Last month I took a bunch of guys to Las Vegas for an exercise at Nellis AFB. It was a good time, only flew every other day so had plenty of time for gambling and strip clubs. One afternoon several guys decided to go hiking in the local mountains. Luckily, one of them brought a camera along to record their exciting adventure.
When they were about two+ miles into the trail, one of them decided to hop over a bush and fell, badly hurting his ankle (yes, I know it looks like he's holding his knee, but it was his ankle).
Whoops. Well, they decided they'd help their wounded friend hop back to the trailhead by giving him a shoulder to lean on.
That just didn't work. Trail to rough, narrow, etc, they felt it'd work better if they carried him.
No, that sucks too. Maybe we can make him a crutch.
Nope, that didn't work either. Then, one of them has the brilliant idea: "Lets make a stretcher like they teach us in the official Air Force Self Aid Buddy Care training course." Of course, the idea to make a stretcher out of your clothing assumes that you'll have BDUs or something equivalent on, not shorts and Tshirts, but they figured it was worth a shot.
They did meet some odd stares as they walked down the trail. One gentleman asked them if they needed any help, when told what had happened he called down to his friends "It's ok. They're not gay." They did have time for one last picture before driving their friend to the hospital for an X-ray. Turns out it was a "class three sprain" whatever that was, but not broken.
