Greetings, thanks for joining us for today's video.
And this is a part of the "Why Series." We've been exploring a number of different
topics along the lines of why would you consider to be involved in any number of
things. Today's topic is emergency services, and
I couldn't think of a better person to help us address the question of why
would you want to be involved in emergency services than to have John
Desmarais join us. Moose is the director of operations
f at the national level for operations. It includes that whole mission set,
everything that happens within emergency services and operations. So, John, thanks
for joining us and I'd like to get your thoughts in response to folks who are
members, both adult and youth, why should they consider being active in
emergency services? Glad to help, sir. I think the the two main things that we really want
to think about for our members is really for them to be able to contribute back
to their communities They would do so much for emergency services to give back.
Search and rescue: We saved a lot of lives, over here 155 last year,; it's pretty amazing.
We also do a lot of other work in emergency services, like
disaster relief where we're impacting disasters that happen right in our own
communities across the country, And it's not just individual units or wings that
do that. We really do that across all lanes lanes in the entire organization.
And we bring in people from across the country when we need to. So, it's pretty amazing
work. But we have people from all walks of life as well, and they are able to
contribute using all of their skills as well as their backgrounds they have
learned in CAP or from outside of it. We have doctors and lawyers and
pilots and mechanics, you name it. They come from all walks of life that
come to us, and some of them are using those skills in CAP but they also have a
great opportunity to learn new skills with us as well. So in many cases you
have people that are coming to us and they take great
training and then apply it in those missions day to day. And for the cadets,
it's a great opportunity in some cases to learn about a potential career. Some
of them may want to become pilots or go into medicine or become lawyers or any
of the other number of things that we have involvement in our missions that
allow them to keep going forward. That's great. I love some of the points, all the
points that you make. We do have people in CAP from every conceivable walk of
life, and some have skill sets that they bring with them into CAP that are a
good match for emergency services and operations, but for many of us who
perhaps didn't it's an opportunity to learn those skill sets and be part of
that team. We talk a lot about volunteer service and making a
difference for the community state and nation, and in the emergency services
operational realm, there's quite the opportunity for that as well.
And and then, finally, operations and emergency services cover a broad
spectrum of stuff, as there is something for everybody. And you can plug in,
regardless of your skill levels, your time available, and be able to make a
difference as we serve at the community, state and national levels. So, again, I
couldn't think of a better person to share with us on why a person should be
involved in emergency services and operations John, thank you so much for
your time. Thank you, sir, I'm glad to be here.
