 TM 55-1905-220-14-2
2-212. LIFE BOATS (Cont).
The leader must organize and plan the daily regime aboard the boat. He must arbitrate disputes. He must be willing to
hear the opinions of the minority. Simple devices such as joking, storytelling, recounting events from the past lives of
each survivor, prayer, and singing will serve to offset the dreaming and brooding brought on by the environment. The
leader should also educate his crew. If the entire group is checked out on search and rescue techniques sand facilities,
they may realize that their situation is not so hopeless as their ignorance had suggested. The fact that most survivors
from ships have been rescued, usually within a few days or less, will alleviate fears. Training or a review of survival
procedures and equipment will pass time which might otherwise be spent by some men in moody thought.
