Surviving the Cut - US Air Force Pararescue - Part 2

[LongIslandCQB]

How old is this documentary? I haven't seen soldiers use PASGT helmets for a while.

[MrMattg774]

you have rendering issues

[PpTheMovie]

what i wonder, is when if someone needs to take a shit?

[ULPaperboy]

@PpTheMovie

Well... Assuming their getting shouted at and constantly stressed, I would say that their sympathetic systems are in overdrive, and thus, parasympathetic innervation of gut movement and sphincter relaxation is not active. Having said that, the instructors probably wouldn't let you -- then again, you could always pissed them off by shitting in their pool =P

[DEUHDCEwh]

So how do these instructors become instructors? Do they pass the Pararescue Training Course then opt to become an instructor versus getting out and experiencing what they have trained to do?

[ASIANBOYZPRODUCTION]

@DEUHDCEwh they will be evaluated and the first priorities are the ones w/ the highest grades and experience.

[Boneless610]

@DEUHDCEwh usually in most cases they have to serve for several years and then they get that option, where as SERE Instructors HAVE to Instruct for 2 years after graduating before they can actually get out and do the job they trained for...

[Brooklyn1530]

"MARINE CORPS!!!"

[liaabalo]

1:02 what does he say "seth bro???"

[s7427beast]

At 6:58 that guy is not an Airmen! He is an Army Lieutenant wearing the old camouflage uniform! What's an "Army" Lt. doing at an Air Force Pararescue course?

[Ricepatty06]

@s7427beast hes not an army Lt., hes an USAF Lt wearing BDUs which were authorized until November 1st. of this year.

poop



[MrLaedis]

Pararescuers are the most in demand job in the Air Force, and they turn down people who can put through all that? Tell me when that is supposed to make sense.

[BigBaze27]

@MrLaedis Because they don't want numbers, they want the best of the best.

[gizmofsu]

@MrLaedis  I'm not sure even you understand your question.

[theyarecomeing]

damnn this should be me soon im not gonna give up i love my country nd ppl

[warriorharris1208]

Hey did I hear it right, somebody shouted marine corps at 5:54??

[coolerthanicecream1]

hmm second thoughts! ha these looks so intense but i wont wimp out

[WilliamAKilpatrick]

What 2 douchebags disliked this?



[VGalileoV]

@WilliamAKilpatrick The two fat kids sitting at home with crushed dreams .

[drothefuture]

It doesn't matter what we say. PJs and CCT are saying HOOYA and the TACPs get HUA

[ARMA365]

[Grislythrone]

@ARMA365 i heard it to hahahaha

[iNF4mOuSxMiKE]

@ARMA365 lmfao i played it back 3x at 5:55 ... yeah one of them deff. says Marine Core hahaha thats hilarious.

[ARMA365]

@iNF4mOuSxMiKE i know right!

[mexijew]

@ARMA365 they said "Fuck Marine Core" to motivate themselves lol

[ARMA365]

@mexijew bullshit...marines aint got shit on airforce!

[mexijew]

@ARMA365 I believe at this point in Special Ops any branch can be as tough as can be. Preference is subjective. so there.

[ARMA365]

@mexijew whatever

[arewhyayeenn]

@ARMA365 an instructor was saying "what are you waiting for?" to the guy on the right.

[masdav94]

@arewhyayeenn No way, that was definitely 'Marine CORPS'

[arewhyayeenn]

@masdav94 That is so ridiculous I'm not even going to get into it with you.

[leeshizzle429]

@ARMA365 its corps

[ARMA365]

@leeshizzle429 i know smart ass!

[leeshizzle429]

@ARMA365 so why did you say core?...

[ARMA365]

@leeshizzle429 DUDE PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP CANT YOU FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO ARGUE ABOUT!!?!?!?!!!

[leeshizzle429]

@ARMA365 nope

[angryblackops1]

@ARMA365 your not crazy

[Wowblogger]

@ARMA365 No he said "what are you waiting for?"

[windowfloor2345342]

@ARMA365 He said 3 4 for thre cadence

[CadetClarke]

@ARMA365 I heard it too...

[MicOfficialYT]

@ARMA365 It's actually Marine CORPS, lol, and yeah it does sound like that xD

[ARMA365]

@MicOfficialYT xD

[kk456128]

@ARMA365 breathe more?



[Psychocide]

Do you have that episode with the 160th? I would like to see that.

[SCGmovies]

no matter how much cardio i train up, i have a really hard time holding breath under water, any suggestions? Should i just try not holding so much oxygen?

[piratephil2]

I think that only other operators who've been there will understand that. 

[piratephil2]

What most people don't understand about selection courses is that they are all about your team and the small victories that you guys have together. Shit like yelling "Marine Corp" is just a way of separating your team from the instructors through humor. A team in selection is not a team until they learn how to slack as a team. What I mean is when a team learns how to get stuff over on the instructors, that is when they start pulling each other through and those are the dudes to operate with.

[kialn]

WATCH THIS i couldn't beleive the trainging they had to go through! Surviving the Cut - Special Forces Diver - Part 1 This air one is tough too

[cdhrtsc]

Oh yeah, you want to be a cone?

[CardShark1015]

@soccerdude41993 Same here, I've been training my ass off, and will continue to do so for the next year, then it's basic, then PAST, then INDOC. I want this more than the air in my lungs. I want to be a PJ, I NEED to be a PJ. HOOYAH!

[THEOMGProduction]

Fuck doing Mouth to mouth, Im gonna hit you in the face

[AcezYinYang]

@soccerdude41993 good luck bro..

[MrJmind]

I'm just curious...why does one PJ have a Vietnam-era M1 helmet on his head? I'm just wondering

[fmcc0904]

@MrJmind Schools tend to use older equipment like helmets, weapons, etc when possible. I had a Vietnam-era M16 (not M16A1, but original M16 with Safe, Semi, Auto) issued to me at one point in AIT.

[MrJmind]

@fmcc0904 Ah, thanks so much!

[CardShark1015]

@fmcc0904 Also, the original M16's were much heavier than the newer ones, they become weights.

[fmcc0904]

@CardShark1015 I didn't notice much of a weight difference between the M16 and and the A2 or later models. Now, the M4? Yes, much lighter, but that's because it's a carbine and not a full-sized assault rifle.

[CardShark1015]

@fmcc0904 My dad and I talked about this, he said because it's heavier. Did you become a PJ?

[fmcc0904]

@CardShark1015 Nope, I was not a PJ. But I was just saying that old-issue items turn up in military schools. And I didn't personally feel any difference between the 60s-era M16 I was issued at one point and the M16A2 or M4 I used later.

[fmcc0904]

@CardShark1015 Correction...sorry, I'm tired. Yeah, like I said before, the M4 felt lighter, but it's a smaller weapon. I couldn't tell the difference between the M16 and A2, though, other than the 16 having "Auto" instead of "Burst" and the handguards being a different style. There seems to be more metal to the original 16, though, so it could be a few pounds heavier...I didn't really notice.

[IamMaiC]

@fmcc0904 can i ask how did you know that is was from vietnam? I went to basic in 1989 and I had the same type weapon. vietnam era M-16's did not have a flash surpressor, towards the end of the war they did, I also had a weapon that had safe semi and auto also.

[fmcc0904]

@IamMaiC That handguards, lack of flash suppressor, and overall condition of the weapon made it pretty obvious. That and the armorer and his records showed the age of the weapon. It was first issued in 1971.

[IamMaiC]

@fmcc0904 possible training weapon? 

[fmcc0904]

@IamMaiC Was the one I used in my last FTX during AIT.

[THEOMGProduction]

@MrJmind Surplus equipt.

[GAMEDUDE43]

someone yelled marine corps at 5:55. haha

[jplayaj1983]

@GAMEDUDE43 HAHAHA

[sin7wu]

did someone yell out Marine Corps?

[fmcc0904]

@soccerdude41993 You go! That drive is sorely needed.

[xxD1RTYxB1RDxx]

the buddy breathing part made me laugh

[1123elemental]

why do all idiots like to say the training they do is nothing have u done it kid..no then do us all a favor and stfu

[xxD1RTYxB1RDxx]

@1123elemental they only do it to feel good about themsleves on youtube lmao, they can say this looks easy all they want, but we all fucking know this shit is hell

[akaQ9]

just like anything in the media... don't judge the hardness because of what you see in tv or movie. this is only the "show" version, people wouldn't know how hard exactly this is until you go through it... same with the Seals, same with Combat Control, and the same with any spec ops out there... there's a reason why there's high percentage of drop outs and only very low pass rate. Just appreciate these airmen for what they do, because of them, alot of people are alive today.

[dogdylan11]

So this was my uncles training.It's pure hell

[strent1122]

Hell week for SEALs is way worse. This does not even compare.

[Zigster39]

@strent1122 Except for the fact that this is only the first nine weeks of PJ training, of which there are two years. Wikipediaing these guys is probably the least you could do; they're fucking rad.

Also there are around three thousand active Navy SEALs. There are only three hundred Pararescuerers.

[windowfloor2345342]

@Zigster39 I agree but there are 10 odd groups of SEALs

[PGarcia410]

@strent1122 And I imagine you speak from your personal experience as a SEAL.

[strent1122]

@PGarcia410 no, i am not a SEAL. But two of my friends are, one lost a leg in Afghanistan. Im Canadian, and a part of CSOR, (Canadian Special Operations Regiment). its a special forces battalion under the command of CANSOFCOM. the best comparison for you Americans in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

[USAFxL3G1TX]

@strent1122 god i hate ignorant canadians who think they are the most elite top shit. you cant do this, marine scout sniper, marine recon, green berets, or navy seals. please upload a video of you proving me wrong and doin some of this training.

[fmcc0904]

@PGarcia410 Don't mind him. He fails to realize that even your base-level SOF isn't trained on as many varying specialties as just one PJ. As with any installment of this program, the episode was a tiny snippet of the entire training required by whichever unit was featured. While, yes, any specialized unit can theoretically be called in to perform SAR ops, it is the AF Pararescueman's primary function. And it happens to be one of the most difficult training regimens period.

[TannerDanger]

@strent1122 PJ's literally go through the same difficulty of training as SEALS do, only they also go through a 14 week academic medical course where they become qualified as Emergency Medical Technicians, making their course technically harder than SEALs.

[believethehyp3]

@strent1122 this is a 9 week long hell week dude

[xCallingInSilent]

I have the pleasure of working with these fellas. Being a CSAR Loadmaster on the HC-130P I get to kick their asses out of a perfectly good airplane. They're a real trip, trust me.

[SeajackNSCC]

As soon as you start to think, "I could probably do this" while sitting on your ass in front of your computer, you become wrong. Don't be wrong.

[imsunshinne]

thanks f0r putting this up i enj0yed.

[cesarcroc]

the guy T 4:02 WAS LIKE WTF IS HAPENING??/

[twitch9999999]

Even wingnuts shout Marine Corps when they exercise...I never knew that lol...at least they know who to look up to when they PT. Also I wonder why they have a ninety percent drop rate. Not to be mean but this looks like one of the easier "Surviving the Cut" courses.

[Soxfan72295]

@twitch9999999 highest dropout rate becuase it is the longest training course

[dandoosh90]

I have so much respect for the guys willing to put up with this shit for weeks on end. I watched a Mogadishu mile and other excersises from the mock airbase at medina (Security Forces training area), and I really felt bad for them. HUA GREEN FEET!!!

[ScarriorIII]

I've dealt with those dummies before, and they intentionally make them weigh extra, such as 200 lbs. When you have a wounded man, his entire body will be relaxed, making him feel heavier.

[mexijew]

how much does a dummy weight, 150 lbs?

[BiohazardDingleberry]

@mexijew Did you even watch the video or do you not pay attention?

[mexijew]

@BiohazardDingleberry I typed the questions as I was watching. He said 200 lbs.

You could've just answered the questions, but you chose to be a dumbass and answer my question with another question. Asswipe

[mphof74]

@mexijew 165.5 lbs + wet cloths = 180

[mexijew]

@mphof74 7:40 "Each man must carry a 200 lb dummy"

[mphof74]

@mexijew they exaggerate dude its 180

[ThReAsHeR007]

Anyone else see the guy in BDU's with the 2nd Lieutenants rank?

[mexijew]

"You either pass or you DIE" haha

[mexijew]

Candidate:"What happened Sargaent?"

Sargaent: "You just blacked out"

Candidate: (in Silence)"Damn it"

lol

[WR3STL3]

I want to be part of pararescue and will talk to a recruiter.

any suggestions?

[10evilmonkey01]

@ka24d3 thanks you too!

[10evilmonkey01]

@ka24d3 yea dude i know whats up im just starting with 3 and increasing one mile every 3 weeks to a month. im not leaving tilll at least jan 2012. so im goin to be good to go by then.

[10evilmonkey01]

@ka24d3 im getting there im runing 3 miles a day and i landscape so i should be ready by leave date

[10evilmonkey01]

i went to a airforce recriuter this week and he was pushing pararescue on me. this vid motivats me to sign up

[Klimessss]

Did the narrator really say "Black Hawk Down?"....

[saylevie2010]

@Klimessss Yes, the movie was based on true events.

[pinche1994]

@Klimessss yeah

[TheBassgorilla]

we had a pj instructor come to our dep for a pt thing.. he did a workout that took me 40 minutes in 20.. these guys are machines.

[QuinlanRanger]

I'm surprised that guy didn't get busted by the Sarge for yelling out "Marine Corps!"

[350z350zify]

thanks for all these awesome stc videos (:

[mikems666]

why is it that the USAF seem kind of un organized with equipment, so far i've seen 3 types of BDU's 2 types of helmets, and a few different types of M-16's

[beallman64]

@mikems666 This is trainings stuff, they probrably aren't worried about replaceable parts for props.

[mikems666]

@beallman64 true..

[fmcc0904]

@DylanRWirtz Not a problem. Glad to be helpful, despite the occasional trolling and complaints about quality (which I had no control over...putting them up HQ would have owned my connection and taken forever). And you are correct. One of the few new Discovery programs I really enjoyed.

[fmcc0904]

@DylanRWirtz I mentioned both earlier. That was likely buried beneath the trolling of idiots.

[SharpShots2]

thanks for putting this up.

I'm Cadet Airman. Rovic A.

[fmcc0904]

@SharpShots2 No big deal. Best of luck in your career!

[manutdfaithfulr10]

@fmcc0904 are you in the USAF?

[fmcc0904]

@manutdfaithfulr10 No. I was U.S. Army.

[severaldarkshadows]

@fmcc0904 How is that? I'm considering joining and I need some people with experience to help persuade me haha

[Terminxman]

@SharpShots2 Mother of god..

[ARMA365]

@SharpShots2 army says hooah marines say oorah..what does the airforce say please someone tell me :'(

[TheWomboCombo]

Isnt this just INDOC?

[Arodblade]

Holy $&%# did you see the size of that pool? It's like half a football field for f***s sake.

[Arodblade]

@Arodblade NEVERMIND it looks a hell of a lot longer than that!

[mexijew]

This is hardcore! From 125 to nearly 20 Airmen. Undoubted best of the best...

[Arbin321]

Thanks man for posting this up... i was really interested in joing the air force and doing pararescue... but HOLY @#$% THIS IS HARD AS FOOK!!!!

[123localoca1]

They strong and sexy

[TheM1Master]

That "Marine Corps!" made me laugh

[fmcc0904]

@TheM1Master Well, PJs can technically say that if they wish...Navy SAR ("Frog Men") are typically slower, as they have to be deployed from a helo launched from a carrier, and the extraction site may be out of range for such an op. But, with a C130 or similar aircraft from a land-based installation...in the event of beached troops or shot-down Naval Aviators (both of which can include Marines), PJs tend to arrive first. CCTs and SFs also credit the AF. And this is from prior-service US Army.

[TheM1Master]

@fmcc0904 Thanks for the description, that makes sense

[EdgewaterUSMCJROTC]

@TheM1Master ye i wonder who yell that :D 

[winemkr]

@TheM1Master

I'm a former Marine who is now a former PJ.

I was punished for yelling the Marine Corps war cry when I fell off an eighty foot cliff .

That was thirty years ago.

We all paid in different ways for my war cry and it was a positive learning experience, that included the instructors.

[TheM1Master]

@winemkr How did you survive an eighty-foot fall?

[JEF2293]

@winemkr I'm currently in the Marines and want to become a PJ.

I'd like to some day get yelled at for being a former-Marine as I go through PJ Indoc.

It'd be great to get a conditional release from the Marine Corps to get out early and go become a PJ. Otherwise I'll have to wait for my End of Active Service. JCF

[CadetClarke]

@TheM1Master when does someone say that?

[CadetClarke]

@TheM1Master when does someone say that?

[TheM1Master]

@CadetClarke When the students are too slow getting dressed, so when they start doing PT, someone says, "Marine Corps"

[stephietw]

@TheM1Master

is that military humor? i dont get it...

[TheM1Master]

@stephietw I don't think it would be humor, I have no idea why they would say that

[DutchPetriot]

5:47 marine corps? wtf?

[CaptainAmerica322]

@DutchPetriot

Thats what it sounded like. And if it was that, it also sounded slightly sarcastic. Probably some sort of mocking

[danielaaabbbbcd]

and jhere i am eating KFC.

[lechodemeista]

thank you so much man for putting this up

[fmcc0904]

@lechodemeista No problem. Glad people like them. Discovery doesn't do very well at providing them on-demand, and their site is usually slow.

[sniperRobert]

5:55 lol did some one just said "Marine Corps"?

[DoorGunner5]

@sniperRobert whahaha what the fuck xD
