I think you mean SOF...Not bad for a navy gal.
BTW ... most SOP guys are fat little round guys. And nobody considers Rangers SOP except Rangers. They are just infantry with a bigger budget.
some of those dudes can get pretty big, same with rangers. See Alejandro Villanueva, ex batt dude whos a steelers starting olineman
Knew a bunch of guys in 10th MTN. Good troops it seemed.
What were you, Chief? MOS?
Thanks for serving. I always appreciated those smart dudes who could have been living large in the AF but joined big green and slept in shytty quarters and ate army food instead.
I also REALLY appreciated the ones that didnt get us killed, ie properly grounded power etc. Blue Force doesnt work without computers, and it kept many soldiers alive.
How would you rate Army food in relation to ALPO?
Donkey may be right about other services evaluation of Air Force Special Ops. However, the training and operational environment the PJs work in is every bit as demanding as Rangers, Delta, and the SEALs. Combat SAR crews never have to buy drinks in any O Club Bar. "That others might live" is more than a motto, its the job. Combat controllers train and go where the SpecOPs train and go. Just sayin'.Net is Air Force right? Special Operations Personnel?
Btw, no one but Air Force thinks anyone in the Air Force is special operations.
JSOC thinks rangers are special ops.
No, Im serious. One of my buddies was talking about sleeping under a five ton while AF slept in airconditioned tents with power strips everywhere, and complaining that their building wasnt ready. :)
I told my son to join the AF if he goes in. He wants to be a computer geek or EE.
Things have really changed these days. I operated this 56 ton tank recovery vehicle and would spend 70 days at a time in the field while my tank company would do maneuvers and spent many of nights at the tank firing range about 100 feet behind the firing line with no hearing protection ever issued and on nice nights I would put my sleeping bag on the front blade and sleep under the stars. In the winter (Germany) we froze our asses off and seldom took showers. We would find cow watering troughs in farmers pastures and bathe in those. Ahh, the good ole days...
