Notice how Air Force Special operations is not talked about like with other branches like the Navy. They don’t make books or start a podcast show every week talking about their times in the services. This is a real operator. Congrats on your award sir and thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service. My son is CCT/JTAC and was deployed to Afghanistan about a year before our botched departure.
