COLD WATER TRAINING - U.S. Coast guard photo

Kodiak, AK (Oct. 19)-- ASM2 Doug Lathrop relaxes in a crab cooker between giving air crews cold water survival training. All Coast Guard aircrews must go through the refresher training that teaches cold water survival techniques. The water is still pretty warm, trainees only had to brave 40 degree water. In late December and early January the water can be as cold as 28 degrees. USCG Photo by PA2 Keith Alholm.
