You will have to take a PAST test for these jobs (Phy, agility, stamina)

You can find sere at www.gosere.com the rest you can find in a search or just as an airforce represenative about these programs.

Answer 2

SOCOM Special Operations Command HQ is located on the western side of MacDill AFB. Air Force Special Operations are more concerned about getting in and out without getting caught than in ground operations. IE. The USAF will fly the planes, the Special Ops forces of the other branches will do the dirty work.

Here is their website if you want to see what units they have, where they are and etc.. (Who needs spies when you got the Internet?)

Answer 3

Those volunteering to become PJs must pass a grueling 10-week indoctrination course where the failure rate regularly exceeds 85%. By comparison, the SEAL school's failure rate is 75%.

This means that PJs make the SEALs look like bitches.

HOORAH Air Force
