    Staff Sgt. James A. Finegan, a radio chief for Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and native of Philadelphia, PA, has a nasophryngeal airway (a plastic tube that allows breathing if oral breathing is unattainable) inserted into his nostril during the practical application portion of a combat lifesaver course in the well deck here, July 4. Marines and Sailors with the 31st MEU and crew of the USS Germantown completed a three-day intermediate medical course that taught them a range of field medicine skills from splinting an arm fracture to applying a tourniquet to an arterial bleed. The 31st MEU is currently deployed on the three ships of Amphibious Squadron 11 in support of a regularly scheduled patrol of the Asia Pacific region.
