Is SERE CBT training necessary if you are not deploying or going TDY overseas?

I have nothing against the SERE CBT training, I am just wondering everyone's opinion on this. If you are stationed CONUS, and you are not going TDY or deploying do you think it is necessary or a waste of 4 hours to go through this CBT? Should this just be required if you get orders or should it stay as is?

Your risk of being rolled-up while back home is minimal and that's why you are not doing the full on course. That said, we have bad guys inside the wire and you could find yourself in a bad situation. To ask you to conduct 4 hours of CBT once a year isn't a large price to pay. If anything, it is a bit of a history lesson with resilience stories built in.

Very good points. Of all the CBTs that I have to sit through, I actually enjoy the SERE one. It somehow seems more practical than many of the others that we have to do.

Fair enough :) honestly of all the cbts I have to do, I find this one the most interesting to have to sit through.
