Water Survival

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jesse Liethen, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape specialist with the 908th Operations Support Squadron, comes up for air after demonstrating how to use a Helicopter Emergency Egress Device System bottle during a Shallow Water Egress Trainer event at the East Branch YMCA, Montgomery, Alabama, Feb. 27, 2025. Recognizing that air supply is critical in a potentially submerged helicopter, the training emphasizes the use of HEEDS bottles and how to activate them underwater in case of needed deployment.
