I'm all for restructuring BCT. That being said I don't know why water survival is being added. Why now??

I think its a good idea. Officers have done it for years. Being a former Marine I'm comfortable in the water. Plus who was responsible for the largest amphibious assault? That's right its a mother tool in the tool box!

I guess at the end of the day this new generation of soldiers cant even fill out an envelope, so why should I expect them to know how to float or swim??? HAHA

if i learned anything from water survival is that a surprising number of people in the army cant swim... and the sooner you can teach folks to float in an emergency is probably the better.
