My father served in the USAFSS in both Ground and Airborne units from 1954 to 1984. He claims his most exciting and rewarding experience was completing 200+ Combat Missions as a AMS on the EC-47Q during the Vietnam War with the 6994th SS, Detachment 3 in NKP. 😮
What decides whether an airman will be an airborne CLA or a ground CLA and at what point is that decided? Can one switch between being airborne or ground-based?
Back in my day, we had to pass a flight physical in order to qualify for airborne duty. That was in the early 1970s. Actually, we didn't have a choice - if we were physically fit for airborne, they automatically assigned us to flight duty. After we completed our first assignment as airborne, they sort of gave us a choice to go to a ground assignment if there was a need or opening at the location we wanted to go. Women were not allowed to be airborne at all.
Does this job require Top Secret Security Clearance? I got a 97 ASVAB and speak Mandarin. I worked in the private sector in China before though so I have former colleagues and friends there, I was told I wouldn’t pass a TS
@backattackjack3857 You would need to speak with a recruiter to discuss qualifying and options. What is your age, citizenship status, highest level of education completed, and zip code? If you prefer, you may private message us on Facebook. Ray U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting

I can speak Thai but I cannot read or write Thai.. I can also speak read and write Spanish very well (80% fluent). Will these skills qualify me to become a linguist?
Knowing Thai and/or Spanish could help, but there are other qualifying factors that they consider. You don't necessarily need to read or write the language - it's all about being able to understand a given spoken language. My language was Mandarin and I didn't have to know how to read or write it.
@@outandabout5408 Ohh. I can understand Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, and some Spanish and I love learning languages and speak/write them. I've been looking for a career where I can utilize these skills and actually enjoy what I am doing.
when I went through this in the 70s, they didn't care if you could speak the language, they were just concerned with "aural comprehension"....you basically listen and take dictation

@@outandabout5408 what determined your language? Is it overall more popular or in demand? I'm trying to get Chinese too
@@rmadara - Did they assign you a language, or did you already come in with one?
The recruiter told me that I can't get this job because I was born in the middle east and still have family living there. no Clearance for me.
I know people who were born in the middle east and have family there that are linguists with clearances.
