under water egress training.

That isnt the best seat either unless it is the first or third dunk. Almost as bad a mine.:laff:
I had to wait until last (greatest count) before unbuckling(fourth dunk) ...so I thought mine was the worst seat:p

..and if MikeD would have kicked you, you would still be seeing fuzzy!...

But you were so close to the door you big sissy :pirate:
I see fuzzy quite frequently. But I have a NAMI WHAMMY coming up soon so I better not jinx myself. If I pass that then:beer:

the front right was the last to egress, then you have to go around the seat to directly behind...so I can't remember how long we counted then add per each occupant...so if it was 10 seconds, then the two in back counted 20 then your seat counted 30 then I counted 40 before unbuckling... then around to the left and then out...it was slightly tilted to the right which is why I crashed into the top of the door:insane: (thank goodness for flight helmets)

beer:beer:
 
I too got the boot to the face several times when we did it. Key is grabbing the boot and dragging them down with you :)

Sadly the dilbert dunker has sailed off into the sunset, though they have a much more basic contraption now which sort of does the same thing (you go in sideways and upside down rather than flipping forward)

I think the whole thing about the dunker was the water up the nose...I don't think you could ride it without getting a high pressure sinus wash, compliments of the US Navy:laff:

Intial for me was 92. Refresher for me was in 97... I think I counted by ten's :rotfl:

LMAO on your survival tactic. Dilbert was all bark and no bite by far the most intimidating but easy as pie.
 
Thanks for all the tips. I used to do quite a bit of white water kayaking, so im hoping the upside down under water thing wont be completely foreign. I'll be sure to report back with my thoughts/freak outs. :)
 
Sounds similar to the kinds of training we did for submarine escape. It was certainly an experience. We always got to play with neat stuff in the military.

How about the damage control/fire trainer thing? Got to do that as a mid.....got pretty hectic IIRC

Now THAT was always a blast! Getting set on fire and doused with high pressure hoses while trying to smash a small wooden bung into a fractured bulkhead was always top of my list!
