AIM HIGH!!!

The downside to AFSOC is that the ground-pounder duties involve rescuing downed airmen (PJs), doing air traffic control in a combat zone, and possibly forward air control. You will not be assigned to missions where you hunt down and kill/capture bad guys. If you're OK with that and want to get all kinds of action-adventure training, the PJ's would be good.

Due to the lack on ongoing focus on direct action, AFSOC guys are not quite as badass as the army/navy operators.
