The biggest thing I remember was to follow the rules, to the letter. If the lane says "verbalize BSI, head tilt chin lift, you go get help and I'm going to start CPR." than that is exactly what you do. There were quite a few guys that failed because they did not verbalize exactly like it said. I can't say that there were any badge protectors when I went, but I followed directions. Dont get caught up in the hype of people wargaming what lanes is what and the wheres and hows, just do what you're supposed to do. That's all I got. Hope it helps.
