What do you do during the E&E?

Moderator: Split from another post. Kept because I thought LB206 had a pretty good overview of E&E.

Escape and Evasion involves several parts. It involves land navigation, life raft techniques and evasion. The first part is navigating to a series of markers eventually leading you to 2 life rafts which you paddle acroos the lake and are met by a counselor who takes you to a point then points you in the right direction and tells you to get going. From then pon your on your own in the woods at night crawling on your stomach to the rescue point. Along the way their are counselors with waterguns or flashlights that will try to shoot you. If your shot you give up your flag and are dead and can stand up and walk to the pick up point. Your team gets points based on how many people survive. Now tjis is the way it was in 1996 when i went some things may have changed.
