Drown proof(ing)... do you take a pair of camo fatigue pants with you to the beach or ocean?
When I was stationed in HI we had 2 Soldiers drown together, dang near drown a third helping them. After the investigation and questions by the Commanding General, I feared that he was going to order everyone to take camo pants with them to the beach any time they went as was taught in the drown proof class. We were that far into the weeds.
Bridges fear:
I'm not to fond of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel system. Come out of a hole into daylight, go on a bridge for a bit, then disappear down another hole under the water. Its a bit freaky.
