Summer 1980. SERE Survival Instructors
The summer after my Sophomore year, I spent a couple weeks as an Air Force survival instructor. I had really enjoyed the survival training after my freshman year, so I decided to learn as much as I could by learning to teach it.
We spent a week or so learning things like firecraft, shelter building, setting traps, and some food prep like skinning rabbits and chipmunks, and basic survival cooking.
Then we took a group of 7-10 basic cadets out into the woods for a week, map reading, building shelters and escape and evasion techniques. Did for two groups. Lots of fun.
