@frankrojas09 theres no comparison.i was a soldier first then i became an airman.id rather have air force pjs tacp anyday over a seal or army special forces next to me.ive witnessed the training and the actual actions in combat theres just no comparison.ill be honest when i was in the army i thought the air force was a bunch of pussies until i became a PJ in 2006.

@100PercentOJ because its too much.why dont you try combat air controlling and being a weatherman at the same time while youre being shot at.it doesnt work.if it did we wouldnt have swots.

@GUMMYBEAYUH wow someone else who knows what the f the deal is i thought youtube commentators were a bunch of wannabe retards.

@n3gr0amigo1 theres no difference all the training is the same for officers and enlisted.the only difference is that when youre done training the one with the commision is an officer and a cro.that just means that youre in a leadership role youre still a pj!youre just an officer.

[THEFUTURECCT]

@n3gr0amigo1 thats not completely correct. combat rescue officers go on almost every mission with theur pj's. yes they make sure they are trained and supplied but they are always the call just as their enlisted counterparts are. when a CRO reaches the rank of major he will then have more f a administrative role because they are getting older and someone must run the wing. so in conclusion CRO's do the same thing as a PJ, just with more responsibility and more leadership roles.

@onemancomedy Just a heads up, I spoke with an Air Force recruiter and he said that Pararescue is enlisted only, and the officer version is called Combat Rescue Officer, and that it is mostly a desk job and you are in charge of the PJ's but you mainly make sure they are correctly supplied, getting the right training etc.

@GUMMYBEAYUH @100PercentOJ FYI- Often you will find individual SOWTs & CCTs attached to other SOF. SOWT has recently been deployed with SF ODAs, & MARSOC units. The CCT is with the team to provide Ground-Air-Interface. The CCT is busy directing AT/CAS, meanwhile a Wx system suddenly approaches & a huge issue arises. Now it's up to the SOWT to determine how long this system will last, where breaks will occur, & to help figure out a clear route for continued support. This happened in OEF & OIF.

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

@GUMMYBEAYUH @100PercentOJ Yes, btw some of their abilities do overlap, but CCTs can only provide limited Wx observations, while SOWTs can only provide a basic level of air control. These men do go through most of the same training, but the big difference is their trade. The tradecraft of either takes a very long time to master, & they are both top-notch specialists who completely master their respective fields.

@GUMMYBEAYUH @100PercentOJ SOWTs are also in charge of maintaining emplaced sensor platforms in remote locations, & training local assets to take & report their own readings as a network. An entire SOWT can literally carry suitcases full of their own equipment, as a CCT brings along their own too. Look at it this way as well, CCT combined with SOWT can run an entire airfield together as a combined unit, with CCT acting as the Tower, & SOWT the Met Office.

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

@GUMMYBEAYUH @100PercentOJ Third, SOWTs don't just forecast the Wx (Both terrestrial & space based (eg, Geomagnetic storms that can trash comm & guidance systems)), they also provide ER, which covers everything from (But not limited to) pinpointing river crossings, to flood predictions, avalanche threats, near-shore hydrographic data (eg, Tides, fog banks, storm /wind patterns), determining roadway/trail capacity for upcoming elements, & noting geographic features & their tactical importance.
