00:00.120 --> 00:02.730
- Hey there everyone, I'm Senior
Airman Jasmine Vanderheyden

00:02.730 --> 00:05.550
with your look around the Air Force.

00:05.550 --> 00:06.730
Airmen arrived in Georgia

00:06.730 --> 00:08.570
for the Innovative
Readiness Training Event,

00:08.570 --> 00:12.480
which offers no-cost health
services to local residents.

00:12.480 --> 00:14.680
The mission provides service
members with hands-on

00:14.680 --> 00:16.150
readiness training opportunities

00:16.150 --> 00:18.410
while benefiting the local community.

00:18.410 --> 00:20.510
During the training, the
medical team will provide

00:20.510 --> 00:22.720
screenings, counseling, physical exams,

00:22.720 --> 00:24.790
and basic prescriptions.

00:24.790 --> 00:27.650
IRT training events are
intended to build partnerships

00:27.650 --> 00:31.070
between the US Department of
Defense and US communities.

00:31.070 --> 00:34.530
This event will run until
the 18th of this month.

00:34.530 --> 00:37.500
Last year was the most
destructive wildland fire season

00:37.500 --> 00:41.920
on record for California,
burning over one million acres.

00:41.920 --> 00:45.090
This year wildfire season
is in full swing and airmen

00:45.090 --> 00:47.220
first responders have been working hard

00:47.220 --> 00:50.160
to support local authorities
in containing them.

00:50.160 --> 00:52.810
The 9th Civil Engineer
Squadron fire department says

00:52.810 --> 00:55.240
there are preventative
steps people can take

00:55.240 --> 00:57.950
to help lessen the
danger this fire season.

00:57.950 --> 01:00.660
Easy steps like being aware
of weather conditions,

01:00.660 --> 01:03.730
keeping vegetation clear,
and disposing of coals

01:03.730 --> 01:07.390
and cigarettes correctly
can greatly reduce the risk.

01:07.390 --> 01:10.220
The inaugural class of Air
Force Junior Reserve Officer

01:10.220 --> 01:13.340
Training Corps cadets
participating in the Chief of Staff

01:13.340 --> 01:16.000
of the Air Force Flight
Academy Scholarship program

01:16.000 --> 01:18.220
is off and flying this summer.

01:18.220 --> 01:21.280
Air Force Junior ROTC's
Flight Academy supports

01:21.280 --> 01:24.030
the Air Force aircrew crisis task force.

01:24.030 --> 01:26.170
One of the tasks they're
working on is bringing

01:26.170 --> 01:29.000
back the excitement of aviation
to high school students

01:29.000 --> 01:32.040
and increasing diversity
in aviation fields.

01:32.040 --> 01:34.070
The Chief of Staff of the
Air Force Flight Academy

01:34.070 --> 01:37.740
Scholarship program allows
selected Air Force Junior ROTC

01:37.740 --> 01:40.740
cadets to attend an accredited
aviation program at one

01:40.740 --> 01:42.550
of six partnering universities

01:42.550 --> 01:44.800
to get a private pilot license.

01:44.800 --> 01:48.120
The application process
for the Summer 2019 program

01:48.120 --> 01:51.490
will begin in late August
or early September.

01:51.490 --> 01:54.553
And that's your look around the Air Force.
