COMOX, BC
June 12, 2008 is graduation day for SAR Tech course #41, a newly trained class of Canadian Forces Search and Rescue Technicians (SAR Techs) from the Canadian Forces School of Search and Rescue (CFSSAR).
This graduation marks the culmination of 11 months of intensive training, and is a milestone in the candidate’s careers. Their specialized training includes parachuting, mountain rescue climbing, diving, and paramedic training. They will be posted to Search and Rescue units across the country to implement the training and knowledge they have gained throughout the course.
The graduation class will enter the ceremony by jumping from a CC-115 Buffalo aircraft at a jump altitude of 10,000 ft, with the staff and students jumping in group formations. They will descend to the infield and once on the ground, the jumpers will assemble in two ranks and double up to the edge of the tarmac. Presentation of the SAR Tech Wings and distinctive red beret will follow. The Reviewing Officer for the parade will be Colonel Fred Bigelow, 19 Wing Commander.
