Sept. 30, 2024 | 2:24
New park rangers and project office staff of the Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, completed the Emergency Vessel Operators Course, Sept. 9 to 13 at Keystone Lake in Oklahoma.

The 40 hour course prepares new rangers to operate USACE boats and watercraft, and is a requirement of the park rangers' duties.

Day five marks the culmination of training where students begin the day with a written exam where they're tested on their knowledge of boating regulations and practices. Once testing is complete, they begin the final hurdle – practical application testing to demonstrate their competency boat operations.
