Too many judgemental people on this site. -

I'm not trolling, baiting, or any of that, but I have an honest question. What happens if a biological female wants to join Cavies because the person identifies as a male? -
Seattle Cascades Need Volunteer Nurses
oldsnare replied to DCP NewsFeed's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I would like to maybe clarify the news article. I'm an RN in New York State. I'm licensed in New York State. I will always be licensed in New York State, only. If I want to practice in Pennsylvania, I need only to register there. So, I don't believe the RNs needed to volunteer have to be necessarily licensed in a particular state, they just need to be registered there. That may open up more volunteers. The downside; registering in other states may be expensive. -

There's a snare stick rolling around on the field, too. -
My first Bandmaster, Chief John Bledsoe, retired a Full Commander. He told me he made sure no band ever did those kinds of duties again, and all Navy Bands are now shore based. I believe there are 7 Bands world wide. Navy Band Northwest – Naval Submarine Base Bangor, Silverdale, WA Navy Band Southwest – Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, CA Navy Band Great Lakes – Naval Station Great Lakes, Great Lakes, IL Navy Band Mid-South – Naval Support Activity Mid-South, Millington, TN Navy Band New Orleans – Naval Support Activity New Orleans, New Orleans, LA Navy Band Northeast – Naval Station Newport, Newport, RI U.S. Fleet Forces Band – U.S. Fleet Forces Command, Norfolk, VA Navy Band Southeast – Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL The United States Navy Band – Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC Naval Academy Band – United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD Bands Outside the Continental U.S. PACIFIC Fleet Band – U.S. PACIFIC Fleet, Pearl Harbor, HI U.S. Naval Forces Europe Band – Commander, Naval Forces Europe, Naples, Italy SEVENTH Fleet Band – U.S. SEVENTH Fleet, Yokosuka, Japan Support Unit Navy Band Fleet Support Unit – Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Norfolk, VA School of Music Navy School of Music – Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Norfolk, VA

Before our Med Cruise (1968), the musicians in our band also went to Dam Neck, VA to train to be radarscope watchers, writing backwards on a plexiglass board, a few other odd jobs in the Flag CIC. When we left Dam Neck on our last day, we owned the record for the most number of bogies being tracked in the final simulated class exercise. I don't think that went over well with the top brass of the school. Anyway, Navy Musicians no longer do that second job - just musicians, and I don't believe they have Navy Bands assigned for sea duty anymore.

Just want to let everyone know that an AED is for defibrillating a heart (a heart rate that is so fast, it is functionally useless). All the AED machines I have used will tell you to keep doing CPR if there is no heart rate, and will let you know when it is ok to press the button. From AED USA Can You Use an AED on Someone with a Stopped Heart? The short answer to this is no. An AED can only be used on someone with a rapid heart rate. You cannot use it on victims with an extremely slow heart rhythm or those whose heart stops beating. They are great machines and have saved many lives, but not the initial answer to everything.

Probably off topic, but I compare all ballads to Cadets 2005 "Dancer in the Dark". That, to me, was the best ballad I have ever heard, as well as maybe the best choreographed (with the battery moving backwards getting farther and farther back), yet there was no problem with timing back to front. Such perfect demand.

The system used doesn't pick up the harmonica sound and send it through the speakers. The system picks up the harmonica's vibrations and the system converts the vibrations into notes. I can't get any more specific than that because this is what I heard the corps person explain just before they did their show.
