His Air Force training took over;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Perri took a breath, collected himself and sprang into action. First, he called his flight chief to notify him of the situation and then he asked the women if they called emergency services &#8212; they did.<\/p>\n<p>Perri then walked down to assess the injured&#8217;s condition and noticed the individual lost a large amount of blood, was unresponsive and suffered a major head injury. Perri knew what he had to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything I did was what the Air Force taught me,&#8221; said the Airmen who thought he would never have to use CPR.<\/p>\n<p>He proceeded to ask one of the girls if they had a towel &#8211; they handed him one. Perri then angled the towel so it would be in the &#8216;looking up&#8217; position creating a clear passage for air. Once the passage was clear, he began to perform CPR in intervals of 10. The paramedics arrived and told him to just keep going and don&#8217;t stop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The victim of the accident did stabilize for a few days, but then gave up the ghost, but not as the result of this airman&#8217;s valiant efforts to save him. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I hope others will learn from situations like this and not take any training for granted,&#8221; he added of the event. &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t have known what to do without the training the Air Force supplied me with.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former3cO sends us a link to the story of Senior Airman Jason Perri who was on &hellip; <a title=\"Senior Airman Jason Perri; saving the world one person at a time\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=32147\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Senior Airman Jason Perri; saving the world one person at a time<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[130],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-real-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32147\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
