Survival school sucks...

[Vandal]

Good training. Glad I went. Don't want to go again.

Couldn't of said it better...

My buddies didn't tell me what a crappy 17 days that was...consider yourselves informed if you haven't already been.

what did you think it was going to be like?

 

[PureMuscle]

Are the interrogator(s) or enemy allowed to hit you, because that would piss me off?

Worst part of survival for me was the "box". My knees have never hurt so badly! If some a$$hole wants to get information out of me all he has to do is show me the god **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ed MFing box.

Dude, relax. You may get it when you're higher than a butter bar or O-2, but don't belittle folks because they're not flying Texans, Tweets, or newly trained Herc drivers (or aircrew?) just out of survival school. Nothing against those acft, but remember where you started with pistons.

Most Capt's/Maj's and up get it and are cool...keep an eye on them and follow their example. With all due respect sir, check the ego.

*disclaimer* If I misread or misunderstood your reply then I apologize in advance.

Cheers!

You are going to have a hard life in the C-130 community with a $hit attitude like that. If you cannot handle a little good natured ribbing, get out while your still alive! You will be eaten whole. Arrogance has no place in the C-130 community. And yes..I flew some pistons and now fly a jet (and own a piston airplane), and which one is more challenging...pistons.

As to survival training, I do not know anyone that wanted to go but was dammn glad they did. I can tell you from personal experience that you fondly look back on that training when you are sweating your sack off in some sweltering dusty tent during an intel briefing about the REAL threats you will encounter in the box. You take a closer look at your evasion charts, make a mental note where the bullseyes are, where the threats are reported, carve your crew code into your nugget, think hard about what you wrote down on the ISOPREP card...ect. Then you put your crap on a pull the slide back on you low bidder 9 mil. Games are over...you hope you really paid attention during SERE school.

Some other training that sucks, Chem warfare...again, dammn glad we did again before deploying.

Quit bitchin (disregard...your aircrew) and do the mission...

So he can talk sh- to me and I can't reply? WTF?

 

[SIG600]

Beadwindow! Probably a moot point... but I'm starting to read details on Survival School on here that are boardering on TMI. Dunno about you guys, but we have to sign a letter of non-disclosure about all our training.

PIO thats a kickass picture in your avatar.

Hehe if by non-disclosure agreement you mean classified "SECRET" you are correct...I haven't said anything, I don't think the suckiness is classified
