We hear about his care from the point of injury through evacuation to treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation, and how this experience led him to pursue a career in medicine and impacted his perspective and caring for Wounded Warriors. We also discuss how his journey to joining the Army and how the world changed after 9-11 impacted his career.   (0:03:57) - Military Health Care and Deployment Injuries (8 Minutes) Dr. Labra's experience with the Military began at West Point and continued on active duty. He was assigned to a Field Artillery battalion in Baumholder, Germany, and later deployed to Iraq in 2003. He shares the story of his injury while on the deployment and the circumstances that led up to it.   (0:11:33) - War Zone Evacuation and Medical Care (8 Minutes) Dr. Labra's experience with the Military Health System as a patient is discussed. From the initial diagnosis by a medic in the field to the care he received at the Baghdad ER, the unique circumstances of his evacuation and treatment are explored. The challenges of being a patient in a war zone and the impact of the lack of pain medication and medical records are discussed. The effects of his injuries, the measures taken to treat them, and the care he received in the operating room are also discussed.   (0:19:19) - Injury Treatment and Recovery Experience (11 Minutes) Chris shares his experience with the Military Health System as a patient. He begins with his care in Baghdad and the surgeries he had in Germany.

He felt so indebted to the Military Health System and wanted to follow in the footsteps of his mentors to pursue a career in medicine.   (0:36:41) - Career in Military Medicine (12 Minutes) We discuss how Dr. Labra's injury led him to pursue family medicine over orthopedic surgery or urology and the advantages of being a primary care physician when it comes to providing continuity of care and advocating for patients. He shares his perspective on PTSD, the hospital system, and how being a patient gave him a level of skepticism and protection from falling into medical traps. Finally, we discuss his assignment at Landstuhl and how it gave him a chance to take care of evacuations from the theaters of war.   Episode Keywords: Military Healthcare, Patient Advocacy, Injury Treatment, Recovery Experience, Evacuation, Wounded Warrior, War Zone, Medical Care, Primary Care Physicians, Continuity of Care, PTSD, Hospital System, Combat Experience, Deployment Injuries, West Point, Baghdad ER, Landstuhl, Orthopedic Surgery, Urology Hashtags: #wardocs #military #medicine #podcast #MilitaryHealthcare #WarZoneMedicine #PatientAdvocacy #ContinuityOfCare #InspiringJourney #HealingWarriors #PhysicianPerspective #FromInjuredToHealer #WoundedWarrior   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine   The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

My name is Maria. I was born in the Philippines but moved away when I was around 7 or 8 years old. My dad was in the US Army, so we moved to Baumholder, Germany for a few years then to Fort Hood, Texas. He was discharged due to health reasons which led us to Indianapolis, Indiana in 2000. That's where I pretty much grew up. I would consider Indianapolis my “hometown” since that's where I spent a lot of my childhood. Maria is a blogger, lifestyle influencer, photographer, and content creator! Featuring special guest Maria Shelton Hosted by Maya Cabrera and Naomi Porter

It's December of 1990. The United States is defending our interests in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. An espionage investigation is opened against Specialist 4 Albert T. Sombolay, a soldier stationed in Baumholder, Germany. Sombolay sold national defense information to the Jordanians and attempted to contact Iraqi government officials to volunteer as a spy on multiple occasions. During the sting, Sombolay told the UCO, whom he readily accepted as a Jordanian intelligence officer, that what he was doing was a “dangerous thing, very dangerous.” Sombolay continued that if “they catch me, I’m good for that day. It’s treason. It’s treason. They trusted me.” Sombolay pled guilty to aiding the enemy along with the two counts of espionage and two attempted acts of espionage.  

Jeffrey D. Noble, 74, of Dublin flew an Army helicopter gunship during the Vietnam War with Company B, 9th Aviation Battalion, 9th Infantry Division, and went on to have a 25-year career in the Army. “I wouldn’t trade one day of the 25 years for anything in the world,” he said. After graduating from high school in Florida in the early 1960s and taking courses at the College of Wooster, Noble tried to join the Navy as an aviator. He was told if he wanted to be a pilot, he had to get a college degree first. After a brief return to college and getting a private pilot’s license, he joined the Army in 1966 and became a helicopter pilot. In 1968, he was flying a UH-1 Huey helicopter gunship in South Vietnam, based at Bear Cat and Dong Tam. “Getting shot (at), first time, always exciting,” Noble said. “You look down; you see a little green dot. By the time that baby gets close to your helicopter, it’s about the size of a medicine ball.” Unlike the two-man AH-1 Cobra gunships that came into widespread use later, the UH-1 had a four-man crew. The extra eyes on board, he said, were handy in spotting enemy fire from the ground. Noble’s missions during the war included locating and targeting sites that were sending mortar or rocket fire toward U.S. or allied ground troops or bases. Other missions included supporting U.S. boats working to stop communist supplies moving in rivers and canals. Communist troops were adept at avoiding trouble, he said. They could sink their boats intentionally, hide on shore and raise the boat after the coast had cleared. River operations might involve Navy boats, Air Force planes and Army helicopters and artillery, Noble said, thereby creating challenges in coordinating the different elements. Because the Army and Navy used different radio systems, Army soldiers would ride the boats to communicate with helicopters and artillery, he said. During one engagement, he asked a soldier on a boat if he had called for other support. Apparently reluctant to see the gunship leave, the soldier said no. Then U.S. artillery began to land nearby, unexpected by Noble and his crew. The soldier on the boat knew about the artillery “but wasn’t telling us,” Noble recalled with a laugh. Noble returned to the scene when artillery subsided, asking the soldier if any other support had been called. Again the soldier said no, just before a B-57 Canberra bomber arrived carrying what Noble called “the biggest bomb I’ve ever seen.” Noble’s unit operated in the southern part of the country, where the enemy was the Viet Cong (local guerrilla fighters), while the North Vietnamese Army was more active in the north. That was the situation until the Tet Offensive broke out in January 1968, when the communists launched surprise attacks against towns and bases all across South Vietnam. An immediate effect for Noble was that he was operating in urban areas for the first time. Cho Lon, an area of the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon, was a hotbed of combat with “Viet Cong all over the place.” Noble’s helicopter flew missions in Cho Lon for two weeks. About 80 percent of Noble’s missions were flown at night. In a Third World country like South Vietnam at the time, there is no ambient light at night in rural areas, he said. It was “a big black field out there.” By abandoning hit-and-run tactics used earlier, communist forces were overwhelmed during Tet by the Americans and South Vietnamese, along with allies from Australia and Thailand. “We won Tet,” Noble said. “There were no more North Vietnamese soldiers in South Vietnam after Tet, nor were there any Viet Cong. They were literally decimated.” North Vietnamese literature admitted, he said, “militarily, they had no ability to respond anymore.” American troops at the time believed putting military pressure on North Vietnam after the Tet Offensive could have forced the communists into talks to end the war. It was not until he had returned to the United States, Noble said, that he learned the American public saw the Tet Offensive as a failure of U.S. policy, increasing erosion of public support. Depleted Viet Cong forces eventually would be replaced by the North Vietnamese Army. Toward the end of his tour, Noble said, the NVA attacked the base where he was stationed. A year earlier, he said, the enemy would have been “nothing but Viet Cong.” When his time in Vietnam ended, Noble said, “they told you, when you got to the states, take your uniform off (because of growing public opposition to the military). Which we did.” Back in the United States, Noble completed his college education and served at locations that include Fort Benning, Fort Knox and Fort Hood. He also was stationed at Baumholder in then-West Germany and at Fort Buchanan in Puerto Rico. He performed a variety of duties, including leading an armored unit and working as an inspector general and in military finance. Noble worked for Huntington Bank for 15 years after leaving the Army. He serves on the Franklin County Veterans Service Commission and is active in several veterans organizations. At the veterans service commission, “we see the issues every week,” he said of former military personnel readjusting to civilian life. “When they get out of the service, if you can get them into a career or a job that they enjoy and are interested in and give them enough money to live on,” he said, “you’ve got a good answer.” Noble’s decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal (10th award), Army Commendation Medal (three oak leaf clusters), Joint Service Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal (4 bronze stars), Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with Palm, Overseas Service Bars (two), Army Service Ribbon and Overseas Service Ribbon (two). He and his wife, Jane, have been married 47 years. They have two sons, Dr. Gregory Noble and Kevin Noble, and 10 grandchildren.

Mit starkem Rückenwind reist das Toyota GAZOO Racing World Rally Team zur Rallye Deutschland (16. bis 19. August 2018): Nach dem Heimsieg in Finnland geht das Motorsport-Team zuversichtlich in den neunten Lauf der diesjährigen Rallye-Weltmeisterschaft (WRC).   Die Rallye Deutschland ist einer der anspruchsvollsten Asphalt-Wettbewerbe im Kalender, auf die Teams warten quasi drei Rennen in einem: Es geht durch die kurvigen Weinberge entlang der Mosel bei Trier, über Militärgelände und schnelle Landstraßen. Die unterschiedlichen Straßenbedingungen und das oft wechselhafte Wetter machen die Fahrzeugabstimmung und Reifenwahl schwierig. Start und Ziel ist in diesem Jahr St. Wendel: Zur Eröffnung findet eine Super Special Stage in der Kreisstadt im Nordosten des Saarlands statt. Am Freitag stehen zwei Prüfungen in den Weinbergen auf dem Programm, die von einer Zuschaueretappe auf dem Weg zurück zum Service-Park abgerundet werden – nachmittags werden alle drei Teilabschnitte nochmals wiederholt. Samstags geht es auf den Truppenübungsplatz Baumholder und die berüchtigte Panzerplatte, bevor die Route über die schnellen Landstraßen des Saarlands führt. Das Finale sieht eine Rückkehr in die Weinberge und die abschließende Bosenberg Power Stage vor den Toren St. Wendels vor. In der Weltmeisterschaft liegen Fahrer und Team weiter in Schlagdistanz zur Spitze: Das Toyota GAZOO Racing World Rally Team rangiert nur noch einen Punkt hinter dem Zweitplatzierten – selbst auf die Spitzenposition fehlen gerade einmal 27 Punkte.     Foto: DEKRA e.V.   2. Autofahrer müssen sich zunehmend auf extreme Wetterlagen einstellen. Wer nicht aufpasst, kann schnell in hochgefährliche Situationen geraten, warnen die Sachverständigen von DEKRA. Sie empfehlen, Unwetterwarnungen ernst zu nehmen und Fahrten notfalls zu verschieben, bis das Schlimmste vorüber ist.     Wer unterwegs von Sturm und Starkregen überrascht wird, tut gut daran, einen geschützten Platz aufzusuchen und abzuwarten, bis die Wetterfront weitergezogen ist. In der Regel ist es bei Extremwetter besser, im Auto zu bleiben, denn Personen sind hier besser vor Regen, Sturm, Hagel und Blitz geschützt als im Freien. Allerdings sollte man die direkte Nähe von Bäumen meiden, die abknicken und aufs Auto fallen können. In der Nähe von Häusern ist mit herabfallenden Dachziegeln, hochgewirbelten Gegenständen oder abgerissenen Ästen zu rechnen.  Bei Starkregen ist es ratsam, eine etwas höher gelegene Stelle aufzusuchen, die vor Überflutung geschützt ist. Wer an einem abschüssigen Weg Schutz sucht, muss darauf achten, ob dieser sich bei starken Niederschlägen nicht womöglich in einen reißenden Sturzbach verwandelt.  Keinesfalls sollte man bei Starkregen in Unterführungen einzufahren.

Dahmer committed his first murder in the summer of 1978 at the age of 18, just three weeks after his graduation. At the time, he was living alone in the family home. Owing to his recent divorce from Dahmer's mother, Dahmer's father temporarily lived in a nearby motel and his mother had relocated to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, with his younger brother. On June 18, Dahmer picked up an 18-year-old hitchhiker named Steven Mark Hicks. Dahmer lured the youth to his house on the pretext of the two young men drinking alcohol together. Hicks, who had been hitchhiking to a rock concert in Lockwood Corners, agreed to accompany Dahmer to his house. According to Dahmer, after several hours' drinking and listening to music, Hicks "wanted to leave and [I] didn't want him to." In response, Dahmer bludgeoned him with a 10 lb. dumbbell. Dahmer later stated he struck Hicks twice from behind with the dumbbell as Hicks sat upon a chair. When Hicks fell unconscious, Dahmer strangled him to death with the bar of the dumbbell, then stripped the clothes from Hicks' body before masturbating as he stood above the corpse. The following day, Dahmer dissected Hicks' body in his crawl space; he later buried the remains in a shallow grave in his backyard before, several weeks later, unearthing the remains and paring the flesh from the bones. He dissolved the flesh in acid before flushing the solution down the toilet; he crushed the bones with a sledgehammer and scattered them in the woodland behind the family home. Six weeks after the murder of Hicks, Dahmer's father and his fiancée returned to his home where they discovered Jeffrey living alone at the house. That August, Dahmer enrolled at Ohio State University, hoping to major in business.[53] Dahmer's sole term at Ohio State University was completely unproductive, largely because of his persistent alcohol abuse throughout the majority of the term. On one occasion, Lionel Dahmer paid a surprise visit to his son, only to find his room strewn with empty liquor bottles. Despite his father having paid in advance for the second term, Dahmer dropped out of university after just three months. In January 1979, on his father's urging, Dahmer enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he trained as a medical specialist at Fort Sam Houston before July 13, 1979, when he was stationed in Baumholder, West Germany, where he served as a combat medic in 2nd Battalion, 68th Armored Regiment, 8th Infantry Division. According to published reports, in Dahmer's first year of service, he was an "average or slightly above average" soldier. Two soldiers attest to having been raped by Dahmer while in the army; one of whom stated in 2010 that while stationed at Baumholder, Dahmer had repeatedly raped him over a 17-month period, while another soldier believes he was drugged, then raped by Dahmer inside an armored personnel carrier in 1979.Owing to Dahmer's alcohol abuse, his performance deteriorated and, in March 1981, he was deemed unsuitable for military service and was later discharged from the Army. He received an honorable discharge, as his superiors did not believe that any problems Dahmer had in the Army would be applicable to civilian life.

About bands of brothers who exhibited unparalleled bravery, solidarity and endurance on the battlefield to come out on top in a fight against impossible odds. This is a true Story that's told by a veterans who survived to tell about it. Captain Perfecto Sanchez, US Army A Bronze Star recipient was born and raised in NYC; raised by both his grandmother and mom and the eclectic 8M neighbors in the city. His mom was a teacher and his grandmother a pianist so he grew up with a inquisitive and creative curiosity for life. The military was never in the cards for him until he met Jack Dammon, his track coach, a man he very much respected. His opinion was that Perfecto had potential but lacked discipline. He thought obstacle courses sounded cool so he opened up the West Point brochure that Jack gave him. He met the best of friends at West Point- friends he still is very close with to this day. The world was much simpler then, before 9-11 that is. It wasn't until his 3rd year when he had to choose his brand that it really hit him that he could potentially be going to war. He blames his curious personality that led him to infantry- and the fact that if he was going to do something he wanted to do, he wanted to do it with his utmost ability; and of course that his best friend was doing it with him. He reported to Ft Benning in June 2005- after a few nights out in the woods and a couple jumps out of an airplane about a year later he was reporting to his first duty station in Baumholder, Germany. His unit was already deployed and he was scheduled to fly out less than 2 weeks from getting there and he couldn't wait.
