1 of the reasons probably that it will be so late in the year is that there might not be much of a need for that career field right now. All of the available slots are filled with no projected losses or promotions out of the field...all of that plays into it. Look at it this way...if there were tons of openings, there would be classes starting before that to get you into the "pipeline" as we call it. If you can't wait that long, and still want to join, look at the Army and the Ranger Regiment option. Keep in mind also that you will, upon completition of the course of training for TACP's, proably be asssigned to a Army Infantry unit somewhere. It's not all what you think it is, controlling aircraft, calling in strikes, airdrops, etc....lots of ruck marching, late night/early mornings. Just my thoughts, as I spent about 13+/- yrs in a ARNG SF unit, and this was before the TACP's became so popular. We used to do that job ourselves when needed.

Well July is going to be the earliest I can go to MEPS and take the PAST. She said that after next week, she is going to be gone until July, I didn't ask why. I'm not in that big of a hurry, it is only going to be a couple months later than I was wanting to leave, so no big deal. I was somewhat aware of the ruck marching and stuff, it is kind of appealing to me
