Jim Norman Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thankfully it was only training. And hopefully they learned from it. Was this a failure of this a failure of the coxswain or of the planners that sent them in a low tide to a muddy beach? Funny in one respect, tragic in others Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasmap Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thankfully it was training and that is what training is for but when we instruct during scenarios we NEVER allow the students to quit during the training. You will fight how you train. When a problem is presented, work through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasOPM Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 That was too funny. I was impressed that they worked through it and kept their sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino_aki Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 If that had been a "hot" beach they'd've been toast. Glad it was just training, but the opening scenes to "Saving Private Ryan" did come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 It's kind of odd that they all went into the only spot that was deep mud. You can see that there is solid surface all around the hole that they all jumped into... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrispies Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 You can hear the folks running the camera laughing underneath the music, and of course the camera was waiting for them. I'd put money down that somebody promised a case of beer to the pilot and someone behind the cameraman was waving him in to juuuuust the right spot so that somebody's favorite squad got the royal treatment.

JThompson Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Gotta give them credit though... that stuff was nasty and when each when went down the muzzle was up and clear of the mud; not an easy task with that muck. I think someone was having fun with that squad for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
