Who here has been flipped upside down either in a vehicle rollover simulator, Dunker simulator (HUET/ Helicopter Underwater Egress Training), or both?
For me, I've experienced both. Due to the neutral buoyancy of water, I prefer HUET training over MET, even though I get water up my nose. What say you, RallyPoint?

I've been in the HEAT trainer a couple of times. As much as I hated it, it was thoroughly amusing to watch my Soldiers in there. Great shots of rear ends or faces (or both) plastered on windows while they try to get out.
Classic Army entertainment, if you ask me.

Dunker was a great time. I'm personally very comfortable in the water upside down and blindfolded, so it was just a game to me. Some guys who weren't as comfortable didn't enjoy it as much, as expected. Pretty funny to see some of them freaking out under there.

HUET training was fun for me. I prefer to get waterlogged than tumbled-dry. I saw more people panic during roll over training vs. HUET training.

I've been through the HEAT and MET. Great training and a good opportunity for team building.

1SG Steven Stankovich, I agree. Even a bunch of civilian contractors, like myself, being tumbled-dry is a good team building experience.
