Three U.S. Marines were rescued by the Japan Coast Guard last Saturday two hours after they were swept out to sea while snorkeling, according to a report.
"I am so glad that they didn’t lose their lives," another spokesman said. "It is always good to check the weather and terrain before going out and be careful of rip currents. Moreover, never go near water alone."
After two of the Marines came ashore they realized their buddies had been taken out by the current. A group of Japanese campers also witnessed the incident and phoned for help when they saw the struggling service members signaling them, Stars and Stripes reported.
