You'll also have the opportunity to work with the teams for a tour.
Only worth it if you get to be completely kitted up with face camo and get to release the GIANT RED BALLOON during the day from your covert position.

The first time I saw a a USAF Special Operations Weather Officer I had to do a double take, he was in his blues wearing a gray beret and combat boots with his pants bloused.
This is awesome. Liking this post is not enough.Yes, on ENTERPRISE our METOC was a former SWO. One day, about halfway through our deployment, a D-bag SWO started calling him a "traitor" and stuff in the wardroom. The guy (an O-4 at the time) went on for five minutes about all the good deals he'd gotten as a METOC (basically satisfying work, but awesome liberty and education) and then finished a la Cougar in TOP GUN and said "look, you want my SWO pin? Take it! Use it as an extra the next time you've got the balls to four watch and can't find a clean uniform." Then he took off his SWO pin, and went to hand it to the guy. The guy wouldn't take it, so then the METOC took his hand, put the SWO pin (and by now everyone was watching) and walked out of the wardroom. The METOC never wore his pin again on that deployment.
So, congrats. I don't know much about the community either, but that guy (who's name I forget) seemed to think it was a sweet deal, and while it seems a bit bogus to me that you can't fly *anything* now, I'm glad you can still wear the uniform and your wings.
