102.1 State the three objectives of first aid.
a. To save lives.
b. To prevent further injury.
c. To preserve the victims vitality and resistance to infection.
102.2 State the three methods of controlling bleeding.
a. Direct pressure
b. Elevation
c. Indirect pressure
102.3 Identify an example of a pressure point.
a. FACIAL - Start at the angle of the jaw and run your finger forward along the lower edge of the jawbone until you feel a small notch.
b. SUBCLAVIAN (SHOULDER AND UPPER PART OF ARM)- Press down against the first rib or forward against the collarbone.
c. BRACHIAL (BETWEEN UPPER ARM AND ELBOW) - Apply digital pressure on the inner (body) side of the arm, about halfway between the shoulder and the elbow.
d. RADIAL ULNAR (HAND) - Pressure at the wrist. If possible hold the arm up in the air, the bleeding will be relatively easy to stop.
e. ILIAC (GROIN) - Apply digital pressure in the middle of the groin, so as to control bleeding from the thigh. The artery lies over the bone and quite close to the surface, so pressure with your fingers may be sufficient to stop bleeding.
f. ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR TIBIAL (FOOT) - As in the case of bleeding from the hand, elevation is very helpful in controlling bleeding from the foot.
g. SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL (TEMPLE OR SCALP REGION)- Use your finger to compress the main artery to the temple against the skull bone, at the pressure point just in front of the ear.
h. COMMON CAROTID (NECK)- Apply pressure at the muscle. Press inward and slightly backward, compressing the main artery of the side of the neck against the bones of the spinal column.
I. BRACHIAL (LOWER ARM) - Controlled by applying pressure at the elbow
102.4 Describe the symptoms and treatment for shock.
SYMPTOMS
a. Eyes - vacant, lackluster, pupils dilated
b. Breathing - shallow, irregular
c. Skin - pale, cold, moist
d. Nausea
e. Pulse - weak or absent
102.5 Describe the three classifications of burns.
a. FIRST DEGREE - A burn which reddens the skin.
b. SECOND DEGREE - A burn that raises a blister. These burns usually heal in 2 weeks with local treatment.
c. THIRD DEGREE - When the skin is destroyed and some deep second degree burns these burns take much longer to heal and to avoid disfiguring scars, skin grafts may be required.
Treatment of burns
a. First Degree burn - Flush with cool water until pain subsides. Apply loose, moist, sterile dressing and bandage.
b. Second Degree burn - Cleanse the burned area gently with warm water and hexachlorophene soap, and rinse with normal saline. Dirt, grease and dead "shaggy" tissue should be removed. Apply a sterile bandage of dry or slightly impregnated with petroleum gauze. In some cases, a pressure dressing may be applied consisting of additional layers of sterile gauze covered by padding. The dressing is then enclosed with an elastic bandage. Small first degree burns may be treated with an anesthetic ointment.
c. Third Degree burn - They’ re treated the same as the preceding type for about 14 days. Inspection at that time will disclose the third degree areas that need skin grafts.
102.6 State the symptoms and treatment for the following heat related injuries: [ref. a, ch. 20]
a. Heat exhaustion - The victim’s skin will be flush, sweaty, and cool to the touch. Place the victim in a shaded area and give water.
b. Heat stroke - Heat stroke is the condition that progresses past heat exhaustion. In this condition, the body has lost its ability to cool itself through its sweating mechanism. The victim will not be sweating, and will be hot to the touch. The victim’s body temperature is over limits.
102.7 State the difference between an "open" and "closed" fracture. [ref. a, ch. 20]
OPEN - One in which there is an open wound in the tissue and skin. This type of break and wound is also referred to as a compound fracture. Sometimes the wound is made when a sharp end if the broken bone pushes out through the flesh; sometimes it is made by an object that penetrates from the outside. Open fractures are far more serious than closed fractures. They usually involve extensive tissue damage and are likely to be infected.
CLOSED - One in which the injury is entirely internal, that is, the bone is broken, but there is no break in the skin. Closed fractures are sometime converted into open fractures by rough or careless handling of the victim.
102.8 State the following as applied to electrical shock:
a. Personnel rescue - Rescuing a person who has received an electrical shock is likely to be difficult and dangerous. You must not touch the casualty’s body, the wire, or the object that may be conducting the electricity. Look for the switch and turn off the power immediately. Do not waster too much time hunting for the switch, as every second is important. If you cannot secure the power, you should try to separate the casualty from the wire, or the wire from the casualty, by using an object such as a dry rope, dry clothing, dry broom, etc. If using the uniform “web” belt, ensure the belt is not made of nylon, which will conduct electricity.
b. Treatment - Check the individuals airway, breathing, and circulation, and if necessary, begin CPR immediately and continue until the victim regains a heartbeat and breathing pattern.
102.9 Describe the methods for clearing an obstructed airway. - If the victim is unconscious, tilt the head to the side and wipe the foreign material clear with your fingers. If the victim is conscious, and choking, leave alone. If it is clear that the victim cannot breath, perform the Heimlich maneuver.
102.10 Describe the effects of the following cold weather injuries: [ref. b, ch. 4]
a. Hypothermia - The body is in an environment, usually in water, where it cannot maintain its core temperature. The body is losing heat faster than it can be generated.
b. Superficial frostbite - Damage occurring to the first few layers of skin.
c. Deep frostbite - More serious than superficial frostbite, the skin has frozen in areas well below the first few layers.

103.1 Define the purpose of the Naval Aviation Safety Program. -To enhance operational readiness by reducing the number of deaths and injuries to personnel and losses and damage to material from accidental causes.
103.2 Explain the safety responsibilities of the following personnel:
COMMANDING OFFICER (CO) - The CO shall require that persons concerned are instructed and drilled in all applicable safety precautions and that these are complied with, and that the applicable safety precautions, or extracts there from, are posted in appropriate places. In any instance where safety precautions have not been issued or are incomplete, he shall issue or augment such safety precautions as he deems necessary, notifying, when appropriate higher authorities concerned.
‚ Aviation Safety Officer - Responsible for all things pertaining to aviation safety, whether occuring in flight or on the ground.
ƒ Ground Safety Officer - Responsible for general safety and maintenance related safety.
„ DEPARTMENT HEAD - In support of the CO and his responsibilities the Department Head shall:
1. Keep the CO advised on the status of the units safety program within the department.
2. Perform such accident prevention functions as the CO may assign.
3. Act as the departmental point of contact in coordinating and evaluating the ships/squadron safety program.
4. Ensure correction of all hazardous conditions revealed by safety hazard reports.
5. Maintain a record of accident and safety hazard reports.
6. Maintain direct liaison with the safety officer.
… DIVISION OFFICER (DO) - The DO will be the safety officer for his division. He shall:
1. Keep departmental safety officers advised on the status of the units safety program within the division.
2. Act as divisional point of contact in coordinating and evaluating the unit safety program.
3. Designate a senior petty officer E-6 or above if available, as division safety petty officer.
4. Investigate divisional accidents and near accidents.
5. Ensure that corrective action is taken immediately on hazardous situations revealed by accident and hazard
reports and on recommendations made in accident/injury reports.
6. Ensure that divisional personnel receive accident prevention training.
† Safety Petty Officer - The safety PO is responsible for disseminating safety literature, training divisional personnel, reporting all unsafe conditions/practices within the division, and routing safety and mishap reports as required.
‡ All Hands - Each individual is responsible for knowing, understanding, and observing all safety precautions applicable to his work, work center, work area.
103.3 Explain the functions of the Safety Council/Enlisted Safety Committee.
Safety Council - If the command size is squadron/air station or a larger Aviation Safety Council shall be formed to set goals, manage assets, and review safety related recommendations. Records should be kept of meetings held. The council should review command plans, policies, procedures, conditions, and instructions to corrective recommendations. The aviation, ground, and aeromedical (flight surgeon) safety officers must be standing members of this council.
Enlisted Safety Committee - An Enlisted Aviation Safety Committee shall be formed with representatives from each work center and other designated activities, including Medical Department, AIMD, etc. It shall meet once a month and discuss safety deficiencies and provide recommendations for improved safety practices and promotion of safety awareness. A record of attendance and subjects discussed shall be maintained of these meetings. The commanding officer will respond to all recommendations of this committee in writing, in a timely manner.
103.4 Discuss how the following contribute to aviation mishaps: [ref. d, ch. 3]
a. Human error - Can be either “operator error” or “maintenance related”. Moving an F-14 into the bulkhead, incorrect installation of a radome, directing one aircraft into the path of another, or flying into the water are all examples of “human error”. (To err is human, to really screw up requires the assistance of the navy.)
b. Maintenance and support factors - Lack of proper tools, supervision, facilities, or time to complete maintenance tasks can all contribute to aviation mishaps. The push to “make that flight” can lead to maintenance crews cutting corners, or not inspecting an aircraft to the depth required.
c. Administrative and supervisory factors - Improper supervision, where required, will allow flaws in maintenance practices to go uncorrected.
d. Material failures or malfunctions - Faulty or poorly manufactured materials can cause aviation mishaps.
e. Environmental factors - Poor visibility and inclement weather can contribute to either aerial or ground mishaps.
103.5 Define the following mishap classes: [ref. a, ch. 14]
a. Class A - A mishap resulting in $1,000,000 worth of damage, or the death or permanent disability of an individual.
b. Class B - A mishap resulting in $200,000 to $1,000,000 in damage, a permanent partial disability (ie loss of limb, eyesight, hearing, etc), or the hospitalization of five or more persons.
c. Class C - A mishap resulting in $10,000 to $200,000 worth of damage, or more than 5 lost work days.
d. Class D - A mishap resulting in less than $10,000 worth of damage, or any non-fatal injuries.
103.6 State the objective of the Aviation Gas-Free Engineering Program. - Patterned after the surface navy’s Gas Free Engineering program, the Aviation Gas Free Engineering program was implemented to limit mishaps resulting from persons working on fuel tanks and bladders containing explosive amounts of residual fuel.
103.7 Explain the hazards associated with Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
CATARACTOGENESIS - The biological component of greatest concern is the lens of the eye because exposure of the lens to high intensity microwave can cause cataracts. Current medical evidence indicates that a significant temperature elevation of the lens is required for the initiation of cataractogenesis.
THERMAL EFFECTS - Microwave and radio-frequency heating in specific tissues of the body can produce adverse biological effects. The various body tissues and organs are effected differently by heat produced by micro radiation. Specific effects, other than cataractogenesis have not been determined.
NON THERMAL EFFECTS - In addition to thermal effects, non‑ionizing radiation is known to produce non thermal effects; however, specific biological hazards have not been identified.
103.8 State the purpose of the Laser Safety Hazard Control Program. - Requires the establishment of laser safety and health programs and provides criteria for the protection of personnel from laser radiation. Establishes the Navy standard for laser hazard evaluation, control and protection and provides for medical surveillance and action in cases of suspected overexposure.
103.9 Explain the purpose of a safety stand down. - Used to devote time for safety training, awareness, and enhancement of the command safety climate.
103.10 Discuss the concept of Operational Risk Management (ORM). - The concept of ORM is to identify any potential hazards associated with a planned event, and to put those safe guards in place that would prevent their occurrence. In short, an accident cannot occur where no hazardous conditions exist.
103.11 Explain the following terms as they apply to ORM: [ref. e]
a. Identify hazards - Determine those hazards that may arise during a specific evolution. (ie .. fueling aircraft near areas where hot work is being conducting would create hazards that could be avoided)
b. Assess hazards - Determine those hazards that are inherent in the process of the evolution. (ie ... aircraft fueling operations will always carry with it the risk of fire)
c. Make risk decisions - Determine if the evolution is of such importance that it must be conducted regardless of the risks involved. ie ... there are times when aircraft fueling can be put on hold until hot work is complete; there will be other times when it cannot. The decision would be made based on the importance of the fueling operations at that time.
d. Implement controls - Put in place procedures and safeguards that will reduce the chance of the identified mishaps from occurring.
e. Supervise - Supervision will prevent any breaches of the ORM plan from occurring. The use of an “uninvolved” safety observer is important. That is, a person who has nothing to gain or lose by the breach of these safety controls. I.e. ... a pilot would not be an uninvolved safety observer, as he may be in a hurry to “make the flight”, and would be likely to allow corners to be cut in the interest of making the flight. A better choice would be an AZ, who basically has nothing better to do than sit around anyway.

104.1 Discuss the dual chain of command for operating forces.
The operating forces of the navy consist of fleets, seagoing forces, fleet marine forces, and other assigned Marine Corps forces, the Military Sealift Command (MSC), and other forces as assigned ny the president or SECNAV.
There is a dual chain of command in the operating forces - an operational chain running from the president through the secretary of defense, to a commander of a unified or specified command and then to the assigned operational forces; and an administrative chain running from the SECNAV and the CNO to the operating forces. In some cases, as with the MSC, a portion of the operating forces may be assigned directly under the CNO and outside the unified chain of command.
104.2 Discuss the following as they apply to the operational chain of command:[ref. a, app. A]
a. Unified/specified - A unified command is one in which elements of two or more services operate together to fulfil a single, but very broad mission. These unified commands are the Atlantic Command, Central Command, European Command, Pacific Command, Southern Command, Space Command, Special Operations Commands, Strategic Command, and Transportation Command.
Commanders of these commands are responsible to the president and the SECDEF for accomplishing their assigned military missions and for exercising command authority over assigned forces. The operational chain of command runs from the president to the SECDEF to the unified combatant commander through the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who transmits orders to the commanders.
b. Fleet Commanders - Fleet Commanders are assigned to control the Pacific (CINCPACFLT), the Atlantic (CINCLANTFLT), and European (CINCUSNAVEUR) naval forces. Fleet Commanders in Chief appoint Task Force commanders to carry out assigned missions.
c. Task Force Commander - Task Force commanders, assigned a specific Task Group, carry out specific assignments as directed from the Fleet Commanders. For instance, a Task Force Commander will be assigned to a carrier operating in the
d. Task Unit Commander - A task unit commander is assigned the responsibility of controlling the Task Group elements as defined above.
104.3 Discuss the following as they apply to the administrative chain of Command: [ref. a, app. A; ref. b, ch. 2]
a. Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) - The SECNAV is a civilian, in charge of the Department of the Navy. Under the direction, authority, and control of the Secretary of Defence, the SECNAV is responsible for the policies and control of the Navy, including its organization (or lack thereof), administration, operation, and efficiency. The SECNAV is appointed by the President and approved by the Senate and Congress.
b. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) - The CNO is the Navy's senior military member. As a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the CNO is responsible for keeping the SECNAV informed of JCS activities and is responsible to the president and the SECDEF for duties external to the Navy as prescribed by law.
c. Fleet Commander in Chief (CINC) - Responsible for the overall operation of naval forces within a specific operating theater (ie, CINCLANTFLT and CINCPACFLT, COMSIXTHFLT, etc)
d. Naval Air Force Commander (Type Commander/Aircraft Controlling Custodian) - The Chief of Naval Aviation, Atlantic (CNAL) and Chief of Naval Aviation, Pacific (CNAP) are two of the many Type Commanders. There are additional Type Commanders for the
e. Functional Wing Commander - Functional Wing Commanders, such as CAG-3, are assigned a carrier wing. This wing is assigned to a specific aircraft carrier for an indefinite period of time.
f. Type Squadron Commander - This is the CO of the individual squadrons.
104.4 Discuss the role of the following:
a. Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) - The MCPON is the Navy's senior enlisted member, and is assigned this position for a 3-year tour of duty. The MCPON serves as senior enlisted representative of the Navy, and as senior enlisted advisor to the CNO and Chief of Naval personnel in all matters pertaining to enlisted members and their families.
b. Fleet Master Chief - Functions as the principal enlisted advisor to the fleet commander.
c. Force Master Chief - Functions as the principal enlisted advisor to the Unit commander.
d. Command Master Chief (CMC) - Functions as the principal enlisted advisor to the Commanding Officer.
