Ep 273: SERE Pipeline Deep Dive with SERE Specialist Kortney James!

Send us Fan MailSurvival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape- or SERE- is not just a training you'll go through in the Air Force Special Warfare pipelines. As you all know (we have the most informed and well-read teammates here on the podcast, in Discord, and on the IG page), SERE is a robust and interesting career field in the Air Force. We wanted to do a deep dive into all things SERE, so we brought on our friend Kortney James, a SERE Specialist, to get down into the nitty-gritty of everything it takes to make it through the SERE pipeline. Thanks to Kortney for being willing to sit down with us and get you the answers you need to pursue your dream of becoming a SERE Specialist in the Air Force!
