Hey classmate, be careful down there if you go ashore. See if you can pack, because it's probably going to get uglier as time passes.

Keep safe.

I've a few days to pack. The ship's crew is taking the boat down with all the medical personel to meet up when she gets down there!
I was told to pack my BDUs, Gore-Tex, and many pairs of dry socks! I think that is a hint that I will be ashore! I assume that N.O. will not be the same place I remember (VERY foggily) from my week-end trips to Burbon St. when I was a wee Ensign in P-Cola many moons ago!

Will try up update once I get there......can anybody reccomend a nice compact, yet sturdy digital camera?

Have them issue you a weapon, or smuggle your own. You're going into a war zone, not Mardi Gras.

Don't worry....this old Marine knows the score!

NavyDoc1: My children bought a Canon Powershot SD400 Digital Elph. Seems to work pretty good for them. I think somehting like $300(?). You'll probably need at least a 512MB mem stick.

Please be careful NOLA is a dangerous place.

You need a washed up ol ex-AF X-Ray slinger, just holler!

The Elph is the way to go. I used one a while back. Take lots of batteries (and ammo).

Be careful.

Yeah forgot about the batteries. I had to shoot a friend's wedding with it, you will definitely need a couple of extra batteries. The camera is pretty small, it will easily fit in an ordinary civilian shirt pocket, probably get lost in a military BDU shirt pocket.

NavyDoc1: I have a friend who is a x-ray tech, but I think he knows more about radios, because some people refer to him as a radiologist.

C-Arm and stationary. My speciality was portable/surgical radiography, however, I spent plenty of time doing special proceedures in service and civilian life.
I did Phase 2 at the USAFA, boocoo arthrograms, knees mostly, but did a couple shoulders an ankle (OWWW) and an elbow ( double OWWWW), many myelograms etc.
Too many retrograde proceedures to count, or forget.
