I fly SOF airlift, so it’s a tad different than the AMC bro’s, and it’s an overseas unit which adds it’s own unique flavor to the ops tempo. Home station, most younger guys fly twice a week. The majority of our local training flights are at night which can throw off the home life, but we do have the occasional day line. If you’re not flying it’s a pretty laid back schedule, but flying easily turns in to a 12-15 hr day. We get our fair share of SOF trash hauling which lends itself to min crew rest somewhere, but we participate in a lot of JCS and JCET exercises. Those put us somewhere in theater for ~3 weeks, where we spend every day with our host nation comrades flying and working together to build interoperability. Those trips are pretty awesome, and as far as I know, unique to the overseas units. Our squadron also supports some real world operations and alerts, but a public forum isn’t the best place to discuss those. It ebbs and flows with what’s going on in the world, but in general I’d say you’ll spend a cumulative couple months away from home, but you won’t be gone as often as the C-17 and KC-135 brethren seem to be. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any more questions or interest in an overseas AFSOC unit.
