Survival, 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.

The Air Force is looking for America's best- not just for Air Force Special Warfare but for the entire Air Force. One of the main questions we get is, "How early should I start training for the Air Force- and what should I do?" Well, as always, we brought on the Subject Matter experts to address just that for Air Force Special Operations hopefuls and everyone across the United States looking to become part of the world's greatest Air Force! 

JD Mata and Zach Kinninger are experienced athletes and coaches who went from accomplished Top 25 collegiate football teams to the Special Warfare Candidate Course. While working with the best coaching staff in the DoD at Joint Base San Antonio, their team realized that they needed to go above and beyond to get a higher success rate. 

The USAF Special Warfare Pre-Accession Preparation Manual was born from that initial idea. After thousands of man-hours utilizing cutting-edge research and tons of data, the SWCC team was able to field the step-by-step playbook for success in Air Force Special Warfare pipelines and beyond.
