~ RETRAINING ~
This page contains information for
personnel who are in the military at present and wish to retrain into the
SERE Specialist career field.
Things To Think About
Two things wash cross trainees out of
SEREIC........
You
failed to adequately prepare yourself physically for SERE duty.
We can't
stress to you enough the importance of physical fitness. You have to be
prepared to enter the SERE Indoctrination Course with rock solid confidence
in your PT abilities. Hours of running and hours of calisthenics is a normal
day at the Indoc Course. The SERE Indoctrination Course is not a place you
go with hopes of improving your physical fitness scores.
You are
not ready to be a technical training student again.
SERE Cadre
treat re-trainees (regardless of rank) the same as a no stripe airman fresh
out of BMT. This is not to harass or belittle anyone of rank but rather to
allow lower ranking teammates the opportunity to learn valuable leadership
skills. No special favors are offered by the SERE cadre and everyone is
treated the equal.
Checklist For Retraining Applications ***CHECKLIST HAS CHANGED AS OF 04/03/2008 07:47:00 AM ***
Each year the SERE Career Field Manager determines the
positions open to each pay grade. We are open to SrA, SSgt's, and
TSgt's who are eligible to re-train (check with your MPF). The number of
slots varies each year but we never fill all that open up. If you are
interested in re-training your first priority is to contact your MPF and
find out if you are eligible.
We cannot pull you from vital AFSC’s, as we
are not critically manned at this time. If you can, contact a SERE
Specialist on your base and talk to them about the job or email us at SEREIC@LACKLAND.AF.MIL and we
can help fill in some of the blanks. Also, you can talk to other AFSC's or
aircrew who have gone through the USAF Survival School. Click here
