After that, write down some questions before contacting us again. One assignment you will have with your AF Recruiter will be to review the attached "SERE Fact Sheet", sign it if you understand, and turn it in with your enlistment package. After you research the career field, contact your local Air Force Recruiter about enlisting as SERE Specialist, AFSC 1T0X1. This is a guaranteed job and you will enter under the Guaranteed Training Enlistment Program or “GTEP”. Keep in mind that all applicants must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD) and described below. The key to this whole process is patience and stay on top of the paperwork. Don't assume anything and ask questions to the right people. FYI: We can answer questions on being a SERE Specialist but the recruiting process is run/owned by Air Force Recruiting Service.

So...it is important to stay in touch with your assigned AF Recruiter.

6. Psychological Evaluation:

a. Conducted at Lackland during BMT.

Next, if you meet the requirements, the basic Non-Prior Service (NPS) path will be for you to complete the enlistment process at your local recruiting station/MEPS, and then receive a report date to Lackland AFB, Texas. Be aware that the report date lines up with your scheduled SST-OC Course date immediately following BMT. Once at Lackland you will be assigned to Basic Military Training (BMT), but will meet with SERE Cadre to discuss your future as a SERE Specialist during scheduled “Mentoring Sessions”. After BMT you will then be assigned to the SST-OC Course nearby at Medina Annex. If you graduate the 15-day long SST-OC Course you will PCS directly to Fairchild AFB, Washington. If married, you will be given 6 days, with exception, to move your immediate family to Fairchild AFB, WA. You may be apprehensive about what you are getting yourself into, totally understand. However, many like you have tried out for SERE and have succeeded. Keep in mind, if for some reason you are looking at being cut from the team due to poor performance the SERE Cadre will have a multitude of discussions and paperwork about you before any decision is made. You will also receive continual feedback/counseling and have the ability to correct your performance. The decision to remove a candidate from training is taken very seriously and everyone understands the consequences of such a decision. The SERE Cadre will make every effort to assist you in training but understand some individuals are not cut out to be a SERE Specialist. Do me a favor; do not make any major decisions about your future in SERE while in the field. Emotions are running high at times and you may regret your decision. Wait until you are back on base. Most of the time you will look back and say to yourself, “I am better prepared for what I just experienced” and “That was not so bad”. Finally, you can talk all you want about training into the fast paced, and ever changing career field of being a SERE Specialist, but NOTHING speaks louder than YOUR ACTIONS during training.

Two Major Reason’s GTEP Candidate’s do not make it through:

1. Not physically prepared, many cannot meet the minimum requirement. WORKOUT; see suggested “SERE Workout” attachment below. 2. Not mentally prepared, to work hard, live with some discomfort, and push beyond your comfort level. Remember, thousands of other candidates have succeeded.

Here are the keys to the kingdom in order to succeed:

1 Communication—both directions to the required level and follow-up!

2. Integrity-Ensure the job is done without others looking over your shoulder.

3. Teamwork—Mission accomplishment w/fewest problems. Work together and watch out for one another.

4. Motivation—Positive attitude is contagious, so is a negative one

If you still have questions about the SERE Specialist career field contact us using information below. Otherwise, go see your local AF Recruiter to get started and join the team. Good Luck!!
