JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –

The aerospace physiology technicians of the 12th Operations Support Squadron at Joint base San Antonio-Randolph work tirelessly to ensure the health and safety of our flying Airmen. Aerospace physiology technicians are responsible for priming pilots and aircrews with the essential skills they need to prevent/handle in-flight emergencies.

Using their expertise in human factors, analytics, and performance, in addition to the technical knowledge of oxygen systems and high-altitude simulators, these Airmen prepare our flyers for the most extreme circumstances through classroom and hands-on instruction.
