[kestrelblue]

[bmill0711]

Bro, the name dropping is a no go

[EskimoExecution]

Cleaning my room today I came across a cct brochure and read it and I now really want to join when I'm old enough. I just need to overcome the fear of sky diving. Any advice? And great story by the way. More motivation

[DMgamefreak]

Im planning to join the airforce and this motivates me. I always wanted to be able to tell these kind of storys and its the best hearing all this. Thanks for serving!

[pv2barrows]

Hey SgtMacs, this was the highlight of my morning, thanks a lot for the "war story" and most of all......War is an absolutely fucking nightmare and the fact that you were one of the one's who "dreamt" it FOR the american people, we can't thank you enough....Keep the stories comin'.

[searchman058]

TSgt John A. Chapman on 6:23, one of the heroes of the Battle of Robert's Ridge. Rest in peace.

[thaiboxer991]

GREAT STORY.....

[divecommando]

its ans honor to listen to you

cant wait to be a cct and any advice beside basic PT

[TravAkira]

I wish more people would just tell their stories, like you've done here. Thanks for serving, sir. My hat goes off to you.

[1stsgthall]

@TravAkira alot of the stories are top secret and there sworn to secrecy so that's why you don't here alot of stories

[hoebeast9]

is that real voice and bullets being fired at the end of this brother?

[1pizzo77]

the guy at 1:05 with the backpack with antennas.. what are those guys called exactly?

[sentll]

Thank you for your story, I plan on joining TACP to become a JTAC not quite the same as CCT but mad respect mac thanks for the story.

[FJSTUFF1]

does a combat controller find a target and destroy it or do they just find targets

[nolefan69420]

@FJSTUFF1 find it and sestroy it call in close range airstrikes or blow that shit up their demolition experts

[thadeus1977]

Great video. Thanks for sharing Mac.

[drothefuture]

Quit fighting about which branch is better. Every single one of them have the same thing before the branch on the uniform and that is "US"!!

[kay12093]

thank you for the great story.

[kasem1065]

Thank you for your story. Also thank you for not blasting ass-rock during your your montage.

[azthundercloud]

[ridah925]

Great story thanks for sharing!!

[TeleprompterCzar]

2 guys felt smaller after watching this video. AFSOC+USASOC=Problems Solved. RLTW.

[KamayaMom919]

Thank you so much for this. I was very curious about combat control...you guys are definitely unbelievable as far as your capabilities and duties!! Thank you for your service and sacrifice men!

[wardog911]

Thanks for no head banger music i hate that.

[JARHEAD509DI]

where did you get the opening photo of the CCT silhouettes

[wingedsuperyak]

allah wasn't with that sonfab....! LOL!

[bostoncoke]

@danster3461 who are cros

[AA781228]

@bostoncoke it stands for combat rescue officer. they are basicly the same as pjs but officers and do more of the leading of the team.

[danster3461]

@bostoncoke Combat Rescue Officers

[jdsprayingmantis]

what about navy seals?

[danster3461]

Do pjs and cro's do missions like this as well?

[TheDjam629]

@Tyrail It depends on who you are attached to. ACU's tend to be a poor choice especially during the summer months and that zipper down right sucks under body armor. The current operator uniform of choice is the Crye multicam which blows the doors off just about anything else out there.

[BackdoorPlumber]

Forgot to say - thanks for not having that annoying fucking heavy metal music.

[mechanicalrev]

@BackdoorPlumber

Agreed. Most of the "Heavy Metal" that is played in these type of videos is pussy as shit, IMO.

[BackdoorPlumber]

Awesome story. Loved every second of it, and the pictures were really cool. Thanks for serving. I'm enlisted right now and will be shipping out to Lackland on August 10th. Nervous as hell but can't wait.

[STRIKERBOY101]

I hate the airforce to me they are just of button pushers these are the trigger pullers my pov is changed

[ranter765]

@STRIKERBOY101 hey, do me a favor and go fuck urself k?

[STRIKERBOY101]

@ranter765 dont get mad cause its true

[ranter765]

@STRIKERBOY101 its not true the af can kick any branche in the miltarys ass, and yes i have all respect for all the other branges but guess what we got? ac130s, apatches, chopper gunners, stealth bobmers, f-15s, ect... thats enough to take out a whole country, and they even got amazing speliac ops. so yea i think i proved my point

[STRIKERBOY101]

@ranter765 Well every single one of those needs a man and elec a EMP can disable all of that what are you going to do then when all you were taught was how to shoot a m9

[ranter765]

@STRIKERBOY101 well ok i guess ur rigth but what about special ops there badass! if u EMP us we'll just send in some ground units and then what? we win.

[STRIKERBOY101]

@ranter765 Yeah there good but not that good

[jgq85]

Can you join Combat Control as an Officer?

Also if you don't have a degree, is there time to get a degree while in CCT?

[ccolon255]

@jgq85 if you join officer school for special ops you would be considered special tactic officer (STO). and unfortunately, you wont have much time for school.

[stud92101]

i ship out in 11 days for basics my MOS is A.F. CCT

[bloodsline]

@stud92101

combat control is special ops..not a mos

[spd2549]

Unreal.....still on the edge of my seat! Thank you, sir, for your service and amazing story! God Bless!

[VTG28]

My dad was a CC for 23 years.

[bronco590]

@VTG28 was he ever in combat?

[jonsloan09]

Thanx alot man for the freedom. i am joining the Air Force and thinking about CCT.

[bitmp44]

Thanks for the story. thanks for serving

[timothyoo7]

Thank you for your story and service.

[bigwigs88]

DAMN, glad I had my helmet on....

[pumkinpoopoo]

Thank you for that epic story, and your service.

[Oxstayne]

I didn't know combat controllers did many classified mission. I thought they were just Air Traffic Controller.

[sidewinder19A]

@Oxstayne HAHAHAHAHA naw dude... we work with all the Spec Ops forces

[Oxstayne]

O.K. I see why, but you aren't a CCT so shut the fuck up.

[FrozenEMT]

Air traffic control is only a small part of what these high speed hard chargers do. They do everything from Special Ops to Air Force meteorologists.

[ownage1894]

na your thinking of combat weathermen, they're the AF meterologists....different from CCTs

[dbrown247]

Stories like these inspire me to remain in CCT. I've been on Pre-Team now for three weeks. Getting ready for Selection Course on January 4th. I cannot wait.

[jklivn25]

actually I've seen these guys on the cover of magazines granted it was Airmen magazine lol.. And I'm buddies with a few of em and they are far from quiet.

[vizcaya7]

i think this guys reading a book

[Toophless1]

Went to Benning and Keesler with Dan Kennedy and Ray Ontravaro...lost track of them over the years

[Goodwism1]

If your a combat controller you need to do more research about your heritage! If your not, you need to know what you are talking about before you throw stupid comments out here. I've read the books and met the man too.

[pootskins]

What an idiot! He talks too much and his timelines do not match documented history!

Here it is! He read a book, watched a video and has captured/copied everyone elses pictures n reposted them as if his punk ass is someone! I have seen some of these pictures hard copied before he scanned and copied them! LIAR!

FRAUD!

[cmsgtfury]

That's pretty funny cause I can remember working all night SO missions with him at North Field in SC. I know a whole slew of the guys in the pictures and I can tell you where and when some of them were taken. I was trained by some of them, and some of them worked for me. And if his memory is a little fuzzy, so what!

[pootskins]

Name them!

[RobertWeekes]

he talks too much?? he speaks with an air of genuine authenticity so I can fairly well say he's been there without having been there myself. so what if he uses some of the same pictures other people use, theyre great pictures. dork

[Edordorito]

Thanks for sharing this story.

[pootskins]

He is a moron, an idiot, and an insult full of hot air moiture! I shit bigger turds than this book reading phoney! Screw you, and him too! I am the real deal and his guy is a fake!

[Edordorito]

okay....

[Tyzoone]

Definately beats metal music, thanks for the story! Thanks for your service!

[masterdrummer5]

im going out for CCT as well...God help me!

[jcg1984]

Great story...I'm going out for CCT....any advice?

[100PercentOJ]

Man I love good war stories. I want to do Combat Control but I have a baby girl, so I'm thinking about SERE : \
