You should have gone through in August as I did when there was not enough
snow on Mount Baker to justify the snow survival phase.

Got sick on day-old black berries. But really enjoyed the world's best crabs
( illegal to catch except during survival school).

When I was in the P3 community (VP31), I was sent to NUW for Survival
School. I forget how long it lasted, but I recall the "ogre muthas"
giving us a time or two. It was cold and wet (February) and I recall
they bused us out to some mountain for snow survival. I have no idea
where the Happy Valley compound was, but I do recall being quite
uncomfortable for some time in a little box they put me in. All in all,
quite an experience.
Hell of it is all I got was this lousy little rubber stamp "FATUPAC DET
2 successfully completed" in my personnel jacket.

Is this kind of stuff still done?
