The military has to be realistic about training when the seas are too turbulent to run a successful rescue.

Hawaiian waters have been churning well over a week now. It was a bad idea. While training is important, helicopters are effected by wind conditions. The water they fly over has to be navigable otherwise there should  be no training mission. Why weren't ships already in the water for any rescue while the training was on going?
