Hey /k/. If you've been on the /meg/ at all you've probably seen me asking about the TACP field in the airforce. Basically the long and short of my situation is that I've worked retail for 3 years, and dropped out of college after a term. I recently discovered physical fitness and got myself into pretty good shape. Jogged a marathon in 5 hrs 3 months ago and found the thrill of pushing your body to its limits. Its some good shit. Last month /pol/ sucked me down the rabbit hole of Jordan Peterson and gave me some motivation to better myself.
I self-diagnosed the stagnation of my life as an overall lack of discipline. I'm tired of taking it easy, and I don't really want to whip my own life into shape, I'd rather the armed forces do it for me.
So, basically my question is if I end up in TACP how do I go about getting a JTAC certification? It isn't guaranteed, so would I just be a ROMAD then?
Also tell me how much of a shithead I am for wanting to go into the airforce if you want.

You will go for JTAC qualification around a year after your pipeline. Hastened by your performance and the unit you end up in.
STS guys will be prioritized.
Any reason why you're all about JTAC? There's nothing wrong with the Air Force too. Much better quality of life.

Look dude if you're a tacp you are eventually going to get jtac qualified or it would stall your career

TACP will get JTAC qual but it can take a year to two depending on alot of thing like schedules and the idioticy of the military. You will have other schools you need to go to like SERE and Jump once you are out of the school house which could make it longer. You will be a ROMAD for a year or two basically.
Good luck man, AFSOC is definitely the way to go. They treat their people much better. Really prepare for the PAST tons of people fail it.

What these guys said, just know there is a chance of you not going JTAC, depending on where you're stationed

Go as deep as possible, up to the elbow if you can, might have to bend your wrist a little at the end.

go to airborne and pathfinder schools, then you could probably get a JTAC cert

To an extent. Recommend getting an option 40 contract. Fisters in batt get jtac qualified. Another route is airborne and then drop a packet for SOAR, they also get jtac qualified.

A chance as a JTAC you'll sit in a JOC all day and send 9 lines to Reapers all day. Listen to their weaponeering reccomendations, especially the Guard units.
Fucking active duty...
love the 42nd Reattack squadron
