Good job.
I've had to use boxes before - on DZs when we 'contracted out' DZMO to the non Airborne ambulance medics. they got a chance to open the box on a Thomas, and they were ready... I nearly knocked two out as I came up the hill to see a buddy down, aksed what was going on, and was told that his leg was broken. The kid had a sh-t eating grin on his face as he said "...and it's a dropzone injury, we get to use a traction splint!" I did a quick assessment, asked T what was up and he said, "stop them, they're idiots" - they were, ther was a low tib fib fx, with ankle involvement - and they wanted to traction splint it, because "everything on a DZ gets traction". I threw them out of the area, got the boxes, collected belts and got transport... No M5 bag, late call for the jump had to borrow a ruck and helmet on the way out.
