  • Now, these guys are definitely not part of the chairforce.

  • I watch these videos because I admire the amount of courage and commitment these men have but when I see the comments below and people are arguing, saying its "easy", or that they "WILL" be a PJ. All I think is either "Do it or shut the fuck up" and admire what these men are doing with their lives, simple as that. I don't mean to offend anyone but basically thats what it come down to...put up or shut up.

  • In USAF Special Ops, which division would going to combat be your actual job?

  • We have a reclass who was a week away from graduating PJ school.. and he didn't fail because of the fitness part... it was not being able to do an IV on a plane... ouch

  • Pararescuemen > SEALs?

  • @SpyOpz94 not at all because SEAL's are experts in just about everything when PJ's are experts in rescue. but dont get me wrong they both have the U.S. Military's hardest training.

  • I wanna do this, I wanna go thro this training, I will do this, I will go thro this training, I will be USAF PJ so help me god

  • Comment removed

  • SOCRATES :D

  • SOCRATES SENT ME

  • gud luck travis

  • What MOS do you have to be to apply ? To be Pararescue

  • @thejoshster2008 it's not called MOS in the Airforce, AFSC is 1T2X1

  • looks like fun

  • I went to PJ indoc. It's a lot harder than it looks in these videos, and there is so much they don't show. Don't go to indoc unless it's your life goal to become a PJ because you WILL FAIL. Out of the 150+ that started with me only 14 people made it.

  • HELL YEAH I'M DEF GONNA DO THIS

  • this brought back a lot of bad memories from my army days

  • Your all jackasses you'll never get it until you get here.

  • Sad part is 75% of the trainees that try for this dont make it after waiting 1yr+ to get the chance, InDoc is only 9 weeks but the rest of pj training takes 2-3 years so dont get your hopes up if you think you can make it past this, you got a hell of a long way to go.

  • Oohrah

  • If only I could swim... LoL

    I'm gonna go TACP... it's the next best thing. Hooah!

  • i put my feet up the wall and the blood was rushing to my head it was crazy

  • ya that looks so fucking cool waste our fucking lives for nothing fuck our govenment fuck out lives god dam we are sheep

  • @Phaint20 And when you get lost at sea.. tell the people the government sent to rescue you they are wasting their time.....kids these days. don't know when to shut the fuck up.

  • these people are weak...i could easly do that

  • @warmonster86 then do it

  • @smileyman62 thats what i plan to do haha

  • @warmonster86 then do me a favor if you do happen to make it through the training come back and tell me how EASY it was

  • @warmonster86 if your not bullshiting me then do me a favor if you actually make it through the training come back and tell me how EASY it was. I seriously doubt you have what it takes

  • @smileyman62 okay ill do that for you

  • @warmonster86 You took a look at a two-minute snapshot and thought "shit, I could do that." Completely missing the point of what makes this difficult: the previous hours and days that led up to this. Go snarf a donut or something to busy your fingers instead of polluting the internets with your blather.

  • @reddog418 what are you talking about, so your suggesting this is the only evidence i have of them, no i know about and i plan to join them, its better to have a positive attitude about it because if you have a negitive attitude towrds it then its hard as shit to do, dont try to be all tough over the internet

  • @warmonster86 "dont try to be all tough over the internet" Are you fucking serious? You started the entire thing with "These people are weak,... i could easly do that." 14 of 100 thought they could do that. You're one of the top 10% of those physically fit individuals? I really doubt that, chubs. Shh... I think there's a cheese and bacon covered baked potato calling your name...

  • @reddog418 you have no idea about my physical level so dont judge me over the internet, i do practices every day that are nearly the same as these, and you calling me fat, i hate bacon. Why try to discourage me huh you think you can do it, i dont think so, so dont try to discourage me.

  • @warmonster86 If I'm discouraging you over the internets, then you must be self-conscious about your weight. And don't call "Weight Watchers" practices; it's not quite as descriptive and you might mislead a few people. You know, I had a great idea. How about you post a video of you completing some of these exercises? No, simpler yet, just do 2 minutes of pushups. You don't have to show your face, just a little handwritten note so we all know it's you.

  • @reddog418 okay dude im not contiuning this argument with you because you have no idea who i am and ive already had this same argument with 2 other people and its getting us no one just continue with your merry little day and dont worry about me

  • @warmonster86 I'm not going to judge your physical fitness but the fact that you called this easy already proves you have NO idea what you're talking about. Pararescue Jumpers are part of the SPECIAL FORCES for a reason, if it was easy then Special Forces wouldn't matter. This is one of the most physically challenging things a human can attempt, and this is only TRAINING. There is no simulation of real combat, this is only preparation. Good luck to you if you try to join, but I doubt you'll pass

  • @Gamer887 hey, the harder you strive the farther you get, i just made that motto up

  • Haha great to see. Reminds me of my Para training for the British Army. I would love to try this training! Great to have you as allies! Respect from your UK brothers in Arms! Keep up the good work! Semper Fidellis!

  • almost same as going to west point.....

  • so a 9 week INDOC and THEN Training for 2 years? Hardcore

  • is the PAST test the reason why there is a 90% attrition rate. or is the actual indoc?

  • @WR3STL3 Absolutely not. The PAST test is said to be the easiest thing one will experience in the entirety of Pararescue training.

  • Chair Force?? I Dont Think So

  • ühm_ÃñýOÑê_wÅNñÂ_chÄt_wíth_mÈ_­Í_fEèl_sø_lÔnÊlY_tÔDÁÿ▼

  • Props to AirForce Special Forces ParaRescue. Awesome!!!

  • @bloodyman551 You dont just pick one or the other, people who have been in the service and train everyday for years dont make the cut, you think you can get in just because you think its a fun job? And Para Rescue Men risk more than any other force in our military. If your worried about risk get a desk job.

  • guys i want to go in the military what should i do navy seal or a pj cause pj looks like a load of fun and u dont risk your life that much plz reply

  • @bloodyman551

    dont go for PJ, you wont make guaranteed..

  • @bloodyman551 if u want to be a PJ then u have 2 become a AF combat medic first, just saying

  • @bloodyman551 if your worrying about risking your life you wont even make it through training

  • I will be a PJ

  • nothing but respect for AF PJs as an ex AF SFer thank you guys for what you do.

  • this was my team and i can tell you that most of yall are idiots ha

  • my god are there so many dumbasses on here that dont know shit about anything, QUIT WATCHING DISCOVERY CHANNEL AND MILITARY CHANNEL AND DO SOME REAL RESEARCH, now dont get me wrong this is a good series but dont come here expecting a 1hour show to highlight all of the training in the pipeline

  • They train for 2 years in total roughly. The special operations (green berets - special forces) community have different training routines except I think some over lap at times or are very close to each other. The training is made up of different types of programs. Each program is designed for a certain amount of time once completed they go onto a new program. Your actual SOF or SF training might be 9 weeks, but after that you go onto learn new trades for your job that can take weeks. imnoexpert

  • so similar to SEAL training

  • you are all retarded. arguing to people you will never meet in your life.

  • @UnderH20guy can I get into pj's as soon as I enlist? Or do I have to work up to that point?

  • @Tylerx47 depends on how good you are at one-upping your recruiter. Let me tell you, your recruiter is not your friend, treat him/her like an opponent or a car salesman. get EXACTLY what you want or no sale.

  • @Tylerx47 you will not survive the pool course.

  • Can't wait. I'm going to be a pj. "That others may live"!!!

  • Made it through 2 ETDs. got 2 blue ascots to prove it. never quit. 

  • Just cause I didnt go through the training doesnt mean I dont know much about them. I work with them on a daily basis. Sure im not saying by any means that I am one god knows i could never do that shit. But you don't have any idea what I do and don't know. And fuck you I fly c130s. There are tons of landing strips where if you go off your mark you can expect to hit an IED. We deal with attacks constantly. Quit reading so much into the anti-af BS that other brances spread.

  • I love watching the Surviving The Cut shows. All of the schools offer tough demanding challenges.

  • im actually about to go do wat they jus showed so im in the middle of training

  • So a Navy SEAL can kill me with his thumb? A USAF Pararescumen could make me kill myself with my own thumb.

  • @drothefuture Hey man both are badass motherfuckers. No need to compare.

  • Hey wuts the song called in the commerical today not the catalyst but there's sum new song...idk! Or is it just their own beat..? And pararescue pretty tough! Ranger school is tougher but I wanna be a marine..so I say good luck to those who wanna do that..much respect for every branch

  • @Commanderjek hahaha seriously? Ranger school... tougher than PJ? Yeahh you're a bright one, no wonder why you're going marines. (;

  • PJ training is actually over 2 years, my father knew a PJ servicemen. It takes time the cadets to move to the another course such as medic combat course which not all courses are located at one spot, it also takes time and planning for the school or course to get ready for the cadets. So there is usually weeks between the courses which they wait but still train of what they learn when waiting.

  • @ownage1894 Poser in what sense?

  • @BethanyRose94, sorry, sweet pea, boys only club.

  • I want to be a Pararescuer.

  • @BethanyRose94 im working on it but im 16 sadly but go for it pass the ASVAB for it then go for it!!

  • @Reptilesandfish

    gotta get above 50 on the general i believe so jus learn ur stuff and train train train....im actually about to go do wat they jus showed so im in the middle

  • @NYer212121 yea dude im sure your talking bout the ASVAB cause i study it but im doing PED in senior year of high school im sophomore right now so im just trying to get the grades..but then junior year im probably gonna take the ASVAB but im definetly training myself in junior and senior year..and i wish you the best of luck and remember the hardest part isnt physical its mental so think right and stay focused! =)

  • @BethanyRose94 if only they allowed women, not sure why they dont

  • @abi999 Well, I was told that it's because if a woman is injured in combat, the men kinda freak out. They're wired to protect. Which, if women did do combat, it wouldn't be fair really to the men. Still love the idea of pararescumen...

  • @BethanyRose94 everyone wants to be, but no one wants to work for it

  • @FuzzyBeaver21 ain't that the truth

  • @BethanyRose94 males only beth

  • @BethanyRose94 whats stopin you

  • @BethanyRose94 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but judging my your account name you're a woman, and women are not allowed to be PJs

    SMSgt Bultsma

  • True. But if your actually planning on trying to become a pj dont kill yourself they need lotsa trainees lol

  • @earl6282

    By the way, not you. Him.

  • @earl6282

    I agree. What a bitch. So if I don't pass my PAST test and I get put into Security Forces or some intel job I don't deserve respect?

  • I'ma try doing this type of training soon

  • @MonsterSpartan

    You will die if you do any of this alone.

  • @drothefuture I doubt it because there is no drill sergant around to supervise me

    and as a basic instinct I will need to rest......... for a day

  • @NHLbamboon yes they train for 2 years but yes soldier55555 is right after basic training they stay at lackland air force base and train for 9 weeks witch this video shows witch is the hardest part of their training to weed out all of the weak guys to get the best of the best so the others can go through the rest of the 2 years of training... you dont know much about pararescue. dont worry not much people do.

  • @novalce are the pjs similar to seals or more like force recon? i dont know much about them since they are not mentioned very often or talked about much overseas like the other branches are. what makes pjs different than the other branches?

  • @unknow6name they're more like recon, if there's like a plane crash. they'll HALO jump behind enemy lines and rescue them

  • @dontworrybehappy6 do they train weapons or close combat like the seals and recon do they only train specifically to rescue behind enemy lines?

  • @unknow6name all SF you train in everything no matter what u r, of course pararescue have to be expert markmans and all that stuff etc....

  • @unknow6name They can fight better than seals yet recon like force recon... there's a guy named wil willis who on a show called "special ops mission" goes on a simulated mission and fights a group of usually 4 people... these 4 people usually come from marine recon, force recon, army infantry, elite law enforcment, and seals.

  • @w33d0wnz69 no, they train for fighting in little to no cover, you obviously dont know anything about what your talking about, you just watch the military channel my freinds dad who is ACTIVE DUTY Pararescue tells me all about the training and how they have not 1 extended training day, but 10, 1 per week of training, also they train for 1.6 -1.9 years of medical, afterwards is when they do combat training

  • @cwehking1 Yeh i knew that they train to fight with little cover but im more than just a military channel fan... i've done lots of research on army rangers and pararescue but of course i will never fully understand what i'm talking because ive never went through even basic training...

  • I think i'll die if ie do that

  • Could I still be a PJ even if I want to earn a college degree to become an officer?

  • @ratchetingclank you would have to go the officer version of PJ- CRO (combat rescue officer)

  • @Jonesy215734 any chance you could give me a brief description of what CROs do?

  • @earl6282

    sure they do their jobs, but so does the guy workin at burger king, its not the job people respect, its the RISKS.

  • south american armies train harder especially sence its in the jungle but props to these guys from Mexico..

  • @Cuauhtli47 you are a fucking idiot. these guys go through training in the jungle as well as all the other types of terrains. fuck mexico.

  • Anyone who says this is not hard.... Try doing the length of the pool underwater- sprint swimming back- and within 1:30 of the beginning of the first underwater- do it again. Repeat 5-10 times with a shirt and dive mask on.  Then watch this video again. That is every day to begin the pool session. EVERY DAY. Oh, be sure to warn your lifeguard- because the wizard is out there.

  • i have the utmost respect for all military people

  • Where are PJ's based? Texas?

  • PJs are the only airfroce personnel I respect besides pilots and Jtac.

  • @Hooahgoarmy I training to fly predator drones to recon areas and engage the enemy if needed to protect soldiers...do you respect my career?

  • @Thoreaxe14 Of course I do. That isnt some little pussy job like most airforce or navy have. You have an actual combat related job. reconnaissance is vital

  • @Hooahgoarmy What about CCT's? Most people dont even know that CCT's exist. Just as much training as PJ's except not in saving lives, instead in how to take lives.

  • @Glock3260 Ya know its funny that I forgot those guys too. Because when I first wanted to join the military in general, I was looking on the Air force website a few years back, and I was like "If i was to join the AF I would become combat control"

  • @Hooahgoarmy thats a real asshole thing to say. what about SERE instructors who spend 2 years the sarah or in the jungle or in arctic environments for weeks at a time with no supplies so they can learn to survive and teach it to aircrew members? what about the loadmasters who get shot at while they fly into combat zones with a big target on their head and deliver supplies and ammo to troops fighting there or fly for 18 hours straight just getting troops out of the desert so they can go home?

  • @TannerDanger Hey ya sure why not.. However in our current conflicts, the enemy can barely see our planes, let alone shoot at them. So no dice there... also, You are talking about pilots and instructors... You have to remember that about 95% sit behind a computer or are mechanics...Vital roles yes, however pussy none the less. 6 weeks of basic? And weak basic at that. 6 month deployments with swimming pools and all other kinds of recreational activities?... Ya nice try brother.

  • @Hooahgoarmy you are ignorant and retarded. 6 weeks? my training is 13 months long. Never get shot at? are you fucking kidding me? My job (as a c130 loadmaster) while we are flying is to sit in the back of my plane with the chaff and flare and watch for enemy fire. Ive been shot at more times than I can count...you ignorant army&marine assholes (btw marines do the same job I do, and army USED to) like to think you guys are the only ones who do anything. Whens the last time you saw the navy?

  • @TannerDanger  dude they train for 2 years

  • @ilikechoclatemilk13 /facepalm dude I KNOW that. I work with these guys all the time. I was talking about MY training...I fly on the plane they jump out of

  • @TannerDanger Your JOB training was 13 months. But basic wasn't. Your basic is 6 weeks. You can say you've been shot at, but that "danger" is no where near of what grunts do. You get small arms fire from thousands of feet away....And ya, Only navy you see is EOD or corpsmen it seems.

  • @Hooahgoarmy False. Basic is 9 weeks now. and youd be surprised how when you land a c130 in a remote strip how suddenly every "innocent" local in the area happens to have mortars available...and ya of course the grunts are in a lot more "danger"...but thats what they signed up for so they have no room to complain or talk trash. They have no idea what we actually do.

  • @TannerDanger

    You sleep at bases that Burger King, Pizza Hut, Big Gyms, pools, and USO concerts. Plus you don't have to worry about IED's.

  • looks like the physical incarnation of suicide training or the definition of it. mad respect.

  • Comment removed

  • @marbm8 you have to go active duty to be a PJ, talk to a recruiter about it.

  • @sam24343 you go on active duy status throughout BMT and the pipeline but afterwards you go back to reserve or guard status with your unit if that is the course you took

  • can anyone tell me how an AF reservist like myself would go about getting into PJ school?? there's gotta be some PJ out there watching these vids...any advice would be appreciated. V/R

  • @marbm8 the 129th at Moffit AFB has an Air Guard PJ unit. Like sam said talk to a recruiter its your best source of info.

  • @marbm8 go to specialtacticsdotcom and you'll get all the info you'll need 

  • @marbm8 switch to active duty. you can do air guard , but... its a hard ass process to get considered for.

  • quick ?, some kid im talkin to says his dad is training to be a Marine Sniper, but somehow his dad is home almost everyday, he said he has weekend training. Is that even possible?

  • @IrepeatAdsIsee yes, he must be in the reserves. They train 2 weekends a month i think

  • this dose not look like it would be easy thes people typing shit on the internet must all be rambos

  • when i went in , i had the mentality that the only way i was leaving pj indoc was death , getting kicked out , or passing. Thats how you stay in , its not so much the physical aspect , you'll get the hang of it , the hardest part is your mind. Control your mind , and pass at any cost.

  • you guys know that the pass rate of superman school is approximately 4-6/100

    or about a 90% dropout rate

    thats higher than BUD/s, Ranger School, Special Forces Q Course, the only SOF training that rivals that is Delta Selection

  • @omgxxxomg I was about to say that exact same thing... My uncle says that if he had a choice between the PJs and the Seals to get him out of a hot spot, he would pick the PJs because they are one of the closest thing to a "Super Man" in the world

  • @omgxxxomg yep and delta recruits men that are already special ops.even then 95% fail

  • And Russians think Spetznaz can compare to our Spec Ops...

  • @w33d0wnz69

    Russia is the country i would not want to fight, those bastards are crazy, and Spetsnaz training has no blowhorns or bells, and they dnt give a shit if they injure you, truly a training environment without rules.

  • @PJTDastmalchi yeh i post some stupid comments when im drunk... but when im stoned i post more intelligent and reasonable comments... Russians do probably have approx. The 10th best training ive seen... but i havent seen spetznaz gru training which i think would break my top 8 list

  • Comment removed

  • @tbone81395 u sir are a dumb ass

  • @colossus3200 thankyou i love you too

  • The physical is not that hard. I can do it but that mental stress is a killer. They have balls of epic proportions to get through this.

  • PJ's because sometimes even Force Recon, Seals, Green Berets need a big brother as 911

  • Will these be available for DVD sale in the future very inspirational for my training.

  • @AgentSpiral You can buy the episodes on iTunes for about $2 each.

  • shout out to all service members SOF of all branches. You have my respect.

  • dang dat stuff looks lke it will make u ah beast..

  • noobs

  • And they say security forces is spec ops...

  • @Jacksonfart12

    are you talking about air force security forces?

  • After watching this episode. I have even more respect for the Air Force, what these guys do is amazing, admirable and you have to want it. They risk their lives so "That Others May Live"

  • Joining the marine corps isnt going to improve your swimming skills unless you pick an mos that involves it like air crew or going for MARSOC. If you want to become pararescue then just go for it. dont waste your time going from branch to branch.

  • I want to do this but I got very little swimming experience, I wont even pass PAST... I'm going to have to go into another branch, maybe Marines, but hopefully airforce. If I cant get in, mostly because of the stupid ASVAB score then I'll just go to Marines... While in the Marines I'll build up my swimming on base and study to raise my score ASVAB score. Then in the future I'll try and fulfill my life dream of becoming a pj

  • @inu5450 Any decent job in the Marines is going to require you to have about a 75 GT score. You don't want to get stuck driving the poop truck in any branch. If your thinking of joining the Military and your basing your branch decision on ASVAB score you should wait a while.

  • what i dont think is like well.. its that you do all of this shit alllll of this and then u can die in a second in the battlfeild it makes everything worth nothing and i know this makes u strong enough so you will be better skilled not to die but still one wrong move and bam

  • The shit right here!

  • I want to join the air force

  • @downtoearth121 haha I'd probably suck at it

  • @FullmetalAlchemist78 No way! You can do it! just train daily!

  • @downtoearth121 I'd beat myself up so badly if I did'nt make it

  • @FullmetalAlchemist78 I am getting 2 navy seaman ready to go off to basic. They call me the "Drill sergeant". lol I am joining the air force. It's really not bad!

  • @downtoearth121 thats cool yea it looks like alot of fun and I want to do something with my life but everyone keeps telling i'll regret it and they tell me I won't like it I hate when people tell me what I like and what I don't like I thought I was supposed to make those decisions myself guess i'm a robot

  • @FullmetalAlchemist78 Yes it is gonna hurt, and yes it is gonna be long. It will be worth it! Pride is something that is embedded into your heart. YOU WILL HAVE PRIDE!

  • @downtoearth121 oh yea I know I would have pride hell yea I need some pride lol I dont really have any in my life right now :P
