There are lots of colors on the flight deck! This helps differentiate between rates and positions, so what might seem like chaos is actually a perfectly orchestrated evolution.

OC stands for oleoresin capsicum, a safe, water-activated, deterrent for aggression. Symptoms include irritation of the eyes & skin and increased mucus production. Sailors must power through the discomfort and demonstrate situational awareness before starting the next challenge.
