Schriever Airman’s training enabled quick response

Even though it is just in time training for Airmen to certify on Self-Aid Buddy Care, it is not often they get to apply the skills in a real-life situation.
Staff Sgt. Jefrey Wayne Davis, military satellite communications transmissions maintenance technician, with the 4th Space Operations Squadron, had such an opportunity in front of his home March 17.
Davis had just finished lunch when he heard a loud noise he likened to something large falling off the back of a truck.
“I scanned the streets from my window and saw a black car laying on its driver’s side,” he said. “I told my wife that there was a car flipped on its side and I was going to check on the people and make sure everyone was OK,” Davis said.
