An aircrew member prepares to board a life raft during a Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape water survival class in Shreveport, La., March 15, 2016. The life raft increases survivability by keeping aircrew out of the water while waiting for rescue. Survivability is increased exponentially in colder environments by decreasing the risks of hypothermia. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Mozer O. Da Cunha)
