I worked in Marine Corps Aviation Logistics and had many friends who were air crew on helicopters (MAG-29)...according to them, anyone who says they are not nervous are complete liars. lol Bc the brain's self-preservation is a powerful force...but the key to being a Marine is overcoming our fears to accomplish the mission. Great job guys!! This video should be added to their training schedule.
Part of "overcoming" fear is recognizing and admitting that it's there. Then facing it. The fear doesn't go away, you don't "overcome" it, you work with it. You work through it. It's far more strong to say, "yes, I'm afraid" and then facing it than to lie and say you have no fear. "No fear" is bullshit and gets people killed.
Agree 100%
The guys who admitted fear and still jumped into the pool without question truky embodied the Marine spirit. If you think about it in order to be courageous you must first also be a little scared. If there's no fear it requires no courage to overcome the obstacle. The gentleman in the video who jumped in without being able to swim is an inspiration to me. He will go very far in life.
Did you ever swim in a large pool and did you ever try to hold your breath and dive to the bottom (trying to touch the floor 8ft down or so)? Every time I did that, my ears would pop in and I would feel fairly intense pressure up my nose trying to force water into my sinuses , my eustachian canal or my lungs. It hurts for a second but since you were holding your breath from the surface, you can just right yourself and rapidly ascend those 8 ft and feel fine. Now imagine the opposite. Now imagine doing that 20ft down.
The Marine who said something like " you're gonna die someday" resonated with me so much with my time and deployments in the Army. It's the thought process to keep you sane when every day could very well be your last.
>cant swim
>joins the Marines
Son, you're about to learn REAL fast lol.
Yea i thought there was a swimming proficiency requirement, no?
@@andrewjohnson396 there’s a basic water survival qualification that we all have to do, but the only people who have any trouble with that are the guys that had never swam before. This isn’t even a whole lot like normal swimming though. Like he said in the video, you literally just have to stay calm and move without panicking.
I came to the comments just for this
Yep
Swimming is helpful but not totally necessary for Navy or Marines, simply floating much more helpful. Swimming brings up the question of where ya gonna swim to? Nearest land may be a thousand miles away. If you can float and as the old guy said floating is natural then you can splash your way over to something floating, ( that is in the event of a sinking). If you happen to fall overboard unobserved, well, you're screwed anyway.

We trained that in a car and my colleague was almost killed by a team member who was in full out panic mode. Never underestimate what people in a panic will do when they are fighting for survival.
I'm replying and didn't even read the comment, I did this because everyone wants someone to reply
My parents were life guards and they learned that same thing in training. Someone in panic can completely endanger even the most seasoned pro 😢
as part of basic scuba training we had to put each other into a full on panic underwater. You cant blame that team member for what they did in panic mode, most of their brain was shut down.
am i the only one who can’t watch these without feeling like they’re drowning

Where was this video when I started watching your videos? It's been hidden from my view until today in November 2020.
I'm a 65-year-old man, 66 in January, and I have to tell you, this was one of the most intense videos I've ever watched, and that includes a debriefing video from Vietnam where 13 US armed forces service members started out, and only 3 survived, and we had to watch death happen in front of our eyes.
Why was this more intense? In war, there is death. It's there. Training exercises aren't supposed to be fatal. But that one could have been if those marines had been on their own.
But what got to me? When you, Destin, talked about life's anchors. That was epic.
Thank you for bringing me back to my anchors, which include my sweetheart of 43 years who means more to me than life itself. And of course, what you alluded to, truth, or for us, Christ, the rock of ages and the One and Only Way.
God bless you!
My mom flew helicopters for over a decade, I've always known this, but seeing the sort of training she had to go through really puts it in perspective for me. She's way more badass than I ever thought.

This is a great video. In the early 1970s as a USAF helicopter pilot I had orders transferring me to a unit in Hawaii while I was attending the Command and Staff College. As part of my courses I began researching helicopters ditching at sea, preparing for my own survival in case of an emergency in my future job. Realizing the seriousness of disorientation under water, I wrote two articles about escaping from submerged helicopters. Both articles were published in military magazines before formal escape training as shown in this video became available. Dan Nicholson, LtCol, USAF Ret.
After 3 years I still come back to these older videos and still learn things every time I watch them!
Thank you Destin for helping us get smarter every day!
My nose started burning just thinking about taking water in through the nose😑😑🤷♂️
Burning? Weird feeling to associate with cold water. It's a super weird feeling having your nostrils full of water but you can totally get used to it.
Yeah my nose burns really bad too, cold or warm
Incog Spectator I got used too that swimming in school
Tyler Norby Noo it burnss
It does burn, like a chemical burn rather than just heat
My anxiety would be on another level, I would’ve forgot what to do, would’ve been panicking. I would probably die. I’m glad I don’t have any intentions on taking a job as a Marine.
Honestly, it's really not as bad as it may seem. I did dunker training in preparation to go on an aircraft carrier a few years back. It's actually quite a fun experience unless you are terrified of water. What you need to remember is, as military, we are programmed in basic training to follow drills and commands. Not only that, it's 10 seconds to do the drills or the master diver gets in and whips you to the surface.
You'd be amazed at what you can do when you're put into a high pressure situation.
S O F T T E A R S after the first time you do it, it’s not that bad
The whole point is to confront your fears, alot of people think this way, just power through!!
Niftyszn Haha , wish I could . I’ll just stick to the military though .
Same with me
8:41 Anybody else thinking of that scene in Mission Impossible: Fallout with Soloman Lane in the truck underwater??
Exactly
Remember doing this with my Marines, good times, Doc.
The first time I went surfing, I had just driven 3 days by myself across the country. I went to a surf shop and picked up a board. After some exhausting minutes learning stuff, I finally grabed a wave. It was a little bigger than I first though and it sent me flying forward into the water. It absolutely crushed me, shot me down to the bottom, and I remember my leg touching some rocks as I tumbled. The leash on the my ankle pulled my leg in the direction the board was headed and I had no idea where I was. There was no "up". Panic set in as I didn't have a chance to get a real breath before I entered the water. I didn't know where I was. I didn't know how to surface, I thought I was going to drown. Then suddenly I had this moment of clarity. I just told myself to sit still at the bottom, be calm, wait. I remember opening my eyes and looking up at the massive crashing wave above me, but where I was it was calm and quiet. I told myself I wasn't going to run out of breath immediately, so I took a moment to figure out the situation. I just relaxed and waited for everything to pass. I looked around again, the water above was calm. I swam up, grabbed my board, and headed for shore. I still think of this moment when I get overwhelmed by stuff. How I was able to just sit back and analyze the situation. This was one of the scariest moments of my life while I was entering the water, only to turn into one of the calmest I can remember to this day.
Thank you for sharing that.
How did your eyes survive the salt water?
infirmux our tears are already a pretty salty solution, opening your eyes in the ocean doesn’t really hurt. At least for me. Try it out!
salt water doesn't hurt my eyes, at least not for the first hour or so.
fresh river/dam water (with mud in it) hurts far more.

It is simple, but effective.
Did this once every 4 years during my time in the Navy. I was always very comfortable in the water. Initial qual was fun, along with the dilbert dunker. My last trip through the helo dunker just prior to retirement wasn’t so fun. The new device has different a different harness release. When the motion stopped I released the harness or so I thought. I attempted to leave the seat and it felt like some part of my gear was caught. Tried a few times but couldn’t get loose. I was upside down and blindfolded. After the emergency retract I find out one point of the five point harness did not release.
Just did the offshore oil rig version this today and seeing the video beforehand really helped me! Thank you Destin!

That dark humor is what I miss about the Corps. We had a guy named valdivia. We went skydiving once.

Thank you so much Dustin for sharing your experience it's so exciting ,I'm also getting ready to take this course
All the best and love and respect for the military
Somewhat recently one of those tourist helicopters crashed in the water and people drowned and it baffled me how they couldn't get out, but it all makes sense now.
That unfortunate incident happened only a few weeks after I completed my dunker course. I've never been so thankful for training that I'll hopefully never need. Not only were the passengers not mentally or physically prepared for the accident, they were strapped in without quick release hardware. FlightChops has a sobering video filmed at the same flight tour company only a few days prior to the accident.
Didn’t expect to see you here taofledermaus
I remember that, and also a similar thought of disbelief. It would be nerve racking to try this but not impossible with the right training

Right?
Not with that haircut
Most super badass people I've met have that very calm demeanor. I know this Brazilian guy that used to do some kind of kidnapping insurance (hostage rescue), the rich people pay you to save their kidnapped children instead of paying ransom.
He'll tell a story where he killed a bunch of people silently with a knife then just walks in and grabs the hostage and be super calm and thoughtful about what he shared, it's kind of scary.
+Heruhcane Dean You realize he is a bold faced liar right? If you believe those stories you are are an idiot. He isn't John Rambo.
I agree, there's only one John Rambo and that's Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This is effing terrifying. But man is it cool to watch.
Certification is once every 24 months. In an indoor facility believe me, the excess chlorine is more intimidating. That said in a real scenario sinking meters per second would be REALLY TERRIFYING
I'm a seasoned swimmer and diver and I find this exercise terrifying
@@Jemmartin Also, if you're in something like the Red Sea, that water in your sinuses and eyes ain't great.
I was not scarred at all. At the most intense moments, I just leaned back in the couch and took another sip of coffee.

Thanks for this great memory!
I was doing that PMRF to ship ferry flight also. Loved it!
The Navy taught us that as soon as you are seated, use the hand that is closest to an exit and do the rodeo grip with that hand. That way you don’t have to think about which way the exit is when you ditch. The other thing is with the one wall being open you have immediate water pressurization. In reality that would be closed and water would be streaming through your exit ways at a high velocity, like a white water rapid. If you unbuckle your seatbelt and try to swim through that you’ll be pushed to the back of the helo and you’ll drown. So wait for the water to get chest level so you have less pressure to swim against then release your seatbelt. This gives you a much better chance to egress. The final thing was not to inflate your life vest until you’re outside the Hilo otherwise you’ll get pinned to the top and really struggle to get out.
This is very informative. It applies in real life situations as well as simulated life learn lessons. Thank you for sharing!

That dude in yellow cracks me up every time I watch this. He talks about such a serious topic but he's got that surfer bro inflection.
Watching this video three years later and the reflection at the end gave me goosebumps. It is so poignant and feels very relevant in light of recent events.
The ending is a wholesome metaphor.
I wish I could ask him about this, but unfortunately he died when I was very very young. But my grandfather was in the marines during the vietnam cleanup operations. As I understand, he was in a helicopter clearing sea mines from vietnamese water when it crashed into the ocean. Pretty much exactly what is being trained here. What blows my mind is that not only was he able to escape, but he was able to pull out the man next to him who was unconscious from the crash. I always knew it was impressive but seeing just how intense this controlled and safe experiment is gives me even more respect for him

Great video on water egress. You have the best personal point of view on this subject.
Interesting comparing experiences to yours. Where as the hard part for you was having your sinuses flooded, the hardest part for me was keeping panic from rising. I was born and raised in Hawaii, so by the time I joined the USMC and did the HELO dunker, being underwater was second nature...until you are trapped in an upside down can waiting for the next guy to get out of the window. This was probably one of the most difficult training I ever did. Cool video, subscribed.

Aw Destin, you made me all teary there at the end. Here I thought this was a claustrophobic nightmare video and instead I got a nice little Sunday devotional.
Stay in the Light :)
They should also train with blind folds or at night to simulate darkness and feel their way out.
I did this in 2010, you wear blacked out goggles for the last couple of runs.
@@louclarkson6098 makes sense.
Just did the dunker and they give you black out glasses for 3 of the runs
Navy does this. There's an exercise where you have to find the keel (kinda the backbone of the ship, a long strip of metal) in complete darkness.
They turn off the lights to simulate the darkness.
I love the reference at the end, stay blessed
Awesome video! Your training is really incredible and scary! I salute the training officers for their expertise!
