DTC PHILIP 0. WALTERS
(lST DENTAL BATTALION)
LCPO, NURSING SERVICES, LIMA SURGICAL SUPPORT COMPANY
Dental Technicians assigned to Lima Company, lot Medical
Battalion, perform their assigned duties in a truly professional
and dedicated manner. As a result of their enthusiasm and hard
work, much has been accomplished in their dual role as Ward
Corpsman and Dental Technicians. More often than not, the Dental
Techs are the first to volunteer and have outperformed their
counterparts in virtually every aspect of their duties. Working
extremely well together, they were the backbone of every working
party involved with the construction and outfitting of this
forward 12 OR/4 Ward field hospital. Prior to the move to Al
Khanjar, Dental Technicians participated in the construction,
outfitting, and manning of the ise bed hospital at Al Mishab. 'The
construction of this facility took place while under hostile fire
during the battle for Khafji. The almost nightly rocket attacks
spurred the DT's into building a large 'model' bunker that was the
envy of the entire camp. DT's were instrumental in coordinating
the rapid breakdown of the hospital, packing and staging for
transportation to a new site 80 miles west. DT's volunteered for

members of the Nursing Service staff. They are often asked for by
name to aid in variety of medical and related functions. Often
seizing the opportunity, they have excelled in leading those
assigned with them in accomplishing numerous tasks.
From the Medical Battalion CO on down, the gratitude and
praise for the work accomplished by DT's has been tremendous. As
was stated to me by a senior Medical staff officer, *When I first
heard that Dental Technicians were coming to backfill corpsmen out
here, especially a Chief, I was skeptical. Now that you've been
with us, it's hard to imagine that we could have done it without
you. I don't know why you became Dental Technicians, but I'm sure
as hell glad you're herel" Another statement was 'Where you lack
in knowledge and experience, you well make up for in enthusiasm
and a willingness to learn. You guys are like well disciplined
sponges."
In every instance the DT's forward here have met every demand
and task with the same "Can Do" spirit that they have always been
noted for. It is my distinct pleasure to be able to serve with
them.
