LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. -- Maj. Russell Hall, 71st Fighter Squadron, Staff Sgt. Cody Lefever, 1st Operations Support Squadron, Capt. Brian Nash, 94th Fighter Squadron and Capt. Brandon Zuercher, 27th Fighter Squadron, conduct water survival training Sept. 18. Sergeant Lefever, a Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape specialist, led the session. The SERE training teaches students how to survive if they egress over water. Students learn how to endure life in a 20-man raft, a seven-man raft and a one-man raft, as well as how to best utilize a survival kit. The course covers proper signaling, desalinating water, finding sustenance and how to properly release from a parachute drag. The training also includes experiencing a simulated rescue by hoisting students from the water to an HH-60 Jayhawk rescue helicopter providing support out of Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C. Pilots are required to complete water survival training every three years. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Christopher L. Ingersoll)
