When I was stationed at Fort Stewart, GA from 98" to 2001 we did drown proofing once a year. We went to the pool and used our pants as a improvised water flotation devices. It was actually entertaining to watch all the SMs who couldn't swim so they were in the kiddie side of the pool. I was just wondering if the Army still does this.

We still do it once a year regularly and anytime preparing for a water jump we do what we call wet silk training!

It always was depending upon where you were stationed. I just sent Readers digest a funny story about it that happened at Ft Bragg in the mid 80's...

Depends where you are stationed. My most precious duty stationed conducting the training but here I'm at now, we don't conduct drown proofing or weapons qual.
