My ex husband was sere.. he taught me a lot about it.. I now use it to translate escaping abuse.. which really that program has a lot of great tools for doing such a thing..
Been trying to get into SERE since I joined the Air Force 5 years ago, and it’s finally my time. Waiting on my 422 to get stamped APPROVED, and my psych evaluation paperwork to pass. Once that’s all good I’m hoping for a date next year after the December class goes through. Thanks for these videos!
@@BustaShenanigans Shouldn't have. Memo came out in 2018 that you can retrain as early as 2 years into your enlistment for critically manned fields, but when MPF is awful and doesn't know things they're supposed to know it can get hectic.
Went through sere selection and failed a few months ago. I had a big ego(locked myself in my room and didn't ask for help ever) and poor time management which ended up causing me to perform at a suboptimal level while failing to make any sort of connection with my classmates. I ended up getting into my own head and quit the monday of week 2. Haven't gone a day without reliving the events and poor decisions of that week. I still want to be a SERE specialist and will be crosstraining back in as soon as they let me. As someone who went through the first week and knows many people who made it all the way through, I'd say the most important qualities a candidate must have are excellent time management skills, cooperation, and a borderline OCD level of attention to detail.

I found out that I may medically qualify for a pilot slot in the Air National Guard with their leniency on medical ETPs (the step above waivers) so I'm pursuing that now through the Palace Chase program and my GI Bill. If that does not work out, I'll fs keep SERE on my radar.
This Fighter Jock loved his SERE instructor...as an Eagle Scout and solid outdoor dude the SERE instructor taught me a bunch that I still use all the time. SERE rocks!
@@oldmandingus main thing was timelines honestly, the tasks aren't highly difficult but it's really easy to screw something up that's small which costs time
@Rav its difficult in it's own way, u cant think of it like another selection, its specific to the job so just treat it and train like its gonna be the hardest 3 weeks ur gonna have
@Rav for me yes it was very tough. I made it to last day of selection and was cut, it takes a lot out of u and it really makes or breaks if u truly want the job because it's what u love not just because it special ops
@Rav the main thing that will cause someone to quit would be both of those things during the 3 week selection but in the rest of pipeline it's more dealing with mother nature, the elements can be a bitch lol
I want to go in as a sere specialist and then transition into special reconnaissance. Thank you for this episode! Not many women are in sere and it’s nice to get this type of info.
LET'S FREAKIN GOOOOOO. I was waiting for this video last night but the podcast ended up being uploaded first. Regardless, great quality content again, gentlemen.
@@underratedcritic1983 they dropped the swim portion just fyi. But still be good at swimming for sure. Check for any public pools near you and go training. I sucked at swimming and 3 weeks in and I'm kicking ass. It's not so hard, trust me. Just practice your form and get comfortable in the water and youll be set
Thank you for this and all you guys do! In Development Training now for SERE! Excited for a Jan/Feb leave date. This totally motivates me more to kick a**. 🤘
@@BluestrawKort3 hey I’m really sorry to bother you but can you tell me about your experience so far in SERE I’ve heard a lot of mixed emotions from people in there.
I'm looking at getting back into the military and SERE is one of the jobs I'm thinking about going for. I have till August to get in the best shape I can.
We waterboarded US Naval Aviators, Special Forces, Submariners, etcetera who operate behind enemy lines at our SERE schools in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, until recent times. SERE school was actually great training and kinda fun. I know instructors who did it to Americans for three year tours. Most recently, the Navy/Marine Corps SERE school on the west coast did waterboarding, the Navy/Marine Corps SERE school on the east coast uses the smoking them in the confined space box technique.
So wait you can work at other bases besides Fairchild? I thought that was pretty much the only place you’d be. Interesting. I’m torn between SERE and Loadmaster as my two options right now. Is this easy to cross train out of by the way?
Ole school SERE grad, 27 days long, it was the best course I attended in military and civilian life, it taught me more about myself than anything, alittle disappointed in letting the cat out the bag about SERE , in the Army we do not talk about it, so the person can enjoy the experience
Would you say SERE is more family friendly compared to Combat Control, Para rescue and SR ? In that you deploy less often or the pipeline time being shorter things of that nature. Because having a family already coming in I will be honest my first choice would be Combat Control but my family is my first. priority.
If family is your first priority then these specialized jobs may not be for you. Because eventually the military is going to come first for a time and that can be really hard. Coming from experience here. Marines though for me not AF.
Military life is not for family men. Some military men have a wife and family but there's a reason that failed marriages are epidemic in the military. And if your MOS deploys alot your children will basically grow up in what equates to a single parent home. Because you'll be deployed most of the time, if you're MOS deploys alot. Also, know this, that the military comes first. It comes before wife, children, parents and yourself. If you can't put the needs of the military before the needs of yourself and your family, don't enlist. I'm speaking from a career as an Airborne-Airassault Light Infantryman in the U.S. Army. We had a prominent saying, "If the military wanted you to have a wife and children they'd have issued you one with your basic initial issue."
My ex husband was sere.. he taught me a lot about it.. I now use it to translate escaping abuse.. which really that program has a lot of great tools for doing such a thing..
This woman is such a huge inspiration to me, so happy you guys had her on.
Would love to see some more content involving more SERE Specialists!!

Why after 5 years?
5 years?? What were you doing during that time?
@@jackson2308 probably trying to get a cross-train spot, they’re not easy to get and the cross trainees are held to higher standards than enlisted.
Why did it take so long? I thought SERE was undermanned and would be easier to get an opportunity to try for

Kinda wish some of these sere videos were out before I went to selection but it's great to have them now for when I go back 🇺🇸
Why, what were some issues you ran into during selection? I’m leaving January 5th

Yeah, it's mainly because Aaron is stupid. I am not the brightest sometimes lol.
About to start the retraining process, thanks for the help fellas👍
I have my PAST on Tuesday! I’m praying to the pull-up gods for strength lol
You got this, brother.
I can barely swim. I wish I had your problem.
Just keep working on them man! Your strength will build.
Did you do it?

@@fucktommy Yes, went through BMT and SST-OC. Got selected and just awaiting orders for Fairchild now 😁
@@BluestrawKort3 Congrats! I'm currently in the 2S career field and am looking to cross train to sere in about a year. Awesome to hear you made it!

Went through SERE @Fairchild in Nov. '94. Was super lucky that there was 4' of snow on the ground so only thing I "had to" eat was worms.
Hoping to start my application once I leave Korea. Thanks for the info
I’m an Eagle Scout who grew up in the mountains and thinking of doing SERE. Apparently we have been setting a bad example
We waterboarded US Naval Aviators, Special Forces, Submariners, etcetera who operate behind enemy lines at our SERE schools in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, until recent times.

Most recently, the Navy/Marine Corps SERE school on the west coast did waterboarding, the Navy/Marine Corps SERE school on the east coast uses the smoking them in the confined space box technique.
I went to SERE in 1978 at Fairchild. Learned a lot and had a great time.
This is good insight 😅 I wasn’t expecting the banana slug
My son went to the level 4 survival school as an AC130 flight engineer.
The mindset was the strongest message.
When will there be more merch dropped on the website? I'm ready to snag some up!
@TiffanyHart and @CCTPeaches , your advice to train the entire PAST test as a whole and not just piece by piece has helped. Thx!
I am Italian I did the SERE a Fort Bragg North Carolina was a beautiful experience not for everyone. It was 2000 after we left for Afghanistan.
The exotic food department, I'd absolutely slay....
So wait you can work at other bases besides Fairchild? I thought that was pretty much the only place you’d be. Interesting. I’m torn between SERE and Loadmaster as my two options right now. Is this easy to cross train out of by the way?
Don't listen to him, loadmaster and sere are enlisted only, im currently a loadmaster trying to become sere.

A solid marriage through a full military career requires a strong spouse.
Thank you for this.
Very energetic explanations...
Can't yall tell Brian Silva to make more Burn the boats flags. Please. Thank you
