survival skills training is a crucial

00:06.070 --> 00:08.181
skill to have when and if the time is

00:08.181 --> 00:10.403

00:10.403 --> 00:12.910
it could be the difference between life

00:12.920 --> 00:15.142
and death as a part of readiness within

00:15.142 --> 00:17.360
our military survival , evasion ,

00:17.370 --> 00:20.050
resistance and escape or sear is an

00:20.050 --> 00:22.161
essential tool all military personnel

00:22.161 --> 00:24.161
should have under their belt . Sear

00:24.161 --> 00:26.106
instructors ensure airmen have the

00:26.106 --> 00:28.050
necessary know how to survive . In

00:28.050 --> 00:30.217

00:41.130 --> 00:43.330
things to make their lives easier uh

00:43.330 --> 00:46.150
and survive to the point where they can

00:46.150 --> 00:48.206
take care of themselves until rescue

00:48.206 --> 00:50.150
assets are able to get to them and

00:50.150 --> 00:52.380
bring them home safely . You know ,

00:52.380 --> 00:54.810
once you're down behind enemy lines ,

00:54.820 --> 00:56.931
it could be very scary . You're gonna

00:56.931 --> 00:58.931
have a lot of adrenaline , a lot of

00:58.931 --> 01:00.931

01:07.020 --> 01:09.076
between them making it home or not .
