As for preparing for CDQC, either you can sack it up or you cannot. Most guys quit on themselves in the water because they are uncomfortable. Diving in the military sucks. That is just the nature of the beast and why nobody wants to do it.

What does my response to the kid who stepped on his crank have to do with your experience in the Navy or as a CDQC Q'd guy?? apparently you took my comment personal. Believe it or not there are guys in the Army who grew up in the surf playing water polo into college , competitive swimming and diving that absolutely hate the egomaniacal image driven CDQC types they have seen.
