Those three lighting bolts on our patch stand for "Land Sea and Air". So you’ve got a one in three chance of being assigned to a Scuba or water team.
I've know a few SF soldiers that have died from drowning while on active duty. You need to be an animal in the water. If you are a weak swimmer you need to become a strong swimmer. (else john kerry might have to rescue you and I’d sure hate to have that hanging over my head for decades)
The only thing more fun than swimming across Drowning Creek in the dead of winter is first breaking the ice in order to swim it. Ever wonder why they named it "Drowning Creek"?
Become an animal in the water, you want to be the rescuer not the rescue-ee!
Go to your base pool and find a swim instructor.
