PJHeaven - Pararescuemen embrace Alaska's search and rescue mission

Pararescuemen are fearless, heroic and highly trained and versatile personnel recovery specialists who will do whatever it takes to save a person's life. These courageous Airmen are trained in emergency medical tactics as well as combat and survival skills to complete the most extreme rescue missions across the world.

They not only have a taste for danger but also the skill set to parachute, scuba dive, rock climb or even snowmobile into hostile territory to get a wounded Airman out. To be on call 24 hours a day, the life of a pararescueman is not just a career—it's a higher calling.
