"Gas, gas, gas!" is a phrase many of us have heard during exercises and readiness training.
Readiness Tip for April 8, 2011 (Proper litter carry ensures patient safety -- click here for full commentary)
Things are going smoothly until your wingman loses his footing and crashes to the ground. As the team reaches your wingman, you can tell they have not practiced litter carries recently and are utterly lost at how to move him. Luckily for you all, you just practiced litter carries at the recent ability to survive and operate training and are pretty comfortable with the procedures.
Readiness tip for March 31, 2011 (Heat exhaustion signs and symptoms -- click here for full commentary):
Imagine a hot, balmy, late spring day in South Korea...
Readiness tip for March 23, 2011 (Challenging procedures -- click here for full commentary):
One thing I've learned throughout my 14-year military career, is that all stories, at least the ones worth hearing, began with the same four words -- "So there I was!" This story is no different.

Readiness Tip For March 3, 2011 (SALUTE report - click here for full commentary):

Readiness Tip for Feb. 25, 2011 (zone transition points - click here for full commentary):
Zone transition points are not a new concept, but are rarely seen by most Air Force personnel, except for some deployed locations and bases in Korea.
Readiness Tip for Feb. 16, 2011 (contamination avoidance - click here for full commentary):
If a chemical attack were to occur at your base, what can you do to avoid contamination?
Place all mission-essential equipment inside or under overhead protection. Those items that do not have overhead protection should be covered with at least two sheets of plastic. Ensure that the plastic is tightly secured around the asset.
Readiness Tip for Feb. 9, 2011 (active, passive M8 use - click here for full commentary):
For everyone who would love to know everything about the M8 detection paper, I just so happen to have that information.
M8 paper can be used one of two ways, active and passive. The active method is the act of taking a piece of M8 and placing it in a suspicious pool of liquid. The paper will immediately change colors.
Readiness Tip for Feb. 2, 2011 (Immediate decon - click here for full commentary):
I remember one time when knowing how to properly perform immediate and operational decontamination saved my life. |
