After Training Changes, Air Force SERE School Sees Near-Historic Low Attrition

The Air Force's elite survival school just accomplished an almost unheard-of feat: graduating a full class with almost no dropouts.

Twenty-six of 28 students graduated the Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Specialist apprentice course last week, making it the most successful graduating class in years, according to Air Education and Training officials. Typically, about half of each class washes out during the final apprentice course because of its demanding nature, AETC said.

While the school doesn’t keep full historical records, the latest attrition rate is the lowest in recent memory.

Near total completion?  Any special ops. branch with that kind of success rate is going to get lots of people killed.   And maybe, just maybe, those wonderful changes make it more likely women can make the cut.  Nah, the military wouldn't be involved in PC. *****rollingeyes*****

What this means is they aren't doing it right.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Yeah,THAT!

I remember back in the the Carter years,when the PC Crowd in DC was trying to get women in Special Forces as team members. IIRC,they hand-picked two women officers and sent them to Camp McCall to begin training,and neither made it past selection.

The Dims were so serious about this they DEMANDED that the SFTG command accept and pass the women though the course,and when they refused,a Lt Colonel was forced to resign,and two senior NCO's were forced into early retirement.

I wasn't there,but I both heard about it,and read about it in news reports.
