Water Survival

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jesse Liethen, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape specialist with the 908th Operations Support Squadron, is pulled from the water after being submerged in a dunker chair during a SERE water survival training event at the East Branch YMCA, Montgomery, Alabama, Feb. 27, 2025. Liethen demonstrated the ins-and-outs of the chair, including how to recognize and manage any disorientation in aircrew members to help them regain composure and execute escape procedures effectively. This critical training enhances survivability and confidence in potential over-water emergency scenarios. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Erica Webster)
