Exclamation Swimming

Notice to all future candidates - get in the pool, learn to swim! It should not be a surprise to anyone that there is a swim assessment at SFAS. Do not come all the way to FT Bragg just to nearly drown before you even get to Camp Mackall.

Become a fish! Be as comfortable in water as you are in your rack.

First they...

First they struggle, then they thrash, then they slowly start to sink to the bottom.

I'd tell my guys, "Wait until they stop wiggling, it's easier to peel them off the bottom."
