it sounds like pretty intense training. but being able to swim should be a requirement to enlist. or you they need to be sent to swimming school.  even if they are being deployed to irag or afghanistan. what happens in baniqua has to evacuate her comfy base and run through the desert under fire and she comes to a drainage canal with five feet of fast moving water?  her fellow soldiers have to risk their lives and die trying to save her ass.  i think they lower the bar for enlistment because recruiting numbers have fallen off the cliff. no more redneck white man joining, who have been hunting, fishing, swimming their entire lives.
