How To Be A PJ
Рет қаралды 509,620
Күн бұрынGet a glimpse of what it takes to become an Air Force Pararescueman (PJ). PJs are the most elite combat rescue force in the entire DOD. Brian Silva uses his 12+ years of Special Operations and Indoc Instructor experience to mold the body and minds of the individuals who attend his two-day preselection training program which is meant to push each individual past their breaking point and force them to become a team. Brian teaches them the value of teamwork, preparation, and shows them, for their first time, what it means to Never Quit.

The PJs have IMO one of the greatest Military Mottos ever 'That others May Live', it's so succinct, to the point yet the more you read into it, the deeper it goes.

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.

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.

I joined the Air Force to become a PJ. I did pretty good on my past test and shipped off to begin training. Made it about halfway thru indoc and drop[ed out due to an injury I got while rucking. 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. That shit was HARD so I applaud anyone who even attempts it as that's the definition of going thru hell and back!!

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.

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!

I’d try out to be a PJ but I had a buddy that does way more cardio than me try it and that’s the part that got him. I’m more of a lifter and the most I’ve swam was a half-mile, that was hard enough. I believe he said he had to run a mile, then swim one, do so many push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups, then another mile run and swim. That information could be wrong, it’s been a few years since I heard it from him but I still respect the hell out of the guys that go through this. Even the washouts.

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.

And then someone told us how much they work on their sights and how often they shoot. In my entire 4 year enlistment, I fired my M-16 a total of 2 times, and we never had the opportunity to dial the sights in.

@@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.

marines rule You’ll get your chance. Special Warfare is always been critical-manned so you’ll be able to apply for re-train when your unit commander signs off on it. Don’t lose determination for it, always find a way.

@@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

I am a 15 year old girl and I'm in the Civil Air Patrol and since my first air show in ocean city I saw jumpers and legit said that's what I want to do. I want to be a PJ and save lives and do all this and I know the emotional and mental strain of it all. I know the physical tolls it takes especially on a female body but something about it drives me for some reason. I guess what I'm saying is I have no idea how to get there or what to do to prepare myself but this video just drove my aspiration. so thank you for this

@sam-lq6cc 4 жыл бұрын
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.
