Getting dipped into freezing cold water repeatedly from a helicopter hoist to become current for night deployments.

Air: 45
Water: 54
Wind Speed: 20-30, with gusts to 45
Night

Not a very warm experience. Had to do it 3 days in a row, with the other 2 days being a survivor floating in the water. No wonder I caught a bad cold that weekend.

First thing I think of relates to micduran's response - but hopefully only because I've been spending too long on this forum!

Second thing is freckles, since (at least where I come from) it was a popular childhood nickname for heavily freckled people.
