Happy Halloween! Walking around today, you might hear a lot of recorded, ghoulish screaming. Today it's supposed to be all in fun. But there are some people who hear those screams a lot — and whose job is to create hellish situations all year around. Casey Miner and Sandhya Dirks tell us more in this installment from The Specialist.
KATIE JORDAN: At first when I first started this job I was a little conflicted because...well I don’t want to train people on how to go to war...And then I saw what was actually going on is that war is going to happen...And so what we get to do is teach them how to be safe, how to save people’s lives, and how to come home safely...That’s the cool part of the job for me…you think about all those people who don’t get to come home. And if we can help with that, it’s really really important I think.
