It sounds like a bad time was had by all, or have I stumbled into some complications with OP SEC?
... but they're working the data call to see if they can absorb the demand.
Went to SERE about a month ago. I think SERE is great for the average young sailor who has never spent a night in the field or felt threatened by violence, but I don't think that it should be a huge priority for Marine pilots. We've been through a lot of BS, starting in Quantico (or the boat school), up until now.
Was it miserable--yes. Did I learn anything--certainly. Should it be a requirement--ehh, probably not. Did I buy the t-shirt--sadly, yes.
