HEAT The MEAT

a few days ago i participated in 2 classes called HEAT and MEAT. they stand for HMMWV and MRAP egress assist training. basically its to give us practice getting out of those 2 vehicles after they've rolled over, either upside down or sideways. to do this they take a frame of each of the vehicles and turn them into giant rotisserie chickens. we get in the frames, put on seat belts and they flip us upside down. we then have to unbuckle our seat belts, fall to the roof, unlock and open our door then climb out. very simple and a little bit fun if we didn't have to walk so far to the training site in all our gear.
