🚨 MISSION: FIND WATER. PURIFY IT. DRINK IT. SURVIVE! 🚨
Five outstanding Young Marines accepted the challenge — and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 💪🇺🇸
Imagine being dropped into a survival situation with no clean water in sight. Your mission is simple…but absolutely critical:
💧 Locate a water source by any means possible.
🔥 Make it safe to drink.
🥤 Successfully produce drinkable water.
Last night, these Young Marines put their survival skills to the test!
The property was dry, with no obvious water source anywhere. But survival means using your surroundings and thinking outside the box. After searching the area, they discovered standing water trapped in the crook of a tree!
Water located. ✅
But there was one BIG problem…
There was absolutely NO WAY they were drinking it like that! 😳
Now came the next phase of the mission: PURIFICATION.
Using flint and steel, fluffy tinder, and sticks gathered from the area, the Young Marines went to work. Sparks flew…and before long:
🔥🔥🔥 FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥
Next, they needed containers capable of helping them complete the purification process. They located old glass bottles that had been left throughout the wooded area many years ago.
The Young Marines carefully collected the water, sanitized their equipment, heated the water, and used distillation to capture the water v***r as it rose. That v***r was then collected in a sanitized container and allowed to cool and condense back into clean water.
From dirty water trapped inside a tree…
➡️ FIRE
➡️ HEAT
➡️ STEAM
➡️ CONDENSATION
➡️ DRINKABLE WATER! 💧
Working together, problem-solving, building a fire, collecting water, and completing the entire purification process took them just over ONE HOUR!
That is teamwork.
That is determination.
That is survival training.
That is what Young Marines are all about!
We could not be more proud of these five outstanding Young Marines!
🇺🇸 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! 🇺🇸
OOH RAH!!! 💪🔥💧
