1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:04,300 today , 3 00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:06,950 we're out here doing the chamber flight 4 00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:09,340 for our flight nurses and some enlisted 5 00:00:09,340 --> 00:00:11,118 technician , medical , enlisted 6 00:00:11,118 --> 00:00:13,340 technician . We're doing a women's only 7 00:00:13,340 --> 00:00:15,173 chamber flight today . So that's 8 00:00:15,173 --> 00:00:19,070 special . I find that this is the 9 00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:21,024 first time we've actually done all 10 00:00:21,024 --> 00:00:23,210 female chamber plate where the entire 11 00:00:23,210 --> 00:00:26,200 crew is run by females . Um , so it's 12 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,144 kind of a historical point for our 13 00:00:28,144 --> 00:00:30,460 career field and for this chamber at 14 00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:33,850 the space specifically , there were a 15 00:00:33,850 --> 00:00:35,906 lot of events that were going around 16 00:00:35,906 --> 00:00:37,961 and that were happening to celebrate 17 00:00:37,961 --> 00:00:40,128 women in the workforce in particular , 18 00:00:40,128 --> 00:00:42,294 and women in military in particular in 19 00:00:42,294 --> 00:00:44,183 just celebrating . You know , our 20 00:00:44,183 --> 00:00:46,183 increased numbers and are increased 21 00:00:46,183 --> 00:00:48,294 opportunity . And so we thought , you 22 00:00:48,294 --> 00:00:50,628 know , hey , we have enough women in uh , 23 00:00:50,628 --> 00:00:53,980 in our unit to support a flight , a 24 00:00:53,980 --> 00:00:56,036 chamber flight . So we thought , why 25 00:00:56,036 --> 00:00:58,091 don't we give it a try ? And uh , it 26 00:00:58,091 --> 00:01:00,202 just so happens that we also ended up 27 00:01:00,202 --> 00:01:02,036 having enough female students to 28 00:01:02,036 --> 00:01:04,300 support that as well . Yeah , we have 29 00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:06,540 to fully functioning altitude chambers 30 00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:08,900 as well as to fully functioning um 31 00:01:08,910 --> 00:01:11,600 reduce auction breathing devices um 32 00:01:11,610 --> 00:01:13,690 which is a capability that is for 33 00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:15,870 usually used for refresher flights 34 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,713 after they have come through the 35 00:01:17,713 --> 00:01:19,824 chamber um five years later when they 36 00:01:19,824 --> 00:01:21,936 do for their refreshers on physiology 37 00:01:21,936 --> 00:01:24,158 training . So anybody who's going to go 38 00:01:24,158 --> 00:01:27,070 up into uh an aircraft uh needs to go 39 00:01:27,070 --> 00:01:29,070 through physiology so that they can 40 00:01:29,070 --> 00:01:31,400 understand the effects of altitude that 41 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,344 they are up against . When they're 42 00:01:33,344 --> 00:01:35,511 flying in in the higher altitude lower 43 00:01:35,511 --> 00:01:38,700 pressure environment . The crew itself 44 00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:40,950 has a number of different positions and 45 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:43,006 we can't run a single chamber flight 46 00:01:43,006 --> 00:01:45,117 without each team member . So we have 47 00:01:45,117 --> 00:01:46,839 to have them all to make it an 48 00:01:46,839 --> 00:01:48,894 effective flights . You know , we're 49 00:01:48,894 --> 00:01:51,006 gonna have a lecturer lock up , we're 50 00:01:51,006 --> 00:01:53,006 gonna have a recorder , we're gonna 51 00:01:53,006 --> 00:01:52,990 have a chamber up , we're going to have 52 00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:55,040 a inside observer . So there's two 53 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,096 people sitting inside the chamber at 54 00:01:57,096 --> 00:01:59,318 any one time and we have a crew chief . 55 00:01:59,318 --> 00:02:01,040 So those are all the different 56 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,818 positions and each one of those 57 00:02:02,818 --> 00:02:05,040 positions has a very specific role that 58 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,096 they have to carry out to ensure one 59 00:02:07,096 --> 00:02:09,460 that we can do the chamber in a safe 60 00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:11,571 manner . And and to that we're taking 61 00:02:11,571 --> 00:02:14,700 care of our students . Mhm , Mhm . What 62 00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,220 we're doing in there is mimicking uh 63 00:02:18,230 --> 00:02:20,880 what it would feel and look like as if 64 00:02:20,890 --> 00:02:23,720 the students were or the aircrew rather 65 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,190 were to experience a decompression of 66 00:02:26,190 --> 00:02:28,570 the fuselage . So maybe a windows blown 67 00:02:28,570 --> 00:02:30,740 out our door . A door is blown out on 68 00:02:30,740 --> 00:02:33,750 the actual aircraft itself . So that 69 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,760 big sound that you see and hear and 70 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,460 that they experience is just that we're 71 00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:41,120 kind of blowing that seal . 72 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,830 The students did great today . Yeah , 73 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,951 nothing out of the ordinary . Uh they 74 00:02:46,951 --> 00:02:49,062 were all very excited , you know , to 75 00:02:49,062 --> 00:02:51,229 be part of this , to be an all women's 76 00:02:51,229 --> 00:02:53,396 chamber flight . So , um , I think the 77 00:02:53,396 --> 00:02:55,507 excitement in and of itself was , You 78 00:02:55,507 --> 00:02:57,618 know , a great thing for them just to 79 00:02:57,618 --> 00:02:59,673 be a part of it . I love it . I love 80 00:02:59,673 --> 00:03:02,030 working with this awesome , great group 81 00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:05,130 of people love the women on this crew , 82 00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:07,186 especially , I just moved here about 83 00:03:07,186 --> 00:03:09,297 three months ago and they're all very 84 00:03:09,297 --> 00:03:11,519 welcoming to have a ton of knowledge to 85 00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:14,900 offer 500 . So the 86 00:03:14,910 --> 00:03:18,330 significance of this patch , they had a 87 00:03:18,340 --> 00:03:21,860 female aircrew member make these and 88 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,410 it's just the saying fly like a girl . 89 00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:28,420 And so we felt with all of us being all 90 00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:30,642 female fight all students light that we 91 00:03:30,642 --> 00:03:33,070 could wear that today and , and rocket 92 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,370 essentially yeah , we want to raise 93 00:03:36,370 --> 00:03:38,426 awareness of , you know , that women 94 00:03:38,426 --> 00:03:40,370 are kicking butt right next to the 95 00:03:40,370 --> 00:03:42,314 males as well and that we're doing 96 00:03:42,314 --> 00:03:44,537 everything the same . I think more than 97 00:03:44,537 --> 00:03:46,759 anything , the fact that we have enough 98 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:48,537 females to support , you know , 99 00:03:48,537 --> 00:03:50,703 something like this , both as the crew 100 00:03:50,703 --> 00:03:52,814 and as the students is just amazing . 101 00:03:52,814 --> 00:03:54,960 It shows the evolution of our of our 102 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,160 country and of our society .
