WATER SURVIVAL TRAINING AT THE GRAFENWöHR CITY POOL
Zero-dark-thirty Monday morning . . . rise and shine, Sunshine! Uniform is ACU with swimming suit. Breakfast is an MRE of your choice . . . whatever is next to be handed out (cadets learn what tastes good and how to trade for it!) By 0700 eveyone is at the pool learning how to float in clothing . . . then they test their personal courage by jumping off a 5-meter platform into deep water! That's not easy and frequently not everyone does it . . . this year EVERYONE jumped . . . all 116 cadets!! The entire exercise has to be completed by 0930 so the pool can be opened for the swimming pool regulars. It's a beautiful day to be in Grafenwöhr!
Once we are finished at the pool, Company A heads off to Lake Grafenwöhr, while Company B heads to Land Navigation Course North.
