Hypothermia, superficial and deep frostbite
What is hypothermia?
A general cooling of the whole body caused by exposure to low or rapidly falling temperature, cold moisture, snow or ice.
What is shock?
It’s a life-the eating medical condition whereby the body suffers from insufficient blood flow throughout the body as a result of severe injury or illness.
What is Septic shock?
Bacteria multiplying in the blood and releasing toxins.
What is Anaphylactic shock?
Allergic reaction
What is Cardiogenoc shock?
When the heart is damaged and unable to supply sufficient blood to the body.
What is Hypovolemic shock?
Caused by a severe blood and fluid loss, from a traumatic bodily injury. Heart is unable to pump enough blood to the body.
What is Neurogenic shock?
Caused by spinal cord injury
What is CPR?
Is a combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions delivered to victims thought to be in cardiac arrest.
CPR steps are:
C/A/B : circulation/airway/ breathing
What is ORM?
Is a systematic decision-making process used to identify and manage hazards that endanger naval resources.
ORM process
1) Identify hazards
2) Assess hazards
3) Make risk decisions
4) Implement controls
5) Supervise
Class A mishap?
Reportable material property damage is $ 2,000,000 or more, death or permanent total disability
Class B mishap?
Reportable material or property damage is $ 500,000 or more but less than $2 mil, or injury results in permanent partial disability
Class C mishap
Reportable material or property damage is $50,000 or more but less than $500 k, non-fatal injury
Types of PPE
Cranials, eye protection, hearing protection, impact protection, gloves, foot protection
What is Chemical warfare?
Is the employment of chemical agents that are intended for use in military operations to kill, seriously injure or incapacitate personnel due to their physiological effect.
Nerve agent?
Liquid casualty agent that disrupt nerve impulses to the body
Blister Agent is?
Liquid or solid casualty agents that can cause inflammation, blisters and general destruction of tissue which often results in temp. blindness and/or death.
Blood agents ?
Gaseous casualty agents that attack the enzymes carrying oxygen in the blood streams.
Choking agents?
Gaseous or liquid casualty agents with initial symptoms that include; tears, dry throat, nausea, vomiting and headache.
What Pathogens are used as biological agents?
Bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, fungi Protozoa and prions.
High altitude Radiological warfare is?
Air burst occurs at altitude in excess of 100,000 feet, with ionosphere disruption and EMP.
Air burst Rad. warfare?
Where fireball does not reach the surface.
Surface Burst Rad. warfare?
Has the worst fallout due to the fireball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout.
Shallow rad. warfare
Underwater burst has a small fireball and blast and blast wave, it causes large waves and water contamination.
Deep rad. warfare
Underwater burst is similar to the shallow underwater burst but with less visual effect and yields greater contamination water.
What is MOPP?
Mission Oriented Protective Posture
MOPP level 0?
Issue IPE, accessible within five minutes.
MOPP level 1?
Don protective equipment, M9 tape
MOPP level 2?
Additional to level 1 is don protective over-boots.
MOPP level 3?
Fill canteens, activate second stations
MOPP level 4?
Gloves with liners, untie bow in retention cord, loop between legs and secure to web belt.
What is the primary duty of a firefighter?
Save lives
The second responsibility for a fire fighter is?
Extinguish fires
What are the 4 key comments for a fire?

Runways
Paved areas that are used for aircraft takeoff and landing.
What are Threshold markings?
These are parallel stripes on the end of the runways. The stripes are 12ft wide by 150 ft long and designate the landing areas.
What is an Overrun area?
Paved or un-paved section on ends of the runways that provide a reasonably effective deceleration area for aborting or overshooting aircraft.
Taxiways?
Paved areas for aircraft to move between parking aprons, runways and airfield services.
Parking apron?
Open paved areas adjacent to hangars, fuel, services often called the flight line. Used for parking, servicing and loading aircraft; they are connecting to the runways by taxiways.
Compass calibration pad?
Magnetically quiet area where the aircraft compass is calibrated.
Runway numbering system
Runways are normally numbered in relation to their magnetic heading rounded off to the nearest 10 degrees, i.e. a runway heading of 250 is runway 25.
Airfield rotating beacon
It rotates clockwise at a constant speed and military airfields use2 white lights and 1 green flashing 12 to 15 times per minute.
