USAF School of Aerospace Medicine Graduates Final Class from Brooks
Master Sgt. Todd Nelson (US Army Retired) spoke at The USAF School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) as the final class of students at Brooks City-Base in San Antonio, TX, graduated on Jan. 29. MSgt Nelson poignantly spoke to the crowd about the difference that the Aeromedical Evacuation team made in his life and the lives of his wife and children by keeping him alive during his flight back to Brook Army Medical Center after an improvised explosive device went off near his convoy on August 26, 2007 in Afghanistan.

USAF School of Aerospace Medicine Graduates Final Class from Brooks
More than 300 guests filled the auditorium at The USAF School of Aerospace Medicine as the final class of students at Brooks City-Base in San Antonio, TX, graduated on Jan. 29. Each of the Aeromedical Evacuation crew members received their “wings”, the uniform emblem that identifies them as a member of the elite Flight Nurse and Aeromedical Evacuation team. As the wings were pinned on, many times by a family member or a superior officer, each recipient’s pride was obvious. Among the attendees gathered to witness the historic event were the families of the graduating class, flight nurses from around the world, past instructors, USAFSAM alumni, and local community guests.

Immersive simulation from the inside looking out
A unique view of the 5-Meter Joint Terminal Attack Controller Training and Rehearsal System which showcased its integrated training capabilities at the 2010 Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference in Orlando, Fla. Nov. 29 - Dec. 2, 2010. The system uses a highly immersive environment to help train JTACs who call in airstrikes. Integrated demonstrations at the conference linked Warfighter Readiness Research Division with partner technologies such as Remotely Piloted Aircraft mission training devices together with others, such as Joint Terminal Attack Controller and Airborne Warning and Control System trainers. The system was developed by researchers with the 711th Human Performance Wing, part of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Bruce Liddil)
