“...but I can say that I don’t care to repeat the course.”

“I was a young man back then and I remember thinking that every male in the USA should be forced to spend two weeks at SERE.”

That sounds like a life saving idea.

Oh, sorry. Thought this was an Obama birth certificate or an Obama - Blagovich Illinois Senate Seat thread.

Funniest Post of week :)

I hate when people do not capitalize the word Marine. I also hate that the military is letting journalists have access to places like this.

That said, my husband attended SERE school. I know a lot of Marines and naval Officers who attended as well.

“Let me tell you as someone who has seen both sides of the training there is no more better qualified instructors than SERE. “

That’s good to hear.

Thank you Sere Doc for your service for our country.

Something like that might well be the reason my hubby is claustrophobic and has trouble sleeping at night.

You are correct and let me expand on your statement AND FOR THE LOVE OF OUR COUNTRY.

I asked my husband about SERE and he just said, “If you like eating lizards, it’s ok.”

At least you went though NCO Training, I went over in '65 came back to the world, got some stripes nailed on.

Volunteered to go back, talk about learning by doing.

Now, now, God’s gifts are way more special than me, BUT God sure did give me a healthy dose of common sense.

Smiling at you and thanks fanfan.
