Navy SERE Training
Sunday April 23, 2006
The Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) course held at the Navy’s remote training site in the mountains of Maine is designed to save lives.
The students who attend this intensive Navy course are the ones who have a greater risk of being stranded behind enemy lines, such as aviators, aircrewmen, Special Forces and force reconnaissance personnel. The scary-looking dude in the picture is an instructor. (Official Navy Photo)

As a vetran of the Navy River Patrol Group/Forces I had to take SERE training in Virginia in the late winter.
I found out what I can really take under stress!
I did SERE at Oak Harbor WA in 1970 before going over as an ” Advisor”, it helped and i learned how to survive. i still practice it and updated info in the mountains of Washington at least once / twice a year. I feel in my natural environment there, me against nature, …real survival with just the basics…where yu have to think and “survive” for real. If 70 % of the civilian populance went down in a plane in the mountains, they would not know how to find food / water or shelter and its only yards away from them. Everyone should go through it. Especial troublesome kids and gang members vice a “boot camp”.
