Yes I am still flying at Dobbins, going on 27 years I remember watching that video at Sheppard back in 1985Steve, that was a great movie. Filmed at CCK and in country (RVN). I saw it on the web some time ago but could not find it on google. I also wish I had a copy. Are you still flying at Dobbins? I'm in Smyrna just down the road from there.Muff Millen

Can anybody tell me where I can find the video starring John Wayne? I believe the name is 1972 The way It Is.
Thanks

One note people are overlooking.... MC-130J coming soon to an AFSOC base in the desert, so getting J training can work to your advantage going to AFSOC.
Food for thought,
Engine Mike
That is true, I am partial to the 130 it is the only airplane I have been a crewmember on. The J model is a nice airplane.

Have you thought about trying to go to Charleston? After 25 years on H models I would not mind trying C-17's or J models. What I have heard about Spec Ops is that you are deployed all the time for 4 to 6 months at a time and when you are not deployed you are still tdy alot. It appears from your bio that you have not done any type of low level work it can be rough on the body try standing up on a roller coaster while it is in motion, because you are more than likely to be at 250 to 300ft AGL and you are going to mobile in the cargo compartment doing your checks prior to the drop. With that being said I still enjoy airdrop I just like doing at night it is less bumpy and the altitudes are a little higher Talk to your cheif and see if you can go to airdrop school on the 17. I find the 130 mission to be more gratifying along with more work.
