Which Branch of the Military?

jesus have fun I have 9 months left on recruiting duty then im done MARINES all the way Semper Fi

 

Leave in 18 days for BMT for the Air Force will be going for S.E.R.E. Instructor. Been ready for the past 7 months

 

Ugh. Enjoy that.

 

after BMT your gonna head over to the 342 for the SERE selection course. i was there not long ago for PJ Indoc

good luck, never quit

 

yeah, I've been looking forward to it. BMT, Indoc, 3-4 more months of waiting then SERE school, then HALO and combat scuba (optional) PFT like I would pass up that chance. Its go big or go home for me anymore now days, hahaha

United States Marine Corps.

Due to a health issue that cropped up since I was discharged I have been unable to join the Coast Guard as a Reservist.

Semper Fidelis. Semper Paratus.


When I did try to join the Coasties, the Recruiter (a former Marine from 3/3) told me that largest percentage of prior service folks in Coast Guard are former Marines. At least I was not alone in my desire to serve.

 

US Air Force, Ellsworth SD deployed right now about to come home

 

FYI: the only Indoc at the 342nd is the pararesuce indoc. the SERE course is not refered to as Indoc. its a selection course... it only 10 days. PJ Indoc is almost 10 weeks. they are 2 very diff courses

also freefall and combat dive are not part of the mandatory SERE instructor pipeline courses. after you receive your beret you can aply for those courses while you are at your duty station and wait until the AF sends your there.

i'm not trying to burst your bubble by any means, just want to makes sure you have the correct info going in to the program

again, good luck

Spent 12 years as an enlisted Marine, and reached the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6). Just got a commission through MECEP, and now I'm a 2nd Lieutenant.

 

Thanks for correcting my terminology, that is what I meant the SERE "selection course" (a few of guys i got to know in the DEP just started Indoc for PJ and CCT so sometimes it jsut comes out as indoc instead of Selection course) and after SERE school freefall and combat dive being optional.
So no bubble being burst here. Thanks for clarification.

 

SERE.... uggh, worst month of my air force career! plus, they had just gotten record breaking snow fall during my class!

 

If remember correctly, it was right at a month, with Survival, Water Survival, and Parachute.

 

yea, i believe the land course was just right at over 2 weeks... still sucked imo though i loved happy camp compared to the outdoor shit, i can't stand the cold and 20+ feet of snow!
