F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. — Many Defenders have multiple skillsets and certifications, but one certification might be considerably more uncommon than others. There are few who can boast they are nationally-certified Emergency Medical Technicians.
Recently, two Security Forces Group members attended an Air Force Pararescue EMT course with the Battlefield and Airman Training Squadron at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico.
The course was originally scheduled to be seven weeks, but members completed the last week via online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The course was very challenging both mentally and academically,” said Staff Sgt. Cody Crittenden, 90 Missile Security Forces Squadron Base Defense Operations Controller. “We completed eight block tests throughout the course in order to earn the EMT certification.”
