I endured an underwater egress
training session last Wednesday conducted for the benefit of those likely passengers and flight crew aboard any Marine rotary flight (helicopter). The link above features the staff that shepherded me and my cohorts through this training. I found another video out there produced for UK television viewers
for their version of this training for the Sea King, which is more explanatory. This is not unlike Humvee egress training that you may have endured or heard of. To date, this was the most terrifying experience of my life, especially the attempts with the added task of releasing one's body armor upside down, and under water. Oh, and blindfolded.
