Kevin,
Good luck, buddy. Try to not stand out and give the TI (USAF calls them Training Instructors) a reason to single you out. I hope you took my advice and received a written confirmation on your career field. Let me know what it is.
How ironic, I am telling a young man good luck, when he will enter Basic Training 8 days shy of the 27th anniversary of my arrival at wonderful Lackland AFB in Texas.

SAN DIEGO: It was a doggone happy ending.Hollie, an arson-trained black Labrador, made a break from the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department headquarters yesterday, but she was picked up by a passing motorist and returned to her handler about two hours later.
“She's a valuable asset to the fire-rescue arson investigation unit,” said Battalion Chief Dave Williams of the Metro Arson Strike Team.

Ana,
While no words can console and drown the hurt of losing a family member, please know that your Brother's fellow Police Officers, Firefighters, EMTS, Paramedics and other Public Safety workers mourn your loss. May God watch over your family and give you peace as you deal with this tragedy. May Officer Murphy Rest in Peace. Thank you for sharing.
Thoughts and Prayers also to the family of Tina Kelly.

A helicopter from University of Wisconsin Med Flight crashed on it's return flight on Saturday night, killing all onboard. Killed were Surgeon Darren Bean, Nurse Mark Coyne and Pilot Steve Lipperer. Their Eurocopter EC135 crashed approximately 3 miles from La Crosse Airport.
May God watch over their families during this tragic time.

Hey, that guy used to work in my dispatch center! So him being stabbed in the back is true!!
In reality, transport prone. Any chance of him crashing, depending on distance to the trauma center, call the bird for sedation then intubation. Let them manage the airway their way....
Otherwise, double big bags with a 14 gauge in each a/c and haul a$$ for the big house...
