Hey everyone, came across an article (link pasted at bottom) and wondering if I can get more insight on this topic. The article could be outdated, since it is from 2016, but basically it states that if you complete/have all of the necessary pre reqs (physical, mental, and psychological attributes) you can get approval to be released from your career field to have the opportunity to train and complete one of the Special Tactics pipelines before your FTA retrain. I'm currently still in tech school and won't be at my first duty station until at the earliest end of this year, so my questions are:
Is this opportunity still available?
If so, how would one start this process? Would it be the same as the FTA cross-train process?
How is job selection affected due to the change of sending trainees under an "open SW" contract?
Do I have to wait to complete my current training before being eligible for this? Should I wait?
Policy changes allow Airmen to retrain into special ops
