Class 00-11 Home Page - Phase I Photos

Here are pictures of Phase I of our training which began on 21 Jun 99 and ended 26 Jul 99 when we "hit the flightline."

	Another classmate enjoying parasailing.
	Just about to practice the PLF.
	This is what we look like parasiling, from the ground's perspective.
	"I really hope I do a good Parachute Landing Fall (PLF)."
	Yet another classmate parasailing.
	Here is a few members of 00-11 waiting to parasail (or waiting to go home after parasailing.)
	This is one of our skinnier classmates under the parachute.
	Billy Bell is about to launch!
	We have liftoff!! Parasailing is probably the most fun we have (on duty) in phase I!
	Here is Lt Berube again, this time in the ground egress trainer.

	Chilling in the chamber.
	In the altitude chamber, they tell us to have no "social graces" during ascent. Here is me (Lt York) helping Lt Uybarreta with this by pulling his finger.
	Some of our classmates in the altitude chamber.
	We also get to learn some basic survival procedures.
	Looks like fun!
	Billybell...oops.. Billy Bell also learning his post ejection checklist.
	One of the fun parts of our training is dragging our classmates on their backs so they can practice releasing themselves.
	Some of our classmates are a little camera shocked!
	Bryan Duke in the middle of a good PLF.
	Some members of 00-11 practicing our Parachute Landing Falls (PLFs) off a 2' platform.
