In fact my SERE class was all chopper crew. I was the odd duck and the cadre all seem to relish in thinking I was someone I was not. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

On another note, one of my favorite expierences from SERE was when an instructor was tossing a female around for "reeducation" and one of the guys took the bait and asked if the instructor was practicing for when he got home. Good times were had by all.

Now that's funny, right there...

Resistance Training

I never worked in RT, but had many friends who did.. It did affect all to some degree and some to a great degree. Lot's of divorce and unusual changes of station. I worked as a field instructor and then at Homestead as water instructor. That was a ducky job.. Water jumps Tues and Thurs and working on Biscayne bay. The Water Survival School (Parachuting) was great duty. We did host a lot of CCT, PJ, and other SOF who needed night water certification. We had the boats. The Air Force navy. That gave us a chance to jump a lot of other air craft and see how it's really done.. Those slots are now held by MFF personal and when I got out slots to MFF were very very rare. I did get one of my guys a slot to Combat Dive School and he paid me back by going SF. I saw him at Ft. Bragg in 82. We called him "Squirmy", but he had put on muscle and was a huge body with a little head. L. Yerrich. What I remember I will never forget..

It's a shame there isn't a refresher course. Camp slappy optional.
