    An Officer in a centrifuge doing the G profile of the F/A-18 Hornet at Naval Air Station Lemoore California. 1st profile is to see resting tolerance. 2nd is resting tolerance + 1g. 3rd is resting tolerance +2g. Fourth profile is ACM (Air Combat Manuevering). The fifth profile simulates looking for an aircraft during a dogfight and pulling 7.5g's at the same time. The facility is one of eight in the country, teaching everything from survival first aid to methods of combating G-force-induced loss of consciousness, or G-LOC. *Title corrected.
