Role Playing Sign Up

Role Players (RP) or “actors” are needed to participate in a National Guard emergency response training exercise supporting our Family and Friends who comprise the “Weekend Warrior” or Citizen Soldiers that come to our aid during natural disasters. The exercise will take place on Camp Blanding near Starke, FL on March 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th and we can use your help.

The units of the National Guard responsible for helping in a time of chaos and crisis need training in order to stay fresh, current and motivated. Role Players or “actors” will assist in providing realistic training aimed at purposefully strengthening the team and their mission. National Guard emergency responders will exercise search and rescue, medical trauma treatment and first aid application in order to expand and strengthen communication, coordination and integration. As such, Role Players will be given an application of injury makeup and fake blood to portray various physical injuries and conditions, before going through simulated medical triage and decontamination processes multiple times during the exercise. This will means you will get wet and may have to lay down for extended periods of time “being injured”. The very realistic medical makeup and prosthetics are called Moulage and it is GROSS and fun.

The National Guard seeks diversity among Role Players, including gender, ethnicity, age, body types, disabilities, and foreign language abilities. Participants fluent in American Sign Language are also desired. Priority will be given to those with previous experience with role playing, acting, military, and/or first responder/disaster response experience.
