 US Army National Guard aviation soldiers know the risks of flying over water and today's training will give them the knowledge and skills needed in case they encounter a sea survival situation. I'm Chief Foreign Officer to Paul Brazinas. I'm part of Detachment 3 Golf Company 126 Aviation Regiment and I'm a 153 Mike or a UH-60 pilot. Today we're doing what's known as a dunker training. It's over water survival training. It's also often referred to as helicopter over water survival training or host and it's to prepare us for you know the unlikely event of having to land in the water ditch our aircraft get out safely. So my name is Specialist Daniel Pomerance, 68 whiskey flight medic. It's a Detachment 1 company G 1st of the 189 aviation. I'm medivac detachment. The point of injury in a facility transport, go to patients in the field and pick them up, extricate them to the next higher level of care. I'm a 15 tango which is a Blackhawk crew chief so I sit in the back of Blackhawks and make sure we don't run into things and I'm with the 126 medivac. We do a lot of log runs between O'ahu where we're stationed and Big Island, Maui, Kauai, other places and for long stretches of those flights we are over water. This is the kind of training you'd like to have if you're flying over water and and the worst should happen you have to land in the water. Reporting from Marine Corps Base Hawaii, I'm Army Staff Sergeant Brian Ng.
