During my Army Basic Training we had to go through a pond in full kit, webbing and weapons. In the middle it was deep and we couldn't touch the bottom. The pond was the muddiest colour ever with zero visibility. My boots and equipment were pulling me down and I truly thought I was going to drown. The only thing that kept me going was the knowledge that if I didn't surface, they wouldn't even know for ages because the pond was so dirty. I seriously don't know how someone didn't drown that day.
