26th Marine Expeditionary Unit
Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, United States - Lance Cpl. Roberto Salcedo, a 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit administrative clerk, is flipped underwater while buckled into a shallow water egress training (SWET) chair during an Underwater Egress Training Course on Camp Lejeune, N.C., May 15, 2012. The SWET chair is used to slowly introduce an individual to the underwater egress environment, and reduce the chance of fear and panic during the actual egress training. Marines and sailors of the 26th MEU took part in this course to learn how to escape a helicopter in the event of a water landing.   Photo by Cpl. Christopher Q. Stone
