I have always wanted to be in the military. I remember back to the first grade when I was asked what I want to do when I grow up, being a part of special forces is what I wanted and strive to be. I joined the Air Force as a mechanic to get my foot in the door, do three years and then retrain into CCT. I remember my SrA. recruiter telling me TACP was an option but that it wasn't AFSOC. Either of us knew much about it. When I didn't pass the swim portion of the past test for CCT, the NCOIC proctor asked me if I wanted to try for TACP instead? I denied, ignorantly. If I only knew what I know now, or had the brain capacity to wait and talk to someone besides a young recruiter! TACP is the j-o-b for me. I maintain this helicopter so PJ's can go train. It kills me to have spent over three years next to these guys. I have been stationed at Moody and at Lakenheath. I was instructed that I could retrain at three years. Now because of my deros I have to wait another year to be 15 months prior to my deros ending to apply. I would rather have spent this enlistment becoming the best JTAC on the planet. The one thing this has done has make me even hungrier. I have watched and read tons of videos and blogs and shadow spear seems to be the spot for legitimate answers. I want to be at the school house as soon as possible. I just made staff my first try and would give that stripe up to retrain 2015. Whatever it takes.
