What Is Air Force Pararescue?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Air Force Pararescue Specialists - PJs - are the US military’s primary special operations rescue experts. The two years of training weeds out close to three of every four candidates, but those who make it are trained in scuba, free-fall parachuting, small team tactics, mountain and ocean rescue, and advanced battlefield medicine.

LETS GO! my dad is currently a PJ and I want to be one like him when I go into the military
Your dad is a certified bad ass
you did homework?
Your dad is saving the asses of 75th Rangers, Navy SEALs, Special Forces (Green Berets), 1st SFOD-D, DEVGRU, downed pilots, stranded units, list goes on. Your dad is a fucking angel man.
@@Tovashi thanks man
Your dad is a badass and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 🤟🏾
Every podcast or book I've every consumed about special operations, which is a lot, I've never heard anything but good stuff about PJs. Everyone says they are squared away, expert professionals and tough physical studs. It seems like a branch of special operations that manages to stay humble, train hard and avoid the toxicity that sometimes follows elite unit egos. God bless
Yep 👍🏻
True silent professionals
I met a few of them when I was at Lackland. Great dudes. Super professional but carried an aura about them that you just knew they were elite.
@@tonyh2181 No question that they are
Damnnnnnnnn, I’m a Paramedic working on getting my critical care, but this is mind blowing. Thank god for these men.
The amazing thing about PJs are the whole entire pipeline the one I met with was almost 5 years long just to become a PJ. PJs are the Military's/ Worlds best kept secret they do some of the hardest work in most intense situations at a much more abundant rate than other Special Operations. Not to mention you hear about all the attrition rates for these selection courses for other Special Forces selections but Para Rescue or PJ school is the only school in the military that can graduate with 0% attrition meaning no student passed the course and they have the pictures in the hall to prove it. The most elite operators you hear and read about relied on these guys in the stickiest of situations. That being said DOL :)
The guys that the Seals,Rangers,Special Forces,and Pilots call for help.
I had the pleasure of working with these guys. Absolute professionals and my favourite force to work alongside across the pond.
Almost 2 years worth of training if i counted my weeks correctly there. Wow, thats dedication for things we may never hear about. Thank you, and God bless.
Just signed up today my boy wish me luck I’m about to take a 6 moth course to see I’m qualified
@@godsway8501 I want to sign up. Good luck brother. If u have any advice I'd love to have a chat over the phone on how I can get to where you're at
Let's not forget the additional 1 more year of operational upgrade training.
@@godsway8501 how did it go?
@@charmin6657 Haha I ended up not going, Just a change of heart… I was really determined to get into it tho, But if you specifically are, Get in the greatest shape of your life, Not only for the training but because this is Special Forces, Big boy shit they don’t play, they talk about Chair Force, That ain’t gon slide in Pj 👀🤦🏾♂️🫡😂
PJs are the most badass trained and have a mentality all their own. Bless 'em.
Totally amazed people pass all those courses. They rank number one in my book.
When everyone else wants to be a SEAL I only care for the PJ’s
Same here man
Exactly, they swim like Seals,jump like Rangers,teach like Green Berets, and also do their medical, and rescue ops. Why just pick one specialty when a PJ can do it all, and also be attached to all of the other special ops units.
Had a couple of classmates look up to SEALs. I wanted to be the one that SEALs called when they got their asses in a bind
SEAL community is slowly being disgraced. PJ's are the ones with extremely high praise and pretty much no controversy, they are the quiet professionals SEALs once were.
I remember watching a series about these guys on Nat Geo (back when they were good) with my older brother. I thought (and still think) these guys are cool. Though I also feel bad for them because they have too see so much brutal stuff because of their occupation. God bless them.
Inside Combat Rescue?
Yeah, but at the end of the day I’m sure they stay positive by reminding themselves that their whole mission is to help the people who have been in those brutal situations.
@@dallasyap3064 Correct. Great show.
@@zpezar8532 You’re right. I’m in a medical field too, and I totally understand that mindset, though these guys are on a whole different, far more badass level than I am.
@@fuzzyhead878 yup great show indeed.
PJ's are fucking badasses.
If you can't get a PJ contract get an Army Ranger one, the 75th Ranger Regiment offers schools just like CCT, scuba and HALO. Plus, you get to shoot and blow up shit a lot more. Either way you will find out PJ's and Rangers work excellent together.
yea the 75th ranger are bad ass
U.S. Army Rangers also obtain the highest enemy kill count and the highest amount of high valued enemy captures. I'm working on getting into the Ranger community so wish me luck.
COLDBLUESTEEL! Good luck u got it
The chance of getting slots at special schools like freefall and dive is slim for Rangers. It's a not requirement for them. For many other units, it's part of their selection training. However, Rangers are indeed badass in killing or capturing off HVTs, they have the highest number of HVTs killed/captured, they are highly trained and very experienced in DA missions.
I never said this about military, but thank you for your service.
Bad asss! had no idea these were fully qualified paramedics
That's one of the coolest careers ever. I'm trying to get into the Air Force, and this certainly caught my attention; too bad I have a phobia of water.
Phobia or mental limitation?
@@drahkana7829 Nah fr anything is possible if you got an iron will
You have to change your mindset vocabulary, you're not trying to get into the the air force you will join the air force
Show some CCT & SR love too!
When I was in Basic Training at Lackland our Drill Instructor said those were the Krazy 1s & that was 1985
Jesus, months on months of some of the hardest training you could possibly endure. And on top of that they do all this work just so they can get the chance to drop into the middle of an enemy combat filled field
Not just months, it's years, PJ selection training is 2 years. After getting their beret, they have another year + of operational upgrade training.
Dream job, basically you’re a real life super hero 😃
Pararescue are awesome but CCT are the bomb!!!
I see what you did there 😂
Literally
This is exactly how ignorant egomaniacs kill a whole team and pleading insanity when the fog of war clears... no commitment GOD, country and Others.. HA..
@@sonnygoc-ong7011 what are you on about?
If it weren't for the wording lol
I was fortunate to be with the 56 RQS when it was in the UK. Great times
That was the dream job. Unfortunately, HEMS is as close as I'll ever get.
Never give up
Are you HEMS right now? If you are, thank you so much!
If not, I hope you get there!!
Right now I reckon Air Force Pararescue are people who do nothing but train in the rear because there's no active deployments going on anymore.. At least to my knowledge. There are some far and few in between I'm sure. Most of which are likely secret.. But it's not what it was. We're not in Afghanistan anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still give them props. I was a paratrooper in the 82nd which is nothing compared to what these guys are. I understand most PJ's likely still have multiple deployments under their belts. Also, I know that SERE school is no joke. Most of their training is no joke. I'm just saying that right now, that's essentially all they're doing as long as they aren't deployed, which there is not much going on deployment wise. They're ready to go anywhere though, and I give them props for that.
They do assist with rescue operations on the civilian side when requested.
There are still some PJ’s seeing action. Special Tactics PJ’s deploy with ODA teams.
PJs still rescue civilians who got lost hiking up mountains or flooded neighborhoods after a hurricane hit it. Not to mention bring astronauts back to land after landing in the ocean.
amazing people im very proud of what my daughter boyfriend do " so other may live"
Awesome video it really explained the term “PJ” good for me. Thanks
basically 911 for SF units
Not just for other spec ops, but for other military personnel, civilians and even astronauts!
Panama city represent!!!
Take ASVAB Monday going in as a pj here I come
Good luck! How is it going
More Air Force special warfare!
It takes almost 2 years of training to become a PJ
And an additional year for the operational upgrade training.
PJ’s rule !
Hooyah green feet!!
I’ll be back in 2+ years when I’m a pj 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Godspeed
will you do a video with the 75th rangers
Impressive group then
When the best of the best call 911 it's a PJ that turns up
Hey, guys. If my calculations are correct, the weeks of the whole PJ formation are 87, excluding BMT. In Air Force official site it's written the formation lasts more time. Plus, what about additional 6-month Special Tactics training?
What’s the j stand for on pj,s?
Jumper
Hay #JT Bet I can Start a Helicopter faster than you can!!
Whats the background music?
Cool
thats my dream
Start getting in shape yesterday. And start learning paramedicine tomorrow. And let me know when you get there, and I'll be forever jealous!
I mean.. I'm almost finishing nursing to then go paramedic
Desmond Doss would've been one of these guys.
PJs kill if they have to so maybe not.
Anyone keep track of how many weeks in total?
that be a very cool job, they rescue down air men and women in combat!!
PJs are amazing but SecFo definitely takes the cake. Stay cool and dry
Can officers become pararescue
No. But there is an Officer's counterpart occupation called Combat Rescue Officer (CRO). CROs lead pararescuemen, manages rescue and recovery assets and basically provides command and control for combat search and rescue missions.
they are the 911 for special operations
They get the wounded and bring them home!!!
no way my dads in the thumbnail💀
Great video y’all, joining the marines in 2026 after highs school, these guys are had ass! Even tho they airforce lol…
Let’s go Brandon! FJB!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mission hasn't changed.. We're still jack-of-all-trades master of none; just masters of problem-solving of here now anshit!!! HA [HOOYAAH and ALOHA]
My neighbour is a PJ, whilst he is away jumping and puffing his chest out, his wife is jumping on me. Happy days
You really just needed to tell someone didn't you. Must be pride or guilt. Cool, but this isn't confession.
savage, living my dream
Still 2x the man you'll ever be
Just say you failed selection and get out 😂
@@xanshen9011 guess again
