MARMARIS, Turkey – Four Sailors assigned to the “Red Rippers” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 11 saved a Turkish man’s life by administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while on liberty in Marmaris, Turkey, Feb. 10 from the deployed aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65).

checked the man for a pulse and found none, they told nearby pedestrians to call for help. Hockey began to administer CPR while the other three Sailors assisted. When police and medical personnel arrived, the Sailors’ efforts successfully revived the injured man.

The man was rushed to the hospital for further treatment.

Many Sailors learn CPR as part of their Navy training. The Navy also teaches crisis management and how to respond in emergency situations.

“I’ve had CPR training over the course

of the entire time I’ve been in the Navy,” said Hockey. “The whole magnitude of the situation took a few seconds to set in and was a little overwhelming, but I was happy to help.”

The four Sailors’ boss agrees.

“They really made us proud,” said Cmdr.

Daniel Sullivan, the executive officer of VFA-11. “People take CPR training for granted sometimes and don’t believe that they will ever have to use it in a real situation.

These Sailors proved how useful it is, and they made a difference in this man’s life.”
