Put on some winglets and get rid of the props and it looks like a mini C-17 to me. Even has the strakes on the cargo door.

C-17\'s. Been at Charleston since \'93.

The various units do various things to balance with aircraft availability, deployment requirements, & proficiency.

Current deployment commitment, while constant, is relatively light. You can expect to be deployed one four month period a year. You can also expect at least one month-long JCET. And you can expect two-four 1-2 week TDYs inbetween. This doesn\'t count pop-up stuff like NEO, Typhoon Relief, etc.

That sounds like what I\'m used to. Now if I can just get out of slicks and get to AFSOC. Looks like getting a school slot for a SSgt is out of the question now. While I was at Little Rock they were sending brand new A1C\'s to New Mexico for school like crazy. Most of them did not want AFSOC and I did but, was told there were no more school slots.

I\'m a load and want to get to Hurlburt. Been in a special ops program for a while just not herks. I just got transfered from another aircraft and finished up Little Rock a couple of weeks ago. Was the chief of DOV for our SO program. Are the deployment time frames the same in AFSOC as they are on slicks? 4 on 4 off?

What do you have to do to go from slicks at Dyess to a Talon? How and what are the prerequisites? It\'s not advertised on AMS.

Thanks.
