U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City Wednesday it was swim, raft and survival in West Bay, Thursday it was Shallow Water Egress Trainer (SWET) at the Civic Center Pool, simulating getting out of the helicopter after ditching in the water and flipping over (high weight is the enemy of stability). We do this every year and also train on the helicopter-size dunker every 5 years. This is great training - while under water you are breathing off a small scuba-like apparatus and performing simulated tasks such as cutting seat belt straps, losing and reacquiring your regulator mouthpiece and dealing with blocked exits. Much better video today...
