Does anyone here subscribe to specialoperationsreport.com magazine?

We got the latest issue here at the shop the other day and in an article about Air Force Special operations, found and interesting statement:

....."The United States Air Force combat controllers are often called,
"The Quiet Prof-essionals,"(their spelling) for their battlefield exploits are usually executed under the radar and without fanfare. .......

Just thought ya'll may find this interesting.

Take care,
Blake

Yep, that's true. Hurlburt Field, FL (HQ AFSOC) is known as "The home of the Quiet Professionals".

Blake,

As a Combat Controller with over 22 years active duty, yes, I do find that interesting. I do not think that is exactly what you meant though.

22 years and CCT is good for a lot but it doesn't get you out of filling in your profile, posting an introduction in the right place, and reading/heeding the stickies. Welcome to our house. Peregrino

Air.177,
"Quiet Professionals" is a name adopted by many special forces units worldwide (in native tongue, naturally). I, and I suspect many others on this board, heard it first in usage with the USSF; but it is certainly possible that they were not the first to use it. The same goes for many mottos (ie: Who Dares Wins, Primus inter Paris etc.), although I believe De Oppresso Liber is original (?).

We're not going to entertain this issue.
