Well, Russia, we feed them grilled cheese sandwiches, which they hate, and make them spend a lot of time outside alone, they haaate that, and then…
But in all seriousness, it’s a combination of things. I took a SERE course in my time in the Navy. Some of the training involved being able to stay in survival thinking mode. Like knowing there is someone on your side that is coming for you and making sure all your actions are in line with that thinking.
I took another course that was specifically focused on how to get out of a helicopter that crash landed in water. That training also focused on how to be, basically, unsinkable. So how to get to the surface even with your hands and feet tied.
There’s a couple different things that work together. There are parts of the training I did I’m not sure I can talk about for OPSEC reasons too. I’m sure there’s more that I never did and other people will talk about but what I wrote is part of it.
