ToddnJoyce,
Thank you for that article. I knew of several of our TAC-P/Combat Controller heroes, the most famous probably being TSgt John Chapman, but I had not heard of TSgt Travis Crosby. Thank you for sharing!
A lot of filks make fun of the USAF, as we are not really a group of gunfighters. I admit I received poor firearms training while in uniform, and it wasn't until I sought training as a civilian at Gunsite that I really began my journey of gunfighting skills.
Nothing but admiration and respect for our USAF SOF folks, including SERE trainers, Combat Controllers, and ParaRescue Airmen. God Bless you all!
I was privileged to serve with a great collection of heroes in my last six years before retiring. I was luck in my timing in that Congress had several SOF champions willing to fund elite physical, mental, and tactical training resources to preserve these great Americans.
