OdinYggd Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 We've been well behaved, though Odin! And it'll make for interesting read, if nothing else Woohoo, 200th page!That's the surprising part, I see no serious problems with today's activity. Pardon me if I'm being stupid here, but wouldn't it be preferable to be a non-combat medic?I would think that eventually you'd get tired of people making TF2 jokes about your choice of career. But really, combat medics have a lot of perks not found in other medical fields mainly related to the need to travel constantly to follow the frontlines.Sorry about what happened Trekkette. Hopefully things turn around soon. In the meantime, have a drink and have some fun, just take care not to overdo it and leave any lasting effects. Engineers are supposed to be Scottish. Nice try, though. Does Irish count? Also Scotty is more of a maintenance man than an engineer. Although in my line of work I am often expected to fix the mistakes other engineers made in designing things so that the resulting piece of equipment stays reliable and performing well. Just got done rewiring one of the machines at work, did the phasing checks on the motors this morning and ran the filter portion of it most of the day so it would settle down.Sci-fi nerds gotta sstick together, regardless of franchise.Also, given that JJ Abrams is directing the new Star Wars movie, and he's said in the past that all his movies take place in the same continuity, Star Trek and Star Wars will become related.A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...Which ultimately, because Star Trek never actually leaves the Milky Way Galaxy, they may very well be in the same universe and are just so distant being galaxies apart that they have never encountered each other until cameos happened.

Trekkette Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Funny story about the earlier situation- I had a prolonged Facebook conversation with him, and we clarified a few points. Basically, the relationship has not crashed, but is in a holding pattern until one of us is independent of respective parental units. So all is good and I am happy. EDITAnd there will be peace...Like I said, I find Star Trek confusing. Can you do a brief explanation? Or is it really that complicated?Umm... what's confusing about it? I can answer questions, but trying to explain it's 54 year history takes... time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satcharna Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I was thinking more about how a combat medic would actually have combat training as well. They expect you to shoot people, and I thought that went against the medical oath. Scotty is actually an engineer, at least by sci-fi standards. Doubt a mere maintenance man could reverse the polarity of the flux capacitors to accomplish whatever needs to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The episode I most remember confused me the most:Some guy messes up really bad and dies. God appears and sends him back in time to give him a second chance, a la Groundhog Day. He still screws up, and God isn't as forgiving this time. I stopped watching around here. Do you know which episode I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I was thinking more about how a combat medic would actually have combat training as well. They expect you to shoot people, and I thought that went against the medical oath. No, combat medics are still just medics, except deployed into combat situations. We would be given rifles, but only for self-defense in very dire situations. Anyway, all medics, including combat deployed, are protected under chapter 4, article 25 of the Geneva Convention. Provided we're doing our duty, we can't be shot.Sadly, insurgents don't often respect the Geneva convention, making us just as much a target.

satcharna Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Honestly, I'd be more worried over the murricans and NATO conscripts you'd be with than those poor insurgents. They're the worst in the world at following things like the Geneva convention. I'll just sit here and desperately hope you get out of that occupation alive.
