We’ve heard the term “Multi Capable Airmen” a lot over the last few years. Our medical professionals at the 101st Air Refueling Wing epitomize this concept. MSgt Cailee Salerno is a TCCC Instructor and sits down to talk about what the training is, how they recently implemented a tier 3 course, and why TCCC is important to today’s warfighter.

The 101st Air Refueling Wing is like a Swiss Army Knife; our Airmen have the skillsets that fit every need. In this episode we talk to a MAINEiac who has the skill set to fight wild fires if called upon. Check it out!

“Even the tip of the spear can get dull sometimes.”
