00:06.635 --> 00:09.810
The marines are underwater with their
boots and -- or taking out of their

00:09.943 --> 00:13.227
comfort zone, in a sense letting
a lot harder for them to swim.

00:13.313 --> 00:16.341
It's normally the first time these marines
have been in the pool since boot

00:16.341 --> 00:19.541
camp and they haven't been training to it.
It makes it a lot harder for them to

00:19.669 --> 00:20.928
adapt in the water.

00:22.711 --> 00:25.344
It's to prepare them in case they're
in a combat situation.

00:25.659 --> 00:30.097
If they're on a ship or if out in the
water conducting amphibious operations

00:30.357 --> 00:34.816
and they have to abandon ship with their
equipment on, they need to be confident

00:34.816 --> 00:38.138
that they can get themselves out of
the gear and on to the surface.

00:38.635 --> 00:41.792
I'm looking for them to hit the wickets,
make sure that they are capable of

00:41.792 --> 00:46.421
performing each individual event, as well
as they need to be confident in the water.

00:46.656 --> 00:49.301
It doesn't really matter what the training
is, but if marines are getting in

00:49.536 --> 00:52.928
the pool and doing something they're
uncomfortable within training to,

00:53.077 --> 00:57.344
you know, press themselves and get better
at it, I think that's best scenario for

00:57.536 --> 00:58.892
training that you can make.
