James Nicholas "Nick" Rowe (February 8, 1938 – April 21, 1989) was a United States Army officer and one of only 34 American prisoners of war to escape captivity during the Vietnam War.[1] Colonel Rowe was credited with developing the rigorous US Army Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) training program taught to high-risk military personnel (such as Special Forces and aircrews) and the U.S. Army doctrine which institutionalizes these techniques and principles to be followed by captured personnel.
quote:
On October 29, 1963, after only three months in country, Rowe was captured by Viet Cong elements along with Captain Humberto "Rocky" R. Versace and Sergeant Daniel L. Pitzer while on an operation to drive a Viet Cong unit out of the village of Le Coeur.[5]Rowe states that the VC were a main force unit due to his observations of their equipment.[6]
Rowe was separated from his fellow Green Berets and spent 62 months in captivity with only brief encounters with fellow American POWs. Rowe was held in the U Minh Forest, better known as the "Forest of Darkness," in extreme southern Vietnam. During most of his five years in captivity Rowe was held in a 3 by 4 by 6 feet (0.91 m × 1.22 m × 1.83 m) bamboo cage.[7] As an intelligence officer, Rowe possessed vital information about the disposition of defenses around the CIDG camps, the locations of mine field, names of friendly Vietnamese, and unit locations and strength. Rowe had left his West Point ring at home in the United States, and he told his captors that he was a draftee engineer charged with building schools and other civil affairs projects. The Viet Cong interrogated him unsuccessfully. They gave him some engineering problems to solve and Rowe, relying on the basic instruction in engineering he'd received at West Point, successfully maintained his deception.[7]
However, Rowe's deceptive cover was blown when the Viet Cong managed to obtain a list of American high-value prisoners-of-war (POWs), and his name was in the list, identifying him as an intelligence officer. This enraged the VC, prompting them to order his execution.
Rowe was then led deep into the jungle to be shot. When his would-be executioners were distracted by a flight of American helicopters, he overpowered his guard, escaped and flagged down a UH-1 helicopter. He was rescued on December 31, 1968.[7][8] Rowe had been promoted to Major during captivity.[9]
In 1971, he authored the book, Five Years to Freedom, an account of his years as a prisoner of war. In 1974, he retired from the Army.
Yeah what a bitch, amirite? Disgusting even!
quote:
In 1981, Rowe was recalled to active duty as a lieutenant colonel to design and build a course based upon his experience as a POW. Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) is now a requirement for graduation from the U.S. Army Special Forces Qualification Course. SERE is taught at the Colonel James "Nick" Rowe Training compound at Camp Mackall, North Carolina. It is considered by many to be the most important advanced training in the special operations field. Navy, Air Force and Marine Special Operations personnel all attend variations of this course taught by their respective services.[7]
Whaaaaaaa? SOF units taking this cowards advice? Most important training in the pipeline?!?! 11 crayzeeeee

SERE was the best course I ever took.

Are you fricking kidding me? We are in a much different place right now than we are during a war time against an actual enemy.
We aren't at war with iran, we have no reason for iran to take our sailors hostage, and we have no reason for our sailors to turn themselves over to iran.
To pretend the scenarios are anywhere similar shows your total fricking stupidity

I went to Navy SERE in Maine with a bunch of Force Recon Marines. Amazing how they could beat the shite out of you but never leave a mark.

It was one of the most professional courses I ever did, with extremely hard working, well trained, and passionate cadre. The only school that I've done where some of the cadre cried when we graduated.
There are aspects of it that need an overhaul, but that's being addressed outside the SERE system already.

The SERE guys are a rare breed. I don't know how they can do it day in and day out. I would never ever want that job.
