From the perspective of learning about myself, for me it would have to be SERE, with the main learning points being:

1) You are not as tough as you think
2) The occupants of Room 7 were true heroes
3) Pain hurts
4) 110% is not always the right answer
5) The Code of Conduct is real

I also learned that you can get road rash on your face from a vertical concrete wall if you fall asleep standing up!

When I was first on my team, senior Demo Sgt kept trying to get me sent to SERE. I really did not want to do that school. After going to Ranger school class of 1/80, I had, had enough "I am hard schools" for awhile.
