SUDS Training


Texas is mostly about cavalry, but that doesn't mean we're afraid to get our feet wet, especially at the SUDS (Soapy Underwater Distraction Squad) course in Glen Rose.

Land Nav

Recruits go through a grueling selection process consisting of swimming, navigation and rock climbing on the Paluxy river.

Climbing

They can wash out at any time, or they can push through and complete the course. That choice is up to them, they have to want to do it. It's not easy, especially with the lure of fossilized human footprints reflecting the light of creation. 

Learning to Swim

Don't be surprised if SUDS candidates fall asleep, exhausted, on the transport back to base. After all, they've earned it.

So check out the Dinosaur State Park at Glen Rose. Big fun.

Cheers,
