I talked to Jim last night. He had enjoyed (?!) the day, so he sounded pretty upbeat. A veteran officer came to talk to them. He had served as an officer in World War 2, Korea & Vietnam.
After lunch they took their water survival test. It was a pass/fail for points towards graduation. If you failed, you just didn’t get those points. There were three parts to the test:
1) Jump into the water in full uniform and with some add’l gear. Then swim 15m while keeping your rifle out of the water.
2) Jump off the 3m board, blindfolded with fear & uniform and then swim to the side.
3) Jump into the pool with uniform & gear, take off your uniform & gear while underwater and then come up without it.
He said the swim was easier than he thought. He was nervous on the 3m but said it was better than actually having to look down as you do it! And that the removing of the gear/uniform was easier than he expected.
