Requirements for Rescue Wing Duty

1. You must be recommended by either the Weyrleader, Weyrleader 2nd, and by the Wing Leader of your current Thread fighting wing.

2. You must have Impressed at least 5 Turns ago or be an exceptional rider (which will be determined by the Weyrleader, Weyrleader 2nd and the Wing Leader of your current wing assignment.) Please keep in mind that this restriction is included as though we were in reality putting together a team of riders and dragons who MUST be in top form with exceptional flying skills. The additional clause, so that no-one will be left out, is included so that any who do not meet the five year Impression requirement can still attempt to join the Rescue Wings. We do not wish to discriminate against anyone. 

3. Riders with healer training (including dragon healing) are being sought after for the Rescue Wings. Others, who do not have prior medical training, must pass the basic medical tests that Master Maben will prepare for us before acceptance into the Rescue Wings. Medical training will be included during the Rescue Wing Training period, but these tests will help determine whether or not you are suited for Rescue Wing duties. PLEASE NOTE that this is fictionally done, so please do not think you must actually pass these tests.

4. Dismissal from the Rescue Wings will occur if any rider carelessly jeopardizes the life of himself, dragon, wingmates or those they are assisting which includes violation of any of the guidelines set forth in the Rescue Wing Guide.

Miscellaneous Information

1. If you are a wing leader or wing second for Thread fighting wings you will not fly rescue missions during Threadfall. You are needed in your regular wings. Your patrol duties and on-call status will not interfere with Threadfall duties.

2. Plenty of rest and nourishment is required before patrol duties and if you are scheduled to be on-call.

3. Alternating teams (wings) will be on-call every 8 hours so that when an emergency takes place a team will be ready at all times.

4. Vigilance, alertness, quick thinking and a clear head are essential for responding to emergency situations and extreme weather conditions. For instance, alcohol, should not be consumed while you are on call. If you are under the influence of alcohol or medication, or if you are ill, you should notify your Rescue Wing Leader and report your impairment so that a replacement can be found.

5. Schedules will be made available each turn as soon as possible before the Rescue Wings begin training.
