United States Air Force Pararescue - Music Video

[iurmantoday]

To anyone wanting to do this do circut traning I made the mistake of doing my worlouts all the same day and not. Right after another trust me you want to be used to going hard

[OopsMadeYaLook]

I'm only 16 and have put some serious thought into military life style. I set my goal in life, becoming a PJ or Combat Control. Hope i can achieve. These men put their lives at risk to save other lives. So much respect to them

[KJdPJ]

Nice video. Some good footage. Just FYI, Pararescue is all one word and should always be capitilized.  It was two words back in the late 40's when there were Para doctors, but not anymore. Good luck to you. My advice: Don't quit ... ever.

[Spygate32]

alright you do not have to be an officer to do this. and its way harder than you can imagine so if you want to do it i would runnn alot im talkin 5 miles 3 times a week swim even more.. and to pretty much be prepared for the hardest thing of your life



[Scracht66]

name of the song?!

[USMilitaryVideos]

@Scracht66 The song is titled "Favorite Disease" by Thousand Foot Krutch.

[TheNawaf001]

and ppl have the audacity to talk about the air force..hmm

[ccbbq1974]

High speed, Low drag!

[masterdanish123]

The one bad thing about PJ is the training, cutting grass with safety scissors, carrying a telephone pole or a huge rope everywhere.

[duck4STDS]

@sagemovieproductions True but i didnt mean like O-1 O-2 and O-3's i meant like Lt. Col and Col.

[WR3STL3]

Im planning to become a pararescue jumper.

Do i need to be an officer before joining or can i join and train right out of high school?

[USMilitaryVideos]

@WR3STL3 No you can join right after you finish high school, and let me give you some advice, don't listen to these people here on YouTube. When you want to join go talk with an Air Force recruiter for a few minutes, and make sure he know just what you want to do in the Air Force.

[WR3STL3]

@USMilitaryVideos Ok thanks, Just one more question.

When do i need to prepare for training? Like a year in advance? I'm in good shape from wrestling but the swimming is the big question.

[Nicdaneill]

@USMilitaryVideos Can i go to the Air Force Academy and then become a pararescue jumper or do I have to enlist?

[USMilitaryVideos]

@Nicdaneill I Don't see why not. But before you do anything, take the time to talk with an Air Force recruiter. It is a recruiters job to bring in new recruits. You can also go to their website and ask a recruiter from there.

[USMilitaryVideos]

@WR3STL3 Well as soon as possible is for the best, if your high school has a swim team try joining that, Polo even works.

[WR3STL3]

@USMilitaryVideos ok, thanks

[duck4STDS]

@WR3STL3 you cant be a field pararescueman as an officer. you can only have a desk job for planning the operations for pararescue. what you do is go talk to a recruiter near by and also you go to basic training first then to the pararescue selection school (it think)

[WR3STL3]

@duck4STDS ok thank you

[SAGEmovieproductions]

@duck4STDS

Combat Rescue Officers (The officer counterpart of Pararescuemen) do go out into the field with the enlisted PJs. They also go through the same pipeline plus some additional training. Though they are responsible for getting equipment and training for the enlisted PJs, I don't imagine much of their mission-planning is a desk job, because, due to the unpredictable nature of their missions, a lot of the planning needs to be done on the spot.

[THEOMGProduction]

@WR3STL3

Right out of HIghschool, But i have some advice. Train TRAIN TRAIN before you sign up. Youre looking at one of the most difficult jobs out there, And god knows we need them but people cant survive the cut.

[deltaecho1]

what happened at 2:34? Looks like they were playing football with that tackle.

[beasley1987]

probably the best job in the military

[USMilitaryVideos]

@beasley1987 Saving lives what could be better?

[MrRicosico12]

@USMilitaryVideos How long is the training to be a PJ

[USMilitaryVideos]

@MrRicosico12 About 19 months in all.

[TheGnomelandSecurity]

@USMilitaryVideos Being the pilot

[drothefuture]

Having this way of life is apart of my dreams every night. I train everyday either running, swimming, calisthenics, or all of the above. I will not tire. I will not falter. I wait for the day I wear the PJ badge.

[thatboyjeff]

These guys are fucking BADASSES. Period.

[AzonaCATS10]

Does anybody know if Officers can become PJ's? If i dont become a pilot then I want to save them and others!

[stuuffie]

@AzonaCATS10 i think you can but instead of pararescueman your called something else (combat rescue officer i think).

[AzonaCATS10]

@stuuffie I had some guy on the Air Force website tell me you couldn't but im going to ask my commander at ROTC.

[stuuffie]

@AzonaCATS10 oh, maybe not, im just going by what i googled ha. It might be a slightly different job but i think its around the same thing.

[AzonaCATS10]

@stuuffie Lol well either way thank you, I will look into that. Hopefully I will get the pilot slot though

[charcoalc5]

@AzonaCATS10 officers are combat rescue officers. they lead the pjs i think

[sstanfield100]

can PJs be officers and still go into combat?

[ElrichvRawlins]

Practice PAST tomorrow at Travis AFB. Stoked!

[bfmv3232]

I'm goin in the airforce in a few months hope I get the pj job. I wanna see how hard and vigorous they train amd to learn my real strengths and what I can push my body to do just a very riskfull job

[mykaleidoscopes]

damn at 00.19 did the last one miss the rope it looks like he fell

[seairland312]

@mykaleidoscopes Pararescuemen don't fall.

[zephyr141]

damn...i really hoped that wasn't the case. so i guess with something that important damaged i wouldn't be much use in the military. haha. oh well. time to study and hope i get good grades in my engineering courses.

[zephyr141]

there's one burning question i have for any PJ who reads this...does the military accept you if you have eye problems? not just glasses but have had surgery on ur eye. will that restrict a person from actually becoming a PJ?

[mroboubiat]

@zephyr141

No surgery, ever.

[mypalAbra]

one of my friends has glasses, don't know if he's had any surgery tho but i think he has

[Spygate32]

i saw a pj come out of a dinning facility a few days ago and everyone got out of his way we have a great deal of respect 4 these men i know how hard it must b 2 b in tech school 4 over a year and i bitch cuz im in 15 weeks

[GoFUCKyaSELF2Times]

Where at?

[Spygate32]

[GoFUCKyaSELF2Times]

[El3m3ntHK]

[aaronc313]

Wow awesome video, i have madd respect for PJs, and THANK YOU to any of them that are reading this right now.

[Aycock51]

Im taking my asvab this coming up monday im goin to be a pj i cant wait its freaking crazy how much i think/want to do this...you know

[tman0941]

i cant wait...im goin for pj right now...i took my asvab yesterday and got a good score..up next, the PAST test...then off to basic!

[sockless67]

This looks like one of the most fun jobs in the world. Sadly (and happily in some ways) I don't live in the USA and we don't have anything like this in New Zealand.

[jackocelot22]

i understand what you mean by that i love my country but my goverment is F up and i thought new zealand had their own type of search and rescue group ?

[sockless67]

Na man, we just have the SAS which do everything, but they don't jump out of helicopters much.

[freakybauernhof]

@sockless67 nzsas ^^ not similar to pararescue but one of the coolest units

[lunacris40]

One of my dreams is to be a ParaRescueman. I have always admired and respected them. My uncle was in CSAR and I was always fascinated by his job and how he risked his life to get others out with theirs.

If I become ( correction, WHEN) I become one will probably be the proudest day of my life. A life where I can possibly save hundreds, or thousands of others is a life well lived for me, no matter the risk .

[SamuraiX7]

If I ever do become a pilot one day and I become downed and stranded in a hostile area I sure do hope to see you guys really REALLY soon!

I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit to become a PJ!

[BoiseBroker]

My son is joining the Air Force and being accepted into Para Rescue is his main goal and objective. 70 percent fail the first boot camp and 90 percent fail along the way. The remaining 10 percent live the saying "That others may live!"

[espanto28]

can you become a PJ if you join another branch of the military. I know for the SEALS if you are in the marines you can join same goes for some other Special Forces units. is this true for PJs?

[FitzMurda508]

probably not. i joined the air force and am going into pararesecue. the reason is because the marines are a sub group of the navy. The marines take their medics from the navy. you can still be a PJ in the Air force reserves or air guard as well.

[lukesimianer]

not usually, you would have to re-enlist

[jackl45]

thanks!

[jackl45]

i wana be a PJ when i grow up

[seascapejc]

Hope my son is a Para Rescue Jumper someday.

Great video!

[seascapejc]

Love it! Heros!!!!

Who is the band?

[USMilitaryVideos]

Thousand Foot Crutch

[Ipickmynosesometimes]

hey man, if your in the military, can you message me on what do i have to do to become a PJ?

[Vantzyourule]

@Ipickmynosesometimes Do the same thing I did when i got in.

Go to your recruiter , Ask for the Pararescue Apprentice ( if enlisting ) , And pray to whoever it is you pray to that you pass the PFT for PJ Indoc. Then pray again that you finish PJ Indoc.

I recycled twice.

[badboymitra]

Nice video man!!

[stomponyoshi]

just amazing..
