IHTFP2003...just a few notes to add on your post...since returning from the desert AWACS guys haven't deployed, although I'm sure they are looking for somewhere to go. Must be getting bored sitting in Tinker all this time. May be different for the JSTARS guys. I wouldn't call the AWACS guys glorified ATC exactly. That's like calling JSTARS guys traffic patrol. They do learn alot of tactics and I haven't seen an ATC guy control an LFE with 16 to 20 fighters, run CSARS, tanker control and TST's. By the way...if the job sucks...why are you doing it?
