Hello. I am Prior Service Army and currently OCONUS on contract. I am trying to track down any and all information regarding re-enlisting as a SERE Specialist in either the Air Guard or Air Force Reserve.
If there is no one here who can answer the following questions, I would greatly appreciate a POC for either specific units, a recruiter who is not just going pass me off to a subsequent POC, or a Reserve Component Functional Manager-type. Or a combination of all of the above.
I really appreciate any information I can get, so I'll thank you in advance for all your help.
Questions:
-How do I become a SERE Specialist? (As Prior Service Army, and being OCONUS.)
-What is the "pipeline" and timeline for a Reserve Component SERE Specialist?
-What is a drill-in-the-life of an RC SERE Specialist?
-What is the OPTEMPO of an RC SERE Specialist?
-Is it difficult to get extra training?
-Is it difficult to raise your OPTEMPO?
-Are the various RC units mission-/environment-specific?
-Is there a difference in how a SERE Specialist operates in a unit that is inside or outside of AFSOC?
Again, thank you for your help here. I have time, so would prefer to be as informed as possible.
