Navy Dentist in Iraq

THE END!

2008-12-08T18:53:00.000-08:00

Since I am no longer a Navy Dentist in Iraq and will not be a Navy Dentist in 6 months, I felt it was time to get a new blog. I hope that you have enjoyed reading this blog, but most of all the looking at pictures of my time in Iraq.

Follow along in my new blog as I document the next 3 years as an Orthodontic Resident at USC.

LIGHTNING

2008-09-29T12:44:00.000-07:00

Today was our last official day with medical battalion. We are now "officially" going back to work in our clinic. On the drive up I caught this storm passing through San Diego. I guess this is a good end to my Blog. Maybe I will post a video if I ever get it finished or start another blog. So much to do, so little time.

COMING SOON

SHOUT OUT

2008-08-24T21:32:00.000-07:00

I made this shout out to my best friend Luke who got married while I was in Iraq.

FINALLY

2008-08-22T13:11:00.001-07:00

I have been waiting 7 months for this. An epic dust storm that I could actually see the front of it moving in. Of course this was the only time I was glad to see the dust storm come, so I could get a pic of it. My work here is complete.

USE THE FORCE!

2008-08-16T06:40:00.000-07:00

After a year of lectures, signs offs, field trips, 6 mile hump, and pistol qualification I finally received my Fleet Marine Force pin.

INFO ON THE FMFQO PIN

Attainment of the FMFQO designation for a Navy officer signifies an achieved level of excellence and proficiency in Marine Corps operations and indicates a fundamental understanding of a Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) and its components. The FMFQO insignia signifies additional general knowledge that enhances their understanding of war fighting, mission effectiveness, and command survivability.

History & Significance of the FMFQO Device

The Eagle, Globe and Anchor (EGA - Marine Corps Emblem) is centered on the breast insignia as the capture of the device, making a clear statement that the wearer is a member of the Navy/Marine Corps team.
Background - At the time the advice was designed, Forward… From the Sea was the Navy and Marine Corps joint vision for the future. This is represented in the background of the device; a surf wave crashing on the sandy beach (the littoral zone), the place where Sailors have served alongside Marines as the earned their reputation, “on the shores of Tripoli” and the “sands of Iwo Jima”. The littoral (or coastal) regions of the world are also where the Navy and Marine Corps team will exert the U.S. Interests in future conflicts as reflected in the doctrine of the time, “Operational Maneuver from the Sea”.
Crossed Rifles - Warfare programs have served the purpose of installing warrior ethos in Sailors as well as enhancing mission effectiveness in both individual and unit survivability since their inception. On ships and submarines, every Sailor is trained as a firefighter and damage control man to fight and save the ship in an emergency. With the Marines, it is essential in combat for every person to have the knowledge and skill of a rifleman, if the unit is to survive. The two crossed rifles symbolize the rifleman ethic this program is designated to install in Sailors assigned to the Marines.
Scroll - The scroll along the bottom of the breast insignia is emblazoned with “Fleet Marine Force” Although Marine componency was established in 1982, significantly changing the operational environment in which Marine Corps forces deploy and operate in a joint environment. The Navy continues to utilize the title Fleet Marine Force in their role as a Naval Type Commander, therefore since programs are a distinct part of Navy culture, it is appropriate our program be titled after the role in which Marine Forces are tied to the Navy.

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT...

I was asked by my dental school to write a first person account of my experience in Iraq to be published in the monthy update. This is the best I could come up with.

FALLUJAH T-SHIRTS

2008-08-01T01:50:00.000-07:00

Here are some T shirt designs we have had made. The STP is for the group and the fencing one is for one of the Doc's fencing club. No I did not pick up a sword, but I think I will have to get a shirt.

If you are looking to have t-shirts made then you need to check out Mary Ann @ Sew Saintly
maryann@sewsaintly.com www.sewsaintly.com

She has done an excellent job on our shirts. Great communication, quality, and most importantly pricing!

FOR THE BIRDS

2008-07-30T21:26:00.000-07:00

I thought this was funny when I saw the pigeons sitting in the tree next to the clinic. If you take a closer look you will see the man is on the right. How do I know this? He is checking out the other bird flying bye. Yeah, I've been out here too long!

I am always leery when I see a reduction in the pigeon population and they are serving "Cornish Hens" at the chow hall. Coincidence? I think not!

YARD WORK

2008-07-27T22:22:00.000-07:00

We woke up at 5AM to demilitarize the camp. It is only in the 80's so it makes the work bearable.

My team was in charge of moving the tires that were stacked throughout the camp. I was taking pics of other people when someone said that I should get my pic taken.

After we moved the tires we had to start taking down the sand bags.

Run Forest Run! This is the psychiatrist. He seems to only sweat smiley faces.

Here is our tire pile.

INCOMING?

2008-07-21T14:58:00.001-07:00

At first glance you would thing there was some sort of incoming that hit Camp Fallujah, but fortunately it is just the burn pit.

SUNSET IN FALLUJAH

Mr. Jingles UPDATED

2008-07-13T04:25:00.000-07:00

Last night I went to throw some trash away when I noticed something dart along the wall out of the corner of my eye. It was pretty late so I was wondering if I had started seeing things. I moved some things around and a mouse scattered away. I put on my boots, grabbed my head light, broom, and opened the door trying to hockey one time slap shot it with the broom out the door. He disappeared somewhere under the fridge. I have no idea where he went so now I guess I have a permanent room mate.

UPDATE

About a week after the Mr Jingles sighting he was caught in the room next to mine. A few days later there was a Mr Jingles reincarnate. Either that or it was Mrs Jingles seeking revenge. She was also caught in the Captain's room next to mine. Captain is the only one in the group who is going to leave Iraq with 2 kills.

4th of July in Fallujah

2008-07-04T21:27:00.000-07:00

We had an "All Hands" flag ceremony for the 4th of July before the BBQ. Flags that were flown today will be given the above certificate of authenticity. We did not get the day off unfortunately. I did not get to see any fireworks or go to the beach, although there is plenty of sand here. There was a controlled detonation by EOD, but I did not hear it. Just another day in Fallujah.

SNAKES ON A BASE!

2008-06-25T12:51:00.000-07:00

After dinner I was going in to my room when CDR was at her door with a bucket in her hand. She said "John, do you see that?" Down the hall was the snake slithering away from CDR's room. It proceeded to go into another door which was locked. About 20 minutes later and 3 rooms the snake hid in, we had Norm the Navy seal turned Ortho Physicians Asst. charm the snake. It was a catch and release program. Needless to say everyone in here was sealing off the bottom of their doors that night.

OSPREY @ NIGHT

2008-06-22T12:07:00.000-07:00

The night photos are mine, but I included some other pics (http://www.richard-seaman.com) since most of you might not know what the Osprey looks like. I have some of my own pics of the Osprey from the Miramar air show, but they are on the computer back home. I set my camera up on the tripod about 1 foot off the ground and it got blown over from the thrust of the propellers as I took shelter behind the SUV. It is still alive! I almost had my first casualty, but I brought it back to life. The yellow light is the crew chief walking by the camera as the shutter was open. They have a little light they wear on there vest. I was chewing sand for about 30 minutes after takeoff. Next time I don't think I will get so close.

100th POST....

2008-06-18T14:21:00.001-07:00

Looks like I made it to 100....posts that is. Here are some pages I put together for our Cruisebook. We were alloted 6 pages for the group we are attached to. I will most likely put one together for the group at the end of the deployment. I decided to submit these after seeing what they had done for our pages. Let's just say there was much to be desired.
I took a break from my applications to work on this. 5 days and 6 pages later, it's finished. About 90% of the photos are mine. The artwork on the signs is from the last dentist who was a master painter. I just put my twist on them.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

2008-06-04T14:11:00.000-07:00

I'm a little preoccupied getting my applications completed for Ortho residency, so I have not posted anything in a while. Between all the application forms I jump from photoshop to MS Word until my head spins. My Excel sheet is daunting and packed full of info. I have to email everything to Secretary Sarah to print and mail (sometimes Secretary Sandi fills in). Administrative Ass. Alan is always too busy to help. I'll remember that when he comes to me for his kids treatment hahaha Double the cost! Transcripts, recommendation letters, and writing checks $$$ is keeping me busy. I will get back to taking pics when I am finished with the application process.

IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME

2008-05-28T11:13:00.000-07:00

In case you haven't figured it out...this is a countdown to when we come home. There is an excel file that counts it down from months, weeks, days, and even second until we return. The group here like to go by paydays remaining instead. 6 if you are wondering.

HUDDLE UP

2008-05-04T15:56:00.000-07:00

All the members of the 1st Dental Battalion Camp Pendleton got together for a group photo and dinner. 6 of us work in a dental capacity. All others are augmented to medical or work in headquarters.

Here is a pic of everyone stationed at Miramar.

Toby Keith came to Fallujah and played a few songs. After his concert he came by the STP to visit medical and say hi to all the wounded troops. Fortunately we only had a Ugandan guard sleeping in the ward and a detainee as a pt, but no wounded Marines.

GySgt Gibson, the first Marine to re-deploy after losing a limb had his artificial leg signed by Toby. No that is not GySGT Gibson. That is our CAPT welcoming Toby.

A COMPLETE SUCCESS

2008-04-03T10:24:00.000-07:00

Operation April F.Ools was a complete success. The word about the internet being shut off spread like wildfire. Most were angered at first glance and did not continue to read who the letter was from. Some people could not open the .doc on their mac. As a result they heard from others who fell for the prank. It also helped that the fake email address I made in CDR's name kept people from suspecting me as the culprit.

Until next year....

BRAVO ZULU

2008-04-01T12:57:00.000-07:00

I took some pics of some of our dental techs in honor of their awards.

HN (FMF) GRANT awarded Junior Sailor of the Quarter.

HM3 (FMF) MILLER awarded the Commanding Officer's Award for Clinical Excellence.

April F. Ools

2008-04-01T06:58:00.000-07:00

In the spirit of April Fool's Day I wanted to think of something good for the group. As you may know we have satellite internet in our room which is somewhat costly. Although it is worth the cost to be able to webcam to family back home. We have paid for the first three months of service. I drafted a fake letter from our internet service provider stating that they were filing for bankruptcy and our service would be canceled without a refund.

I emailed it to all the officers shortly after midnight from a fake email account I created. I knew no one would believe it if it were from my email and since CDR is our business liaison, I created a fake email krisjknutson@gmail.com. At first glance you would think it was her email, but I put the "J" in the middle for my name.

If you read the letter you will see it is signed by April F. Oools so it should be obvious.

I was approached today by one of the officers that said she had her boyfriend researching the bankruptcy. She was also telling the nurse about it at lunch. I will update you as I hear more, but so far it seems like a success!

INCREASED TUITION

2008-04-01T06:50:00.000-07:00

I can't even imagine how much USC's tuition would be if they got these in the sim lab.

MY NEW RIDE

2008-03-29T14:42:00.000-07:00

Sure it can take on anything in its path, but does it come in black?

IRAQI PRINCESS

2008-03-28T12:50:00.000-07:00

When asked what she was going to do upon returning from her tour in Iraq, CDR said "I'm going to Disneyland!" It has been said that she makes her niece and nephew call her Princess Beautiful in return for gifts. You can imagine how she runs the clinic. This is one of many crowns she has in her wardrobe.

This photo was taken in front of the recently renovated clinic that was designed according to the CDR's specifications.

SURVIVING IN THE DESERT

2008-03-24T12:24:00.001-07:00

Due to the harsh environment of Iraq we had some survival training on a new technique now being developed. The trials are still in animal testing, but the results look promising.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT...

2008-03-24T11:39:00.001-07:00

Easter also brought our first day of 100 degree temps IN THE SHADE!

Only in Iraq can a Jesus made of BUTTER survive the temp. He Lives, but with High Cholesterol.

2008-03-23T05:36:00.001-07:00

HAPPY EASTER

IS THERE A MARINE BIOLOGIST?

2008-03-19T10:15:00.000-07:00

Never a dull moment in Iraq. Wednesday nights are SURF N TURF here in Iraq. A choice of a slab of meat, crab legs, or shrimp. As CDR and I were eating I noticed some Marines a few tables down that looked to be rough housing. It turned out that someone was choking and was receiving the Heimlich maneuver. I stood up and looked back to where our ER docs were sitting, but they had left already. By this time the thrusts were so intense that the pt was being lifted off the ground and puking all over the floor. It looked like he was getting the job done so I did not feel the need to ask if I could cut in. The pt was ok so I gave the rescuer a pat on the back and said good job.

It reminded me of a Seinfeld episode where the whale was choking on a golf ball Kramer hit into the ocean. George was pretending to be a Marine Biologist and was called upon th save the whale.

WHAT TO EXPECT...

2008-03-18T08:37:00.000-07:00

Well, here is CDR working again. An earlier post you may notice her top was a few sizes too big. Her family asked her when she was due and said how exited Grandma was going to be. This pic is to show that she is not expecting. Sorry Grandma! Actually this pic makes her look about 10 weeks. JK I think I will have to change this caption once she reads it, so enjoy while it is up.

After a nice game of volleyball we decided to cool off the tough guys.

RED SKY...

2008-03-16T13:07:00.013-07:00

Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red Sky in morning, sailors take warning. Red sky all day, better start to pray!

TV

2008-03-16T00:10:00.000-07:00

Yes, I have a TV. Since we have been in Fallujah for some years now there have been many before us. A lot of junk has accumulated, but some good stuff has also been passed down. Just about everyone has a tv in their room, some bigger than others. The Armed Forces Network consists of about 10 channels here. It is by no means HD, but we can't complain. The commercials are so bad they are funny. Shows air about a day later than in the states. Lost is on tonight at 2300 and is worth the wait.

The other night when our power went out CDR said "I can deal with no lights, concrete floors, and boarded up windows. When you take away my American Idol, then life is just unbearable."

TV night consists of covert operations. Some of these include Operation Alpha India, Sierra, and coming soon Delta Whiskey Tango Sierra. Anything to keep us entertained.

DAILY COMMUTE

2008-03-15T09:48:00.000-07:00

I asked the people "what do you want to know about my life in Iraq?" Some of the responses were how far is your work, what's the food like, do you get your own shower? This is the first of the series of answers in which I will attempt to express my life here in Iraq.

Notice the sky in the video. There are no special fx here. The sky was orange most of the day. My favorite weather forecast, "blowing dust!"

An hour before this picture was taken, the wind was blowing hard and sand was everywhere. It got in your eyes if you weren’t wearing eye protection and you could feel the grit in your teeth. We even got some sprinkles. The power went out in our living quarters so I took the opportunity to get out and take some photos. To our surprise sky cleared up with only a slight breeze left. As I was taking pics there was a huge animal that ran by the dental clinic. It has been said that there are a pack of hyenas running around. I’ll keep an eye out.

FIGHT ON!

I forgot to post this video.

All along the way the USO was there to support the troops. Even here at the airport at 0500 people were lined up to greet us with a hand shake and thanks for our service.

I know the audio is choppy. I will try to fix it later. It's bed time!

TRAINING DAY

2008-03-11T12:38:00.001-07:00

In an attempt to get the team caught up on basic skills that we may use while we are out here we have had a number of training days. Here are of few pics of them. This one is to package a patient to prepare them to be transported on the helicopter.

CDR places a C-collar on a pt suspected of a spinal injury. Luckily I watch ER so I'm already up to speed. JK

HM3 Palacios and HM3 Miller practice placing the C-collar.

WE MISS YOU SARAH???

2008-03-11T12:15:00.001-07:00

So I got this letter from my niece and at first glance I read "We Miss You Sarah." I thought that postal employee Sandi mailed it to the wrong address. Then I realized that it was Sarah standing by the oak tree and that it WAS intended for me. Thanks Alyssa!

TECH SUPPORT

2008-03-11T12:03:00.000-07:00

In addition to my dental duties I am the tech support for our internet system. Thanks to the last group we have satellite internet. Luckily my job at Ambertek taught me how to install Cat-5 cable. I had to run some lines to other rooms.

2008-03-02T12:02:00.000-08:00

Here is a pic of the dental team we took over for. Later I will write more about life on Fallujah. It is late at night and some huge artillery rounds are going off. This is the first time. The building shook. Something must be happening outside the wire......

IED AWARENESS

2008-03-02T11:15:00.000-08:00

In addition to going to the range, we had a class on IED's. We learned the basic components and how to recognize them.

HOME ON THE RANGE

2008-03-02T11:14:00.000-08:00

Soon after we arrived we headed to the range to get some practice in.

WELCOME TO FALLUJAH

2008-03-02T11:13:00.000-08:00

After a convoy which seemed to take forever in the cold weather, this was the scene when we rolled up to the clinic. The old crew was cheering so loud. They were anxiously awaiting our arrival. They were more than happy to unload our bags and carry our things. The sooner we were settled the sooner they got to get out of here.

FINALLY IN IRAQ

2008-03-02T11:11:00.000-08:00

First sunset on Iraq soil.

We got to spend another few hours in these berthing spaces.

In TQ, Commander wanted a picture. I took a nice head shot with the sunset, but she was not happy. She wanted to show off her weapon.

Leaving the plane.

Unloading...

The plane was not the smoothest ride, but is was an experience. We actually made a stop in Al Asad to drop some people off.

Boarding the plane!

Finally the plane is in sight!

LEAVING KUWAIT.....NOT!.....OK LET'S GO!

2008-03-02T10:14:00.000-08:00

Finally on the way to the flightline!

Mount up we're heading out. As we got ready to go our person in charge came in and I could tell by the look on her face that the news was not good. She called out a list of names to come foward. Of course mine was one of them. She said that we were bumped from the flight because the Air Force had some of there own people that needed our seats. Needless to say we got to stay around for another 8 hours.

Another day of holding....

Rank has its privileges, just not my rank. I found out later that Commander had bedding, carpet, and a closet. I think I even saw a maid go in there in the AM.

Here is a pic of my room. The good news was we now had a mattress and not a cot. The even better news was that our bags were already on the palette and we would not have access to them. Perfect! The dentist was stuck without a toothbrush. Yes I got the top bunk! Not by choice. It left about 8 inches of space between my face and the tent.

Our plane was supposed to leave, then a sandstorm came and we were stuck. They kept telling us we'll try to fly later and later until eventually they had to provide a room for us since we could not go back to our last stop.

I got caught. I was listening to my Ipod with my neck gator pulled over my face to keep warm. The concrete was pretty hard and cold.

Much of the time was passed by catching up on some Z's.

Leaving Kuwait is the hurry up and wait game. We were moved into the holding tent where we were isolated while we waited for a plane.

BY AIR

We woke up to this flying over Iraq.

For those Moulin Rouge fans. I did not have a drink!

At each stop all of the phones were filled.

Over the Atlantic Ocean the pilot go ton the radio and made an announcement. He said "Um.....we have a problem. We were not able to fly high enough so we burned a lot of fuel. We are not going to have enough to reach our destination." After a long pause by the pilot and all the thoughts of plunging into the Atlantic like in Cast Away, he said we would be diverted to another airport.

A shot from the airport.

Our first stop in the states. I thought it would be nice to take a group picture at each of our stops, but you'll soon see how long that idea lasted.

ANTHRAX.....It burns!

2008-02-08T11:15:00.000-08:00

I got my second dose of Anthrax today. After about a minute it starts to burn for 5 minutes. For the next week your shoulder is sore with a knot in it. I get my third dose in two weeks. It takes six to complete the series. We'll See?

MATEX training was more for health care professionals in the field. Although not focused toward dentist's, we were able to learn a little about field medicine, and how patient care is managed.
