NESA Mission Aircrew School Aircrew Survival Course

Noticed this intriguing placeholder on the NESA site:

http://www.nesa.cap.gov/mas_survival.htm

Can any of the NESA types on here share a little advance info?

I don't know anything about this course, but I can try to connect you with the MAS Commandant if you like.

WOW! SERE School for CAP! 

[Ed Bos]

Hah, I certainly hope nobody is marketing it that way... More of a "S" school unless we can do all the "ERE" fun stuff.

SEREously!?!? Oooooooh!!!

[SarDragon]

Ed - did I not use enough winky smilies? I'll fix it.

a2 -  :clap: :clap:

[Ed Bos]

Winky smilies make all the difference.

Besides, if we were offering a CAP SERE School, wouldn't we have to create a uniform item to indicate how TactiCool the graduate was? Blaze orange ascots? Yellow berets?

That just seems like a lot of extra work on the schoolhouse folks to start stocking up on that stuff, so it'll clearly have to be less awesome.

That would be great, thanks.

There's been some discussion here in VA about Water Survival, with a ground-school portion and a swim test. Evidently something's being developed at a national level, but wings are being instructed to cover certain items in the interim.

I'd love to know whether this NESA class might cover that?

WOW! SERE School for CAP! 

Are they doing it up at Fairchild?
