2. SAFETY

RIGID SAFETY STANDARDS ARE MAINTAINED BY SCHOOL PERSONNEL DURING ALL TRAINING ACTIVITIES. PREVENTION OF INJURIES AT OTHER TIMES DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THE COMMON SENSE AND GOOD JUDGMENT OF STUDENTS. SOME SPECIFIC SAFETY POLICIES INCLUDE:

SEAT BELTS:

All military personnel are required to use motor vehicle seat belts while on or off-base and on or off-duty. In addition, all military personnel operating or riding motorcycles will wear helmets, whether on or off-duty and on or off-base. In Washington State all occupants of a motor vehicle must wear safety belts. If you are stopped for any violation by the Washington State Patrol or local police, all occupants of the motor vehicle are subject to a fine if they are not wearing a seat belt.

JEWELRY/EYE GLASSES:

You will not wear rings, earrings, necklaces, or any type of jewelry on any part of your body during field training or resistance training labs. It is recommended you wear your military issued glasses in the field and RTL, not your personal ones. The Survival School will not be held responsible for the loss or damage of your eyewear.

POV USE:

You should rely as much as possible on the shuttle bus for transportation to the main base. The road to Fairchild is narrow and has several sharp curves on which chances for accidents are great. Rambo and Thorpe roads will be blocked during Real World or Exercise conditions for convoy movement. No one, except security police personnel may open the barricaded roads.

WALKING/JOGGING:

Please use the sidewalks. Do not walk on the grassy or rock covered areas. Where sidewalks are not available, all walking and jogging should be done along the left side of the roadway, facing traffic, in single file. Avoid walking/jogging two or more abreast on the roadways. This impedes the flow of traffic and increases the likelihood of an accident. The use of portable, earphones, or other similar devices is prohibited while walking/jogging along the traffic environment.

ANYONE PLANNING TO DRIVE SHOULD NOT DRINK!!!

SPEED LIMITS:

The road from this station to Highway 2 has a posted speed limit of 15 to 45 MPH. The speed limit is enforced and reflects the treacherous nature of the road. You should drive with special care on this road. (On Highway 2, 40 MPH speed limit in the town of Airway Heights is rigidly enforced.)

WINTER DRIVING:

If you are unaccustomed to driving on ice and snow, the best course of action is to leave your car at billeting. The roads in this area are routinely covered with "black ice." This is ice which you cannot see on the road and is extremely dangerous for you and your vehicle. When you must drive, expect the worst and keep your vehicle under control at all times. Many experienced winter drivers have come to grief on roads in the vicinity of the Survival School. Slow to a crawl for turns and brake gradually. Get the "feel" of the road and adjust your speed accordingly.

HAZARD REPORTING:

Students are encouraged to report hazardous conditions or procedures through the use of student critiques or the USAF Hazard Reporting System. Identify problem areas to your instructor or instructor’s supervisor.

PARKING:

Due to the limited amount of parking slots around training facilities, students are asked to leave their POV’s at billeting.

Please use the sidewalks. Do not walk on the grassy areas.

3. MEDICAL INFORMATION

STUDENT SICK CALL:

Monday through Friday, 0700-0900 & 1130-1300 in Bldg 1334. The Survival Flight Surgeon’s office is also located in this building.

The following categories of students in Course SV80A must report to the Group Medical Division for interview/examination during sick call on Monday (Day 1):

1. Personnel with medical waivers (except vision, hearing, body fat and height).

2. Students taking prescription medication (except females on birth control pills).

3. Students without medical records. (See note below.)

4. Students with a history of any type of orthopedic problem.

5. Students who have had a recent illness.

6. Students with allergies (i.e. bee stings, insect bites, medications, etc.).

Note: Medical records need to be mailed by Federal Express to:

336 TRSS/SGF

2505 S Denver St., Ste 112

Fairchild AFB, WA 99011

EMERGENCY CARE:

--DURING DUTY HOURS: If you require emergency care during duty hours contact the medical flight at 7-5414.

--AFTER DUTY HOURS: If you require emergency care after duty hours contact the Acute Care Clinic, 92nd Medical Group at 7-5661 for guidance. Hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 0700-2200, Friday 0700-1930, and weekends & holidays 0900-1930.

--FOLLOW-UP: All students who are seen in the emergency room must report to the Medical Flight, with all paperwork, the following duty day at 0700 hours.

KEEP STUDENT ADMIN INFORMED

MEDICAL CARE:

During field training and resistance training, medical care is provided by Independent Duty Medical Technicians (IDMTs) on a 24-hour basis. Call your instructor to request medical treatment.

MEDICATION:

The Survival School flight Surgeon must prescribe or approve all prescription medication taken to the field, except birth control pills. This includes medications prescribed by another physician. You may not take non-prescription drugs, including Aspirin, to the field. You are not authorized to take any medication into the resistance training lab.

PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES:

The stressful nature of resistance training may cause students some psychological problems. Any student with previous bad experiences dealing with sexual abuse, rape, or other forms of exploitation may want to consider the school Psychologist or his staff prior to Resistance Training for counseling.

INJURIES:

If you suspect, for any reason, you are prone to injury, you are responsible for taking preventive action based upon your personal knowledge of your physical condition and your past experience. For example, if you have a history of a previous injury, such as sprained ankle or dislocated shoulder, you are responsible for bringing this to the attention of the Flight Surgeon.

FATIGUE:

It is strongly suspected most serious student injuries are the result of attempting routine tasks while fatigued. Avoid overextending yourself, particularly in the pursuit of off-duty recreation. Even routine tasks become complicated under the influence of fatigue and have caused accidents.

4. INFORMATION FOR FEMALE STUDENTS:

Depending upon the individual, stress brought about by the course may disrupt your menstrual cycle. You are expected to carry your own sanitary supplies during the field and resistance training phases. Sanitary supplies are not used to smuggle contraband (i.e., food, medications, weapons, etc...) and will be searched during the RTL phase.

While in the field portion of training, we suggest female students carry the following items to the woods: (Items are optional)

Moist towelettes -(like Wash’n Dry)

Plastic zip-lock bags (2) for sanitation.

Birth control pills (no approval necessary).

While in the resistance training laboratory (RTL) you are not authorized to bring in medication of any type. Give your birth control pills to the medics before going into the RTL and they will see you get them during training. You are required to wear all undergarments (i.e. bra and underwear).

5. GENERAL SCHOOL INFORMATION

CASUAL STUDENTS:

All students, regardless of rank, in casual status, that is a non-duty, non-training status must report to Student Administration (Bldg 1252, suite 165) each morning at 0745 (Monday through Friday), except holidays IAW Commander’s policy. The only exception to this policy is for students just completing SV80A . The Thursday and Friday immediately following graduation are compensatory days, no reporting in is required. Commander’s policy letter is attached, any questions contact SrA Vince O’Dell at 7-5422.

HAIRCUTS:

The Group Commander requires strict adherence to AFI 36-2903 standards. All students will meet those standards or the 336 TRSS/CC will remove them from training. School personnel will conduct periodic checks for adherence to AFI 36-2903 standards and make appropriate recommendations to the commander.

PHYSICAL FITNESS STANDARDS:

Students will comply with Air Force physical and weight standards. School personnel will ensure students enrolled in S-V80-A are within established Air Force weight and ergometry fitness standards (Cat 3). School personnel will evaluate any student whose military image is questionable. Students not meeting standards will be removed through the 336 TRSS, Military Training Flight, and sent back to their respective units.

TOBACCO POLICY:

Smoking or chewing tobacco is not authorized during any phase of training when instruction is actively occurring.

UNIFORM:

Uniform for all classes is battle dress uniform (BDU) or flight suit.

Students are required to wear standard AFI 36-2903 uniform combinations at all times (i.e. flight jackets and flight cap with flight suits and field/BDU jackets and BDU caps with BDUs). EXCEPTIONS: During Field Training laboratories, actual field training, Resistance Training Laboratory (RTL), or when receiving parachute training students are required to wear the school issued field jacket and their BDU caps; officers will wear subdued pin-on rank on the field jacket epaulets and on their caps; rank is not required during the field evasion exercise or during the RTL. If students are attending classes immediately followed by one of the above four exceptions, they may wear the school issued field jacket and BDU cap to class.

Students will wear long sleeves for all outdoor training. Do not roll-up flight suit sleeves at any time. If BDU sleeves are rolled-up ensure outer material only shows (i.e. "combat rolled"). Students will wear either nonflammable Nomex or leather gloves for helicopter hoist training and the field training signal labs.

Students will wear high top military style combat boots (includes Danners, Chipewas, Redwings, jump boots, or basic combat boots) or noninsulated flying boots for training. The brand, "HI TECH" boots listed at clothing sales as a suitable substitute are not authorized for the field. These boots are not adequate due to the foam liner absorbing water and being difficult to dry. Boots with sewn-in zippers are not authorized (laced-in zippers are acceptable). Jungle boots are authorized 1 May through 30 Sep only.

SUMMER: 1 May through 30 Sep.

-Wear a BDU cap for all outdoor field or laboratory training.
