ROCK SOLID WARRIOR Published July 20, 2009 386th Expeditionary Medical Group SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Senior Airman Ceaira Crawford Job: Medical Technician Home unit: 45th Medical Group, Patrick Air Force Base, Fla. How do you support the mission here? My mission here is to provide care for our Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Joint Nation partners so they can complete the big mission. How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? This is my first deployment. This experience has been unique because I am in a critical phase of my Air Force career with my first enlistment almost complete. I am thinking about life altering decisions and being here has led me to think about directions I may have never considered back at home. How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? I do my job the same but the difference is who I work with. At my home station I worked in a pediatric clinic with newborns to 18 year old individuals. Here, I am working with grown men and women who are in a different environment, each with a different mission.
