Armed Forces Consider incentives to keep soldiers fit

I guess we all have a role to play in the defense of Canada.  8)

I had to do the US Navy Swim Phys (which, amongst other things like the helo dunker) consists of swimming 100m in full flight gear with the lofe preserver deflated (flying suit, flight boots, g-pants, harness, life preserver, helmet, gloves), thread water for 10 minutes and inflate the life preserver orally (ie: no CO2 cartridge).

It was probably the most difficult physical test I have taken and probably the most relevant to what I do.

Any chance that was in the North Atlantic in Jan?  We were given an estimate of 10 minutes before freezing on the Sea Env course when I did it back in 2000.  I know when we did the flood training even in the summer it was freezing. Maybe global warning has extended it by a few minutes.  ;D
