JAG1995

Cmdr. Sturgis Turner:
Alcohol and carbon monoxide in the blood, even in minute amounts, can hasten hypoxia, correct?

Lt. Sam Albrecht:
Yes, sir.

Cmdr. Sturgis Turner:
According to the tox screen, Commander Zuzello had a carbon monoxide level of eleven percent per carboxy-hemoglobin and a blood alcohol level of .009. Now, this is fine if you're driving a car, but in an F-14 with a compromised oxygen system...

Lt. Sam Albrecht:
Commander Zuzello didn't do anything wrong, sir.

Cmdr. Sturgis Turner:
Wrong, no, but for a man who nearly failed his hypoxia demo, smoking and drinking the night before a mission, wouldn't you consider this unwise, Lieutenant?

Lt. Sam Albrecht:
It's easy to judge now, sir. It's also easy to blame someone who's not here to defend himself.
