    Most of these men are Mercury astronauts. Not sure about the leftmost fellow, but the others are, from left, John Glenn (usually wore a bowtie), Wally Schirra (with the cigarette), Gus Grissom, Alan Shepard and Gordon Cooper.

UDT-21 and Mercury 7

    You have several of the astronauts' names wrong. Left to right: Schirra - Cooper - Shepard - Grissom - Glenn - Carpenter - Slayton

    great
  • E G said:
    The written record suggests that this was at Wallops. This is anecdotally supported by that fact that there really was no need to travel all of the way to Rosie Roads to complete basic open-water training, especially with all of the other activities and training occurring at Langley, Johnsville, the Cape, and factory visits at Kearney Mesa and Marshall and STL during this same time. Doesn't make much sense.

    At the time UDT training in the East Coast was held at Little Creek, VA, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
