WEBVTT 00:16.379 --> 00:18.260 The 9/11 Air Medical Evacuation 00:18.270 --> 00:20.492 squadron performs training while aboard 00:20.492 --> 00:22.659 AC 17 Globemaster three , while flying 00:22.659 --> 00:26.079 to Colorado Springs . So we have a list 00:26.090 --> 00:28.146 of things that we have to accomplish 00:28.146 --> 00:30.423 and we have to prove proficiency every , 00:30.423 --> 00:32.700 every uh fiscal year . Uh So what we do 00:32.709 --> 00:34.931 is we look and see who's on crew and we 00:34.931 --> 00:37.153 try and tailor a lot of situations . It 00:37.153 --> 00:39.320 being the beginning of the fiscal year 00:39.330 --> 00:41.386 once it's called A mar is clean with 00:41.386 --> 00:43.497 those tasks that we have to perform . 00:43.497 --> 00:45.608 So after we perform those tasks , you 00:45.608 --> 00:47.830 know , our , our mar is finished and we 00:47.830 --> 00:49.941 kind of usually roll over to the next 00:49.941 --> 00:52.052 year . So it's , it's everything . So 00:52.052 --> 00:53.663 anywhere from uh respiratory 00:53.663 --> 00:57.479 neurological uh gigu , uh any type of 00:57.490 --> 01:00.049 medical scenario that could happen to a 01:00.060 --> 01:02.180 patient in flight , we have to prove 01:02.189 --> 01:05.220 proficiency four times a year uh in 01:05.230 --> 01:08.839 flight to make , to qualify to continue 01:08.849 --> 01:11.127 doing the job . Um So we're , you know , 01:11.127 --> 01:13.127 practicing putting our patients and 01:13.127 --> 01:15.016 planting them and then we provide 01:15.016 --> 01:16.738 medical care and we um we like 01:16.738 --> 01:19.069 scenarios the whole time and then we 01:19.080 --> 01:21.540 will offload them , we brief before we 01:21.550 --> 01:23.661 brief after and we kind of talk about 01:23.661 --> 01:26.339 what could have gone differently . It's , 01:26.349 --> 01:28.489 it's one thing to do , uh , the job 01:28.500 --> 01:30.660 that I do as a civilian . Uh , but to 01:30.669 --> 01:33.339 do that on a plane with , uh , you know , 01:33.349 --> 01:36.209 all the stress of flight , with all of 01:36.220 --> 01:38.442 the different equipment , the different 01:38.442 --> 01:40.609 power needs . You know , we , we don't 01:40.609 --> 01:42.553 have necessarily like an unlimited 01:42.553 --> 01:44.720 resources in the air and we also don't 01:44.720 --> 01:46.831 have the ability to in an emergency , 01:46.831 --> 01:48.942 just bring people in from the outside 01:48.942 --> 01:51.109 just because we're in a enclosed metal 01:51.109 --> 01:53.276 tube , thousands and thousands of feet 01:53.276 --> 01:55.331 in the sky . So it really does force 01:55.331 --> 01:57.442 you to think uh differently than when 01:57.442 --> 01:59.553 you are on the ground . We , we never 01:59.553 --> 02:01.553 want to deploy and have uh a member 02:01.690 --> 02:03.912 experience something for the first time 02:03.912 --> 02:05.968 when deployed , we would rather them 02:05.968 --> 02:08.079 have the training here so they can do 02:08.079 --> 02:10.246 it here first so that it's not a shock 02:10.246 --> 02:09.910 to them . Just because when you're down 02:09.919 --> 02:12.179 range , it's much more erratic . You 02:12.190 --> 02:14.357 know , you're in austere environment , 02:14.357 --> 02:16.412 you don't have the things you need . 02:16.412 --> 02:18.634 It's much better to uh have training on 02:18.634 --> 02:20.746 those things . So when you don't have 02:20.746 --> 02:22.968 the time , you don't have the luxury of 02:22.968 --> 02:25.023 unlimited safety and resources . You 02:25.023 --> 02:27.190 know , it's important for us to do our 02:27.190 --> 02:29.412 job , to have time where we can be with 02:29.412 --> 02:31.746 each other . Get to know each other and , 02:31.746 --> 02:33.857 you know , learn how to work together 02:33.857 --> 02:32.910 as a team
