So dudes from the country flip the fuck out when like surf negotiation.
So that's the second hardest course to pass after CQB.
A lot of people fail Amphib, right?
But I didn't do it without Rio because I got booted off at the end and then Amphib was the next course.
So I did it without company and it was fucking just the shooters doing Amphib to catch up some dudes.
Yeah.
but I got the full qual out of it.
So we were doing surf negotiation at Cronulla, pulling up in PT kit, middle of the day, all these commando flotillas just up on the beach in PT kit, fucking road crossfit shirts, fucking slick haircuts, walking over to the cafe, getting a coffee, and then fucking hopping back in.
So it was my amphib course, a little bit different.
It was pretty good, yeah.
But then they went to Papua New Guinea and did a whole bunch of amphib stuff, and I โ
I went back to Charlie Company, but during that time, I think we did something like 10 PLFs.
So you push a boat, an inflatable boat at the back of a plane.
You then jump out after that boat and you chase it down to the water.
You land in the water, you set it up, and then you go wait for the next plane to come over and drop all your mates off.
And then you go and pick them up.
So you're literally jumping out into the open ocean with a fucking craft, setting it up.
And it's the most fucking hectic SF shit I think that we do on the Rio.
And I was doing over the horizon landings with Hesto, 38 kilometers off Cronulla.
Like literally 38 kilometers, like it's caught over the horizon.
