Confined Space Search
This component tests endurance, as well as the ability to maintain spatial orientation and freedom from claustrophobia.

Description
You will be led downstairs, fitted with kneepads, and a face piece. Wearing a blacked-out facemask, you will crawl on your hands and knees around the search room. You must navigate the search room on your hands and knees and exit at the opposite end.

Preparation Tips
You might practice maneuvering on your hands and knees wearing a backpack weighing approximately 30 pounds. It would be a good idea to do this with your eyes closed or in a darkened room. Be sure to have a friend or helper if you are maneuvering in an area and you cannot see.
