Question

do the air force even ..like..get to stuff like snatching terrorists in there sleep or clearing out taliban huts instead of onlyPJ's
(save people,not that its bad or anything but) im into more of the action..can the air force provide that..please reply i wanna join next year when i graduate

Answer 1

Graduate from what? 9th grade. Keep typing wanna and not using proper sentence structure, you will get in the habit and never even make it into the Air Force. You do not join such an outfit, you are chosen, after qualifying in your specialty and going through at least two years of active duty, then, if, you qualify you may be chosen, don't count on it from what I can see.3

Answer 2

Para rescue- trained in all conditions are highly skilled medics and soldiers. They rescue astronauts when they return from space, are attached with special forces Army units, Rescue civilians ( Recently rescued Mt. Hood Climbers)

Combat Controller- Go behind enemy lines and set up runways and defense positions

Tacp- Are attached with Special ops Army units and call in air strikes for targets by coordinates or by a laser.

Combat Weather- Special ops weatherman

All Are Special ops in the Air Force

Answer 3

Ace, the AF SF personnel are a very quiet group. People knew about Delta before they knew about AFSF. Think Navy Seals with an Air Force agenda.

Answer 4

ACE...see my post on your other Spec ops question. I posted a bunch of links about Tactical Air Control Parties (TACP). They are AF Spec Forces that work 2 man teams in harms way with the Army or Marines.

Answer 5

AF combat controllers do provide support in other branches missions. If you want to be bad-*** and enjoy a comfy lifestyle at the same time, Air Force it the way to go.

Answer 6

Nope. Navy has the seals, army has the rangers and marines have the special forces. Join the military if it is your heart's desire. Don't do it for the glory or action. My son is a paratrooper and he was in Afghanistan. He said there was 20 minutes of excitement and 23 hrs 40 minutes of boredom.

Answer 7

Most of those missions are left to Army Rangers or Navy Seals. AF special ops are only rescue and para-ops.

Delta might get into some actions, but I'm not sure exactly what their mission is- whether it's kicking butt or intel, or all of the above. I think it's black ops under the presiden't control. Not sure of the types of missions. They're pretty secretive.

Answer 8

not that it relates but im fairly certain that Delta has probably been disbanded and a new ultra secret SF unit has been formed as Delta recieved way to much publicity from "Black Hawk Down". Delta was not even officially recognized as part of the US military, they didn't exist because then if they got caught in an assassination attempt or something like that the US wouldn't ahve accountability because they wore no patches and the US gov't denied their existance.

so now they are probably gone as the US can't really deny their existance to foreign countries if they were captured.

Answer 9

I don't think so. All I know of are combat controllers and PJs, however I know when i was in afghan we ran across some of them and 1 pj would be attached to an army sf team. but that was mostly for recon purposes and not for town clearing or offensive missions

Answer 10

Don't listen to Ray, the AF doesn't have personnel that do that stuff. If that's what you want to do join the Army or USMC. They let you enlist straight into SF now, but honestly you don't want to do that. You WON'T pass the course and then you'll just be stuck as an Infantryman, not that that is bad, just join a regular combat arms branch, get used to the military lifestyle, and then decide if that is what you want to do. Train for it learn about it, then go to the course.
