GLOC. The transition from normal consciousness to a state of unconsciousness that results when blood flow to the nervous system under G is reduced below critical levels to support conscious function.
If students in Transition (TX) courses or Specialized Officer Courses (SOC) demonstrate problems with G-performance while at Holloman AFB, GRIM program definitions, courses of action and control measures may be utilized at the discretion of the Fighter Squadron (FS)/Commander (CC) or FS/Director of Operations (DO).
