See DAY I page 4 FAMILY CAMPOUT BY ANNE MORRISON Hilltop Times staff A s a once-active duty then Reservist Airman and now Hill civilian, Matt Kimber, didn't think the mandatory CPR classes he took every year during Self Aid Buddy Care would ever come in handy. And then April 1 came along. Kimber's dad, DelRoy, went into cardiac arrest halfway to the doctor's office for what DelRoy thought was the worst indigestion he had ever felt. If Matt hadn't been there to immediately begin CPR, his dad would not have survived, according to the doctors. Despite learning his life saving skills during his time serving, Matt, a Copper Cap program contract specialist, remembered the steps and for it, received the Command Civilian Award for Valor at the base Aug. 5. "When I was doing the training, I thought to myself, well, this is boring, ALEX R.
