1
00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:04,010
- I've always been the guy
that loved the ambulances

2
00:00:04,010 --> 00:00:05,210
and loved the fire trucks.

3
00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:06,890
I've been a full-time firefighter

4
00:00:06,890 --> 00:00:08,740
my whole career as a civilian

5
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:11,860
and I've always just had a strong purpose

6
00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:14,160
of trying to help people in need.

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,410
And to combine those two,
to help people medically

8
00:00:17,410 --> 00:00:18,760
and get to fly at the same time

9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,110
just seemed like a dream job to me.

10
00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:23,230
Hi, I'm Master Sergeant Ryan McClellan

11
00:00:23,230 --> 00:00:26,100
with the 36th Aeromedical
Evacuation Squadron

12
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,530
and I am an Aeromedical
Evacuation Technician.

13
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:33,010
My main job is to be part
of a aeromedical flying crew

14
00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:35,940
that transports patients
from near point of injury

15
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:40,036
or point of injury to higher
echelons of medical care.

16
00:00:40,036 --> 00:00:44,230
I joined the Air Force being
third generation military

17
00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:46,200
and having a sibling that served.

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,460
I always thought that that
was something I wanted to do,

19
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:51,250
and I knew I wanted to do it in the air.

20
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:54,890
And I always wanted to be a
flight medic and, you know,

21
00:00:54,890 --> 00:00:57,472
I ended up with the best
job in the Air Force.
