So yes - I went through SERE training in May 2022, but I just got around to editing and uploading my experience with the training from my point of view! 😁 Of course I'm unable talk about a good portion of the training, but I still hope that this video can give you a brief glimpse into what I experienced - the good and the not so good lol. And if you are scheduled to go to SERE anytime soon, I wish you all the best! If I can get through it (barely), then you can too! 😅 If you have any questions about the training, feel free to leave me a comment or hit me up on my socials!

A selfie in the men's room with the toilet bowls in the background. Definitely one of those special & magical moments in life. Your grandchildren will cherish it.
Nice video, it’s cool to see it all from a student’s perspective and I think you did a really great job of explaining things without…explaining things lol. The course is a reality check for most, I love how you said you might hear things about the course before, but everyone’s experience is a little different which is absolutely true. If you’re about to go through the course, maybe it’s Sunday before you start and you’re in your hotel room right now, imagine yourself graduating. Don’t focus on what you have ahead of you, focus on something you’re looking forward to afterward. Thousands graduate every year, and you’ll be a graduate too soon enough, but you have to earn it like everyone else. Give it all you got while you have the chance because you’ll only go through the course at Fairchild once.
Thanks for the upload and view of the journey. Linking up with the recruiter and going over doing this in the reserves. My friends brother is in the Air Guard here in Minneapolis-St. Paul said, "No, you gotta get in a in-demand job that's easy and gets your rank up." So far he hasn't seem to move up far and he's been in 6 years. I say enlisting is a challenge and you gotta be willing to take more challenges to make it worthwhile.
Congratulations 🎉 I feel super nervous cause all I can do is assume but seeing that you are smiling at the end , I’m almost thinking I’ll take the flight attendant job they have .
Haha being nervous is all part of the experience. Just remember that every person going through that is feeling the same way. And hey - if I can make it through, then anyone can! 😅 And definitely go for it! You’ll never know unless you try! :)))
I currently just graduated bmt and now I’m fundies in my aircrew tech school. I’m airborne mission systems. Idk if it’s different for you since you’re flight attendant but I’ve been dreading sere ever since the day I been informed about it. I’m 19 and literally have no experience at all with any of this. But seeing you still smile and make it through gives me a lil hope for myself I’m just sooooo scared omg
Haha it’s what you make of it. Each persons experience is their own. I know a lot of people around your age that went through with me. And if they can make it through, and if I can make it through, you can as well! 😎 🫡 Congrats on graduating and if you have other questions, just lemme know! 😁
late to the party but watching this now the schedule for the days of training seems a lot better than it is in ECAC cause that course barely gives you time to eat at all for the week you're there
My experience through SERE 4 years ago: Water survival: fun if you're a strong swimmer, otherwise it's hell. They give you LPUs, but...eh. If you're scared of the water, it is what it is lol It's a VERY long few days. And you'll be cold. RT: definitely got called a whore a few times, but once you finish training, you realize it was kinda fun lmao. Just remember they won't let anything happen to you and are psychologists are watching very closely the entire time. Survival training: I HATED it. Hiking in the snow around mountains with no food for days? Nah... It is the most meaningful, memorable training I've ever gone through, and I trained in my job for 4 years. You'll feel like superman when you leave. You're capable than a lot more than you think you are
My SERE was 3 weeks a Fairchild in February, 4 days in Pensacola, in early March and I later went to helicopters and has two days again in Fairchild. I never had the opportunity to get the "advanced beatings" in RT part duex.
Congratulations! Do you need to be a swimmer for this training? That’s the only thing I’m nervous about. I can’t swim, and the AF does not require its members to
Haha I’m not an avid swimmer as well so I was pretty nervous going into it. But (as far as I know) you don’t need to necessarily know how to swim. Just be vocal about your skill set the day of the water course. They’ll just separate you into a smaller group so they can keep an extra eye out for you once your in the water with your vest and everything! Their number one priority is your safety. 🫡 Good luck and if there is anything else you have questions about, just lemme know! 😁
If you’re already in the military, any known food allergies would already be documented prior to joining and if there are waivers for those allergies, those (I would assume) can be passed onto the instructors/medical at SERE 😁 I’m not 100% on that though haha 😅
So you don’t stay in the field or in the camp any more? You get to come back to the hotel every night? When I went through the camp I stayed in the field for a week and in “camp” for a week?
@@frassix_youtube that makes sense. I thought they changed it for covid or something like that. I was a loadmaster on c-17’s stationed in Charleston Sc. Fly safe!
Hey! And I unfortunately don’t have any extra patches asides from the few I got :/ sorry! Maybe if you hit up anyone that is going soon, you can ask them to get one! I think it’s around $20 per patch if I do recall 😬
@@frassix_youtubeGreetings, it would be nice if I did. I work in security and a police trainer. But, one of my hobbies is patch collecting. If you run up on someone, let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.
I believe to become an instructor at SERE is 5.5 months. But for anyone going just as a student is only a couple of weeks! 😁 (I think that’s right lol)

Thank you for this…these are some of the very rewarding occupations that don’t get spoken about very often.

I couldn’t decide what to do at first but after watching your video made seeing your energy I do now thanks man
I’m glad that I could help you out a bit with your decision! 😄 wishing you the best! 🤞🏼

Please keep posting flight attendant vids!! Living vicariously through you until I can hopefully cross train😂
Haha well my FA career thus far has been pretty lackluster but thanks for the support 😂 and hopefully! Definitely go for it if you get the chance! 😬
My SERE was 3 weeks a Fairchild in February, 4 days in Pensacola, in early March and I later went to helicopters and has two days again in Fairchild. I never had the opportunity to get the "advanced beatings" in RT part duex.
I’m considering going, thank you 😊
No problem!! 😁 glad I could give some insight
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was not expecting that at 9:30 🥴😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you
Really good vid brother ☑️‼️

@@frassix_youtube thank you so much !!
So you went through sere school, what about the army? Do you mix with other branches? How can I train for this?
you get to stay in a hotel all throughout SERE?? im so confused 😅
I saw that vid 3 days ago. 7:00
Oh God, I might be doing this, but I am a terrible swimmer and cant swim atleast not very basic swimming. Lol
I have food allergies. Is it likely I could be accepted into SERE Training ?
If you’re already in the military, any known food allergies would already be documented prior to joining and if there are waivers for those allergies, those (I would assume) can be passed onto the instructors/medical at SERE 😁
I’m not 100% on that though haha 😅

Haha I wish I could have 😭 but yes - that’s part of the full sere training but I didn’t have to go through that portion for my job. 😬
@@frassix_youtube that makes sense. I thought they changed it for covid or something like that. I was a loadmaster on c-17’s stationed in Charleston Sc. Fly safe!

Hey, vo any patches? I am patch collector.

Did you have to jump out of an airplane?
Do you have to know how to swim😂?
Sorry for the really late reply 😅 but no - everyone who goes through doesn’t necessarily need to know how to swim before going through the course. 😬
Isn’t sere training 5.5 months?
I believe to become an instructor at SERE is 5.5 months. But for anyone going just as a student is only a couple of weeks! 😁 (I think that’s right lol)
