Ep 252: UPDATE- Combat Dive School in the Pipeline?

Send us Fan Mail

Recently the Commander of AFSOC, Air Force Special Operations Command, sent a letter to his chain of command asking for the combat dive school and qualification to be removed from the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline. Specifically affected are Special Tactics Officers, Combat Controllers, and Special Reconnaissance career fields. Obviously, this has caused a lot of flail in the communities. 

Aaron and Trent have been tracking this issue since it dropped, but we wanted to get you the best possible information now that the smoke has cleared a little bit.

We are sure that the comments section will be packed with people respectfully discussing their feelings.
