This was legitimately phenomenal. I’m a 6 year E5 Security Forces member looking to cross train to TACP and you guys absolutely kill it with the knowledge sharing. Beyond grateful for this podcast, keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you all.
@@huittonbuley1710 If your're a 6year contract trying for a SPECWAR job: The spring/summer of your 3rd year is your window. If overseas: January/February are the worst DEROS' to have if you want to try and crosstrain. Try and extend DEROS to summer time.
This podcast is becoming the pinnacle of relevant AFSO resources! Potentially speaking on behalf of the community, could the crew cover SR in-depth (SR apprenticeship phase, attrition rates, avg. mission duration, etc.) because there is minimal information available regarding SR beyond Trent's interview on Brian's channel. Thank you guys so much! Not only are you all helping aspiring AFSO, but I think the podcast also increases appreciation for what you all do.
You can also contact your CAA( Career assistance advisor) and they can walk you through all the steps, know when your crosstrain window and help with your package.
Thanks for making this video! This upcoming August is when I get to hit the button to attempt to retrain. Having all this extra information about the careers, A&S, at home life, and what is expected out of you makes cross training seem even more worth it!
Appreciate y’all putting this together - there really isn’t enough information/talks like this about retraining and what to expect aside from the paperwork required. I’d love to see more info as well in detail around the retraining process and expectations for NCOs coming into these jobs! Like the down to dirt things you would expect an NCO to study beforehand - for example when we left DEP for BMT they told us to study rank/ chain of command/etc ... what are those pre studies that would positively aide in the process.
There are no required studies you need to take regarding medical, radios, ATC, or anything like that. We wouldn't recommend you do it anyway as we want to train you how we need you to be.
Bad Decisions Corona and a divorce is how it went, I’m still waiting for this divorce to finalize and then I’ll need a waiver for the divorce but I’m still working out every single day. I do the 10 week marine raiders fitness app. It’s basically putting yourself thru selection, I rucked 6 miles with a 50lb ruck yesterday.
I went to a couple DEP developments to find out I absolutely suck at swimming and need to work on it. Couple swim lessons later I decided I didn’t want to wait and went with another enlisted job. Leaving in a few days for basic. Really hoping to cross train in a few years. (It’s been a couple months since I booked my job. Pretty sure if I just dedicated this time to swim every other day or so I’d be passing the PAST and not too far away from being where I need to be, but oh well :))
Really appreciate this podcast, and all the others, helped me understand the mentality that a retrainee is going to need. I also like the “5 Meter Target” mindset you brought up. Thanks guys!
Great info put out, getting it together to attempt to retrain into TACP as a second term career airman. Process with MPS sucks due to my T2A952C being locked down.
I passed the PAST last time. Gotta pass this next one on the 15th and I'm on target to ship in April. Did some hardcore sprints today and training as hard as I can!
In all honesty, I had no clue AF had SOFs. There is little talk about them outside of PJs compared to Green Berets and SEALs. But having watched a lot of different channels about SOF, I think AF 24th tact division are about the best. Mainly because they have to serve with all the other SFs across all branches. Others don’t do that. SEALs serve with SEAL teams and so on. AF 24th have to do it all.
I really love these podcast though i just recently found them. Air force special warfare has always interested me and it’s a field i’m currently looking into exploring @ the age of 19. I’ve listened to your podcasts after searching for information all over about how to improve myself for when it is time to join.
Are all PJ's going to the special tactics course at Pope, and Hurlbert now? I know that there have been alot of changes at AFSOC, just was wondering if they were finally going to be completely trained up for Sts integration, like the CCT'S, and Special Recon guys.
Could you go more in depth on the topic of the leadership aspect of selection phase and being an NCO as a new operator? I'll be honest it's a joke how easy it is to make rank in some career fields. Should I try to get myself demoted so I'm on the level I should be for the spec ops community? Haha
They mention TACP several times in this video, but as the guy above me said, it’s different from the other 3. Go to the Air Force website and compare their training pipelines. TACP, for example, don’t go to A&S. It makes sense that they wouldn’t always lump the four together because 3 of them have very similar pipelines while TACP’s is fundamentally different.

Ones Ready o shit you guys actually replied, that’s greatly appreciated man and I definitely am.
Good luck Josh. Never Quit. 🤙

Key point is that regardless of whether you’re a PJ candidate or not, you’re still a non-commissioned officer.

Get some!
I leave the 28th, when do you leave?
I leave April 7th!

Wow this information is crucial!! Thank you guys so much for all you do. I have been feeling the calling...
Love the podcast your time. Undoubtedly will save lives and it's keeping me together with a support system training, and how to, and what to expect

Hooyah!
100%

Isaac Martinez The vast majority of their time is spent at Kirtland still.
Are you gonna interview any TACP?
Yes, it's already in the works!
Thank y’all so much.
Great info currently trying to watch them all.
very helpful ... thanks guys
Thank you!
God if could do it all over again!

Is the same sellection for cct, tacp and air force recon? I know only that pj have diffrent and they swim a lot.
The selection for CCT, PJ and SR is the same. TACP does not involve as much water training. ☠️
Do guys have to retake the asvab to cross train once there in?
depends on the job and what you qualify for based on your current ASVAB score.
Is there a similar video for officers ?
There are a couple for CRO, and STO. Are you asking for a cross training video specifically for O’s? We can make one
@@OnesReady yes please! I’d greatly appreciate it, can’t find much info on it.
“Disciplined” 😂
You guys do realize that TACP is SW as well you guys seem to like to keep us outside
I think they are focusing more so on the Special Tactics “SW” side of the house. They’ve had a few TACP podcasts though my man.

11:18 "Phrasing..." lmao.
Is there an age limit for special warfare to cross train?
39
