I hate HUET !!!!!!

Finally, the time comes for me to do my refresher for my offshore safety training. The thing i hate most about it is the HUET Helicopter..Underwater.. Escape..Training.. used to just need to hold my breathe underwater while trying to escape from a simulated helicopter ditching ... but now they introduce a new thing ... EBS Enhanced.. Breathing..System basically some apparatus that will help us breath underwater .... haih ... more work to do

Just finished the HUET training this morning .... glad that it was held on the first day ... just get it done and forget about it .... but today something extraordinary happened ... my air pocket at my life jacket is somehow filled with water when i was doing my first simulation .... when i was trying to breath underwater .... i can only taste water .... no air ..... GOSH !!!!! Luckily i was calm enough to hold my breath and get through it .... it does result in me swallowing some water .... What a day !!!!

Although i do admit that the training is really very useful and important for guys like us that work offshore most of our time .... but i cant cheat myself but to say I really hate HUET !!!!!
