Marines practice rescuing notional victims with full combat gear during an advanced water survival qualification course at Camp Lejeune, , Nov. 8, 2016. “The survival strokes are for efficiency, not speed,” said Sgt. Sasha McFadden, a Marine Combat Instructor of Water Survival Instructor with 2nd Radio Battalion. “If a Marine were to fall overboard, they can swim for a long period of time and conserve as much energy as possible with maximum distance.” The Marines were from 2nd Transportation Support Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, and 2nd Radio Battalion.
