Before You Hold a Leadership School,
whether it be a Junior or Senior Leadership School,
YOU MUST Request
"ACCREDITATION FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS"
from Young Marine National Headquarters Training Department.
If you do not request and receive Accreditation from National
Headquarters, then you have WASTED YOUR YOUNG MARINE'S
TIME AND MONEY as their participation in your leadership school will not
be recognized and they may not participate in higher level schools, and,
once National Headquarters updates their Data Base procedures, your
Young Marine's promotion may not be allowed.
You must submit the following to National Headquarters:
i. Notice of Intent to Seek Accreditation.
ii. Dates of the school.
iii. Training Plan.
iv. Proposed Training Schedule.
v. Outline of the training area (barracks, chow hall, classrooms, etc.).
vi. Proposed adult staff.
vii. Proposed YM staff (YM GySgt or above & ALS graduate of the
National School only).
viii If running a Senior Leadership School, a request for a 7 Habits
Facilitator is required.
ix. Planned student attendance.
And as of 2007, you must have someone who
has been through the Certification School for
Registered Adults held at the same time as
the National Leadership Schools.
Go To Chapter 7, Leadership Schools SOP,
Training Officer's Manual for examples and
additional requirements.

Basic First Aid
Terminal Learning Objectives:

(2) Be able to take the appropriate action for each life saving step.
Enabling Learning Objectives:
(1) Without the use of your guidebook, be able to effectively recite before life saving steps.
(2) Without the use of your guidebook, be able to take the appropriate action for each life
saving step.
OUTLINE: First of, handling or contact with bodily and fluids, such as blood, may be
hazardous to your help. We are only going to give the basics for the most common
emergencies. You should call your local office of the American Red Cross and arrange to
take their First-Aid and CPR classes. You never know when a disaster or injury will occur.
For your own good and the well good of those around you, it is highly recommended you take
certified training in first-aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The information given below
is only a small portion of which is learned in these classes. It gives the highlights, but in no
way replaces Hands-on training.
1. Definition Of First Aid: First aid is defined as immediate care given to affect them until
Emergency Medical Services can be obtained.
a. Legally, you must be given permission by the victim before you began to help.
b. Inform the victim if you have been Red Cross trained.
c. If the victim is unconscious, consent is implied.
d. If the victims a child or disturbed trying to get consent from parent or guardian.
e. "Good Samaritan" laws give legal protection to individuals who acted in good faith
and not guilty of willful misconduct or gross negligence.
2. Emergency Action Principles:
a. The American Red Cross lists for life-saving steps. These are:
1) Restore breathing.
2) Stop of the bleeding.
3) Prevent shock.
4) Protect of the wound.
b. The American Red Cross also lists four (4) Emergency Action Principles:
1) Survey of the scene;
2) Do a preliminary survey of the victim;
3) Notify / phone the emergency medical service (EMS) system for help;
4) Do a secondary survey of the victim.
c. Survey of the scene:
1) Make sure to save for you to attempt first-aid.
2) Determined what happened and to whom.
3) Do not be misled by the site of blood or the sound of loud screaming.
4) See if there are others in the area who can help you.
d. Preliminary survey: Check the ABCs. These are:
1) (A) Airway:
a) Does the victim haven't opened airway?
b) First shout to the patient and, if necessary, shake lightly on the
shoulder to determine consciousness.
c) Call for help.
d) Do the "Head Tilt / Chin Lift" to open the airway.
e) Tilt of the head back to lift up on the Chin.
f) If the victim is unconscious, this will ensure that tongue will fall away
from the back of the throat and opened the airway.
2) (B) Breathing-Look, listen and feel for air coming out.
a) Look for the chest to rise and fall.
b) Put your ear by the nose and mouth and listen for air.
c) See if you feel air exhaled on your cheek.
d) Put your hand lightly on the chest to feel the chest move.
e) If the person is not breathing, get into photographs of your air before
continuing with step C.
3) (C) Circulation-Is there a heart beat?
a) Check the carotid pulse on the side of the neck closest to you.
b) If there is bleeding that spurts with each heart beat, it is arterial
bleeding and must be controlled immediately.
c) If there is no pulse, began to administer CPR as your American Red
Cross or American Heart Association taught you.
d) Victims who have CPR before getting to a hospital have much
greater odds for surviving.
e. Phone EMS (911):
1) Always check the ABCs before beginning first-aid.
2) Have a bystander phone EMS with the results of your ABC test.
3) If no one is available, give one minute of urgent first aid (breathing or CPR)
as required before phoning EMS.
f. Secondary survey:
1) Check the victim in an orderly manner for injuries.
2) Interview bystanders and if possible the victim to gain additional
information.
3) Check the vital signs, i.e., rate of breathing, pulse, and skin appearance.
4) Carefully check the victim from head to toe.
3. Some First Aid Procedures:
a. Rescue breathing:
1) There are several causes of breathing problems.
2) Some are caused by drugs, respiratory system blockage, drowning, shock,
electrocution, injury, and insect bites.
3) Check the ABCs to determine if a victim requires artificial respiration
(rescue breathing).
4) If the victim has a pulse but is not breathing, began rescue breathing.
5) Open the airway with the head-tilt / Chin-lift.
6) Pinch the nose and give one breath every five seconds.
7) Each breath should last 1 to 2 1/2 seconds.
8) Check to ensure the chest is rising and falling.
9) If it is not, there may be a blockage or you may not beginning a tight seal
over the victim's mouth.
10) After one minute, 12 breaths, check the pulse to ensure the victim has not
gone into cardiac arrest.
11) In the event of cardiac arrest, C. P. R. will be required.
12) Continue giving rescue breathing until help arrives or you are too exhausted
to continue.
13) Avoid getting air into the victim's stomach.
14) This is called gastric distention and can cause the victim to vomit.
15) It is caused by giving breaths to quickly, or continuing to give air after the
chest has risen.
16) Another cause is not tilting the victim's head back far enough.
17) The vomit may into the lungs which could lead to death.
18) If a victim vomits, turn their head and body to one side, wipe out their mouth
and continue with rescue breathing.
b. Choking:
1) The universal distress signal for choking is the victim clutching at his throat
with one or both hands.
2) Choking is caused by an airway obstruction.
3) The victim may stop breathing and loose consciousness.
4) If there is a partial obstruction, you can hear air coming out, leave the victim
alone.
5) If there is total blockage, and the victim is unconscious, immediately try to
clear the airway by performing abdominal thrusts.
6) If the victim is unconscious, when performing the ABCs, repeat the opening
of the airway by head-tilt / chin-left.
7) After activating EMS, perform 6 to 10 abdominal thrusts, do a finger sweep,
and give two full breaths.
8) Repeat the thrusts, sweeps and breaths until the obstruction is cleared or help
arrives.
c. Abdominal thrusts:
1) For someone conscious this is done by standing behind the victim.
a) Wrap your arms around the waist.
b) Make a fist with one hand and place thumb side of the fist against the
middle of the victim's abdomen just above the naval and well below
the lower tip of the breast bone.
c) Grasp the fist with your other hand.
d) Keeping elbows out, pressure fist into the victim's abdomen with
quick upward thrusts.
e) Keep the thrusts separate and distinct to dislodge the blockage.
2) For someone unconscious, abdominal thrusts are done by straddling the
thighs.
a) Put the heel of one of your hands against middle of the victim's
abdomen, just above the naval and well below the tip of the breast
bone.
b) Place your other hand on the first hand with fingers pointing to the
head and press into the abdomen 6 to 10 times with quick upward
thrusts.
c) Again, the thrusts should be separate and distinct to dislodge the
blockage.
3) If a victim loses consciousness, call for help and lower the victim carefully
to the floor.
a) Repeat the thrusts, sweeps and breath cycles as described above until
the blockage is cleared or EMS has arrived.
4) If you are alone and choking, you can do abdominal thrusts on yourself.
a) Make a fist with one hand, placing the thumb side on the middle of
the abdomen, slightly above the naval and well below the tip of your
breastbone.
b) Grasp your fist with the other hand and give yourself a quick upward
thrust.
c) You can also lean over a chair, present your abdomen over its back.
(1) A sink or railing can also be used.
d) You need to dislodge the blockage.
d. Bleeding:
1) In First Aid, you want to stop bleeding, prevent infection, and prevent shock.
2) Loss of too much blood can cause death.
3) To control bleeding:
a) Apply pressure.
b) Elevate the injury, if possible.
c) Apply pressure at the pressure points.
d) Pressure bandage.
e. Infection:
1) Infection can develop within hours or days of an injury.
2) Watch for pain or tenderness of the wound, redness, heat or swelling, pus
below the skin or in the wound, red streaks leading from the wound, and
swollen lymph glands closest to the bone.
3) The victim can also feel ill.
f. To control bleeding:
1) Place a dressing over the wound.
2) If the wound is large, multiple dressings may be needed.
3) Apply direct pressure over the wound area to stop bleeding.
4) Do not remove the dressing once you have put it on.
5) The less you disturb the wound the better the chances are to control the
bleeding.
6) If an arm or leg is cut, raise the limb above the level of the heart so blood
flow into it will slow.
7) If the limb is broken, do not move or raise the limb.
8) Moving it will make it worse and may cause shock or severe pain.
9) If the cut still bleeds under pressure and with elevation, apply pressure to the
pressure point.
10) The final step to control bleeding is a pressure bandage.
11) This bandage holds the dressing in place, restrains movement and helps stop
bleeding.
12) Take the pulse and examine the fingertips or bones to ensure the bandage is
not to tight and cut off circulation.
13) If it is too tight. The pulse rate may be slowed or absent and the fingertips
or bones may look bluish.
14) Internal bleeding can range from bruises to serious bleeding, causing shock,
heart or lung failure.
15) The signs and symptoms of internal bleeding are:
a) Bruised, swollen, tender, or rigid abdomen.
b) Bruises on chest or signs of fractured ribs.
c) Blood in vomit.
d) Wounds that have penetrated the chest or abdomen.
e) Bleeding from the rectum or vagina.
f) Fractures of the pelvis.
g) Abnormal pulse and difficult breathing.
h) Cool, moist skin.
16) If it is a simple bruise, apply a cold pack to prevent tissue from swelling
and to slow and internal bleeding.
g. Care of feet:
1) Your feet are very important.
2) You are on them most of the time you are awake.
3) Keep your feet clean.
4) Always tried to feet after watching.
5) Take extra care to dry between the toes.

9) When going on hikes, wear two pair of socks to help insulate your feet.
10) If you get a blister, have trained medical personnel treat it.
h. Heart Attack:
1) A heart attack happens when the blood to the heart becomes blocked.
2) Restricting the blood flow, blood cannot get through to feed the effected
part of the heart and cells begin to die.
3) If a large enough portion of the heart is not getting blood, the heart may not
be able to pump at all, causing cardiac arrest.
4) For cardiac arrest, CPR is required immediately.
5) It is important for you to be able to recognize a heart attack victim.
6) The most significant sign of a heart attack is chest discomfort or pain.
7) Other symptoms are nausea, sweating, weakness, and shortness of breath.
8) If the symptoms are detected or suspected, notify EMS.
9) Remember - heart attacks can occur at any age!
10) First aid for the heart attack victim:
a) Recognize the symptoms and take prompt action.
b) Have the victim stop all activity and sit or lie down in a comfortable
position.
c) Loosen restrictive clothing.
d) Have some of the yourself notify EMS.
e) Find out their name, age, known medical problems, and more
information concerning their symptoms.
11) If you suspect cardiac arrest and are trained, to be prepared to give CPR.
12) If needed, CPR will provide the body with oxygen and keep the blood
circulating.
i. Heat cramps:
1) The victim will be thirsty.
2) Cramps usually come in leg muscles or stomach.
3) The muscles are very sore and exhibit spasms.
4) The victim may also have signs of heat exhaustion.
5) First aid is the same as for heat exhaustion.
6) Move the patient to cool or shady areas or improvised shade.
7) Give the patient water.
8) Hand pressure applied to the cramps will often relieve the pain.
j. Heat exhaustion:
1) The cost is usually working are playing in a warm, humid environment.
2) Due to the heavy sweating, the loss in body fluids causes blood flow to
decrease in vital organs, resulting in a form of shock.
3) Due to humidity or clothing, sweat does not evaporate as it normally would
to cool the body.
4) Symptoms to look for are pale face, skin moist and cool, heavy sweating,
weakness, headache, dizziness, heat cramps, nausea, urge to defecate, chills,
rapid breathing, tingling of the feet or hands, confusion.
a) Patients often faint to recover in a few minutes.
b) Move of the victim out of the heat.
c) Treat for shock, elevate the legs.
d) Cool the victim off by fanning or cold applications.
e) If the victim is conscious, get the victim water, 1/2 glass every 15
minutes.
f) The victim should show improvement within 30 minutes.
k. Heat stroke:
1) The cause is exposure to heat, usually the sun's rays.
2) The symptoms are headache, red face, skin dry and hot, no sweating, pulse
and breathing weak and rapid, very high temperature, nausea (stomach
cramps), confusion, weakness, seizures, and the victim may be unconscious.
3) If the victim has been working or playing hard, there maybe some moisture
on the skin from sweat.
4) Call EMS immediately.
5) For treatment, quickly apply cold applications, pour water on casualty or a
cold bath.
6) Get the victim out of the heat as fast as possible.
7) If conscious, have victim slowly drink at least two pints of water.
8) The victim's temperature-control system has stopped functioning and sweat,
which cools the body down, is not been produced.
9) You must take over that function.
10) If no water is available for bathing, fan of the victim.
11) You must cool the body down quickly or brain-damaged and/or death may
result.
l. Hypothermia:
1) The signs and symptoms of hypothermia are shivering, dizziness, numbness,
confusion, weakness, impaired judgment, impaired vision and drowsiness.
2) Get to the victim out of the cold.
3) Warm the body slowly.
m. Nose Bleeds:
1) Nose bleeds can be caused by injury to the head, neck or back, high blood
pressure, heavy exercise, colds and changing altitude.
2) If the blood loss is great enough, shock can occur.
3) If there is any possibility of the head, neck and or back injury, do not
administer first aid for the nose bleed.
4) If there is no possibility of head, neck or back injury, control the bleeding.
a) Have the victim set down, lean forward and pinch the nose shut.
b) Once it clots, have the victim remain still since activity can disturb
the clot, causing more bleeding.
5) Do not tilt of the head back since blood to drain into the stomach, causing
nausea and possible vomiting.
Conclusion
During this class we talked about the Basic First Aid steps and the Four Life Saving steps,
One-Restore Breathing, Two-Stop the Bleeding, Three-Prevent Shock, Four-Protect the
Wound. You may be evaluated on this class both on a written exam and in your performance
during this school. It is up to you to use the information taught in this class to make not
only yourself better but your unit as a whole better.

corrections and explain what it means.
(2) Without the use of your guidebook, be able to recite the Young Marine Hymn with no
corrections and explain what it means.
OUTLINE:
1. Young Marine Creed
(1) Obey my parents and all others in charge me whether young or old.
(2) Keep myself neat at all times without other people telling me to.
(3) Keep myself clean in mind by attending the church of my faith.
(4) Keep my mind alert to learn in school, at home or at play.
(5) Remember having self-discipline will enable me to control my body and mind
in case of an emergency.
a. First article of the Creed states you should obey your parents and all others in
charge of you, such as your brothers, sisters, teachers, police and other adults.
By doing so, you easily learned earned their respect and confidence.
b. Second article tells you to keep yourself neat at all times without other people
telling you to do so. This will make sure that you are presentable and prepared
to meet anyone at a moment's notice.
c. Third article tells you to keep yourself clean in mind by attending the church of
your faith. Many of the early settlers of America came here Sunday to practice
the religion freely. You should show respect for all Young Marines in the
practice of their religion.
d. Fourth article states to keep your mind alert in school, at home or at play. The
best ticket to a successful life is a good education. It cannot be stressed enough
for all Young Marines to get as good an education as possible. Learning, can
take many forms - cleaning, cooking, organizing your room, home maintenance,
auto mechanics, gardening, recycling, lawn maintenance, budgeting, checkbook
/ savings account, and many more areas. You should take advantage of the
abilities and talents of your family and friends to learn life skills. It is also
important to keep alert at play. If someone gets hurt and you are alert enough to
notice, you'll be able to apply first-aid or better yet, if you are alert you may be
able to prevent someone from getting hurt.
e. Fifth article of the Creed states that remembering to have discipline will allow
you to control your body and mind in case of an emergency. Most of you have
been through emergency drills at school to practice what to do in case of a fire,
earthquake, tornado, hurricane or other disaster, depending upon where you live.

that calm when a real emergency happens, you'll be a great help to yourself and
those around you.

We will be the finest Young Marines
No matter what it takes.
Let the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts march;
Let the Cub Scouts strut and beam
Oh, you haven't seen the greatest yet
Till you've seen at the Young Marines.
We salute to sailor boys in blue
And the Army in their greens.
We are proud to bear the title of
The U.S. Young Marines.
