Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Victoria Hernandez of Beaufort dries a simulated patient Dec. 10 during a First Receiver Operations Training (FROT) at Naval Hospital Jacksonville. Hernandez says,”The FROT course is very beneficial and helps us be prepared and ready for anything. Glad to be a part of something big.” FROT educates Navy Medicine first receivers on life-saving skills required to triage, initiate treatment, decontaminate, and save victims from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and other hazards.
