Hey everyone, if you're really thinking about joining the Air Force, I've created a "Joining the Air Force Starter Pack" Playlist. It will assist you in your journey. Good luck.

I really appreciate you creating this channel and helping us with our research. You have helped me with my research so much by watching your videos, and I've watched nearly all of them. I plan on joining this year, but I am training to become more physically fit and training my mindset first. I hope to get special forces. I can't thank you enough for being so helpful along my journey!

I just completed my PAST test. Was originally going in as Special Reconnaissance, but failed my 500m swim by 6 seconds. My scores were 12 pull ups, 65 sit ups, 50 push ups, 10:14 run time, passed both underwaters, then 500m 15:06.. That failed me for the day, they are very serious about everything you do and if you only do the bare minimum for each exercise they will not be impressed. They want competitive numbers. I'm now going to go through the SERE Specialist program because I need to ship ASAP cause parents hate me lol. A lot of people failed that day at the PAST / IFT test. You guys got this, I almost gave up multiple times on my run and my 500m, failing is better than quitting always and they will remind you of that. Just get through it.

First of all, your barber is a BEAST! That’s the cleanest blend I’ve seen in a while!

Great video. Super informative. I'm working on getting ready to do SERE with the reserves and its great to have an example of the proper form for the workouts.

[jacobclark]

I went through the Navy SERE course in Maine in the middle of the winter 2005. I woke up in the snow from a nightmare that I was robbing a McDonalds at gunpoint. While the worker was opening the register and throwing money at me, I was smacking it out of the way and demanding a burger. Never been hungrier in my life. lol. and cold. I went into the course at 180lbs and in only a week came out at 165lbs

Retired USAF flat belly MSgt..24 years...being a SERE specialist was a dream of mine. I think I could have graduated as a SERE Specialist..but not Pararescue or CCT. But I was out before I could start..I had vision issues.

My favorite part about sere was the *can’t talk about it*

The best way to learn how to survive is to go to the harshest environments available to you and practice. The best training in the world with these folks is a great addition but if you don't practice any of this on your own, you won't know who you really are when shtf. I know this because I've lived in the coldest and the hottest (-60f to 125f) places on earth for years at a time without power or running water etc while hunting and gathering a lot of my food for fun. Its all about return on investment of your energy expenditures and consciously controlling your bodily processes. No other animal on the planet has ever been able to do that like we can, and its the reason our species survived the ice age without modern clothing or footwear. I will strongly consider becoming a SERE instructor after I finish this next season of wildland firefighting

Hey Jody! I just found your channel and I really like it so far. I'm interested in enlisting to do this job but information on it is very obscure. Do you know if there are any swimming requirements as of 2020?
