100 feet at Groton, did it several times for fun after the first required time. Was a certified life guard when I joined and just enjoyed water.]]> Mon, 04 Jul 2016 16:37:15 +0000 http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3399&PID=8639&title=new-escape-trainer#8639 <![CDATA[New Escape Trainer : Sewer Pipe Snipe wrote:I understand...]]> http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3399&PID=8638&title=new-escape-trainer#8638 Author: Palm Bay Ken

I don't think styrofoam cups or flip-flops had been invented when I first went thru in '54. At least I don't remember seeing any.

Bob was correct that we wore our swim suits in the recompression chamber. It was done the same evolution as the tower. We wore the shower shoes to go between both locations. The pressure in the chamber flattened the shower shoes. Come to think of it we did the tear gas training before changing to do blow and go.

It's been a long time, but we wore bathing suits. I think bare feet, this was in 64. The new tower in NL is a swimming pool. Not the same as the old tower. I did it twice free asent and stankie hood asent not sure how many times.]]> Mon, 04 Jul 2016 02:56:12 +0000 http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3399&PID=8630&title=new-escape-trainer#8630 <![CDATA[New Escape Trainer : Tom,Please refresh my addled limited...]]> http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3399&PID=8628&title=new-escape-trainer#8628 Author: Gil

Tom,
Please refresh my addled limited memory. You wore flip flops in the recompression chamber? I'm thinking we would have worn our dungarees and standard footwear. Why would that chamber have that affect on flip flops. I remember walking into it and wondering why it was a recompression rather than a decompression chamber. I was very nervous, and wasn't very observant. During our tower experience at Pearl we did 50 then had the opportunity to do 100. I didn't like the chamber we got in to start the escape - I'd seem too many television shows where the hero had to escape death as a compartment or room was filled with water.

During the repairs in NLON on the fire damage in the tower, one of the Nuke MM-1's on Ustafish under construction at EB won a small business Set-Aside Contract to do the pipe covering. He got his lagging material via cumshaw from EB.
