Also for anyone else interested in them, in the civilian world, you need to check with your state Dept of Health or whomever regulates EMS. Some states do not recognize Living Wills as a valid order for EMS. DNR's are though, but are only authorized here in SC for persons with a terminal illness.
Just some FYI.

The living will I'm refering to is one that would take place in a hospital setting. As a single soldier (like I was at the time) would need if I took a hit and was in a coma with not much of a chance of recovery.
Basically it said I did not want to be kept in a coma for 134 years and DNR if it came to saving my life.
I do not have a living will at this moment, I do however have a personal physician that can and will make those decisions if I were to ever end up in that sort of situation.
