5 weeks of
learning to jump into the water and rescue people. Hell day was Hell!
Got through about 4 weeks of school when an instructor caught me by surprise
and I swallowed a lot of water. After that someone else grabbed me and I
punched them out (in the water). They dropped me for 'fear of physical
contact in the water'. Worked the X-ray dept at the Branch Clinic for
another month before transferring.
Crabbing for the first time with Ed Fusco and his wife. Pam Cook, I'm sorry. Car pulled out in front of me on base and I hit them while riding my motorcycle. Hurt. Got caught in a lightning storm on my bike too! "JAWS" was released and we went to see it as a class. Mostly caue we were told we ought not to. Jax Beach the next day, got drunk and swam among the shark fishermen (like we knew!) |
