                                    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.
