go for Sergeant, but told them that I won't have much time this next year. Not the thing they'd want to hear, I'm sure, but it's the truth.
Hey, anyways, I'm going to steal your email, and some photos from your blog and put it on mine. :D
Take care man.
You are welcome to take all you want.
Happy One-Month Anniversary of your Antarctic adventure.
How does one practice search-and-rescue? I'd imagine you could slap a beanie and some mittens on a seal, hide it somewhere, and then go out and find it.
Trust me, the seals will love it.
Practise skills like tracking, land nav, glacier travel and crevasse rescue, rope team trael, litter (stretcher) lowering and raising, and lots more stuff like that. Hopefully I'll find out if I made the cut in a day or two.
