Capt. Kenneth Morrow, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit assistant air officer, and Marine Corps Instructor of Water Survival, speaks words of encouragement to Staff Sgt. Devin McGinty, 26th MEU cyber security technician, as he swims 50 meters with a assault pack during Marine Combat Water Survival Training at a combat training pool on Camp Johnson, N.C., May 24, 2012. The U.S. Marine Corps and 26th MEU are an amphibious assault force. Therefore all Marines are required to know how to survive in the water. Participants wear all of their combat gear, including a rifle, helmet, flak jacket and assault pack, increasing their confidence in a forward-deployed environment.
