On November 2nd, Yuma Explorer Post 8245 held their Completion of Probation Ceremony. Our explorers have been hard at work since mid-June and now, that hard work has paid off. Just as Watch Commander G. Diaz said, “This is only the beginning.” Thank you to our Yuma Sector Honor Guard for being a part of this special ceremony for our explorers. Thank you Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge J. Schweitzer and Watch Commander (and former Yuma Explorer) G. Diaz for being our guest speakers. Congratulations to all our explorers. We started with 19, and 15 made it to the finish line. We would also like to congratulate the explorers who received recognition awards. Rising Star Award - B. PerezAcademic Award - A.

TCCC-Tactical Combat Casualty Care. Our explorers learned how to use a tourniquet, how to stop a bleed, how to clear and maintain an open airway, and so much more! Post 8245 did great! The advisors are very proud!

Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA): a thin, flexible tube that's inserted into the nose to treat upper airway obstruction and keep the airway open. 👃🏼 🫁 #BorderPatrol #explorers #borderpatrolexplorer #emt #firstresponders #airwayhealth #mentorship #training #handsonlearning #HonorFirst #medical

Today Post 8245 conducted their monthly PT test. They need to run a mile and a half under 15 minutes, sprint 220 yards under 46 seconds, do 20 pushups under a minute and 25 sit-ups under a minute. Every week we notice improvement from the Explorers in PT! In the classroom they took a quiz based off information they learned last week. The explorers were also given a class on radio communications. As always, we finish strong! 💪🏼Great job, Explorers! We’ll see you next week!

Post 8245 had their first scenario today! It was a great learning experience for all. The Explorer trainees then had an introductory class into Border Patrol’s checkpoint operations. As always, we finish strong! 💪🏼 Great job today Post 8245. See you next week! HONOR FIRST! 🇺🇸
Just because PT is over doesn’t mean it’s finished! Pushups and pull ups to end our meeting. Which explorer will be able to do more pull ups than Agent Fig? We’ll find out. Great job today Post 8245. We’ll see you next week! 💪🏼🇺🇸

Yesterday was Post 8245’s third meeting. We always start the day bright and early at 0730 hours with a timed mile and a half run. After only 3 weeks, the Yuma Advisors are very proud that most of our explorers have significantly dropped their run times anywhere from 40 seconds to a whole minute and a half! After a run, who doesn’t love a mat room session? (NOT PICTURED) the classroom and practical scenario session on Saturday consisted of handcuffing and searching including giving proper commands to a suspect. Additionally, our explorers sat through a PowerPoint presentation learning about Graham V. Connor (1989), the 4th amendment, and an introduction to Border Patrol’s Use of Force policy.
