NoFirstly are you serving?
Affirm, Corporal/Bombadier minimum to do the JTAC course. L/Cpl and L/Bdr can do the TACP signaller course, it doesn't necessarily mean you will go on to be a JTAC but is a really good introduction to "air speak" and battle space management.Then read what Cheeky-Chimp said, look at the Units attending back then which to be fair wont be much different nowadays and join one of them. Once you get through training, get promoted as i think you need to be a JNCO at least then get JSP 918 (if its still applicable) out and read it....job done.
Based in Bath.There is a reserve unit that does this I believe Clegg Bristle is a member (the old fart), you will recognise him in the bar with the little black cocktail dress and heels.

Officer is the JTAC with SNCO and 2 X JNCO signallers make up the TACP. RAF Regiment provide it for 16 AAB, 3 Commando Bgde via 29 Commando, SFSG and themselves. Training is at RAF Leeming JTACTSU (8 weeks) using the Hawks from 100 Squadron. Need to do PrePara selection as well for 16th AAB or All Arms Commando Course for 3 com brigade...I want to do this job but when I attempt to look it up there is little to no information, I'm wondering what regiments have JTAC/FAC's and how many times they are actually deployed and use their training?

Is it similar to the five man team set up that 148 Battery had for their Naval Gunfire mission?Not quite true. The JTACs in a TACP will usually be an officer but may be a SNCO and another who will be at least a Bombardier/Corporal. The siggies may not be JNCOs. RAF Regt ‘may’ provide ‘some’ personnel for 16AAB Bde and 3CDO Bde, others are from 7RHA and 29CDO, with some pax also being RM in the case of 3CDO Bde.
There is a pre-selection that must be passed prior to attending the JTAC course. There is also a two week TACP signallers course, also run at Leeming.
