Being a PJ ain’t no joke. I have so much respect for them. They should get as much recognition as SEALs too.

I’m currently studying for my GED to get into the Air Force and become a PJ. I have not underestimated this job and have full disclosure that this is one of the most mentally and physically demanding jobs in the military. I will get there one day, and if I don’t make it at least I can say that I tried !!!

PJs are very underrated...you know how capable PJs are when you see what they do...these guys are whom the SEALS, Rangers and Deltas call for help when they f**ed up...Airmen are often trolled. But they have the highest discipline.

I met a couple of PJs once. It was like seeing a rock star, because you rarely see them. Talk about down-to-earth guys.

I worked medical materiel in the Air Force and the PJ's would come in to order supplies and no questions asked they wanted it they got it, very cool calm group of men!

my uncle was Pararescue and served in Vietnam, he is no longer with us but never forgotten.

If you say you're selfless, indomitable, strong, sharp, fearless, and humble, you're probably lying. But if you wanna prove you're all of those things, boy do these folks have a challenge for you. Good luck!

PJs are amazing, they can do everything

This is straight up the ultimate navy seal but better because your job is to save lives in a battle field.

[Stasiaa]

I think it’s incredible what these men do. I wanted to do this in the past but I realized I couldn’t because I’m a woman but still a huge props to these people ❤

[robmills]

The best! The bravest! And few no anything about them! 👍👍❤️❤️

[HiddenMoto]

I can’t wait for the chance to be one of them 13 now and can’t wait until I’m 17!

[AdamWorthington]

It's humbling to watch and listen to these men. Such incredible people, whom I will forever have immense respect for. Yah bless you all.

[bakedcookiezzz]

I had the courage to detox to join the navy, but seeing my potential from exercising I have the heart to try to be a PJ studying my asvab currently, god bliss n god speed

[CPackwood]

God grant them all incredible wisdom & knowledge for such an incredible mission.

There’s literally 140-200 Air Force PJs, the pipeline is very strict and there’s a 99% chance you won’t get a slot. Not bc you aren’t physically or mentally qualified, but because their pipeline is already full.

“They wanna make sure they don’t make the same mistake twice… But they do happen a lot especially with the newer guys. We get new guys on the team who never seem to have worked before and we’re able to now somewhat mentor them into getting better.”
