After 3 months of basic training in northwestnorthwest Texas (a barren desert, ) this man receivedreceived orders to report for medic duty in England. In Suffolk, England there was no combat, only lots of suffering and families in need.
When in Europe, he was an independent practitioner who was working in the emergency room of a central British hospital. There were no official doctors on site, only medics like himself with 3 months of training. While on active duty he and his friends switched off days so that one person would have to work 16-hour shifts for a few days and then get to rest while the other would be working.

They got a call from a home on the Army Base that was about a mile away. In the ambulance they rushed to the house and found an infant that was unresponsive. Carl carried the baby to the ambulance giving it CPR but the baby unfortunately did not make it. Veterans who serve our country are devoted to helping people even when the situation is tough as Carl demonstrated here.
Even though Carl Mahoney was in the service during the middle of the Vietnam War, he would not like to be considered a Vietnam Veteran. Instead, a “Vietnam Era Veteran”, as he was not involved in any combat. Carl made impeccable friends who he is still in touch with today. When US Medical Corpsmen are on active duty they have little to no determined personal freedom. This means you can not just take the day off because it is your birthday or you are tired, you have to compromise your freedom to help your

Some rumors say we had

It was 115 degrees; the platoon was walking through the middle of the desert each of them with 40 pounds of gear on and an M16A2 rifle. It was summer time in the country of Afghanistan and the temperature was rising. At this point I asked myself what the hell I am doing here and why did I join the United States Army? Right when I was thinking that I felt a tug on my leg and there stood a young boy about 7 years old with only one arm, “Candy,Candy” he asked. Upon speaking with the local villagers we found out that his arm was taken from an improvised explosive device (IED) planted

The Mahele of 1848 was a time where foreigners could buy and sell land, supposedly for the goodness of Hawaiians. According to Richard Borreca of the Star-Bulletin, many of the foreigners believed that if the Hawaiians were to own land, they would give up their lazy and ignorant ways. However, the natives were new to this concept, and outsiders were the only people who had money. Therefore, the foreigners were the people who bought certain regions of Hawaii. This means that the Mahele was beneficial to foreigners because it gave them the right to own land as well as a more efficient way of producing sugarcane.
When I lived in Mahomet I hardly ever heard about any crimes. The town is usually very boring unless there are activities going on or high school games. Since last time I was there I have only seen two police cars at the police station. The community is very friendly and most of the people that live in Mahomet look out for each other. So if the young the kids are up to no good their parents will soon know about it because mostly everyone knows someone. Because Mahomet has low crime levels it is a safe environment for raising a family.
