  Title: ASCAN Ochoa floats in pool during Elgin AFB water survival training
  Description:
  1990 Group 13 Astronaut Candidate (ASCAN) Ellen Ochoa, wearing helmet and 
  flight suit, climbs into a single person life raft while floating in a pool 
  at Elgin Air Force Base (AFB) in Pensacola, Florida, during water survival 
  exercises. Ochoa's underarm flotation device holds her above the water as
  she  pulls herself into the life raft. The training familiarized the
  candidates  with survival techniques necessary in the event of a water
  landing.  ASCANs  participated in the exercises from 08-14-90 through
  08-17-90.
