NY 173 Support to NYW (TAK) - Increase the number of persons in our squadron with Emergency Services: 1 st Step Basic ES Qualified 2 nd Step Set SMs on specialty tracks -Goal is to have 80% Basic ES qualified by reviewing various specialty tracks (i.e.; ground team, flight line, communication, administration, etc) and set up training to arrange basic first aid and CPR qualifications. - Once SMs are checked off with Basic ES qualifications we move into the next phase by setting up specialty track training. At the specialty track level we will no doubt require the assistance of Group and/or Wing since specialty tracks will require qualified instructions. - Were still in the early stages of planning and our needs are to ID qualified persons to come in and teach.
