• I was Hoist Rescued by...
I’m in my upper sixties now, but when I was a teenager, my brother and I took SCUBA lessons. We drove the instructor crazy because we were excellent swimmers and snorkelers, absolutely no fear of the water. Would practice/compete at treading water for hours at a time. Could hold my breath for 3 minutes and actively free dive for over two. To this day, wish I had joined the Navy or Coast Guard. Would have loved doing this test.
Thumbs up👍 water survival training is demanding and fun to finish!
Great opportunity, that. Hope you had fun & learned something! Cheers
That looks fun from the safety of behind this little screen
Nice uniform, Lt. Chops! Oh, wait. I don't know Coast Guard rank. Lieutenant Junior Grade, maybe?
I was in the Marines, but I still wouldn't come into this overestimating my ability.
Looks like fun! I was a navy rescue swimmer, the under water egress was my favorite in the helo dunker
Don't you wish you could have been a USCG AST ("rescue swimmer")?!? 😉😂✌️
@@gus473 hahaha i totally went to the coast guard recruiter and it was 9 months to go to basic and then they explained how it would take 2 years of service then i could go to rescue swimmer school. So i talked to the navy guys and they got me in right away with a swimmer contract. In Hindsight i should have gone to BUDs first when i was young instead of when i was done with my first contract. I just didnt know what i wanted at the time 🤣
You da man!
Was a HH3F flight mechanic. After the swer chair, the dunker. Oh yeh.
Hey, come take me flying!
That looks ridiculously easy 😂
The dude I was training with didn't make it through 😉
@@FlightChops was he made of lead and big macs?
75 yard swim!!!?!? I have to swim 175 yds for my boy scout swim test tomorrow
Wait seriously? 75 yard swim and a 2 minute tread water? That's like the test to be able to swim in the deep end of a pool
With full gear and you have to pass the SWEAT chair test.
Swimming in boots is no joke
SWET chair - Shallow Water Egress Trainer
