00:05.410 --> 00:08.110
- [Danielle] Joint base
Charleston, Naval weapons station,

00:08.110 --> 00:10.400
hosted the Lowcountry Skills Fair.

00:10.400 --> 00:13.870
Naval Health Clinic Charleston,
the 628th medical group,

00:13.870 --> 00:16.810
and the Naval Health Clinic
Beaufort participated

00:16.810 --> 00:18.350
in the joint training event.

00:18.350 --> 00:20.500
- We are kind of doing a joint skills fair

00:20.500 --> 00:23.610
for our nurses, our foremens,
our airmen, our techs,

00:23.610 --> 00:26.610
gonna get a refresher
training on basic skills,

00:26.610 --> 00:28.750
IV insertion, pulley catheters, trauma,

00:28.750 --> 00:29.583
things of that nature.

00:29.583 --> 00:30.630
- [Danielle] The readiness exercise

00:30.630 --> 00:33.980
simulated realistic
scenarios by using actors

00:33.980 --> 00:35.350
and special effects make-up.

00:35.350 --> 00:37.210
- They keep us on our
toes and like I said,

00:37.210 --> 00:39.100
make sure that we know exactly what to do

00:39.100 --> 00:41.309
if a situation is needed.

00:41.309 --> 00:42.270
If a situation were to arise,

00:42.270 --> 00:45.800
we know exactly how to handle
it, how to react to it.

00:45.800 --> 00:47.100
The joy factor of it brings a lot

00:47.100 --> 00:48.030
of different things to the table.

00:48.030 --> 00:49.870
So it's good to have that
competition, that rivalry,

00:49.870 --> 00:51.670
that we can always make
it the best medical care

00:51.670 --> 00:52.503
that we can dish out.

00:52.503 --> 00:54.310
- [Danielle] Air Force
and Navy teams competed

00:54.310 --> 00:56.570
for the gold in an Olympic style event,

00:56.570 --> 00:58.610
testing their medical readiness skills.

00:58.610 --> 01:01.130
- I think it helps refresh
your memory on stuff

01:01.130 --> 01:02.640
that you don't really do everyday

01:02.640 --> 01:04.010
and it then it just helps build teamwork.

01:04.010 --> 01:05.920
It just shows that rivalry

01:05.920 --> 01:07.550
that we kind of have against each other.

01:07.550 --> 01:09.932
- I think the events and the competition,

01:09.932 --> 01:13.003
the Air Force versus the Navy was great

01:13.003 --> 01:16.210
because it really showed how all the teams

01:16.210 --> 01:18.430
are very competitive, both services.

01:18.430 --> 01:19.500
