have any of the answers or know what became of our sister-in-arms after the incident. We do know her fate would have been much worse if we were not there.
Reflecting on the incidents of the evening, it is in- credible that without prompting, each of our members was able to play a vital role in keeping the woman safe. Without Reed and Myers having a bird’s eye view from the second floor balcony of Howl at the Moon, we may not have made it there in time.
Without Carrico by my side, I may not have been able to take care of the victim while there was a fight happen- ing right next to me. Every second counted and our team instinctually knew exactly what to do when it mattered.
Chief Master Sgt. Kristian Farve, 90th MW command chief, found out about the incident after one of our members wasn’t able to make it to the first session of the conference the next morning due to a lack of sleep. When he asked about the incident, we were honest and forthcoming and explained everything to him.
Since the event, we have been recognized by MAJCOM command chief, Chief Master Sgt. Tommy Mazzone, and received coins for our courage. It is true that we went in blind. We didn’t have a strategy or know what enemy we were facing. In the military, we are not just trained for war between countries. We are here so each member of the United States of America can fall asleep knowing they and their children are safe and free because of the sacrifices we make and the training we have.
It is incredible to be recognized for our actions, though we were executing our duties as Airmen and American citizens. We hope that anyone else in our situation would respond with the same instinct and genuine care.
In the words of the Air Force’s pararescuemen, “These Things We Do, That Others May Live.”
An Airman assigned to the 306th Rescue Squadron uses an Atlas device Nov. 18 to climb out of State Farm Sta- dium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, in front of thousands of fans. The rappel team was part of the half-time show during the Arizona Cardinals Salute to Service game.
