its not combat weather is SOWT, combat weather is a joke compared to the training that pipline SOWT get. I've been in this pipeline for 22 months. Not done yet.
you have to be a 1w first and go to a ows (operational weather squadron) first. just like everyone else. Then, if you are selected by special operations command to go to combat weather school, u go to basic spec ops training. you are then assigned to any air force or army spec ops unit. based on the unit you are assigned to, you can go to halo, dive, ranger, and all of the othermfun schools :-)
incorrect. SOWT is its own AFSC 1W0X2. I am finishing up the pipeline right now.. 22 months from when i started at CCT/SOWT selection at Medina annex.
for sowt do you already have to be an airforce weatherman to become a special ops weatherman or do you just have to be in the airforce
and does sowt do halo jumps and combat dives caus the airforce special tactics site didnt mention halo school or dive school on their training pipeline
When my son told me that he joined the AF and would be leaving for basic on the 20th, I was a proud Mom, then He told me that He was going to be a "Weatherman" and I got really excited ...until I saw this video. Somehow I don't think He's going to be your typical "Weatherman". lol.
Yep. I leave october 24th for basic. then i'm off to Special ops weather school. I'll be the first class of combat weathermen that didn't have to be weathermen already before they got the job. No pressure... right?
They made a new requirement friday that they aren't going to grandfather in. Depth perception is mandatory so myself and a bunch of other guys lost the job. Shitty.
Well i'm glad your job didn't get canceled. It all worked out though. I signed my contract for Combat Control and i'm just as excited for that as i was for combat weather. But now i don't get to leave untill january
Hey I leave for BMT january 19th and my job is weather. I plan on applying for Combat weather. Did you get it in your contract to go SOWT right out of basic? I didn't even try for that because everything I read said you have to be a weather tech for 1 year at least before you can apply.
if u mean free fall YES, but only if you went through HALO training. as far as static line drops they do that all the time thats way they call them airborne.
sorry, i just read earlier posts, looks like they finnaly made combat weather its own shred, meaning u can sign up right from the recruter.
