This was our last class in the classroom, and it was a pretty good one.\u00a0 Of all the classes, I like this one best because I could re-learn or practice many of the most important things from all of hte previous classes, in preparation for our upcoming “field exercise”.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we reviewed a lot of the highlights from previous classes in a big slide deck, along with some new, supporting material.\u00a0 Let me take this opportunity to say again that our instructors did a fantastic job making sure we had useful, interesting content to review.<\/p>\n
Especially to prepare for our upcoming exercise, we spent some more time on reviewing building layouts and discussing how we would conduct search and rescue operations in a variety of situations.<\/p>\n
Of course, none of this could have prepared us for the mind-bending insanity that was our Final Exercise.\u00a0 Not many survived that day, unfortunately….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
