Guest Swingin Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Cadet fell off ship re-enacting movie scene The Associated Press DENVER — An Air Force Academy cadet who plunged about 50 feet from a cruise ship balcony into the ocean with a female passenger thanked his rescuers Tuesday but didn’t discuss the details of what happened. Ernesto Guzman, 22, and Celeste Clarice Partee, 20, fell from the balcony of Partee’s cabin on Princess Cruises’ Grand Princess about 150 miles off the coast of Galveston, Texas, on March 25. KWGN-TV in Denver reported that the pair were re-enacting a famous scene from the movie “Titanic” when they fell. Guzman took off his clothes to stay afloat, the station reported. Both were rescued by boats launched from the ship. Guzman issued a statement through the academy thanking Princess Cruises and the U.S. Coast Guard. “The combination of their quick response and my water survival training at the United States Air Force Academy combined to save my life during those five hours in the Gulf of Mexico,” said Guzman, a junior. University of Colorado spokesman Bronson Hilliard confirmed the identity of Partee, a sophomore from Little Rock, Ark., but said he had no other information. Princess Cruises has declined to discuss the incident. “We have concluded that their going overboard was an accident, and we consider the matter closed,” the cruise line said in a March 26 statement. ---------- And the rest of the story....

Flare Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Damn. If I knew this kid was coming to Sheppard, I'd stick around another 6 months just to make fun of him everyday. Nice work there, Leo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerkDerka Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 the pair were reenacting a famous scene from the movie “Titanic” by leaning over the ship’s bow when they fell. Ouch. It's not going to be fun trying to live that one down for the rest of his career. Guzman took off his clothes to stay afloat, the station reported. My water survival training at the United States Air Force Academy combined to save my life. Oh yeah, that was the first thing they taught.

Marjackson82 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Excuse the low situational awareness, but if it was an AF Academy cadet then why is this in there?: "University of Colorado spokesman Bronson Hilliard confirmed the identity of Partee, a sophomore from Little Rock, Ark., but said he had no other information."

An Air Force Academy cadet who plunged about 50 feet from a cruise ship balcony into the ocean with a female passenger. The he in the story was a USAFA cadet. The she was a student at CU, it appears.

Guest Doolittle365 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 My buddy was on the cruise liner during this incident and gave me the inside scoop. Let's just say, "reenacting Titanic" was less embarassing than the real reason for the fall/accident. When my friend came back from spring break, this was the first thing he told me and all I could do was hold my side and laugh at the fact that it was an academy kid. Gotta love the zoo.

M2 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'd be much happier telling everyone I fell fifty feet off a boat at night while getting laid. Even if I really was reenacting Titanic I'd lie and say I was getting it on and fell. At least you'd get a cool name for having near-fatal sex on a boat at night. Now everyone just thinks you're gay.

Hmm... he took off his clothes to "stay afloat." LOL Suuuuuuuuuuuure. Coastguard: "What happened to your clothes young man?" Guzman: "Err...I, uh, took em off to stay afloat! That's it!"

Guest Dennis Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Happened to run across this gem two years later. Ernesto Guzman would have been a Lt by now, but the only Ernesto Guzman that shows up in the global is a civilian at Lackland. So I take it he lost his comission after this naked wet romp?
