Army Air Cavalry
How hard is Air Force TACP?
My big brother leaves for the Air Force in just a couple more weeks and hes going to be (or try to become) a TACP. Im just wondering how hard his training will be when compared to other jobs in the military?
For example is it as hard as or harder than:
Army Infantry/Cavalry Scouts/Forward Observer?
Marine Corps?
Army Special Forces?
I’m not trying to judge the different branches or anything, i respect all servicemen. I was just trying to get a better idea of what the demands hes going to be facing will be like. I went to the romad website and saw some videos online but the information is so vague that it looks no harder then the boyscouts we did as kids.
Thanks a lot
If he is in good physical condition and has the ability to put up with some harassment he’ll be fine. His biggest hurdle is learning the material. TACPs have to learn a lot, esp. with the radios.
TACPs are not Special Operations .. it is a conventional combat arms field. You can compare it to infantry as they’ll be assigned to infantry units, live, train and fight along side of them. Very few TACPs get a Special Operations assignment .. those that do are highly experienced and in the top 5% of their careerfield.
It’s a great job and he will most likely enjoy it. It’s like being in the Army infantry but without having to put up with the big Army crap.
Good luck to him and tell him to stick with it.
