What is the first step I should take if I am currently serving in the USAF and want to join an SW careerfield?
First step is to speak with the career advisor make sure your current AFSC can release you and that you are in your retraining window. Depending on where you are stationed (as of now) spec ops recruiters cannot give you a PAST test. So you will need to travel to a base with a STS or RQS on it and have them conduct a PAST test for your package. Keep in mind, don’t do this too early because they are only valid for approx. 6 months.
After A&S do you go straight to a school or go back to your home station (for cross trainees)?
You will go straight to pre dive school, then dive school, then back to your duty station to PCS to Kirtland. Make sure you check out the pipeline page on the website as well.
