God Bless the PJs! They make all Airmen proud to wear blue.

I think this might be on the same caliber as SEAL training. If not very close

@darkprecurser Holy hell, that it awesome haha I respect anyone who can do that!

[darkprecurser]

@FullyNimble Yeah man part of the training used to be an alpine goat with up to 3 bullet wounds and you had to secure it and take it on a 15 mile hump keep it alive the whole way and evade opposition XD

Even SOCOM needs 911 baby.

@SEALHopeful28 Its harder than SEAL training in my opinion. Not only is it equally if not more physically challenging, but also they have to be pretty much doctors.

I'm planing on being an Air Force fighter pilot. I feel safe knowing that the PJ's will move heaven and earth and save my bacon or die trying if I have to eject in enemy territory.

@TheElCaminoMan2010 I think BUDS has a similar exercise, something to do with a candidate's confidence under water. I've seen it in an old Discover channel program about prospective SEALs.
