Summary
Air Force Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Airmen are some of the best in the world at what they do- and the main reason behind that fact is the world-class pipeline that produces TACP and TACP Officers. At the Field Training Unit, or FTU, candidates are trained, evaluated, and eventually certified as complete with all necessary training- and they're ready to go solve the nation's hardest problems.
This week, the team sits down with Chris, TACP FTU Phase 1 instructor and generally awesome guy to talk about AFSPECWAR, the pipeline, and most importantly all things TACP FTU Phase 1!
From Block 1 through completion, we cover literally everything you are going to see at the FTU.
Thanks to Chris for coming on and helping us get you the most up-to-date information you need!
Keep an eye out for 2 more hours of talks with the FTU cadre!!!

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. Apologies on some of the audio issues in this episode. For whatever reason, |
| 0:06.2 | some of the timing got off on the Wi-Fi and did our best to edit them out and correct some. |
| 0:13.4 | So you'll see, for example, Aaron talking when you're not actually here and talking and then |
| 0:19.2 | in the audio version, you'll hear him talking over the other person just because the timing |
| 0:24.8 | doesn't line up. It was really weird. Did our best to take some of them out, but it just I couldn't |
| 0:29.7 | get all of them out. So apologies on that. And hopefully this isn't a normal thing with some |
| 0:36.0 | of the new software that we're using. So anyway, enjoy the episode. Light up. |
| 0:49.4 | Hey everybody. Welcome back to the ones ready podcast. You're in the team room. And once again, |

| 1:22.4 | about the tech ppype line. So to have you on is really a treat because you're going to be able to |
| 1:28.4 | answer a whole lot of questions for us. Okay. Yes, we'll give you constant backs work for me. So I |
| 1:33.9 | didn't join the military until I was about 22 years old. I finished basic and probably December |
| 1:39.5 | of 2020 or 2010. So I've been in just shy 12 years. I went to support Bragg for my first |
| 1:45.6 | duty assignment. It was actually there for nine and a half years. I was at least at two different |
| 1:49.1 | units. I got one comm or one deployment out there to Iraq. And then JTAC instructor, JTAC |
