Sure - Go here first:
Combat Rescue Officer (CRO) Selection Criteria and information
http://www.specialtactics.com/crocriteria.shtml[/url]
Special Tactics Officer (STO) Selection
[url]http://www.specialtactics.com/sto.shtml[/url]
There's POCs listed on both those pages.
Then for PJ, CCT, CRO, and STO related documents and applications you can download, go here:
[url]http://www.specialtactics.com/documents.shtml[/url]
Finally - Here's the link to the electronic Air Force Instructions (AFIs) that provide all the details:
[url]http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/pubs/publist.asp?puborg=AF&series=36
Scroll down to the following:
AFPD36-20 - ACCESSION OF AIR FORCE MILITARY PERSONNEL
AFI36-2002 - REGULAR AIR FORCE AND SPECIAL CATEGORY ACCESSIONS
And (of course) the one that will probably help you the most:
AFI36-2004 - INTERSERVICE TRANSFER OF OFFICERS TO THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE (USAF) AND THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE RESERVE (USAFR)
Here's an excerpt:
This instruction explains how Regular, Guard and Reserve commissioned officers may transfer to the USAF and USAFR. It interfaces with Air Force Policy Directive 36-20, Accession of Air Force Military Personnel, and implements Department of Defense (DoD) Directives 1205.5, Transfer of Members Between Reserve and Regular Components of the Military Services, 10 April 1995 and 1300.4, Inter-Service Transfer of Commissioned Officers, 15 November 1996. The requirements in this instruction remain in effect during contingencies or wartime.
3. Applying for Transfer.
3.1. Officers from Other Active Duty Uniformed Services Who Want To Join the Active Air Force. These officers must request transfers according to the rules and regulations of their parent services.
Officers must get transfer requests approved by the Secretary of their parent uniformed service before sending requests to Headquarters (HQ) Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC)/DPPAOO.
3.2. Air Force Agencies Desiring Services of Officers of Other Uniformed Services. The agencies submit their request through the major commands (MAJCOM) to HQ AFPC/DPPAOO, which forwards them to the Secretary of the parent uniformed services for approval or disapproval. The applications must include statements signed by the officers consenting to the transfers.
3.3. Line Guard and Reserve Officers From Other Uniformed Services Who Want to Join the Active Air Force. Before starting the process, these officers should contact HQ AFPC/DPPAOO at the address or phone number indicated in Attachment 1. HQ AFPC/DPPAOO will put them in contact with the appropriate assignment officer to determine that the transfer meets the needs of the Air Force. DPPAOO will initiate the conditional release. When an approved conditional release is received, the officer submits the application at the address in Attachment 1. When the process is complete and the officer is selected, HQ AFPC/DPPAOO will send the completed conditional release and the oath of office to the losing agency so they may discharge the member.
3.4. Guard and Reserve Officers From Other Uniformed Services Who Want to Join the Air National Guard (ANG) or Air Force Reserve. Members interested in transferring to the ANG or USAFR should contact a recruiter in their local area for information and assistance. Members interested in the ANG should call 1-800-864-6264 to obtain the recruiter located closest to them. Members interested in the Reserve should call 1-800-257-1212.
I'm sure with all that info to look through, you'll find the answers you need.
Hey - What about FA39? They must be looking for more of them, about now...

ParaMP, in addition to the good stuff provided by JR, here's the link to the Army specific info on officers applying for interservice transfer. Good luck.

JR,
Already designated for FA39. I get back to Bragg next May after going to the sandbox for a few months. Got Ranger and SERE already lined up, but if that doesn't quench the thirst, I want to have other options!
Thanks for the input. It is very helpful!
