Basic Safety Training

Tomorrow is my last day of basic safety training.  I can't believe that I'm almost done! I thought the time would never come.  The last couple of days have been pretty fun though.  We had a day on fire safety and we got to go for a little field trip to the middle of who knows where and got to practice putting out fires with all the different kinds of extinguishers.  Yesterday I spent 3 hours at the pool doing all kinds of drills. We did a 5 meter jump into the water, had to climb onto and flip over a capsized 25 person life raft, put on and swim in an immersion suit, practice turning our clothes into a floatation device, and some other survival things.  I felt very accomplished after flipping the raft over.  My partner and I were determined to do it fast and we showed up a number of the guys.  You know me...I have a bit of a competitive spirit!  Hope you enjoy the pictures. The first one is just the fire we had to put out. The second is of me after I climbed up onto the raft and then had to pull my partner up. The last one is the two of us in the process of flipping it over.
