Pull the free end of the band through the buckle, place the tourniquet 2 to 3 inches above the wound (not on a joint), pull the self-adhering band tight around the extremity and fasten it back on itself as tightly as possible, twist the windlass until bleeding stops, lock the windlass into the windlass clip, secure the windlass strap over the windlass clip, assess for a distal or posterior tibial pulse, and annotate the time on the tourniquet.

This Question Comes From

This website is an extension of The Board Questions Podcast. I created the podcast first because I was ejected from my first board. I was brand new to the Army, just sent on rotation to Germany after OSUT, and my squad leader had it in his head that every one of his soldiers would attend a soldier of them month board. I knew nothing, got chewed up and spit out, and failed. I refused to accept that as a final result.
I decided to build something that I needed. I gathered the questions, studied the regs, and used an AI voice to create The Board Questions Podcast. I used the podcast the study up, I won my battalion's Soldier of the Quarter board, and have worked hard to help as many soldiers as possible prepare.
Not everyone learns from audio, so I built this website. However, if you'd like to suppliment your studies by listening to the podcast as well, each of the topics by difficulty episodes covers the exact same questions that are covered on this site. The podcast even has explainations for each answer, some additional memorizational guides, and repetition chapters to help you go over it while your ear and mind are free, like commuting, playing video games, or doing chores.
Feel free to listen!
