I don’t think First Aid training is going to help.

I loved my time in the Air Force. Getting to fly around in helicopter and fighters was an awesome experience.

The down side was that I was in long enough to know the pilots and crew when there were crashes. I also worked with the people who did crash recovery and investigations. I heard lots of stories and, thank God, only had limited exposure to the aftermath of an aircraft crash. Stories about the colored flags – one color for aircraft parts and one color for biological parts.

Today my boss informed me that he signed us all (flight test crew) up for 2 days of first aid training - it could come in handy. Um, don’t think they cover the flags in basic first aid.
