Flotilla 73 Crew/Coxswain Academy on-the-water day video

Shipmates,
Yesterday, 16 April 2011, was the first towing practice day of this year's Academy.  The candidates, cadre and mentors have been working up to these on-the-water days since late January. Over the next few weekends the knowledge gained in the classroom begins to become the skills that are used in actual operations as the candidates prepare for Qualification Examinations.

We've prepared a brief video of yesterday's morning session. If you are a candidate hopefully this will give your friends and family a sense of what you've been doing on all those Tuesday nights and Saturdays.



Presented in HD.  If the video does not show above please visit: http://vimeo.com/22499647
