Well, I didn't say what I started out to say. My son, Trent, had to pass a hard swimming test to get into the Coast Guard. They drop them, in full gear, into the water and they have to swim about half a mile and then they pick them back up. They also put them in what looks like a helicopter without the rotor blades and tail, speed them down a slide into the water, turn them upside down, and they have to get out and to the surface. That scenario was in "Top Gun." Trent got out of the Coast Guard when they downsized 12 years ago.
