Training pays off. In the USAF in fire protection, there are teams that you know are coming to see how well you function or ones that just unannounced, show up. It’s those that really check your oil, if you will.
I always in training sessions, emphasized to the various supervisors to assure their crews knew what was expected of them and to assure that training them was a priority.
We got hit unannounced. The response was made and when it was over, my chief came toward me. With him, it could be good or bad. I was in my vehicle, as the training NCO. I wasn’t too concerned as my enlistment was up in two weeks.
His comment…” I have one word for you as Asst. chief for training and your crews’ response…”FLAWLESS!”
