A brief look at the operations conducted at the USAF Water Survival Training facility. Courses include Over Water Emergency Parachute Training, Under Water Egress and Water Survival.
With the drag machine did it also drop you from higher up? And what about the parachute on top of you did you wear a helmet during that and what was included in each of the three courses?
Omg I am a civilian, my 8 year old & I came across a water survival drill in a book we were reading and wanted to see it in action. I have even MORE respect for you guys than ever before. You are truly our heroes!
I was a strong swimmer, knew exactly what was going to happen, knew I was in a pool...still ended up hyperventilating. Really did a great job with the simulation.
First thing a pilot teaches me is swimming as a little girl as my orphan cousin loving my daddy for all that travel on small jets across the country. Fun it is.
What does the emergency parachute training include? I know water survival is training in the use of life rafts and being rescued by a helicopter and underwater egress training is exactly what it sounds like.

I did all of this at 40 years old at Fairchild. Thank you for allowing me to partake and I will never forget these memories.

I miss this shit
Miss it too brother
And suddenly I dont feel like enlisting anymore
Do i have to do this before or after Undergraduate Pilot Training?
Upgrade Pilot Training? I think it's Undergraduate Pilot Training. And it's after from what I've heard.
Unless your UPT includes over-water flying.
What they don't show is the 12hrs of CBTS you just found out about the night before.
What do you mean I leave soon for this

I love this song
Do you have to do this to be a loadmaster
Yes
I did when I was a loadmaster from 1983-1988.
How was your rt
I don't recall this when I went to SERE, as a loadmaster in 1978. Long time ago. Then, it was called "survival School."
When i was traing here it was really hard u would have to escape and they would drop u it was hard
I love swimming and being in water, but this honestly looks terrifying. Only thing I wouldn’t like about SERE training 😂
Not the only thing lol
