1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:04,740 --> 00:00:06,573 So we keep accountability of all 3 00:00:06,573 --> 00:00:08,796 marines all the time . All right . More 4 00:00:08,796 --> 00:00:10,684 than 80 marines with First Marine 5 00:00:10,684 --> 00:00:12,684 expeditionary force conducted their 6 00:00:12,684 --> 00:00:14,907 annual slim qualification under the new 7 00:00:14,907 --> 00:00:16,740 requirements at Camp Pendleton , 8 00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:19,310 California may 3rd . We need to know 9 00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:21,600 how to swim in the water , do all that 10 00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:23,610 because we don't want a marine . So 11 00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:27,160 we're amphibious . So first 12 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,610 we had to swim across the pool . Next 13 00:00:31,610 --> 00:00:33,360 we had to jump off the tower . 14 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,430 Okay . We had to tread water for about 15 00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:43,340 four minutes and then we had to 16 00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:45,360 take off our flat Cavallaro and 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,810 Everything in 10 seconds . And after 18 00:00:48,810 --> 00:00:52,400 that , we had to swim back across with 19 00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:56,320 main path qualification standards 20 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,042 were changed to provide a more 21 00:00:58,042 --> 00:00:59,876 practical means of measuring the 22 00:00:59,876 --> 00:01:01,820 abilities of marines to survive in 23 00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:04,042 water . Marines must wear their uniform 24 00:01:04,042 --> 00:01:05,987 with their boots on for the entire 25 00:01:05,987 --> 00:01:09,180 qualified well because it's a challenge . 26 00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:11,410 It's not it's not the way it's from 27 00:01:11,410 --> 00:01:13,632 quality used to be where we didn't have 28 00:01:13,632 --> 00:01:15,743 boots on with the boots . It actually 29 00:01:15,743 --> 00:01:17,799 adds a bit more of the realism to it 30 00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:19,688 because I fall off the boat . I'd 31 00:01:19,688 --> 00:01:19,560 rather know how to swim with my boots 32 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,360 on than without
