Any ex military here?
Civilianfag fitness question: let's say you're out in combat and you get sick, i.e. fevers/chills etc., but because you're out in combat fending for your life you can't just take a day off to recover.
What do you do? Did you do like, electrolyte packs and amphetamines?
What'd you do when you had absolutely no choice but to perform?

This isn't WWI. If it's bad enough, you get sent to your quarters to rest it out. If it's mild, you get a little antibiotics and hope you get over it quick.

I guess what I'm saying is, what if it was like WWI? what do?
>>42498126
kill the red baron

In that case, you either survive it or die, I think. And in the meantime be incredibly miserable while also being shot at.

well, Let's asume that drugs like amphetamines are not available, and in that case you would have to scratch your ass three times with a crocked rasberri stick. this will temporarely remove all illness.
Ranger dip baby.
In the MREs there is a small pouch of instant coffee, tastes like shit but if you put that shit in your gumline it will keep you going for a few more hours.

navy vet here
i never got sick but one summer i went home on leave to see my folks
me and my dad go to this river to do snorkeling to find cool shit in the river. forgot sunscreen but figured we only be out there for 30-45 min max
hour and a half later i have a sever sunburn
2nd degree on my entire back, shoulders and chest.
i had to take hide it because it was soo bad that i prob would have had to go to the hospital with the blisters being the size of grape fruit which led to scabbing but with the layers of skin coming off they kept opening up. worst sunburn ive ever had. god the liquid that drained from the blisters could only be described as popcorn butter you see at the movies. anyway if you end up hurting yourself so bad that you have to go to the hospital and it's not the military's fault and could have been easily avoided, you'd get court marshaled. so over the course of a month i took the strongest pain killers i could, went through a whole bottle of allow verra, and went back to work.

What if it's an accident like a car crash that wasn't your fault?
>>42501002
if it could be proven with eye witness testimony, video or seen as an act of nature like a tree falling in your way then by all means the military will have your back.
Got pneumonia from the pneumonia vaccine in boot camp, got sucrets and rack time.

Also had a guy in prototype that broke his wrist on a motorcycle he didn't have training to drive, instead of taking the hit he fell down some stairs and then blamed it on that.

that's when I break out the secret weapon (pic related)
