    I know this isn't military, but the F/A-18 is used by them. It's pretty funny how the pilot makes the guy pass out several times. I can't tell, but is the passenger wearning one of those flight suits that has airbags to keep your blood from moving around? http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/extra/blueangels/

    My guess here, is that he is
    Reason :
    In the last clip, you can see what appears to be the abdominal pressure bag.
    He's doing the physical exercises..... flexing legs, bearing down, & Grunting
    but, he states he's only had 15 minutes training, and it didn't take.

    As to why the pilots don't pass out?
    I offer that the suit itself, only helps to reduce blood loss from G's.
    One must be in tip top physical shape ( which he doesn't appear to be)
    and have hours of training doing it, before they allow one command of a multi million dollar aircraft.

    Wish that I, could have had the chance to pa...................

    YEAH! I'm OK..... (clicks "Submit Reply" ) :)
