The Aviation Survival Training Center at Cherry Point leads 13 similar Navy facilities. Four years of inspections showed no discrepancies. Manager Jim Giordano credits the top-notch sailors and explains aviators and air crews must refresh survival training every four years.
The center trains about 2,000 air crew annually in aviation physiology and 4,000 in water survival and up to 2,000 ground Marines. Aviators endure lectures on human performance under altitude stress, sensory physiology, survival first aid, egress and ejection with an oxygen chamber simulating 25,000 feet. Giordano notes the aim is practical knowledge, not overly scientific, to match advancing aircraft and human limits.
Six communications Marines from the 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion HQ Battery trained at Moody Air Force Base Georgia to establish a long distance link to Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station nearly 500 miles away using the MRC 138 Humvee radio system and a PRC 104. They reported successful first-day setup and weather played a role but overall successful operations.
