This semi-conscious individual was found

wandering in the wilderness at Vigilant

Warrior Camp in Titus, Al. Luckily for him

there were 96 Civil Air Patrol members

training in Emergency Services who were

ready and prepared to immobilize his

fractures and transport him back to safety!

When cadets from Springville Squadron AL-

126 arrived at Vigilant Warrior for their

Emergency Services training, one face theymet was already very familiar. C/TSgt Vince

Corey from our Springville Cadet Squadron

has been on staff at the facility in the

Communications Section helping to train

participants in radio communications. As

Communications Staff, his job was to help

coordinate the training efforts of the Basic

Ground Search and Rescue, Advanced Ground

Search and Rescue, Wilderness Advanced First

Aid, and Pilot SAR Schools.

In his free time, C/TSgt. Corey enjoys

perfecting his acting skills by portraying

various missing persons as well as crash

victims in “real- life” crash scene SAR training

scenarios, which are important learning tools

for each of the schools.

C/TSgt. Vince Corey will help staff the 2013

National Emergency Services Academy at

Camp Atterbury, In.
