An NCO attending the NCO Academy reports to his instructor that he feels as though he is dying when he thinks about having to give his speech. Which type of panic attack might the NCO be experiencing?
- A.
Expected
- B.
Unexpected
- C.

This is different from an expected panic attack, which would occur in anticipation of a situation but not necessarily tied to a specific event. It is also different from an unexpected panic attack, which occurs without any apparent trigger. Finally, situationally predisposed panic attacks are more likely to occur in certain situations but are not necessarily bound to them.Rate this question:

- A.
Highest ranking enlisted mental health tech
- B.

- C.
Installation commander
- D.

C. Installation commanderExplanation
The installation commander is responsible for ensuring the establishment of at least one TSR team at each active duty Air Force installation with a MTF. This means that it is the installation commander's duty to make sure that there is a TSR team present at every installation with a medical treatment facility. The other options, such as the highest ranking enlisted mental health tech or TSR Team chief, may have important roles within the TSR team, but they do not have the overall responsibility of ensuring the establishment of the team at each installation. Similarly, the highest ranking privileged life skills provider does not have the authority to ensure the establishment of the TSR team.Rate this question:
