 My name is CW3 Mike Elkins. I'm the senior instructor pilot for Charlie Med. As instructors, I mean, we fly more than anybody else in the company, just because we have to progress other aviators or non-ready crew members. We have to evaluate many qualifications we've got to do. So it's just the nature of our job. So I was prior commissioned. I was military intelligence. I was trying to find something new, and I went through Officer Canada School. So aviation wasn't even a branch that you could pick. One of my buddies is a Chinook pilot in Washington National Guard, and he suggested going to fly. So then I was looking into warrant officer, because that's what I wanted to do. I just wanted to fly, and here I am. A big part of obviously anything that we do is planning. So knowing where the ground force is going to be at and kind of figuring out routes to and from the landing zones. And then weather plays a big part in that. So being able to work with the weather personnel to see what they're forecasting so that we know what to expect. Because there's different systems on the aircraft that we're going to have to use based on what kind of weather we come across. Once all that's done, then we head out to the aircraft and we check the logbook to make sure that there's no inspections or anything that we're going to come across. The aircraft is set up for Medevac, so we have the proper equipment in there, medical supplies, glitters. Then once that's done, then we run the aircraft up, make sure that it's operational, and then we wait. We're in a rest posture, so that way we can get the call and be ready to go off the ground within 15 minutes. When you do get a real world Medevac, you feel that sense of purpose. Like you're actually doing something. You've helped somebody that was in need. Kind of like that.
