Subject: RE: BS: Anybody else watching Ebola break out?
Well, the USA has boots on the ground in Liberia. The president has authorized call up of any needed reservists. I don't know how the army works in these situations. If they search by unit, my son's group is not appropriate - they're basically oriented to treat casualties of war with high-tech equipment (x-rays, operating rooms, ventilators, etc.) If they evaluate personnel individually for their skills my son, as an infrastructure technician, would be of more use. I'm scared. He's doing his monthly reserve thing as we speak, so there may be more news soon.
