    Marine Infantry here, 1984-1993.
    Ran across a few of you over my years, over the Globe. Everyone was professional and knowledgeable.
    Really appreciated Crosstraining with other services. Came in handy during Desert Storm.

    I switched to my personal account for this one because I don't want to speak for our unit, but we AFSPECWAR need to create a small unit tactics (SMUT) course as the first training block post A&S. This way, all SW operators have the same solid foundation. PJs and CCT guys going through OTC have differing levels of basic tactical skills; I argue it's because they learn them at different places. Let's bring the basics to everyone at the same time then split off for specialty skills!!!

      The AF should have a smut that's based on Army Ranger small unit fighting organization and tactics as that's basically the min std for Army SF that AF goes to war with. It should also be extended to AF security units that are so critical to asset protection.

      So true, I believe one’s ready really only goes on the surface of the Special Warfare pipeline, the simple excuse that it’s confidential information is BS. They really can just be vague on what they went through on the job without giving specific locations names or classified information. I think viewers would like to know if they have ever encountered real life dangers or situations on the job and how they had to overcome them. After all not everything will remain the same and it’s best to just provide what you have gone through (with filtration of sensitive info.) Yet I feel like these guys are too vague, often times the info they can’t provide I find online on reddit or other sources. One’s Ready is really just a mainstream platform.. no hate I just see room for improvement.

      @@NRVE8 Well first of all, totally different mission sets. An echo’s main responsibility is making sure the team’s comms are up and being able to connect with higher/strategic assets while performing, mainly, FID. SR will have to do some of what an 18E does but the main focus for them is like they said. Prep of the environment, target interdictions/actionable intel collection, etc. SF’s main mission is FID. SR’s main mission is providing a unique reconnaissance capability to their own teams, anyone they may be attached to, and for a variety of different mission sets. It has been floating around that the Army is/was considering creating a new MOS inside SF teams that will deal with tech/cyber exclusively which would be somewhat similar to the capabilities of SR due to problems that the Army would face in near peer environments. 18E’s solve SF, and by a larger scope, Army problems. SR solves ST and Air Force problems. I hope I explained that somewhat well but that’s a broad and vague overview

      By weather technician do you mean regular Air Force weather man or SOWT? SR is the rebranded SOWT AFSC so you wouldnt have a choice there really. If you're meaning a regular USAF weather guy then there's a very large difference. You can choose to go the tough route and train your balls off and go through a long ass pipeline for a funny hat and not regret a minute of it, or you can take it easy and go through a normal tech school and have a normal job and be content with where you are. Nothing wromg with it but they are very, very different careerfields for very different people.

All of them have such awesome interesting capabilities and skill sets. Is there any in particular thats needing more man power heading into 2023? Or is there an opportunity to switch if one does need more man-power earlier in the pipeline? Well later in the podcast they talked about this specifically haha

      We are predominantly in enlisted force, and our enlisted members are the tactical tacticians. As an officer, you’ll get the ability to do that stuff for about three years on team but after that, you go into more leadership roles versus being an actual team member. Still, your best bet is going Special Tactics Officer.

      Pj’s, CCT’s, SR’s and SOF TACP’s will all be working together in teams due to the current near peer environment. Although they can be attached to other branches’ sof teams, from what I heard, the AF wants to have teams that can act independently. So just go for pararescue if you want the medic stuff.

    • @OnesReady
      @OnesReady  4 года назад +5

      SR doesn’t act as it’s own team- they work in extremely small footprints. And their ‘medics’ are PJs. Charles Xiong is correct- if you want to do medicine, PJ is for you. If you want to do SR, you won’t have the Paramedic currency. Choices.
