Hey all,
Just curious to see if there are billets/opportunities to pick up a FAC qual during your sea/shore tour. I've read a little bit about a few opportunities over with SPECWAR, but nothing about supporting another branch. I know it is common in the Marines to do a FAC tour. Do some pilots/NFOs hop over to the green side to to get a qual? Is FAC/JTAC a desirable/useful qual to have or is it considered stray away the traditional path? I was on a MIDN cruise with an ANGLICO this summer and there was a -60 pilot there, but I didn't know if that was a common billet. Thanks!
