Exercise! Exercise!

There was a wing level exercise yesterday called MARE (Major Accident Response Exercise).  Dominic said it was a Security Escort Convoy.  Dominic and a few others were the security escorts with the bus.  The bus "rolled over".  I guess they were supposed to wait for the fire and medical teams to get there but nothing was happening and people were "hurt" one guy even missing an arm.  TSgt. B "released the hounds".  Dominic and a couple others evacuated 14 people, triaged and in Dominic's words "ran the show".

Dominic ran to get the stretchers for the Fire Department that were standing around.

It started spreading around the wing that they all "kicked ass".  He said he is being named in emails about the exercise.  Dominic was disappointed in the fire and medical teams.  
Today he learned that he will be getting recognized by the wing for what he did in the exercise.  He said "I just did what I do".  He is great at what he does and for too long he hasn't gotten the recognition.  I am so proud of him and he totally deserves this.  He thinks he might get a coin or a certificate maybe.
