Marines conduct life saving water survival training

Sgt. Rachel Lablance participates in water survival training at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, July 28, 2015. The Aviation Survival Training Center is the only water survival facility on any Marine Corps installation on the East Coast. Naval aviators are given classes on protocol and the gear they use in case of an emergency on an aircraft. The skills they learn in ASTC ensure 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, its aviators and crew members are qualified and maintain the highest state of readiness. Lablance is an aircraft structures mechanic with Marine Transport Squadron 1.
