Yep, forgot about combat control wearing them. Didn't know about the rest, I'm guessing you were TAC-P? What does that stand for.

You know I was a cop.

TAC-P stands for Tactical Air Control Party. Chances are you ran into one or two on the Army. They are the guys who help call for airstrikes that are attached to Army units.

Missed the security forces. I thought they were combat controllers, called in the airstrikes and coordinated close air support. Whatever they were called they went to the field with us quite a bit, sometimes with every team sometimes just with the platoon relay.

Good guys.

Kinda the same job, but different roles and training.

Combat Control does airstrikes along with setting up forward airstrips. They tend to go in alone, parachuting in and whatnot. True special ops guys. But sometimes can be assigned to other SOF teams that can use that capability. (Task Force Ranger in Somalia comes immediately to mind)

TAC-P (Or E-TACs/J-TACS) does the airstrike thing, but is almost exclusively assigned to an Army unit. When they go in, they tend to bring friends.

The guys that went with us jumped with us. Whatever they were called they sure had the latest and greatest when it came to equipment.

I hated when the AF went away from squadron ball caps. Now it's only Red Horse who can wear them

They take on the capabilities of whatever unit they happen to be with. Those assigned to units like the 101st get Air Assault qualified, 82nd gets static and freefall rated, etc.

Not to say they can't (or won't) get that training regardless, but their entire job is to assimilate with whatever Army unit they happen to be with.

Intelligence official who 'unmasked' Trump associates is 'very high up,' source says

Day after day, various media outlets, well really mostly the NYT and WaPo, have delivered Trump-administration-incriminating, Russia-link-related tape bombs sourced via leaks (in the hope of keeping the narrative alive and "resisting."). It now turns out, according to FXN report, that the US official who "unmasked" the names of multiple private citizens affiliated with the Trump team is someone "very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world."

As Malia Zimmerman and Adam Housley report, intelligence and House sources with direct knowledge of the disclosure of classified names (yes, yet another "unnamed source") said that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, now knows who is responsible - and that person is not in the FBI (i.e. it is not James Comey)

Housley said his sources were motivated to come forward by a New York Times report yesterday which reportedly outed two people who helped Nunes access information during a meeting in the Old Executive Office Building. However, Housley’s sources claim the two people who helped Nunes "navigate" to the information were not his sources. In fact, Nunes had been aware of the information since January (long before Trump's 'wiretap' tweet) but had been unable to view the documents themselves because of "stonewalling" by the agencies in question.

For a private citizen to be “unmasked,” or named, in an intelligence report is extremely rare. Typically, the American is a suspect in a crime, is in danger or has to be named to explain the context of the report.

“The main issue in this case, is not only the unmasking of these names of private citizens, but the spreading of these names for political purposes that have nothing to do with national security or an investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election,” a congressional source close to the investigation told Fox News.

The U.S. intelligence official who “unmasked,” or exposed, the names of multiple private citizens affiliated with the Trump team is someone “very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world,” a source told Fox News on Friday.

Intelligence and House sources with direct knowledge of the disclosure of classified names told Fox News that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., now knows who is responsible -- and that person is not in the FBI.

“The main issue in this case, is not only the unmasking of these names of private citizens, but the spreading of these names for political purposes that have nothing to do with national security or an investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election,” a congressional source close to the investigation told Fox News.


Nunes has known about the unmasking controversy since January, when two sources in the intelligence community approached him. The sources told Nunes who was responsible and at least one of the Trump team names that was unmasked. They also gave him serial numbers of reports that documented the activity.

So the tired Russia BS is so far without any substance to back it up, yet that's all the media can crow about.

On the other hand, it's clear that Obama admin officials either broke the law, or very senior Obama officials abused their position by disseminating intelligence information for political purposes. Further, based on Farkas' interview, it may have shared that classified info with Hillary's campaign. Needless to say, it's a big ****ing scandal. Adam Schiff shows up at the executive building today and CNN won't even cover the story. They know it's likely not going to end well for their masters in the Dem party.

The day of the rope approaches, Obamatards

Yes, No and sorta. I was a scratch golfer late '80's early 90's, had a car wreck messed up my back pretty good and found out later I had 2 broke vertebrae in my lower back. Started playing again and was hard to shoot par anymore but still scored in the high 70's. Haven't played in 4 years because my left arm goes numb due to 3 degenerative vertebrae in my neck which is touching my spine.

Sorry for the long story.

So Schiff returns from viewing the documents. Lo and behold, he doesn't contest anything that Nunes said

It's a sham..... the whole thing. Obama orchestrated the spying on Trump in order to make the transition and first year of his presidency living hell.... because he's going to shut down the border, reverse BHO's energy policy, turn back his environmental regulations and "claimed"!thr repeal of Obamacare.

This Russian collusion story is nothing but distraction....and the hack was Wassermann Shultz own IT staffer.... they're blaming the Russians to try and cover their own stupidity. They've already cleaned house at the DNC..... if there was collusion and acts that impacted the election it was done by the dumbasses at the DNC.
