I couldn't imagine serving in the military and never deploy overseas. I served, active duty, with the 604th ASOCS at Camp Red Cloud, South Korea. I miss those awesome guys! Upon the closure of CRC, they redesignated ASOCS to ASOS and relocated them to Camp Humphreys.
why is it that on the website for Airforce TACP its considered special warfare but when you become a TACP you aren't considered a part of an sf group you just go to regular infantry? and you don't get nearly as much training as let's say a ranger or a green beret would in combat its only JTAC focused and i get it that's their job but shouldn't they be very skilled in all areas of combat? at the highest lvl or they do have the chance to become proficient in all areas and it's that all on the operator?
I believe they are ASOS. They are still in a combat role in Air Force. Special Tactics TACP is part of AFAOC. That requires years of dedication as a TACP, and you either have to be picked or try out to be a Special Tactics TACP. I served as a PJ for six years at 21st Special Tactics Squadron.
