There were other nurses on that mission that all received the DFC. Flight Nurses… CCATT… respiratory.. etc.

She's the first guard ccatt nurse, though. I'm pretty sure that at least that portion of the story is correct.

That is correct. There were only two guardsman on that mission: one CCATT nurse. One AE med tech.

It's funny that they incorrectly referred to her as a flight nurse in the title, but then used her correct afsc in the body of the article.
Congrats all around. People are finally starting to be recognized over a year later.
Huh. You’re right, she’s a CCATT nurse, not a flight nurse, which makes this even more significant because she’s getting a DFC as non-aircrew.
What a boss
I'm waiting to see if more get awarded. There were people there who did way more than she did, the rest of the CCATT and AE crew she was with for starters.
I know decs are all about who you know and who you can get to advocate for you, but damn, her doc and RT are probably a little upsetti spaghetti right now.
Well, it sounded like a lot of people got split up from their teams during the evacuation? Did she actually have a full team there?
Yes. She was with her full ccatt and ae team at all times. None of the ccatt, ae, aelt, or qcr teams were separated for any period of time.
Yes.

Yea it's going to be a huge deal too. We have our governor, senators, reps, the DANG all coming over our drill this weekend. Trying to avoid our HQ building at all costs lmao.
