FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. – Ross Kilbride, Combat Rescue Officer/Pararescue Indoctrination course instructor at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, hoses CRO candidates here with ice-cold water to break their concentration. The six-day course, the second phase of the selection program, is a stream of physical, mental and psychological evaluations designed to train candidates to lead combat operations as direct combatant commanders. Eight of 19 candidates completed the program and were selected as Combat Rescue Officers. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Connie L. Bias)
