I was originally going to pm Carebear, but I figured you guys could help me too! Here's my story.
Pretty soon here I have to pass a PST (physical screening test) for the "rescue swimmer" portion of my Navy contract. Well its not the pst that I'm so worried about, as the basic requirements are pretty simple. The trouble is, I'm not a very good swimmer...:eusa_doh: I've had to bust my behind to get where I am, which is not that good. I'm terrified of the jumps. You know, the hovering helo jumps that make a rescue swimmer a rescue swimmer?
Through my lurking here for a while I've learned that Carebear is a Marine, along with some others that did time and like to swim and was hoping for some advise or techniques that really helped you guys get through some of this stuff. Thanks guys!
