I went to SERE training before going to Vietnam, both at Fairchild as well as Clark for jungle..very intense to say the least and it has stuck with me since. The POW training was borderline crazy but I wouldn't have wanted to been captured without having gone through it.
If anyone is in the military I commend them. I recently enlisted with the United States Navy, and have got nothing but "ass pirate" jokes. Funny, because at MEPs I reclassified at SEALs from Nuke. I am neither stupid nor weak...seriously, if you're in the military you're a bad ass and I commend you every step of the way. Punk ass CoD kids can bite it.
USAF SERE training for aircrew at fairchild afb, WA years ago during winter time class (january)...zero degree weather for a week in 5 feet of snow the mountains.
I would have to say SERE was the most intense training I went through. Basic Training was a walk in the park compared to SERE training. I went through all 3 stages (Outdoor Wilderness Survival, Water Survival, POW Camp) and I never felt so blessed to be an American than when I saw that American Flag on the last day of POW camp. For those of you who have never been through it or are just ignorant to it, you'll never quite understand.
@OriginalMattyMatt no sere is not a front line job, however it is just as hard as any other special forces training. the only difference between sere and pj training is that pjs swim. instead of swimming you will mostly do runs and rucks, if your going to do sere i sugest you familiarize yourself with crossfit workouts, rucksacking, and running.
I am in the process of enlisting for the Air Force, and am doing everything in my power to get into SERE, and let me tell you it is a long and difficult road just to simply get in. And also, for Christ's sake stop fighting about which branch is better or which Special Forces is better, we are all in it for the same purpose, and in the end, no branch is better than the other.
@isaiahherpderp Volunteer to be an airborne linguist. Nobody else wants to do it. My recruiter told me it was the best thing in the world. If I only knew all the crap I'd have to go through to make it through the tech school for this job, I wouldn't have done it. Now I'm glad I did (And SERE's part of it too).
There is SERE training for high risk personel then there are SERE specialists. They are the experts. They go through 2 years of some of the most intense training the military has to offer. There are less than 400 specialists in the air force and are considered the militarys premiere survival experts. A specialist once showed me where they broke his finger and cut the end of one off during the classified resistance training. How can you teach one to endure torture if youve never been through it?
@GerberMan04 Really? weak air force posers, I suppose your in the military right? cause I'm pretty sure the branches don't bash each other over the internet. People in the AF do as much work, and suffer as much as any one else in every other branch. So shut the fuck up you wanna be punk.
@gunny0321 Don't even waste your time with this wanna-be. Obviously the closest he has came to combat is Call of Duty. He probably isn't military. The Air Force has the best SERE program in the military. I've been through SERE training and it is by far some of the most important training I have had, and I am going out for PJ soon. Those guys are the best at this and every military branch has alot to learn from these Air Force guys. Air Force Spec Ops are the unsung heroes of the military.
@botoblaster808 Pararescue has gotta be some of the hardest training in the world. according to my recruiter, it includes Navy SEAL school, Airborne Ranger School, Recon School, AND Pararescue school.
There are a couple of different versions of the survive evade resist escape or S.E.R.E. school. There's a 17 day course for aircrew that normal people go through with a two day Water survival and a two day POW camp scenario and then there is a six-month S.E.R.E. instructor course that you go through after you go through all the basic classes. 17 days, 2 days POW which you really dont know when it will end if the group doesnt meet all the requirements, it could go longer, and the 2 day non-pa
@RightHookJoker not exactly. they are trained to be experts in every aspect of SERE. when they graduate from SERE specialist training they begin to teach aircrew
Wheres the part where they hand you a peanut butter sandwich and tell you go to these coordinates? Then when you get caught (most likely) they show you what its like to be in a POW camp, enduring all the physical and mental breakdowns captured aircrews experienced during Vietnam.
Learn the survival part from the guy who's taught all branches of the US special forces. Tom Brown, Jr. trackerschoolDOTcom. Hard to believe but he used to be based about 5 miles from where I lived in NEW JERSEY of all places! Yeah, no shit.
@lechodemeista if you are any kind of aircrew you will go through the course as for being a officer, you can but it will be your specific AFSC as a officer i believe
@mikeycade well i am overseas in japan right now, any time any kind of aircrew deploys their is a good chance to go with them, or specifically you can deploy with a army unit if the opprotunity comes up.
this looks interesting, more power to anyone taking such a course. but the funny thing is, you can invest in as much training for your people as you want and yet you`ll never know who will crack when SHTF for real. it`s like an unmeasurable quality, i`m almost tempted to say that some people are natural survivors, and it`s most often not the gung-ho jocks but those you`d expect it the least from. nevertheless, better to train everybody since you don`t know who`s got it.
I'm looking to join the AF now, and this one of those jobs there's a vacancy for, but if you're in SERE, do you get to do more than just teach these skills, can you still serve overseas, like in Afghanistan or something?
Wow, I bet SERE is a lot of fun. Everyone loves hiding from guerrillas, getting dysentery and being tortured. Good news is that SERE training is a great weight loss program, you're gonna lose 10lbs from stress alone, and then 10 more pounds from lack of food and water. Maybe a pound of blood if your unlucky. At least the video looks fun.
LMAO they make sere sound like fun, lol, its basically survival and torture resistance school, ask anyone who has been there, it sucks for rangers and force recon.
I went to SERE in 94' and water survival in 02'. It was awesome. Afterwards I felt like I could be put in anywhere and I could make it out. As long as I took care of my primary needs, I was good to go. The Instuctors knew their business and I'm glad they are on our side. HOOYAH SERE!!!
As a PJ, I have to give it to the instr at ALL the schools. They know their job and they are GREAT!!! The water surv. class was way cool PARA SAILING FOR FREE. Thanks Again to all of you. Because you, I can do my job better.
i Wanted to do this job and really i still do but a SERE guy told me that they never ever see there family so if your single cool but if your married fuck it.
PJ's are way hard core. I see them working out constantly in their selection course. I'm in SERE selection, we do a lot of rucking, calisthenics, and work on lesson plans, etc. we do around 150 pullups, 600+ pushups, etc. daily. It's pretty intense. That's SERE, but I know Pararescue is intense too. Whatever you do, don't give up on it. The biggest battle seems to be mental. Good luck.
I am a SERE Specialist. I am an expert in survival, evasion, resistance, and escape. I can survive anywhere in the world and prepare others to do the same. I prove myself by deed and action. I respect every war fighter and consider their needs before my own. I will remember that the lives of those I influence rest in my hands and if they fail the failure is mine alone. I will keep myself in top physical and mental condition. I will never tarnish the honor of fellow SERE specialists...
I like the song YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
There is a female instructor in this video, and you still want to argue about women in SERE? Not to mention the point about SERE not being Spec Ops? Yes, women are not allowed in Spec ops, and based off what you have said, SERE cannot be Spec ops. Like I have stated, based on the fact that a woman is seen in this video as a SERE instructor. That contradicts your point entirely.
people are getting a little confused here. there are TWO different SERE schools, the USAF SERE which is seen here, and then there is the army SERE school. they are two different schools, the USAF SERE is slightly different (focuses more on survival, less on POW) and is not spec ops. the spec ops SERE school is oppisite
so you've been through sere and have been waterboarded, starved and dehydrated? I can agree with the treated like an animal part but what they don't do is mistreat members of their own military for the purpose of training. but i guess we're all allowed our 'vision' of what resistance training is like
Now hold on there my friend. Unless you've been through it, don't you come in here and tell me what I experienced there. They do it because it's necessary. you are holding information that could compromise our nation, so they need you to be ready to NOT expunge it. The only way is to have the resistance training. If you'd like to be ignorant and shut your eyes, that's fine but don't insult my experiences because you're naive and think everyone "plays by the rules" in our society.
I wasn't there to be a SERE instructor but I did go through as Aircrew. One of my buddy's is one though and all that gives me a little insight into it. Not going to say I know all about it I just know alot of people fail just going through FAM
Yes they OBVIOUSLY do. SERE is not special forces. SERE instructors, because that is what they are, instructors, and you can tell by the badge that is worn on their top right of their BDU uniform. They teach others, they don;t actually go out and do this stuff for themselves.
Actually SERE is considered spec ops and they dont allow women in spec ops. and yes i know what the AETC badge is. and i know they're instructors but they do go on missions with PJ's and CCT and other special operators
wrong. i think there are currently five female instructors and no they do not go out on missions with pj's or cct or any other sf or spec ops. they are instructors and only instructors
Hey, im trying to do a paper on an AirForce career, im chosing SERE command. Im not quite sure how it works, but where would i find resources on who leads the SERE instructors, what they have to do to maybe, maintain the program. Is it an officers job to screen potential SERE instructors? Basically who do these guys report to?
btw not nearly as easy as it looks, and the reason they don't show the resistance is because it is classified, as FOUO and Confidential. so obviously it is not aloud to be disclosed to the public.
Thats true. Its so awesome to talk about it but at the same time you can't. The resistance part that is. I puked in a toilet before I hoped on a bus and went over to the resistance portion. Which was a great excuse to use because I had actually puked my guts out.
haha yeah it was fun, but i gotta say man you are going out on a weak limb to be making boot ass comments about which service is better. you must be a fresh one huh! lol that's ok tho, i don't need to make comments to know that what i do every day even for a Marine P.O.G. is straight up awesome. But hey i guess that is what you get when you are with a unit like mine.
Haha I tend to pick on the other services, jokingly of course. Two of my best friends are in the Marines and Army. We all make fun of each other. To them for instance, I am their little "Airforce Princess" :D
@BittingerMovies There are multiple SERE schools all of which have variations in their training therefore depending on which one he went to it may have been much less difficult. for instance you have winter SERE, Full Spectrum SERE etc... Either way any one who has done it is legit in my book.
This is such a bullshit piece. The military trains all service people in basic survival during basic training. If not then you're going through this training in bivouacs or special forces training. The one part of this propaganda crap is RESISTANCE. Where is that? Why don't you show us how they train flight crews to resist torture? I can go learn how to survive in the woods from a goddam Eagle scout. LMAO
one thing is for certain. these days its easier to get through sere school they can only hit you with an open hand. they used to beat the shit out of you and water board you
and beat the shit out of you again over and over with closed fists until you gave them informatioin they wanted then they gave you a pj&j to pick someone for them to hit and you enjoy. back then you were a tough mutherfucker to graduate.
I couldn't help but notice they didn't show any of the hard parts of SERE. Like the Resistance part. I know a lot of that is classified, but they could give you a sense of it without giving away any details. From what I understand the mock POW camp they put you in is no picnic, and you get a good sense of what it's like to be a POW.
Having been through the Army version of this school I assure you there isnt an easy part of this school. And the resistence phase is tough and highly classified. If you want a sense of what it's like read Bravo-two zero by Andy Mcnabb.
Am i correct in beleiving that most ordinary troops never go through this even though they are front line and subject to capture due to the program having finances cut in the 90's. The reason i ask is that i knew Colonel Rowe who started the program, briefly when i was on UK combat survival training, and every soldier should have this training. The guy in Afghan asa hostage now could have used it.
This training is legit. My buddy said that for the first day of their INDOC all they did was run, all day with 65 pound packs. The only rest they got was when they stopped to submerge themselves in a river and then keep running.
Even if I went in knowing everything they were going to teach me, I'm pretty sure actually doing it would still be very difficult. When it comes to force of will, that can't be taught
hm... well I saw a lot of survival stuff in that vid, but wheres the resistance and escape portion? That looked like a lot more "run" than Army SERE...
I doubt that a short clip montage would give much information about the tactics used. And there is an Army FM on SERE that is available and is unclassified. Much of it is taught at SERE school and clips could have come from that. Im just saying that this school looks more like just the survival training portion (fun part) than all of SERE.
Much of what is done in the resistance and escape stuff is classified. You are 100% correct about the Army FM, bvut there is much more than that that is taught. It would be great to add some R and E into our video, but to be honest, I don't think that it would recruit the type of people that we need, and in the end this is a recruitment video.

I am a SERE Specialist. I am an expert in survival, evasion, resistance, and escape. I can survive anywhere in the world and prepare others to do the same. I prove myself by deed and action. I respect every war fighter and consider their needs before my own. I will remember that the lives of those I influence rest in my hands and if they fail the failure is mine alone. I will keep myself in top physical and mental condition. I will never tarnish the honor of fellow SERE specialists...

There is a female instructor in this video, and you still want to argue about women in SERE? Not to mention the point about SERE not being Spec Ops? Yes, women are not allowed in Spec ops, and based off what you have said, SERE cannot be Spec ops. Like I have stated, based on the fact that a woman is seen in this video as a SERE instructor. That contradicts your point entirely.

SERE isn't special ops.
LordArkanor 2 years ago
people are getting a little confused here. there are TWO different SERE schools, the USAF SERE which is seen here, and then there is the army SERE school. they are two different schools, the USAF SERE is slightly different (focuses more on survival, less on POW) and is not spec ops. the spec ops SERE school is oppisite

Funny, they "forgot" to include details in the RESISTANCE phase, where you are waterboarded, starved, dehydrated, and treated like an animal.
dremelinskov 2 years ago
so you've been through sere and have been waterboarded, starved and dehydrated? I can agree with the treated like an animal part but what they don't do is mistreat members of their own military for the purpose of training. but i guess we're all allowed our 'vision' of what resistance training is like
randompersonsband1 2 years ago
Now hold on there my friend. Unless you've been through it, don't you come in here and tell me what I experienced there. They do it because it's necessary. you are holding information that could compromise our nation, so they need you to be ready to NOT expunge it. The only way is to have the resistance training. If you'd like to be ignorant and shut your eyes, that's fine but don't insult my experiences because you're naive and think everyone "plays by the rules" in our society.
dremelinskov 2 years ago
I wasn't there to be a SERE instructor but I did go through as Aircrew. One of my buddy's is one though and all that gives me a little insight into it. Not going to say I know all about it I just know alot of people fail just going through FAM

No, they don't let women in Real SERE school, I mean they aren't allowed in any form of Special Ops to begin with..
dremelinskov 2 years ago
Yes they OBVIOUSLY do. SERE is not special forces. SERE instructors, because that is what they are, instructors, and you can tell by the badge that is worn on their top right of their BDU uniform. They teach others, they don;t actually go out and do this stuff for themselves.
Steveo16220 2 years ago
Actually SERE is considered spec ops and they dont allow women in spec ops. and yes i know what the AETC badge is. and i know they're instructors but they do go on missions with PJ's and CCT and other special operators
broshamski 2 years ago
wrong. i think there are currently five female instructors and no they do not go out on missions with pj's or cct or any other sf or spec ops. they are instructors and only instructors

Hey, im trying to do a paper on an AirForce career, im chosing SERE command. Im not quite sure how it works, but where would i find resources on who leads the SERE instructors, what they have to do to maybe, maintain the program. Is it an officers job to screen potential SERE instructors? Basically who do these guys report to?
Thanks for you time and any help.
Nemesis2e 2 years ago
btw not nearly as easy as it looks, and the reason they don't show the resistance is because it is classified, as FOUO and Confidential. so obviously it is not aloud to be disclosed to the public.
joeltheghost 2 years ago 12
Thats true. Its so awesome to talk about it but at the same time you can't. The resistance part that is. I puked in a toilet before I hoped on a bus and went over to the resistance portion. Which was a great excuse to use because I had actually puked my guts out.
btw Marine = Fail. Air Force all the way.

@BittingerMovies There are multiple SERE schools all of which have variations in their training therefore depending on which one he went to it may have been much less difficult. for instance you have winter SERE, Full Spectrum SERE etc... Either way any one who has done it is legit in my book.

This is such a bullshit piece. The military trains all service people in basic survival during basic training. If not then you're going through this training in bivouacs or special forces training. The one part of this propaganda crap is RESISTANCE. Where is that? Why don't you show us how they train flight crews to resist torture? I can go learn how to survive in the woods from a goddam Eagle scout. LMAO

one thing is for certain. these days its easier to get through sere school they can only hit you with an open hand. they used to beat the shit out of you and water board you
and beat the shit out of you again over and over with closed fists until you gave them informatioin they wanted then they gave you a pj&j to pick someone for them to hit and you enjoy. back then you were a tough mutherfucker to graduate.
thagonzp 2 years ago
I couldn't help but notice they didn't show any of the hard parts of SERE. Like the Resistance part. I know a lot of that is classified, but they could give you a sense of it without giving away any details. From what I understand the mock POW camp they put you in is no picnic, and you get a good sense of what it's like to be a POW.

Am i correct in beleiving that most ordinary troops never go through this even though they are front line and subject to capture due to the program having finances cut in the 90's. The reason i ask is that i knew Colonel Rowe who started the program, briefly when i was on UK combat survival training, and every soldier should have this training. The guy in Afghan asa hostage now could have used it.

Showing the full thing would go against the point of training it. It would give the person you are evading a way to learn and counteract the course.
t436 2 years ago
I doubt that a short clip montage would give much information about the tactics used. And there is an Army FM on SERE that is available and is unclassified. Much of it is taught at SERE school and clips could have come from that. Im just saying that this school looks more like just the survival training portion (fun part) than all of SERE.
helldamnfart 2 years ago
Much of what is done in the resistance and escape stuff is classified. You are 100% correct about the Army FM, bvut there is much more than that that is taught. It would be great to add some R and E into our video, but to be honest, I don't think that it would recruit the type of people that we need, and in the end this is a recruitment video.
