Delta forces are right there but largely unknown vs the other special forces as well.My son has been an Air Force JTAC for 18 years now with 7 combat tours between Iraq and Afghanistan under his belt. Jobs like that and the PJs/CCTs will make a young man old in short order. Most people don't think of the Air Force in ground combat...but they're always in the middle of it somewhere.
If I have not done so, please tell him thank you for his service from me. You must be a very anxious and proud father to have raised such a man.My son has been an Air Force JTAC for 18 years now with 7 combat tours between Iraq and Afghanistan under his belt.

^^ Thanks. Just a little more bragging... He was awarded a Bronze Star with Valor for heroism during the battle of Fallujah in 2004. He moved into an open position to draw enemy sniper fire away from a disabled Bradley carrying wounded soldiers. Once the sniper(s) fired at him he returned fire from about 200 meters and killed them both allowing other soldiers to get to the Bradley to evacuate the wounded.
Yeah...I'm pretty proud of him.
