During Air Force BMT will they off you special operations jobs?
I leave for BMT October 11th (7 days) under Aircrew Life Support AFSC. I never took the PAST test for special operations, but I'm wondering if during basic training you have the option to qualify for special operations? I'm in really great shape and would have no problem passing the PAST for TACP.

Hello...
MAYBE...
Right.. you "THINK" you will have no problem passing the Physical Ability Screening Test.
Wait until you see how difficult it is.
IF you have a "no pain" "no quit" attitude and you force your body to "go the distance" you might just pass.
Life Support is cool. I had those guys in my overseas HQ squadron. They make custom flight helmets for pilots and air crew. They are responsible for the life raft and ejection seat life saving supplies that the pilot sits on while he flies and gets ejected with him.
They make sure that those green oxygen bottles are working and filled properly.
They do many things that save a downed pilot's life!
They are IMPORTANT people.
Good Luck.
When you get to basic.. keep your mouth shut. don't speak unless spoken to. listen up to all that goes around so that nothing has to be explained to you "twice." don't stand out like the "class clown."
Cooperate and Graduate.

For Pararescue or Combat control, they usually do offer a chance for the PAST
TACP is not spec ops -- they do not offer it during basic training

They will let you try out for pararescue while in BMT. If you pass then you can go to pararescue tech school
