ok guys i am going to MEPS this week for physical. i made a list of 20 jobs in the order i want them. my recruiter told me to take off sere and tacp since you must test for those. when do i tell them i want to test for those? also can i test for both? i have looked up alot of info on both i know i can pass the PAST, but if i had to choose one i am not sure which one i would pick, they are both really interesting to me. i would like to here your opinions.

TACP and SERE are jobs that require a candidate to have certain levels of real experience before being allowed to even test for those positions.

TACP plans, requests and directs air strikes against enemy targets in close proximity to friendly forces. A TACP is generally a two-airman team, working in an Army ground unit and directing close air support firepower toward enemy targets on the ground.

Tactical Air Control Parties provide numerous critical functions on the modern battlefield including: (1) Advising ground forces on aircraft employment and capabilities; (2) Coordinating and controlling aerospace operations and (3) Participating in battle planning.

Tactical Air Command and Control Specialists are part of a team called a Tactical Air Control Party (TACP). The mission is to advise US Army combat commanders on the use of Air Force air power. One example of air power is a fighter aircraft attacking targets close to friendly troops. This is Close Air Support and is a very important part of the TACP mission. It is the TACP's job to control the fighters and to make sure they attack the correct target. This unique mission requires operating on the battlefield. TACPs communicate with other tactical air and ground units by use of state-of-the-art radios, while mirroring the maneuver capabilities of our Army counterparts. Whether it's parachuting out of an airplane from 1000 feet with the 82nd Airborne Division, engaging in a tank assault with the 1st Armored Division, or operating deep behind enemy lines with the 75th Ranger Regiment, the TACP mission is the same…PUTTING BOMBS ON TARGET!

Not exactly a job for someone just out of boot camp huh?
