ReplyDeletewell 0861 scout observers (my primary MOS) are trained in Naval Gunfire as part of our MOS schooling. as a Jtac i just add my tool box as a scout oberver with the ability to bring in air.
ReplyDeleteHeh. I got to know a fellow soccer dad who was a Combat Controller in the Air Force and got out after a couple of hitches because he got tired of jumping out of airplanes, always being on TDY and living with the Army in that order. He went right into the Coast Guard as a Helo aircrewman and was living the perfect life in Key West until his first enlistment was up: then they told him they needed rescue swimmers and life would not be good if he didn't volunteer. He got out and joined the LA County Sheriff's Dept.
