Used to be that A-team medics and other spec ops trauma care types went to Ft. Sam Houston for an 11-month training course.
One aspect was where the cadre would shoot goats so that the students could get actual experience treating gunshot wounds. Sounds cruel, but I imagine a lot of battlefield casualties benefitted from this as opposed to "ojt"... |

The Q course Goat Lab used to be located behind the HALO wind tunnel at Bragg. Was shut down in late 96-early 97 IIRC. No need to use goats anymore, just do a rotation in any big city trauma center and you will get much better practice at treating gunshot wounds.
Now remember, I used to do PSYOP for a living. |

Quoted: I have a friend that was in the Navy for about 8 years spending some time as a Medic working with the Marines. He once mentioned that he went to Goat School. Anyone ever heard of it? I believe the proper term for your friend would Corpsman not medic. |

I scrounged the internet for this before and came up with a whole lot of not much. Although EVERYBODY knows somebody that swears they were graded on shot up goats.
The whole medic/corpsman pass/fail over a shot goat sounds a little UL to me. I'm not saying Uncle Sugar didn't shoot a few goats and see if some dudes could learn anything from it - but I think its application was limited. How would like to be graded on how well you repaired something that was shot. Too many variables involved to make the testing anywhere near fair. It would be b-a-a-a-a-a-d. |

Well, whatever he learned there, it was worth it. He has stiched me and a few of my friends up after hockey games, and he work is as good as that I have received from doctors.

I went to Goat school, when I was in the good old US Army.
of course it was the[b]M561 Gamma Goat[/b] School. This thing was the biggest [b]POS[/b] ever! (or pretty darn close) I recall the popular theory back then about it's origin... It was designed by a female and she did what she "needed to do" to the General in charge of vehicle procurement. [}:D] [img]http://dwp.bigplanet.com/rellitechnology/nss-folder/pictures/M561.GamaGoat.jpg[/img] (sorry to dredge up any bad memories that took years to push to the deepest corners of your mind)[:D] |
