Hi, I think I need to talk to someone who has gone through all the stops on the way to CCT. I am a junior with about a year and a half left, and I think I have decided that I want to go for combat control, yet I can't seem to get straight answers from my recruiter (ex. He insists that prospective CCTs still go to Indoc). I'll put what I have basically gathered about what I should do, and then hopefully you guys will tear it apart and correct me. I enlist, go through MEPS and all the entrance stuff and then to basic. Do I enlist as "Combat Controller" or something like security forces? After that, say I enlisted to be security forces and I'm done with basic and all that. Do I apply to go into the orientation and pipeline? If there is an application, what is the process and how long would it typically take? Would I leave the unit I was with to go begin training? I really hope that a CCT can respond to this and hopefully even email me with details. I posted on the USAF CCT association web site and they told me to ask the recruiters, and I emailed a CCT recruiter in Texas and got generally the same response. Could someone who has been through thia please enlighten me? Thanks!
