Recently started my journey with the recruiter and working towards development sessions. I listen to y'all on my work commute (2 hours round trip). Y'all are phenomenal. Keep it coming!
Aaron at 23:16 is like: weird voice acting -> looking ready to murder -> fluffy, in under 10 seconds flat, lol. Except it's always like that. Aaron's chaos factor is off the charts.
I just want to say that you did a great job covering this! I don't think I'm a good fit for Pararescue because I can't do Pull Ups properly and I lack Water Confidence. Another thing to point out is that most people who join the Air Force aren't physically fit like the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps so that's another reason why no one is doing Special Warfare in the Air Force. But I respect anyone that goes through Special Warfare in the Air Force! But like always, keep up with the awesome content! 🔥
“If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.” ― W.C. Fields You all don't quite get the baffle them dazzle down yet. Well except for the hair. BTW, great podcast and informative while being very entertaining as I drank my morning coffee.
This Jarhead laughed super hard. I was in back in '90. And it was tough, but my all time favorite throughout all the service's is the, "I would have joined but I couldn't handle a D.I. yelling at me, I would have laid him out flat"...
Humility is huge, the people I've served with that have it have generally done really well for themselves. I think from my experiences the military has been a great opportunity for me to help build it.
"That's what Trent does around anything moist" took me out. And Trent just continued on normally but I couldn't even pay attention to what he was saying. x'D
Damn, now I have to jump ship to the marines 😂 nothing I love more than locking my CAC while on leave and not being able to get a reset because I don’t have a shaving waiver on me 😅 that’s just part of the heritage
Should I try to join if I have a sarcasm allergy? My mom talked to the recruiter for me and she said she can get me a waiver but I just want to be absolutely sure.
Well, you need to go yourself, baby boy. You gonna have you battle buddy talk to your Sargent or chain of command for you. No, you must put your big boy pants on. You think they want a soldier where Mommy does everything for them. Especially when you need a waiver. Get up and go talk to them yourself. Ahahaa
Why on earth would they take combat dive out of CCT and especially SR when the whole purpose of the job is clandestine infil & environmental reconnaissance. Makes no sense whatsoever.
Was there any sarcasm to the Officers not getting operator time? If I have a degree is it worth just going enlisted/PJ as opposed to CRO if I want to get operating time?
Question for Aaron! My recruiter says I need to quit bjj. I really don’t want to. I feel it helps in so many ways in preparing for the pipeline. Advice? Thanks
Seems this is a great Podcast to throw out this BS in the comments. This originated circa late 1960s (after 1966). Lots of deployments including no-notice deployments to support manned space program and other operations back and tasked missions back then during the 1960s. SCUBA qual became a career AFSC core skill level award and retention requirement in 1963, which is why there is some dive qual references regarding dive watches and dive knifes. HQ AF approves PJ beret in 1966. BTW, each has some stories that can be and are often told at the PJ social gatherings. Originally only mentioned flight or jump pay as although technically one could be paid one of the any special duty qual pays duties were being performed, most PJ chose the one that paid the most dollars. Dual hazardous duty pay authorizations and SDAP didn't get approved until 1984. Titled the USAF Pararescueman: AS SEEN BY HIMSELF: A tall handsome guy, a highly trained competent professional, a female idol, maroon beret wearing, diving knife carrying gentleman who is always on time thanks to his Rolex watch. AS SEEN BY HIS BOSS: A fine specimen of a drunken, truck stealing, brass, brawling, woman corrupting liar with a maroon beret, Rolex watch and a diving knife who performs duties vital to the ultimate survival of downed aircrews and others who are injured on the battlefield. AS SEEN BY HIS WIFE: A seldom seen member of the family who comes home once in a while with a bag full of dirty laundry, an empty wallet, stale booze on his breath and hot pants. AS SEEN BY HIS SQUADRON AND WING COMMANDERS: A drunken, brawling, truck stealing, woman corrupting liar with a maroon beret, Rolex watch and a diving knife who is known for doing things such as painting “green feet” on water towers. AS SEEN BY MAINTENANCE: A waste of tax payer’s money, plays with toy trucks, gets drunk on two beers, always broke when it’s his turn to buy, gone a lot, fun wives, starts fights with other drunks, cannon fodder, can identify difference between a HC-130 and a helicopter two out of three times, second after maintenance on woman at parties, admired by other PJs, too dumb to do own laundry, late for WAPS testing because he can’t read his Rolex Watch, carries a diving knife in a purse, and can be easily identified by the red condemned tag on his head. AS SEEN BY SUPPLY: An overpaid Prima Dona who is allowed by policies and allowance source codes to procure anything he wants, must be issued a Rolex watch and diving knife, always trying to corrupt the woman, wears a funny red hat and lies a lot. AS SEEN BY FINANCE: An overpaid individual that is not worth the paper his paycheck is printed on; works harder chasing woman, gambling and drinking away his pay than he does earning flight, dive, jump and pro pays. AS SEEN BY USAF HEATH SERVICES: An overpaid delusionary individual that believes he is: (1) an indispensable highly trained medic because he gives rescued aircrews a drink of water and a Band-Aid; and (2) a devastatingly attractive man who fascinates women. Has access to too many drugs, wears a funny red hat and lies a lot. AS SEEN BY HQ USAF: An overpaid, over ranked tax burden that is indispensable because he has volunteered to go anywhere and do anything as long as he can booze it up, brawl, steal trucks, corrupt woman, lie, wear a maroon beret, Rolex watch and a diving knife.
The difference between enlisted leadership concepts and officer leadership concepts is officer leadership is bound to the Great leader theory of a leader is born concept that has been replaced with the great leader is learned in moral, ethics, and philosophies gained from academic achievement. Thus, it flows NCO being from the unlearned population aren't worthy to lead or even interact as a subleader to the leader until they get properly educated. So, the question arising from the presented assertions is it a baffle with BS style argument or a Gish Gallop style argument. Perhaps it's an answer only your hair stylist can disclose. (a hair joke)
I, for one, think he's got a long way to go to reach too much; like he's got discretion, or something. Put your feet up, without having to put your head in the gound, uou've earned the privilege
If I was back in my 20's I would try out for the afsoc pipeline and have a fall back on as an af mechanic if I'd fail it but I'd mainly stay in to pump, dump and jizz n a few air force chicks and post it on the hub Seriously I'd think jtacs and tacps make great amateur radio operators, operating CW on HF radios and other radios.
What the hell is wrong with people being different? Nothing. Thought you guys were above the "woke" talking points. Laughable whenever someone says "woke" like it's a legitimate term.

This episode is just the first step of weeding out
“pj’s being general weirdos” was the final bit of motivation i needed to enlist lmao
Same here! Lmao 😂
Recently started my journey with the recruiter and working towards development sessions. I listen to y'all on my work commute (2 hours round trip). Y'all are phenomenal. Keep it coming!
“Reasons NOT to Join Air Force Special Warefare”…funny shit! 😂
Ironically you may have just helped out recruitment by 20%! 😂
You’re telling me I can’t fight dragons in the AF? What am I here for? 🙄
Thank you for clearing the air! This has made me make my final decision on joining the Air Force!
LMAO someone in my BMT class swung on a pregnant MTI for getting in his face…she absolutely whooped homeboys ass 🤣

Love this episode. Can’t wait to bring ya some coffee, Aaron!
Thanks man!
Best episode. Standards are too high section would make a great commercial for recruitment.
This Jarhead laughed super hard. I was in back in '90. And it was tough, but my all time favorite throughout all the service's is the, "I would have joined but I couldn't handle a D.I. yelling at me, I would have laid him out flat"...
I have spontaneously snort laughed several times & I wish my dad could have heard this....just to hear him say sheesh & chuckle.
Man I'm 5'8 maybe 145 rn and I've been working my ass off and training, bein a pj is my dream bro haven't doubted myself one second I'm gonna make it
CCT shirts/flags would be sick
Humility is huge, the people I've served with that have it have generally done really well for themselves. I think from my experiences the military has been a great opportunity for me to help build it.
"That's what Trent does around anything moist" took me out. And Trent just continued on normally but I couldn't even pay attention to what he was saying. x'D
😊
P nb
Great Content as always 🔥
Gotta love them cake eaters and their endearing nicknames for the enlisted 😅
Had a good laugh on this episode, Trent blurred the lines, hard to know when he's serious lol
Absolutely. Hysterical. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's pretty good😂😂
Damn, now I have to jump ship to the marines 😂 nothing I love more than locking my CAC while on leave and not being able to get a reset because I don’t have a shaving waiver on me 😅 that’s just part of the heritage
Peaches looks like he's having a hard time deciphering what parts are sarcasm or reality 😂
Yep, I struggled on that one 🤣🍑
This was just a reasons why to join in disguise
So you’re saying I have a chance?
Should I try to join if I have a sarcasm allergy? My mom talked to the recruiter for me and she said she can get me a waiver but I just want to be absolutely sure.
Well, you need to go yourself, baby boy. You gonna have you battle buddy talk to your Sargent or chain of command for you. No, you must put your big boy pants on. You think they want a soldier where Mommy does everything for them. Especially when you need a waiver. Get up and go talk to them yourself. Ahahaa
When do you guys find out if combat dive is being taken out of the pipeline for CCT and SR?
Why on earth would they take combat dive out of CCT and especially SR when the whole purpose of the job is clandestine infil & environmental reconnaissance. Makes no sense whatsoever.
@@svdcleveland Watch last weeks episode. They go through the whole thing.
I feel called out with "that body fat percentage"
I’d say I feel bad if I felt bad. -T
Could you pls make an ep on Alaskan PJ's and CROs?
They pull the weight of the entire career field. What else is there to know? -T
Just the selection process, tryouts and some cool rescues@@OnesReady
Was there any sarcasm to the Officers not getting operator time? If I have a degree is it worth just going enlisted/PJ as opposed to CRO if I want to get operating time?
Lord trunks I’m smarter , better , stronger I am better ! Lol
Who doesn't love the puns!?
Question for Aaron!
My recruiter says I need to quit bjj. I really don’t want to. I feel it helps in so many ways in preparing for the pipeline. Advice? Thanks
Hit me up in the DMs, I assume the recruiter doesn’t want you to get injured? - A
@@OnesReady thanks I’ll shoot you a message! But yeah he said he doesn’t even want me to get gi burn lol
@@jos5936 Haha yeah man shoot us a message we can chat it up
If a drill instructor is in your face there’s a good reason. 100% of the time it’s your fault.
I can't join because if the DS ever got in my face, I'd just see rainbows and probably kiss him

If you guys are in the Central/NorCal area hit me up. I'm the Special Warfare Recruiting Flight Chief and can connect you to your USAF SW recruiter.
I, for one, think he's got a long way to go to reach too much; like he's got discretion, or something. Put your feet up, without having to put your head in the gound, uou've earned the privilege
total shit post, i love it 😂
Great offbeat episode that made me laugh. You guys continue to be the best source for special warfare information. Thank you Jared, Trent, etc. 😉
Lmao weather nerds

Do CIA Recruit airforce
Usually right out of BMT or selection…-T
Sweaties…

Hi, Zed. This entire episode was a joke. We weren’t being serious. So you’re lecturing us for agreeing with you. Appreciate your input. - A
