testimonials

  • "the usaf is dedicated to fras. working toward great power competition initiatives, this course helps us build the confidence and credibility our force desperately lacks as we work to develop the airmen we need for the future fight. pushing firefighters to the edge is critical to understanding internal limitations are just that.... internal, and you can work the problem and get past it."

    -CMSgt Phillip G. Winkelmann, USAF FES Career Field Manager

  • "the usmc recognized that fras meets or exceeds a proficiency gap we discovered in our marines. we made fras a requirement in our training and readiness manual because we recognized the potential increase in combat readiness in the areas of leadership, decision-making under stress, and resilience."

    -MGySgt M. Martinez, USMC FES Career Field Manager

  • "This course is modeled directly after the most highly effective national training courses in the fire protection industry. Although the initial result is making a good firefighter a great firefighter, the true benefit is watching those newly improved firefighters go back home to improve and challenge those around them."

    - CMSgt M. O’Brien, AFRC FES MAJCOM Functional Area Manager
