He should also look into the US Air Force Combat Controllers, they specialize in all aspects of air-ground communication, including air traffic control, fire support (including fixed and rotary wing close air support), and command, control, and communications in covert, forward, or austere environments. This is a SOCOM group as well but much lesser known.

The schools are very tough, there are Officer positions. The field is dangerous, grueling, challenging, and fulfilling.

I washed out just before jump school when my knee gave way.

Do some reading up on it. We had FROG training as well as other methods of insertion. Might be a nicer route as the Air Force has better digs but slower promotions.


I can also put him in contact with some Rangers. They LOVE IT!

I don't take scalps. I'm civilized like white man now, I shoot man in back.
