Combat Photographers
Greetings all, and Happy Veterans Day.
While my ultimate goal is and has been SF for many years, I realize that the route we take is rarely the route we planned in life. I still hope to be among you in the coming years.
To my question: I have a small photography business and a lot of technical training to back it up. I love it. Maybe because of this, my recruiter (who is an old friend) keeps throwing around pursuing Combat Photographer as my MOS while I work towards an SF career. Does anybody here on the forums have experience working with combat photographers? Has anyone started as a combat photographer and gotten a chance to go to SFAS? From my research I understand that combat photographer slots are limited and the job is generally assigned, not requested. Would a Combat Photog-to-SF career path be realistic, if even possible?
Thank you for your input and for your service.
