    U.S. Air Force Airman Corban La Quey, center, 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department firefighter rookie, gets helped into his decontamination training suit as his breathing apparatus gets checked by fellow firefighters as part of the new “Rookie Academy” program at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Aug. 27, 2024. The Rookie Academy is an intense training program put together by Staff Sgt. Connor Nance, 100th CES Fire Department assistant chief of training, and taught by multiple experienced firefighters. It condenses four months of training for new firefighters into three weeks. As part of the program, new rookie firefighters learn equipment use and life-saving techniques the same way, rather than being split with different trainers.
