We go a couple feet down the catwalk, everyone stops.

someone reaches over the catwalk and pulls one chalky ceiling tile out.

So now you can look over the edge of the catwalk and see right through the ceiling into the diving well.

Remember the diving well has a 10 meter platform and then we're another, I don't want to over-exaggerate this, we have to be another 20 feet

into the ceiling.

So you're above the diving board.

Oh, we're way above the diving board.

We're five feet above the ceiling, which is 20 feet above the 10 meter.

And now I've realized what's happening.

And two or three wrestlers, you climb over the catwalk, get backwards, get your hands all the way down, and then very lower yourself in a reverse pull-up so you don't kick the ceiling tile.

And three or four guys go, and you can hear them hit the water after what is a terrifyingly long time when you're my age.

Oh, yeah.

No one's supposed to be in there.

And then one of the guys looks over.

When you're a recruit, you're called a drag.

And they're like, drag, you're up.

And I'm lowering myself, Andrew, and I kick the adjacent ceiling tile, and it hits me.

the dive tank and it turns into pancake batter and goes to the bottom of the pool.

Oh my.

And one of my teammates is like, you motherfucker.
