Summary

On this week's episode of the Ones Ready podcast, we sit down with Amanda who is an active duty Major in the US Air Force. She's been in Force Support the majority of her career which she will explain what Force Support is during the episode. After a few years in though, she had the chance to become one of the first TACP females after combat related jobs opened up to women. As a seasoned officer and physical specimen, she was a force to be reckoned with. She'll go through some of her challenges that she faced during assessment and selection, some of her favorite and not so favorite parts of the pipeline, and also how she ultimately was not able to pass due to a land navigation error. This was a fun episode to record and gives some good insight and perspective to consider when you're considering joining Special Warfare. Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!
