chapman was apart of the seal team cunningham was on the rescue chopper.. but alot of seal teams and other sf teams use pj's due to there combat medic training.. there is nobody better trained to save a life in combat than a pj..
what about Jason Cunningham? he was a pj and was attached to a seal team. they went down in a chopper crash in Afghanistan. they sent in to survey the valley below them suspected ot enemy movment,when they got there they found out the mountain was crawling with enemy. he lost his lifeon the mountain wiht the seal team he was with. can you explain this
Sgt. Timothy Wilkinson received the Air Force Cross for his efforts to rescue the crew of a downed UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter and a ground team near Mogadishu, Somalia, on Oct. 3, 1993. Sgt. Wilkinson, a pararescue specialist assigned to the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, volunteered to remain on the ground and repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire during the 18-hour engagement.
The thing is about the ABU is yes it does suck and BDU are much better, but we can't stand out in a group or the enemy will pick out us as a high priority target. Someone of importance. Overall the ABU doesn't seem very combat related and I much prefer the BDU's.
Yes they do, PJ's get attached to SEAL platoons, Special Forces A Teams, and Air Force Special Tactics Teams....their bread and butterh is COMBAT Search and Rescue...if you want somewhat of an idea, watch Blackhawk Down, the two fella's who fast rope in to tend to the folks in the first chopper that was shot down were PJ's.
No the weren't. They were army rangers. The army rangers may not do it as often, but they recite an oath every morning to help their fellow rangers even if it means death.
Even in the Blackhawk Down screen play they say his name in that scene.Crew Chief: [to Medics roping down] Go! Go! Go!
Crew Chief: Roger; give me 90 degrees to the left.
[Black Hawk rotates 90 degrees to the left while minigun begins to fire; killing all the Somalis with weapons while one stray RPG shoots down and misses TSgt. Tim "Wilkie" Wilkinson by inches]
TSgt. Timothy A. Wilkinson received the Air Force Cross for his actions of leading the search and rescue team to extract the shot down blackhawk crew during the battle of Mogadishu. Look it up, just do a google search for Timothy A. Wilkinson and you can read all about it yourself.
lol, wow, u need to get ur facts straight buddy.... How many PJs do u know that are attatched to SF teams right now??? Special Tactics Teams..... i didnt know STS was running unilateral missions now... Look, appreicate the support, but your obviously mis-informed and not very intelligent.

When PJ's and CCT's are attached to an STS, they are apart of an STS, however they DO get sent out to work with ODA's and SEAL platoons..but whatever man you seem to be the resident expert on all things PJ and CCT...but you are misinformed if you are saying that they only work with each other in STS..if you need proof aside from all your knowledge on STT's...read Black Hawk Down..there were PJ's, CCT's, SEAL's, Rangers and Delta working there...but your right they don't ever work together.

well vizcaya, since you sound so up to speed on the roberts ridge incident.... Actually, no, Jason was not part of the Seal team... I believe you are thinking of John Chapman, the Controller with Mako. Jason was part of the QRF package with the Ranger element that responded to Mako's helo getting shot down. His helo was also shot down, and due to his, and Kerry Miller's work, they saved several Ranger's lives that day.
Guess it was better when every branch wore the same outfit. Now it's like a fashion show MARPAT, ACU, ABU, MC. The ACU blends in perfectly in a parking lot near the shopping mall, but it's a disaster in a forest IMHO. Also I feel that this digital trend is getting worldwide. Like if it's not digital pattern, then it's useless. Well at 500 meters it doesn't matter anymore if the camo is digital or not
The ABU was not designed for ground combat use, hence still having pockets on the anterior like we're still stuck in WWII. They are wearing them to fit in with everyone else wearing ACU's on the ground. Don't want to stand out, look different or important in DCU's and get picked from a shooting gallery of insurgent snipers now do we?

Actually yeah I know quite a few...CCT too that are attached to ODA's...attached with SEAL platoons also...so I'd say my facts are pretty straight.
marckkkyyy21 2 years ago
Just stop guy, you sound stupid to the people who actually know about these things, say for instance someone who actually is in the STS realm.
