The Dr Team Part II: The General/Trauma Surgeons

Ok so this is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the team...just kidding..had to say that since I fall into this group.  We have usually 5 general/trauma surgeons as part of the group and it seems to work fairly well with that number.  Arranged in teams of 2, with the first time taking primary casualties and if more than one it goes to team two.  Currently we have 6 general surgeons getting one from the US marine side of things.  The Brit surgeon is usually here for 7-8 weeks then rotates out.  Navy surgeons are here for 6-7 months (yes our det has the honor of the 7 month rotation)
Pic is of surgeons at start of my stay. The 3 Gibleteers as we are know in the Army uniforms on the outside. The OIC of the Navy det, and one of the Marine surgeons on "loan" to Bastion. Brit is second from left.
