When treating a fellow Seabee for exposure to a nerve agent, should you use your own NAAK for treatment?

Using your own Nerve Agent Antidote Kit (NAAK) to treat a fellow Seabee for exposure to a nerve agent is not advisable due to safety and protocol considerations. The guidelines for administering antidotes in a chemical exposure scenario emphasize that personnel should conserve their own supplies, especially in high-risk situations where they may also be at risk of exposure.

In addition, there are established protocols for the use of NAAK that involve administering the antidote to an individual who is incapacitated or showing severe symptoms of exposure, which should typically be done by trained medical personnel. Using your NAAK could compromise your ability to respond to your own potential exposure in the ongoing scenario, and it undermines the operational readiness of your unit. Therefore, the correct response is that it is not acceptable to use your own NAAK for treating someone else in this context.
