I was at a conference and met a CCT dude. This guy was shredded. He’s one of those dudes that, just by looking, he’s freaking strong, not just in your local gym context, but in combat.
I watched an interview with a CCT on Combat Story channel. I think he summed up a CCT perfectly. They are the most dangerous soldiers to ever step foot on the battlefield in the history of man. That takes the term "elite" to an entirely new level. It was an honor serving with those men even though I was not one of them.
Today I went to talk to a recruiter for the Air Force I appreciated all the information I received. I’m not the biggest nor strongest person but I am ruthless for what I want I’ll push myself until I break and even then I’ll rise again . I was born in Haiti and just graduated high school this year the opportunity’s were amazing . To help people and the safety of the ones I love I would fight for .
What distinguishes these men from normal ATC officers is the former do it with less equipments and under constant enemy enfilade while latter do it with sophisticated technologies around them and in a tower on a comfortable chair with cuppa on their hands. That's outstanding
Thank you all for your service, for our freedom, thank you for the sacrifice you and your families endure for our country. God bless and protect you all. God bless America. Let's go brandon
Is there anyway a video about Special Reconnaissance for the Air Force can be made? A vast majority of people and myself have been very interested in what Special Recon is and would like to see more about it ! :)
Probably THEE best job in Special Operations. Cush Airforce bootcamp, suffer through the pipeline, you made it congrats. Get a lil scuba, lil Halo, drop off the 75 Batt somewhere, get loaned out to SEALS and SF, lil door kicking with them, drop warheads on foreheads, always bringing the most firepower to the fight with CAS and F series jets, eventually make it to 24th STS and start running with the 3 letter boys, make history. Go reserve to chill and do a couple of SuperBowl fly overs, lil bit of humanatarian gigs, get all the way out and have a actual skill set that is recognized in the civilian world and work tower air traffic control making $150,000. BROOOOO SIGN ME THE F UP!!!
forget the navy seals, or green berets, or cag. CCT is where its at. you control the air strikes from the heavens to the earth. That is some great power and responsibility. RESPECT
Gavin Wieszala You would be amazed by what you’re capable of. Like Brandon said, don’t sell yourself short. If you want to be a Combat Controller, then you owe it to yourself to do everything that you can possibly do to make it happen and never quit.
E_N Glitched_Wolf Make sure you’re comfortable in the water. Practice 25-50 meter underwater swims and underwater knot tying (ALWAYS WITH A LIFEGUARD OR FRIEND PRESENT). Make sure your PST scores are far beyond the minimums before you even enlist. Pull ups, push ups, sit ups, running, and swimming. Get proficient in freestyle swimming and especially combat side stroke, push yourself all of the time so that you can make sure that mentally you are unbreakable, even while working out on your own, always give every repetition everything you’ve got. “If you never quit, you’ll never know how to.”
Mentally speaking, what type of people are you guys looking for CCT? For physically I am fairly confident that I can make it through, or get to the point where I can, but mentally I just don’t know what you guys are looking for.
Conlan, we are looking for a person has the mentally strong attitude of... "I will not quit/I will not fail". Ray U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting

Tough to compare really. The training for CCT takes forever. After basic if you had good physical numbers and the sharpshooter badge you were required to attend the first meeting. Three of us went but I was only going because I had to as I was going in to be a crew chief and needed the training. The other two guys who were both badass guys were going pararescue as they thought CCT was just too challenging and both had medic backgrounds. Sadly they both failed the horrific bobbing portion of the training, which is the other reason I said no thanks. At any rate there were a few special operators going out for CCT from other services. I dont remember a Seal but there were a couple Marine recon guys and a few Army Rangers. At the time CCT was seen as very prestigious. This was 25 years ago but I assume it still is. You have to be just another league of human to make CCT.

I hear people making fun of the USAF and how "easy it is"....😂🤦♂️ They do SERE training out here. I'd LOVE to see those people who mock the USAF _try_ SERE school! Just...as a goof: _give it a try_ See how funny it is then 😂
Very true. I am a SERE selection dropout. Easily the most difficult thing I've done. The sleep deprivation got to the point where I was hallucinating and I would fall asleep while standing
@@seanmcpart832 I'm sure it's not a big challenge for a lot....and, if I were younger, dedicated and in shape, I might be able to finish it. At 39, though.... I'm just being honest that I, personally, couldn't do it. So, I see your point and I hope I didn't push people away from the idea of joining.

Jamiephillips5930. No they aren't. They may not be the only ones. But when it comes to battlefield or natural disaster they have no equals. And the people you're talking about will tell you that these guys are in a league of their own at the top of the food chain. These guys are the F22 Raptors of battlefield, by comparison the others are more like hot air balloons. Not to mention that they are always at the tip of the spear. If you combine a Seal, Green Beret, Delta force operator, Ranger, SAS. and every other special operations warrior in the world, and then trained that guy to also handle the air assets and provide command and control over a battlefield with courage, skill and a degree of professionalism few others can compete with, you'll have a United States Air force Combat Controller. And they're usually getting shot at while doing it. The best description I've ever heard was from the Delta Force Commandant when he said. "During their training somebody brainwashes these guys into believing they can swim like Tarzan, climb like Spiderman, and fly like Superman. And then they have to prove they can if they want to graduate. They have a motto that would be hard to look any other special forces operator in the eye and say......if it wasn't true. FIRST THERE." The are trained to do it all. If a Seal, Ranger, Green Beret, Delta force operator, or any other special operator on the planet can do it.....A CCT can do it too. My comments are in no way meant to marginalize, criticize or demean any of the other special forces in the world. I have nothing but praise and admiration for all of them. I'm just pointing out how well trained and capable the CCT'S are. And what they can do.
