ROTC Water Survival

I'm going all historical here, but what's a blog without some entries out of order. On Feb 22nd, the photography class went to go cover MIT's ROTC Water survival training.



They had to jump from the high board, fully clothed, blindfolded, with a rifle.

And learn to use their pants as flotation devices. (the trick? get the pants off, tie the end of each leg into a knot and whoosh it over your head while treading water, kind of like playing parachute a kid. Tie a knot in the waist and put the inflated pants around your head like a life preserver)
