"... please ensure that you check your urine regularly (every six months) for any signs of blood. This is an inexpensive practice has already saved the lives of some within our cohort and should be regarded as standard operating procedure if you are involved in, or have been involved in, ammunition management, particularly explosive ordnance disposal (which includes EOD, BCMD, and IEDD)."
