Hello. I am Prior Service Army and currently OCONUS as a civilian on contract. I am trying to track down information regarding re-enlisting as a SERE Specialist in either the Air Guard or Air Force Reserve.
I would greatly appreciate either a POC for specific units, or a Reserve Component Functional Manager-type.
I really appreciate any information I can get, so I'll thank you in advance for all your help.
Questions up front (on the off chance that someone in here can answer them):
-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 voluntarily raise that OPTEMPO?
-Are the various RC units mission-/environment-specific?
-Is there a difference in how a SERE Specialist operates (*not* as in "operator") in a unit that is inside vs outside of AFSOC?
Again, thank you for your help here. I have time, so would prefer to be as informed as possible.
