I've had a ride with the PJ's and yes they did save my carcass (obviously I can't go into details) but long story short woke up to the sound of "hey! Your going to be fine just stay down" felt something get stabbed into my arm woke up in a medical tent, in only my skivvies and socks on, the rest was in a bloody heap in the corner, I don't know the guys who saved me that day, but I'd love to thank them for pulling me out of there & patching me up.

Being a junior in high school I never saw a job or career that I really wanted to pursue but when my older brother went into the army for national guard it opened my eyes to more possibilities and I started looking into things and when I read about PJs it was the first time that actually knew what I wanted but as a female 16 year old who's not really active I didn't have that confidence that I could do it but there matto "these things we do that others may live" really strikes me that and people who incourage me to do it gives me a lot of courage to make my goal an achievement.

If it helps as consolation, no woman makes it through special operations selection. These recruitment schools make >90% of athletic, motivated, strong men quit. How could a woman, who has less muscle mass, less bone density, less cardiovascular capacity (smaller lungs and heart), less absolute strength, thiner skin, less testosterone, etc. make it? Furthermore, even if they lower the standards and let women in, they wouldn't be able to remain operational for an entire deployment (hormonal changes that will render her useless physically-wise, including her erratic and unexpected behaviour during a crucial time). What kind of command would want such an operator? Would you be able to lift and carry a man in full gear? Could you engage in hand-to-hand combat with a man hell-bent on killing you? Another factor is how a woman can disrupt the camaraderie among the men, who will not be brothers anymore but unconscious sexual competitors for the female. We could go on and on. I hope you have thought this through realistically and not through the lenses of the 'women power' fairy tale that doesn't exist in combat.

Since before I enlisted, I’ve wanted to be a pj. I can’t remember how I heard of them. Can’t remember when.. but it doesn’t matter. My best friend died, CPL Brandt recently. After wrestling with the pain and loss of his death, I’ve felt an enormous pain in my soul, a burning passion and a hunger to spend the rest of my days working to preserve the life of others. I’m on my way to 160th when I come home from deployment, and after my contract, I will die before I fail to be a PJ. These things I will do, so that others may live. Miss you Q. Love you.

Once I hit my 5 year mark I plan on cross training back into pararescue but until then I'm stuck working as a maintainer.

RESPECT....one and all! Met one of these "supermen" during my stint as NCOIC, Med-Surg/OB Ward at K. I. Sawyer AFB in the mid to later 1970's in the U.P. of Michigan. His wife worked the OB Unit and he would stop by to visit. Sergeant Tommy Miles, Jr was a commanding figure and fine example of the PJ creed! He was still a little singed around the edges at that time from a mission that didn't go well. Sergeant Miles was on the wire over a B-52 that had crash landed, was on fire and still had a load of ordnance on-board! He was checking to insure all crew members had egressed safely and, as an aside, was to attempt shutting off the fuel supply to the engines. He never made it. The ordnance cooked off; he was caught in the fireball and fell 200 feet. The helo and other crew members perished, I believe. Sergeant Miles "died" twice on the operating table before they were able to stabilize him. He recovered and returned to duty. I just asked my wife if she remembered Mrs. Miles and had ever seen Sergeant Miles on that unit (my wife worked on the same unit from 1975-1977). Approximately 41 years later and she said, "Oh yeah, I remember both! She was a civilian nurse and he was a big man!" That, in a nutshell, was the superman I met once upon a time! I was honored to have crossed his path. RESPECT....Tommy Miles RESPECT....William Pitsenbarger RESPECT....John Chapman "....so others may live...." L.E.H., USAF-Ret 1971-1997

These guys are incredible! Not just physically but mentally. They're not just tough warriors, they're also smart, skilled first responders. Besides the physical training there's also the paramedic course. I'm an EMT basic. It was a tough class. These guys who get past the physical training have to study emergency medical services and all the way up to full paramedic. And they do it in 8 months! I thought my civilian EMT class was tough in 4.5 months! They do EMT in 7 weeks! Then paramedic! And only 50%-55% of the civilian public passes the NREMT -P test the first time.85% of PJ students pass the written exam the first time! All the respect in the world to them!

@@danielbrown1999 Special Warfare is a new never previously existing career field established effective 31 October 2019. It is the career grouping for four (4) enlisted career occupational specialties, each having a distinct separate specialty codes (AFSC) and specialty description. A common entry classification code similar to the US Army's 18X MOS hasn't yet been implemented. Such may be implemented in the future as its being experimented with the current A&S course for those entering A&S out of BMT. But I've not heard any rumors to extend such to those seeking to retrain yet. Consequently retrain entry classification applications are still out of current AFSC into a specific new AFSC. This means opportunity to retrain is driven by the needs of the loosing and gaining AFSC. Applying and getting the approval is bit more complicated than simply unit commander favorably signing off on the retrain application request. This gives some info on the Army's 18X enlistment program www.army-portal.com/jobs/special-forces/18x.html

Travelin' Ted PJ’s are the only DOD that deal with combat search and rescue, there is literally no other special ops or special forces that compare to what they do, whenever someone is in shit trouble you call these guys. Rangers, SEALs, and Special Forces all have different missions but most of them deal with DA, totally different mission set. Do some research before commenting. Most ignorant comment I’ve seen so far.

When I was going through AF basic training in 1972 one of the other instructors took me aside and tried to convince me to become a PJ. I really didn't want to go Viet Nam to jump into the jungle to rescue someone. As it turned out the AF was good for me. Gave me a good intro into electronics.

Im a 18yo, and im genuinely interested in being a PJ. I took an AF-WIN and special operations was my top recommendation. Before that, i took an ASVAB and got a 92. I still haven't graduated high school, or talked to a recruiter but i plan on it very soon. This video is so helpful. So thank you. Especially for going out there and bringing our guys back home.

@@Matte_Val yeah, i have a few. Take a practice asvab to see what areas you need to work on, and what areas youre good at.(pretty sure that goes wo saying) Theres an app that i have, search ASVAB Practice in whatever app store you have, it has all areas that the test covers. Use the app, it really helps you prep for the real thing. Some sections are going to have more questions than others, but dont fret, i found the sections w a lot of questions had easier questions. You have 2hr and 34 min if you take the online version of the test, just a heads up. Some questions are kinda complicated, so work backwards, if the answer is 34, plug it into the question and check. I got a few questions where i had to do that. You only get scrap paper and a pencil, no calculator. They collect the paper at the end. I have no clue what they do with it, but they take it.

I saw a documentary on PJ's which covered the entire pipeline. In Korea and Vietnam there was only a handful of them in total. In 1981 I had close to a dozen in my class at Airborne school at Ft. Benning and years later 4 were TACP/JTAC in free fall at Yuma. They definitely got respect from everyone. I heard that not many make a career in this field because of the higher ups and no choice of duty station. You would think that AFSOC would be more squared away.

BBALL FOR LIFE yes actually, depending on your state of course. our state mission is primarily search and rescue (assisting local resources). we have flight hours to maintain proficiency and have the opportunity to fly on a weekly basis. as aircrew the commitment is more than a weekend a month and two weeks a year , and my unit is composed of EMS/hospital professionals. i myself work full time as a paramedic so there is definitely some life balancing between my civilian, home, and military life. the pj program im considering is actually through the air guard.

My dad flew USAF search and rescue. He retired after 30 years. Said that the PJs are supermen. Never told many stories, just showed a lot of respect for them and he was a difficult man to impress. My hat is off to them. Edit: basically the story was that these guys fall out of the sky, fight their way in to your wounded ass, sew you up, fight the way out, steal an enemy helicopter, and fly you to safety. Truly, that was the kind of mythos that surrounded my father's reverence for these heroes.
