Water Survival Training

[C/Cool]

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anybody knew of any wings that offered regular training for this qualification. I am interested in this subject and am looking for somewhere to do this. I haven't heard anything about training out of VAWG for this and just wanted to know if y'all know anything.
Thanks.

The Water Survival Training is typically for Aircrews who anticipate flying over water outside the glide range from land.

As a Cadet, if you are under 18 you may not be eligible because you can't be mission aircrew.  I would always allow anyone to train provided we have the space priority going to Mission Aircrew qualified and trainees first.

You probably haven't heard about it in the Virginia Wing, because we haven't held one in quite some time.  Ask your Squadron Commander or Emergency Services Officer.   I know that there is motion in the Virginia Wing to try to get this set up soon.  They are having issues getting a Pool that is willing to let them host this.  There are a few venues in the works.

For most anybody wanting to do water survival training, I usually prompt them to just take good old fashioned swimming lessons from the American Red Cross or YMCA.

Yeah, but you'll miss the excitement and glamour of Oklahoma City. Wait....no...you're on the right track....

Way back when I was a cadink when dinosaurs roamed the earth... I went through the Air Force's water survival course when it was at Homestead AFB. Fast forward 35 years and it's interesting to know that my current boss was stationed at the water survival school around the time I went through!
