Rock Solid Warrior: Senior Airman Guillermo Estrada Published April 8, 2011 SOUTHWEST ASIA -- The 386th Expeditionary Wing's Rock Solid Warrior comes from the 386th Expeditionary Medical Group. Name: Senior Airman Guillermo Estrada Unit: 386th Expeditionary Medical Group Duty Title: Medical Technician Home unit/station: 75th Medical Operations Squadron, Hill AFB, Utah How do you support the mission here? I provide healthcare at a deployed 25 bed in-patient Contingency Aero medical Staging Facility, or CASF, which is expandable to 50 beds. I assist with the medical support for the movement of patients. I am responsible for anti-hijacking procedures for patients and attendants prior to departure along with medical restraint training for any attendants that are traveling with psychologically diagnosed patients. I also provide Ambus and Ambulance transportation to and from the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing's flight line, supporting both aircraft and helicopter en/on-loading of patients. In addition, I maintain two Ambus vehicles and one Ambulance for the emergency operations listed above. During non-aero evacuation mission days I augment the Expeditionary Medical Support Clinic's daily operations as a first responder to 911 calls, in-flight emergencies and I assist with all other patient visits. While in EMEDS I also review medical records and immunizations for out-processers and redeployers. Favorite Movie: Brave Heart Favorite Restaurant: Outback Favorite Superhero: Thor Place you would most like to vacation to or visit: Hawaii How many times have you deployed and what makes this deployment unique? Two times. The people make this place unique. The co-workers here are now considered family, and that is something I will cherish always. Favorite Actor/Actress: Tom Hanks/ Drew Barrymore Favorite food: Spanish Favorite musical group/musician/singer: I listen to all kinds of music. How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? As an Air Force medic and emergency medical technician working at a clinic on home station I am not exposed to the variety of patients and medical situations that are experienced while deployed. I feel like while deployed I get an opportunity to maximize the skills in which I have been trained as an emergency medical technician. Here you never know what kind of patients we will receive from all over the area of responsibility whether working at EMEDS or CASF.
