When you think of Bluetooth, you probably think of a Bluetooth headset - you know, one of the ones that keep cutting out on you all the time and don't sound as good as a wired headset. Or perhaps you have a Bluetooth mouse.

In the case of Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Bleill, Bluetooth is enabling him to walk.
