U.S. Air Force Pararescue Training | Pararescuemen PJ
Pararescuemen provide emergency and life-saving services for thousand missions the U.S. military performs and frequently deploy with U.S. Navy SEALs and U.S. Army Special Forces. Their motto "That Others May Live" reaffirms the pararescueman's commitment to saving lives. The process of becoming a "PJ" is known informally as "Superman School". Almost two years long, it's among the longest special operations training courses in the world.

Imagine a team where each member could function like a NP in a hospital emergency room, swim like a SEAL, jump like the best at Fort Bragg, breach like SWAT, and function in the field like Rangers. These guys are amazing.

I don’t throw around the word hero very often as I generally think military worship is fucking stupid, but the PJs are without doubt some of the most heroic men in any armed force. A large proportion of their operations involve rescuing civilians from active firefights. That level of bravery to save life is inspirational. It’s really a massive shame these guys don’t have the same level of recognition as many other special operation units in the US.

I don’t know if selection is the same or not, but when I was in basic in 1980, our TI let us know that PJs would hold a tryout the following weekend. We were then marched to a classroom after breakfast to learn about pararescue. I and a buddy were the only two to go to the tryouts. We did the run (a couple miles, IIRC) and the obstacle course (much like the CPAT for firefighters, but a bit more difficult). We then had to go through swimming trials. I’m an earth sign and you know what happens when earth and water mix: you get mud. Needless to say, I got passed over for PJs. I still had my AFSC 571x0 and would go on to a wonderful time as a firefighter and earning my NREMT-P.

PJs don't get hardly any of the recognition they deserve. No heroism exceeds the level of putting yourself in danger to save others.

The second day of BMT, we were taken to a room and were given a presentation on becoming PJ's. After a short film was over, a Sargent asked "If anyone is interested in becoming a PJ, please stand up". About a third of the room stood up. Sargent looked around the room a bit, then said, "If you want to be a PJ, you can not be afraid of heights, have to be able to swim one mile, can't wear corrective lenses and have to have an ASVAB score over (whatever it was, I forget). The entire room sat back down. Sargent picked up his clipboard and just walked out. We found out later, that they get two or three a month who can qualify.
