I will be going in as an Airborne Cryptological Linguist.

OK, being a tactical pasta chef is pretty cool, but no need to make up a fancy name.

Haha, it ain't no Security Force, but it is an actual job.

Be prepared to work your butt off at DLI.  And when you go through SERE, say Hi to Igor for me! You'll understand when you get there.

No one says they said that in training. Some have said that saying "I learned that in CAP" is not well received by the MTIs!

It's not.  One Airman (this was back before they were called "Trainee") in my flight mentioned something about CAP when the MTI had asked if anyone had JROTC experience and the reply was...well, it would overload the potty-language filter.

Yet the MTIs seem to love those with JROTC training.  Wonder why there's such a disparity?

That's why you never volunteer the infomation that you were a CAP cadet to your MTI.
Believe me, they'll figure out by the third day that you have "advanced knowledge" and they'll ask you.

[Garibaldi]

When I went to Basic, the drill instructors asked who had CAP or JROTC experience. We were made squad leaders and were picked for additional duties like 2 change of command ceremonies.

in 1986 they had all off us report into the TI in the office, on at a time.  That is where he asked me about my experience (ROTC/JROTC).  Like you said...they know pretty early who has any prior experience.....also back then if you had enough prior experience you could Proficiency Advance (PA) out of basic.   Being a Mitchell Cadet was one of the gateways to PAing.

And I took full advantage of the PA program. Took the 17 Day written, passed. Took the 28 day written, passed and started the by-pass procedure.
Of course I spent 36 days in casual because the system "lost me".

Cadet Lockling,  Congratulations.  With your background in CAP, you will do fine, probably better than fine.  The Air Force Academy is having a hard time filling seats and pilot seats right now.  They are looking for motivated youngsters for those seats.  If you stay on top of things, you may very well have an opportunity to apply for Academy or the Prep School at Colorado Springs.  Be aware of that and looking for it.  And the icing on the cake is that they have a very good CAP Cadet Squadron at the Academy.  Best of luck, shoot for the stars.

One of my former cadets had a very similar scenario. He applied to all five service academies, but his one true love was West Point. He did not receive anything back positive, and enlisted. Halfway through AIT, he was pulled to go to the USMA Prep School. He is now halfway through his Jr. year.

Many years ago, our squadron had a cadet accepted to West Point Prep. He failed the math course and was released. Upon his return he entered the National Guard, went to the State OCS, and was commissioned when his former classmates were entering their third class year. Retired as a Colonel.

The ArNG/ANG is kind of a "best-kept secret" in following a route to a commission (or warrant in the Army).

I went NG after active duty USMC. Being a policeman I wanted Special Forces for my resume for SWAT. The NG offered me State OCS and I thought that would be great;  Infantry, Special Forces and a commission. The State had other plans, Logistics. Supply Officer in the rear with the gear? I do not think so. In 20/20 hindsight I should stick to decaffeinated coffee. YMMV

I dunno about other states but KSARNG is BEGGING for prospective warrant candidates right now.
