SERE Survival Training 

Been there done that (1983)! Fond memories of the "BOX" and the all night torture sessions! They didn't show that part ;-)

Just graduated!! Excellent experience. I went to Kittery, ME for my training as an Aircrewman. Possibly best training ever.

2:42 Instructor: “To prepare them for the next phase of training” Student: dies in sink hole behind the instructor. RIP

I know Mike Tuttle. He was my 1st Sgt when I was with 1st Btn, 12th Marines in Kaneohe Bay. Hawaii, he is one hell of an exemplaray person, and shaped my life for the better

Went through a little while back. Mr Tuttle was my instructor and he was outstanding!

Great SERE Video! - former Navy Aircrew Survival Equipmentman (PR2)

When I was a teenager I went to a survival school in Maine and the military staff at this school donated a lot of winter survival gear to us. The school was Redington Pond School only existed for 6 years in the 70's

Wow.. I remember that school. Brings back some memories..

Ah! Memories! The RTF is such a cool place!

I got lucky when I went through and was there in November 2012..no snow just lots of rain and bone chillingly cold!

The last one counts as additional or advanced training which can be requested but is often denied because of the Marines already spending that money on that training but you are right about all those/

I know this area well and my sister has a house nearby. Are not you worried about Navy men wandering off the property and civilian incursion by people hiking the Appalachian Trail in the good weather months? What about hunters? That area is pretty well wide open as far as I can tell. Thanks for posting the video.

I thought you could only be a SERE specialist in the air Force...that's awesome that this is also a career in the Navy.

They dont like to talk about it, but yes this is where the water boarding and torture train go on.

Was there (Naval Aircrew) in late spring 1972 Rangeley Mountain Maine ........Brutal, but was well worth it, and I would not do it again for anything. Luckly you only have to do it once in a career. I now have a much better understanding of what my deceased Father experienced as a WWII POW. What did I learn? go to any lengths, suffer any hardship so as NOT to be captured, and if I was captured this training just might save your life (but no guarantee's). PS; there were also two Army Rangers with us and I can tell you they are worthy or their reputation.

good job

thats incorrect. You can also be an AirCrew member or simply a Marine Officer who attained the rank of Major or higher. You can also request to go to SERE as an incentive for reenlistment. However, if you choose the final option, it's incredibly difficult because they'll only take the best of the best Marines to go.

I went through sere in 1991. I'll never forget that school

Reminds me of the MWTS

I love snowshoeing and hiking in the snow. This seems like a nice hobby for me! How do I enroll?

From Maine I do this for fun. Snow shoes a no go

Can i get to go there if im a sailor

In Vietnam there were a lot of lost soldiers and there's stories about them surviving.

Recon is totally different. Recon is SOC which basically means there at the disposal of the Marines only. MARSOC is in SOCOM and is at the disposal of anyone who needs them. MARSOC Marines get better weapons also because SOCOM has its own budget.

And all pilots and aircrews also.

hey i just signed up for this car to let me know a little about it ?!

do all marines go through SERE?

@MoJoThundRpants not allowed to be aired

Its the Marines so its going to hold that Marine intensity. Nothing in the Marines is easy. To become a SERE instructor you would have to go through it first and become a Recon, Force Recon, or MARSOC Marine first.

do you have to eat bugs and kill live animals? just wondering

I would really like to get back in touch with Mike Tuttle, that man took me from being a screw up 20 years ago to being a successful business owner and investor today

Never enough training to evade capture go navy

@h5u7p5gt only recon and marsoc

Looks like Bridgeport.. did the scout skier package along with a few recon guys....cold and wet as shit, and there wasn't a day that went by were at least one guy on your team was ready to ring out. Fucking gear suck, typical 10% navy funding.

boots boots boots

@h5u7p5gt no

Bunch of grey hairs teaching the young.

What they don't mention is the torture. The reason our troops are so comfortable torturing detainees is because they learn those techniques in this school.
