@dogdylan11 6 years to prepare yourself. PAST quals just changed and are more strict. 6 years may be a long time and you could change your mind but if its what you truly want stay focused and push yourself.
@dogdylan11 so... 6 more years.. which means you're about 12?? enjoy your childhood man.. there will be time to train.. just join sports.. like lacrosse, swimming, water polo or wrestling.
this is for the helmet conversation.well most of the time they have to carry light so they have many tygpes of equipment thats why u see many differences
@MrLegionaire13 It's called Multicam. I know some U.S. Special Ops are using it along with some UK Special Ops. And now I believe the U.S. Army is switching to it. It is a great camo with a wide range of use.
@MrLegionaire13 They are slightly different, both patterns were developed by Crye Precision. The US pattern is called Multicam and is only issued to soldiers in afghanistan (hence it's other name: OEF camouflage pattern). British soldiers are issued the multi terrain pattern (a mixture of Multicam and DPM). But I think british special forces are using both patterns.
@dbJ1R The multicam pattern for Air Force aircrew is only issued to HH-60 and C-130 crews. It can be worn in any theater, Kuwait, Africa, Afghanistan, etc.The ground pounder multicam uniform is mostly worn by the PJs and Red Horse personnel, again in any theater or AOR.
@MrLegionaire13 If I remember correctly you Brits are switching to MTP which is the DPM pattern in Multicam colors while your SF units have been using the original Multicam pattern for while now; which what the US Army, and other units are using/switching to.
@TheTavorMan21 yeah prettymuch all of our troops have it then reserves get it and cadets are getting it in 2014, personally i hate it but ill be FFL by then lol :) (and our spec ops used what ever country they were in i belive or whatever they needed lol)
im currently in AirForce JROTC in high school and im thinking of going into ROTC at college and then enlist in the USAF to become a PJ. Im dedicated to make it because i am willing to risk my life for others and i want to be known as the best so i end my life proud.
my friend and i cannot decide if wer want to enlist as aerail gunners, or pararescue. the main problems are i dont know if i need alot of medical knowledge, or if i could just be a cover man. also there is not much info on aerial gunne4rs. if anyone can help, it would be highly appreciated
@tragicFR0ST8YT3 good luck getting an aerial gunner slot............i had it on my "dream sheet" but they only take about 2% of the applicants. the problem is is that they have so few slots to fill and no one wants to get out of the career field. if you want to deploy, if you want action do pj,eod,cct,tacp or sowt. if you want to see combat got sec forces and volunteer for one of their special units like ravens(pussies) or airborne security forces. they are strictly volunteer so its up to you.
no ones going to read this but im working to get in the af academy and want to work up for pj because i dont wanna kill anyone but i mean i would if i needed to but i value others more than me, so i want to help anyone i can and rescue people and or ive always wanted to be a SEAL because i want to be the best of the best and if i can be that i know ill do good because ill do what needs to be done and give more than what i have but if you wanna hate go ahead because thats want i want so idc. USA
Just to give you an FYI...if you'de like to be a PJ than going to the academy probably isnt your best bet. Most PJ's are enlisted guys, and coming out of the academy you'll be a 2nd lt. Technically you could apply for a Combat Rescue Officer, but this guys are the best of the best so be prepared. You need to figure out what's more important to you. If you want PJ slot...o talk to a recruiter and start getting in the best shape of your life...and you might have a chance.
@hurd88 ik man ive talked to army and air force recruiter and they said the things i want i have to go in as enlisted but i really wanna be an officier tho so im just going to see whats best ill probly go in and work up to NCO
no ones going to read this but im working to get in the af academy and want to work up for pj because i dont wanna kill anyone but i mean i would if i needed to but i value others more than me, so i want to help anyone i can and rescue people and or ive always wanted to be a SEAL because i want to be the best of the best and if i can be that i know ill do good because ill do what needs to be done and give more than what i have but if you wanna hate go ahead because thats want i want so idc.

Somehing I'm curious about. I see quite a few different types of "operator" helmets in this video. I'd like to know why some of the PJs have different helmets from each other, even in the same picture. I'd also like to know the functional differences between these operator helmets (which look sorta like snowboarding helmets) and the "infantry" helmets that you see AF Security Forces, Marines, and Army infantry wearing.
@TorturedXeno I guess it comes down more to preference. PJ's and other special operators usually have a bit more leniency with their equipment so they technically could buy their own if wanted while conventional forces in most cases are limited to what is issued.
@swank227 its called high speed low drag a kevlar wont stop even a 45 acp round so operators like these guys or the SEALs or SOF-D dont wear them they are more worried about moving quick and not bumping there head than catching a round
@swank227 I figure its because the special forces want to be more light weight and mobile, also they don't care about less protection because they don't plan on getting hit.
@simplyskilled Disagree personally, but I understand why you may think so. Training is better but in combat anything can happen. Wrong place wrong time kind of thing. Either way complete respect to our Special Forces and those our U.S. allies. Hope to soon join Pararescue myself. P.S. Fuck the ignorant fucks on both sides thinking our countries are better than the other. United We Stand
@TorturedXeno, Most Special forces prefer light weight gear for mobility reasons, imagine operating on a patient while in mid flight and not being able to move your head. Pararescue, as well as any other special forces unit, requires use of peripheral vision these helmets are designed to maximise peripheral vision use and mobility, Different units have different helmets for different situations.
@TorturedXeno well idk y they wear different from each other but ik why they wear those helmets. its because its lighter than the ones the other branches wear and its more well protective.
The types of helmet is in most of the time the choice of pj himself, but also depends on what the situation is, like when they have to insert by parachute they will choose light weigt helmets with the option of wearing wide goggels in stead of a regular helmet wich isn't build to be weared when jumping out planes at high velocity and special 'pj' made helmets also used by seals,are build to be used with a special type of comm. system
I don't want to be some glorified 17 year old straight out of basic, I want to be someone who saves lives every time I head out, I want to be the first thing you see after you wake up from blacking out, I don't want to be famous, I don't want to be on the 6 o' clock news for doing something I love. I don't want to be pinned a hero, I just want fewer Military burials, and fewer men returning in a wooden box and a flag, and larger crowds WALKING off that C130. "That others may live." HOOYAH!!!
to anyone who's willing to listen, would becoming a ranger be a good precursor to pararescue? and also where did you find the picture at 8 seconds? thanks
@TheScotsIrish I think it'd do you well, but it wouldn't be TOO far from PJ training, I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd assume that that'd only train you for everything beyond INDOC, however it'd make INDOC less difficult. I think it'd be a difficult trail to to roll down on, good luck bro. I'm just training for the next year straight, and putting all I have into this.
when you type in Special Forces Diver,(Surviving The cut). is that what or somthing like Pararescue combat diver school is like or is th pj diver school differnt??
@blaze2020 If you want it, if you REALLY want it, more than the air in your lungs, and the beat of your heart. You'll make it happen. Remember everyday why you're there. "These things we do. That others may live." You're the guy making sure more men and women come home, and hug their spouse and kids, and not in a wooden box, and a flag. You will be that guy. The one that was there. The one they counted on. You have to give everything you've got then find more deep down to give. You can!
@CardShark1015 Thanks good luck to you too buddy I still have to go to MEPS soon idk when though then i will be in DEP then I go to BMT haha long process

Just to clear up any confusion due to some comments, I am not a PJ nor claim to be. Just what I want to do once I feel ready. To those of you that are, my respect and thanks
@austucker - Pedro 66 went down June 9th in Afghanistan. We lost 4 Airmen that day, and 23 days later, the pilot was taken off life support. One gunner made it home, 6 months later and is still in a wheel chair and the co-pilot, is sti suffering trauma and will never be the same. On board were PJ's and so
@swank227 Jason Cunningham was mortally wounded and fough to stay alive for 8hrs but died as soon as the hvac came the battel was known as roberts ridge
@theusafbrat45 Yea, I know the details. Just didn't want to go in depth. And yea its known as Roberts Ridge more, but its on the mountain Takur Ghar so its also known as that. Either way, no worries.
@swank227 yeah i just wanted to clear any misdemeanors if anyone was confused on the subject or got the jason cunningham storie wrong im not trying to be a dick like what i mean if the sounds like im being one im not so yeah sorry for this huge explanation
@swank227 theres more than the media lets you know about. SRA Benjamin White and Tsgt Michael Flores both Pj's died on 9 June 2010 while serving in afghanistan, google it if you want. PJ's are not about getting the spotlight which makes them even more badass......there was also 3 AF CCT on the helicopter crash a couple weeks ago but all the headlines say a bird full of SEALS crashed.
Wow Im lucky to workout out with a PJ a couple days per week, he comes to the crossfit I go to. Hes really quiet and not cocky at all during workouts.

I'm looking into this as a potential career if i can get selected and get through the training lol however when i asked my AFJROTC instructor about it he looked at me like I'm crazy and said "Do you know the average life expectancy?" so im wondering now. What IS the life expectancy? i couldn't find anything about it. I doubt it'll change my decision, im just curious thanks
@Lensk15 I cant give you any statistics but in my opinion no worse then any other combat unit. Combat is dangerous and its a dangerous profession no doubt. I wouldn't let it stop you if it really interests you. Either way good luck with your decision. Hope to be out there myself once my knee heals and can start training for it again.
@drothefuture I get what your trying to say. I wasnt sayin they are poorly trained. Just pointing out to him that regardless there are no guarantees in combat. It's dangerous no matter what you are.
@Lensk15 CH-53E is downed by enemy fire, 6 men onboard, 2 KIA, 2 WIA. Incoming fire in a 360 degree radius by 50-80 insurgents, no QRF in area. Objective: establish perimeter, secure wounded personnel provide security for incoming QRF. There's only 5 PJ's and a shitload of lead flying your way. Calculate the life expectancy.
@Lensk15 who cares what the life expectancy is? if your a PJ than you should be damn well willing to give your life for another comrade in a heart beat.....good luck with your decision and if you become a PJ...thank you for your service
@Lensk15 the only pararescue man to ever die died because of a training accident with his parachute.the life expectancy is very low they would never send you out if you weren't good enough that's why only 4 out of ten go through to be pjs
@Lensk15 Jrotc is a fucking joke I was in it for one yr and my Ms was dumbass who did nothing but desk work when he was in the force and he acted like he was a war hero. So dumb and so many nerds lol
@LGTXSHARK this man is very right read the the moto" It is my duty as a Pararescueman to save life and to aid the injured. I will be prepared at all times to perform my assigned duties quickly and efficiently, placing these duties before personal desires and comforts. These things I do, that others may live."
Look July 19 I will be on a plane to Texas for Lackland AFB for basic training. After that i am going to PJ Selection to be a PJ. Their job description entails going behind enemy lines to do (CSAR) Combat Search and Rescue they are part of the Special Operations Task Force just like Rangers SEALS and Delta
@amdsoccer94 Ha, kinda a different job entirely, but all good. As far as medics, I agree. Pararescue go when theres nobody else, not at the first shot fired. :)
this is all i want to do with my life, im a sophmore in highschool and i am gonna get there..it is going to happen

do not go to college if you want to be a pj
pj's that are officers have an entirely different job
they plan the rescue missions pj's go on, though they go through the same training they are rarely used on missions
I would suggest enlisting directly out of high school (dont forget to spend senior year training)
later on become an officer after obtaining a degree while enlisted
that is my plan as I am a senior in high school

@austucker - Pedro 66 went down June 9th in Afghanistan. We lost 4 Airmen that day, and 23 days later, the pilot was taken off life support. One gunner made it home, 6 months later and is still in a wheel chair and the co-pilot, is sti suffering trauma and will never be the same. On board were PJ's and so

Mcgigglepies14 7 months ago
@swank227 theres more than the media lets you know about. SRA Benjamin White and Tsgt Michael Flores both Pj's died on 9 June 2010 while serving in afghanistan, google it if you want. PJ's are not about getting the spotlight which makes them even more badass......there was also 3 AF CCT on the helicopter crash a couple weeks ago but all the headlines say a bird full of SEALS crashed.

I'm looking into this as a potential career if i can get selected and get through the training lol however when i asked my AFJROTC instructor about it he looked at me like I'm crazy and said "Do you know the average life expectancy?" so im wondering now. What IS the life expectancy? i couldn't find anything about it. I doubt it'll change my decision, im just curious thanks
Lensk15 1 year ago
@Lensk15 I cant give you any statistics but in my opinion no worse then any other combat unit. Combat is dangerous and its a dangerous profession no doubt. I wouldn't let it stop you if it really interests you. Either way good luck with your decision. Hope to be out there myself once my knee heals and can start training for it again.

@Lensk15 CH-53E is downed by enemy fire, 6 men onboard, 2 KIA, 2 WIA. Incoming fire in a 360 degree radius by 50-80 insurgents, no QRF in area. Objective: establish perimeter, secure wounded personnel provide security for incoming QRF. There's only 5 PJ's and a shitload of lead flying your way. Calculate the life expectancy.
