An Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC) Pensacola instructor sets off a Mk 124 signal flare at the seawall behind the Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI) headquarters building onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, June 22. The buckets below are intended to snuff the flares of any flames once expended. The Mk 124 was developed to give personnel operating in a marine or survival situations the ability to signal rescue crews day or night with either smoke or flame signals. The smoke signal shown here is intended for daylight hours in open terrain to give the survivor the best chance at possible of recovery. NSTI, a detachment of NMOTC, specializes in training the pilots, aircrew, and service members who support other specialized communities in survival skills and technique to survive aviation emergencies. Students and service members who complete training and courses will be equipped, with an understanding of stressors placed on the body, the rigors of egress and techniques for survival in situations of hostile and austere environments. Navy Medicine Operational Training Command (NMOTC) is comprised of six nationwide detachments that offer specialized medical training in the fields of aviation, aviation survival, surface and undersea warfare, expeditionary and special operations medicine.
