<p>My roommate at USAFA summer seminar wants to be a combat controller, and I know another guy in ROTC who wants to be a CRO, so based on this, there are definitely people who go to both USAFA and ROTC who don’t want to branch aviation but rather spec ops. I don’t know exactly what entails “special operations” and whether CRO or Combat Control are both considered spec ops, or how the USAF determines that, however–was always confusing to me; they all seemed to be the same idea with numerous specialties…
Yeah, fiterace87 has been my “online name” forever, so I just use it for everything I sign up to post on…but my goal right now, after commissioning, that is, is not to do spec ops but to get either a pilot or nav slot…as my name entails :)</p>
