Recently a new batch of VMFR members have become sector scan technicians by successfully completing a highly technical course involving the study of Sonar properties and their specific uses as they apply to underwater search and rescue operations. These members have also been challenged with learning the appropriate set up, maintenance, and limitations of the related equipment. This involves numerous practical skill sessions and continued education involving both academic study and hands-on competency evaluations. We congratulate these new and refreshing sector scan technicians as they begin and/or continue their journey serving the communities across the state of Maryland with these skills and technologies. These individuals are appreciated for their time and service as 100% volunteer members.
