(JaiChai) "Water Survival Training"

By JaiChai | (IJCH) Life, People, and Philosophy | 1 May 2022

As a Navy Water Survival Instructor, I ran the Helicopter Underwater Egress course using the U.S. Navy's 9D5 (aka the helo dunker).

Funny story.

During helo dunker training, one marine student panicked when the device inverted underwater - like all ditched, top-heavy helos do in real life.

While I was extracting him from the trainer, he actually but my hand!

Afterwards, when he was safe, dry and calm, he apologized and begged me "make things even"; that is, he wanted me to bite him back.

Lol!

May you and yours be well and loving life today.

In Lak'ech, JaiChai
