David Bryant; Marine veteran saving the world

| April 15, 2015

Tequila Volare sends us a link from FoxAtlanta about David Bryant, a UPS employee and an Afghanistan veteran of the Marine Corps variety. He was out driving his route yesterday, when he saw an elderly woman lying alongside the road – she was choking on a piece of food. Bryant leaped from his truck, not taking time to change into his superhero uniform, and performed the Heimlich maneuver on the woman;

Luckily, the 83-year-old victim was able to dislodge that piece of food. Paramedics then took her to a local hospital.

Bryant says his military training kicked in to help save that woman. Bryant served as a Marine in Afghanistan. He was a gunner and reached the rank of corporal. Bryant says he does not consider himself to be a hero; saying instead that he did what anyone else would have done to save that elderly woman.

Way to go Marine!

UPS seems like a great job. I have never seen a dirty truck and the drivers get to wear uniforms–and occasionally save a life. Nice.

Once a Marine, always a Marine.

UPS driver … He will be a millionnaire by the time he is 40.

UPS drivers make a great living and they get outstanding french benefits!

I hope, Master Chief, you’re referring to “fringe” benefits. I can only imagine what “french” benefits would be.

Oooh la la!

I bet the average UPS Driver makes at least twice the money that any member of the DRG makes in a year, and those drivers make it honestly!

BRAVO ZULU, Marine!!
Yeah, “Buster Brown” (Truckers’ slang for UPS) isn’t an easy outfit to get hired by. They’re picky, but they give a good day’s pay for a day’s work!
