Looking for Pararescue/Air Controller Career

[Ronin84]

Title sums it up, I was just wondering if anyone had gtten around to doing a career template for either of those?

The RDF Sourcebook has in the SOF careers an AF specialty. If enlisted, a Pararescueman would have a MED of 40. Not sure how they would have done Combat Controllers, though. (they were little known outside the AF when the sourcebook was written up.

Thanks, I didn't look in that book for some reason...

I have Pararescue, though I have by its more formal name ARRS (Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service). I have Combat Controllers. I missed FALOs, or whatever they call them now (I know it's something different, but in a T2K timeline, it would be FALOs). I missed Combat Weathermen too.

I've gone through a few different iterations of various AFSOC careers for v2.2. Here's my most recent implementation. They get a slight excess of first-term skill points (7) compared to other special operations careers with similar prerequisites, but it feels balanced to me because the majority are in non-combat skills. Really, how often do you roll Parachute?
