Time is moving very slowly now that im so close to leaving, yesterday and today, i was at this dunk tank thing that simulates a helicopter crash in the water that flips over, so you have to find the exit, pop out the window, undo your seatbelt, find the window again, and swim out, all while your underwater and upside down, your chances of survival ( Read more... )

thankfully ours is only one day long. but i'm one of those special cases that has to do things totaly foreign to atleast 4 times before getting it right. so durring every step of the training i had to repreat over and over and over before moving on. cause i don't know about you but my brain just can't grasp the consept of breathing under water. than we had to do it upside down. than the worse is going under without the respirator, clearing the mouthpiece, purging the hose and start breathing.(we wern't allowed to pinch our nose so all the water rushes into your nasal cavity) than do it all over again upside down. than you have to repeat the whole process while strapped into a chair in a vessel that flips upside down. worse day of my life. but we got a cool ID that permits me to carry an 02 tank!
