I did not attend SERE School, but perhaps some of you who have would want to weigh in?

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
I went to SERE school in 1968. At the time, we were deprived of food, put in small boxes, sent on 7 mile marches, run thru a simulated enemy zone and put thru an enemy camp with interrogation, “open handed” smackdowns (which hurt pretty darn good) but that was all pre-waterboarding.
When they had us do an about face at 3 AM or so and started playing the Star Spangled Banner, I’m sure mine was not the only face with tears.
Over the years, I always think back to that time when confronted with a nasty situation, always figuring “I handled SERE, I can handle this.”
