In this episode of The Real ResQ, we are joined by Ashton Levarek, USCG RS 533 and Air Force PJ. Ashton talks about his first rescue as a USCG Rescue Swimmer, which was an overdue vessel where a boat was stuck in the mud and slinging a shotgun over the shoulder. He talks about getting called out for a patient that was hit in the face by a crowbar. He and his crew were launched out for a helicopter crash where they found some of the survivors floating after the crash. Next we transition into his career as an Air Force PJ. He talks about responding to a helicopter crash that happened as they were going into battle. How the habit of being calm and taking a minute “not to run to your death” stuck with him for future deployments. We end by talking about a good mindset to maintain for everyday life and what he is doing with his current business. Enjoy!
