00:00.040 --> 00:02.207
and then you have problems as far away

00:02.207 --> 00:04.318
your up close . I'm keisha . It means

00:04.318 --> 00:06.540
I'm in ophthalmic technician in the Air

00:06.540 --> 00:08.707
Force . I can sort of reach 11 . But I

00:08.707 --> 00:10.596
can definitely read it up here in

00:10.596 --> 00:12.707
Alaska . There's a lot of people that

00:12.707 --> 00:14.762
just cannot afford insurance because

00:14.762 --> 00:14.610
the cost of living is so high up here .

00:14.620 --> 00:16.676
All right . So I think it limits you

00:16.676 --> 00:18.898
make me ffs not only are we up here for

00:18.898 --> 00:20.787
training also somewhat considered

00:20.787 --> 00:22.898
humanitarian . So we're really trying

00:22.898 --> 00:25.009
to help these people out . E said , I

00:25.009 --> 00:27.176
think it's awesome . I mean I've never

00:27.176 --> 00:29.176
had anything like this before . You

00:29.176 --> 00:31.231
know everywhere . You always have to

00:31.231 --> 00:30.720
make your appointment and go and then

00:30.720 --> 00:32.998
your insurance and it's very expensive .

00:32.998 --> 00:35.109
A lot of people are very surprised by

00:35.109 --> 00:34.940
the price . Never had a credit card .

00:34.940 --> 00:36.829
I'm like , man , I hope they take

00:36.829 --> 00:38.940
credit cards that I've had . A lot of

00:38.940 --> 00:38.930
people try to offer us money and we

00:38.940 --> 00:40.970
just don't take any , okay , that's

00:40.970 --> 00:43.192
yours and these should be ready for you

00:43.192 --> 00:45.303
tomorrow . All right . I haven't been

00:45.303 --> 00:47.414
able to see a lot of people then like

00:47.414 --> 00:49.303
today that they can pick up their

00:49.303 --> 00:51.414
glasses and they're just so surprised

00:51.414 --> 00:53.414
at the turn around time . Oh yeah ,

00:53.414 --> 00:56.870
it's very rewarding . Um I mean we're

00:56.870 --> 00:58.926
finding these patients aren't having

00:58.926 --> 01:00.926
glasses and we're turning around in

01:00.926 --> 01:02.592
less than a day . It's a nice

01:02.592 --> 01:04.926
experience . That would be part of that .

01:04.926 --> 01:06.814
I like the smile that we got from

01:06.814 --> 01:08.926
people that have a lower prescription

01:08.926 --> 01:11.148
that we're able to give their glass and

01:11.148 --> 01:10.350
they're like oh my gosh , I can see

01:10.350 --> 01:12.410
again . So that's a really , really

01:12.410 --> 01:14.354
cool experience . It makes me feel

01:14.354 --> 01:16.466
happy and proud to begin the military

01:16.466 --> 01:18.354
and to be a part of helping these

01:18.354 --> 01:20.577
people out . And a lot of times I don't

01:20.577 --> 01:22.799
really think of it as training . I just

01:22.799 --> 01:23.050
think of it as helping people out .
