- Jason Sweet isn't like other PJ's. As a members of Air Force Special Warfare, Pararescue Specialists (PJ's) are directly responsible for the rescue and medical treatment of downed military personnel all over the world. And saving lives is only a part of his service record - Jason also spent a spell in Afghanistan, roomed with his own father while he was at boot camp, and even played on special teams for University of Arizona Football.
Nowadays he's running an elite Special Operations training program called SOCOM Athlete, merging his knowledgebase with other professionals from different arms of the military to train America's next generation of warriors. But to hear where he came from, you might be surprised to see how far he's come.

Jason is the reason my son is in the PJ pipeline… He has mentored and motivated my son from day one at Socom Athlete… Thank you for your service Sir!
Holy shit! When he mentioned Gordo my jaw hit the floor. Small world. We went through basic, AIT together and later ended up serving in the same unit. Hes a brother of mine🤙
God Bless you Mike, and May God Bless the United States of America!
I helped my wife study for that EMT test about 10 years ago and that test is no joke.
Did a hell day in 2020 with Jason and his team. Badass experience. Badass guy.
I'm going through EMT-P school now, and it's great. Couldn't imagine doing it in six months, though.
Pararecue is the real deal - loved every minute of being a PJ
really appreciate what jason is doing with socom athelete, its helped me so much in my sleection prep
Well let us all know when you make it damnit. Never get any follow up
hopefully he does better than he does spelling lol. seriously@@trumanmiller94
Because most guys dont make it.@@trumanmiller94
Great episode. Showing love for the PJ'S. "That others may live" should be a better known motto. Thank you Mike
Did the socom athlete program in 2022. It teaches you some great things, way more than just what’s needed for the pipeline.
It's interesting how physicality plays such a huge role in the lives of a lot of operators post-military. It cracks me up when I hear them say that it's mostly mental...especially when they're talking about training like BUDS or numerous selection courses. No. It's mostly physical, & most of these guys are more special physically than they are special mentally. Most of these guys are within a range of pretty smart to really smart, but they're all outstanding athletes, very much including the guys that say they're just average athletes...they mean average amongst their peers, not amongst society at large. I'd love to hear more of these guys talk about this...the fact that the main requirement is physical talent.
This guy is a real treasure.. both of ya!
Great episode, cant wait for part 2
I was a paramedic for a little over 27 years. I worked a busy system in central Texas. Your descriptions of some of your calls brought back a lot of memories. Both good and bad. My experiences changed me and not always for the better. Call me crazy but if I knew then what I know now I’d do it all over again.
Much respect to PJs. ❤❤❤❤
Hes explaining eating walmart chicken like hes on a mission lol😂
Jason is a great man
Such an incredible interview, Mike Ritland! We lived in Gold Canyon, AZ (east Mesa) during that time. We would have brought Jason in in a heartbeat!
Very interesting interview! Looking forward to episode 2. I'd be interested in knowing more about the tattoos I see on just about everyone you interview, including yours. I enjoy your podcasts Mike, keep up the great work!
Another great episode! Lets Go 🔥🔥🔥
Mike do your thing bro the advertising sponsor stuff is normal and necessary even jre does it. It’s all good. Honored to have this podcast to listen to its one of the best.
Thanks for your service.
Your ads are the only one I like to listen too
Just another outstanding podcast
Mike these videos are absolutely incredible. Love your style of interviewing and this was one of the best. What an incredible story of divine intervention. This was a riveting interview throughout. I’m am always in awe of the American warriors. God bless this guy and may God continue to be his guiding light. What a story. Ps thanks the dog food really helped my best pal
Thanks!
Great Segment Enjoyed
God bless our troops and especially all of our brothers sons and fathers that never came home and God bless America
Come on Mike. Let’s see part two. Dying of old age waiting over here
@Robert-nd4mo Robert he has to squeeze in more Bubs naturals and Jockos protein and manscape and….
What an amazing human being ❤😢❤ This hit hard 💖
Mike awesome show! Interview the master chief he spoke of.
The Big Bang actually happened... GOD said, "BANG", and it happened.
💯🇱🇷👍 excellent brothers
" Hands On... Right away" Like pissing on a fence post...lmaololololo
"Scramble, Scramble" ala Seawolves...
We really learn very little about Mike, especially anything in-depth about his career in the SEALS. His job behind the mic is to learn about the subject of the interview, after all. I was surprised to learn he served and fought beside Glen Doherty. Maybe I missed that at some point.
Benghazi is one of those events that has stuck with me as a great tragedy of war and how every facet of our government is flawed - causing things to happen that never should have and denying any blame or involvement in those events. “What difference does it make now, anyhow.” are words I will not only never forget but never forgive, either. It was in many ways a turning point for me on realizing just how corrupt our government is.
I think of those four men often- probably too often for the fragile side of me - Doherty, Stevens, Smith and Woods. I only know them from what I have read and seen on the internet that is bold enough to tell the full story, but it’s a tragedy I can’t seem to shake. That allows me to honor them not only on September 11 along with the souls of 3,000 lost at the Twin Towers but every time I wear the tee shirt with their names and “Valor” printed in bold leaders. The ink is fading but the memory and the honor never will.
Mike, please consider having the Python Cowboy on your podcast. He uses dogs to hunt snakes. He was recently on the JRE. It would be a legendary podcast.
yoooo i live in pensacola/pace florida. nice! good shit brother
Be sweet to get his dad on the podcast
Have Stew Smith on
Man I’m in ROTC at Arizona State and I’ve grown up out here as well and everything he says about Payson and Mesa and Phoenix sounds so familiar. GCU is my sister school in my battalion. Just wild to think about
Hope mike gets his Dad on the podcast
Hey I’m interested in CCT you think you would be able to get a CCT operator on?
I'd actually suggest watching episode 2 first....as I did. Amplifier for who this amazing person is🎉
Great interview look forward to seeing part 2
Glory to NATO countries
For all who serve massive respect
Thanks for the content Mike... blessings to you and yours to both of you bad mofos....
dr. frank turek is the truth! i highly recommend his book and videos on youtube debating morality.
Never chow down on the local food immediately. Especially in some 2nd world country.
Holy fuck his dad reenlisted at 41!
1:33 in ...."but we realized is the fifty-caliber was really effective and it scared the enemy" ........gee you don't say lol
Hell yeah! Love the show brother
We were at DM at the same time i was in the fire dept and we would come out and train on your helos with yall. 2013-2016
Payson is beautiful. I live in Phx, but Payson is my dream place to live.
I think everyone has done that with the walmart deli to be honest 😂
@dillioncowie5220 Walmart chicken, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast
4th. Love your vids
No way I would of ate their food.
Destin is a terrible place. No one should ever visit there. Great episode!
All good about the ads, man; no worries.
That being said, I just wish AG1 didn’t have soy in it. 😬😅🤙🏽
💯👍
💯👍🇺🇸
Brother I will say this You never Found The Lord God already Knew exactly who you were and that You would come back to him. Scripture tells us That He Knew Us Before We were Known. He knows our Very Thoughts before we think them, He Knew Us Before We were Born.
Cool. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼
You guys should Google personal incredulity...
Mike I am sorry to say this to you, but Dallas Suck Terribly Bad. Lolll San Antonio is the Best.
What happened to the dog?
I jeep more ads in my podcasts
Something about this dude gives me used car salesman vibes
agreed.
good thing or bad thing?
Sup with so many SF ppl being so religious?
There are no atheists in foxholes! A lot of these dudes have had a brush with death or multiple!
1:00:00 🤣 What is it with the Army and hands in pockets? I was AF attached to a unit at Fort Polk LA and was walking to work with my hands in my pockets. An Army SSgt literally ran 50 meters yelling at me to get my hands out. I played the AFI 36-2903 card and said airmen could have their hands in their pockets (totally bluffing). The sgt just walked away grumbling, as did I for being stationed on that s..t hole of an assignment in the first place. PS Met some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life at Fort Polk, who coincidentally casually used the n word and praised Jesus on Sunday. It was such a weird place.
The dudest of bros, or the broest of dudes?
Mike - Two things -
(1) If people aren’t mature enough to understand advertising is mandatory- just like their most laughable B*d Li*ht ad…maybe they should try anime instead
(2) I’ve seen the show almost from the start. Tonight is the first time I got the intro logo…..and I spent 30-pus years post government life with microphones. All I ever saw was the trident ….
You'd have to provide evidence for that spaceless and timeless being. The Universe didn't just come from nothing.
But I'm sensitive 🥺

I've never understood the battle between belief and non-belief. My dad killed himself in 1975, he was a believer and took his own life and his self-death left me alone and confused. For me there is no god. No creator. It's a subjective experience. I am happy to live in a society where faith is personal and subjective. I don't want 'turn' people away from religion, faith and belief. It's a personal and subjective experience and I don't make a habit of telling people that I have zero belief and zero faith in a god. At the same time I have no negative comments about people who enjoy and live with belief and faith. If it works for you then do it. Religion and faith has provided so much human goodness for humans in culture, architecture, music and literature. I embrace that cultural importance. Yet, my life, my perspective in that there is no god, no afterlife and no redeemer belongs to me is my subjective experience. I can't live a false life. Yet, I have also asked for answers just like Jason did that night when he saw the stars in the sky and asked for life and spiritual guidance. I heard nothing. No response. No voice. So I continue to live with my freedom to feel nothing in regards to any faith or belief in a god. I was a soldier in Iraq in 1991 and was close to death after an accident and when I 'died' there was nothing but the blackness of the nothingness until I woke up in Cyprus in hospital with tubes coming out of every part of my body. Also I understand that Mike produces a shown that requires advertisements to create this great show. And Jason Sweet's story is great.
Funny... I thought it to be Satan's butt crack
Did he just dox someone in an SMU?
Dude is probably out now anyways
@@trumanmiller94would you bet his life on it?
I'm guessing that won't be appreciated......
He retired. And he was out (of the unit; I guess the 24th?) by the time Mr. Sweet met him.
@@angusfraser-brown1663 I think you misunderstood.
How do you explain nothingness?
First
third
Your commercials are to much. Can’t do it.
dude sounds like a total chump
I do not like mr. Sweet.
Tell us why
@@trumanmiller94 his name says enough
I’ve seen a few comments like this… is there a particular reason why?
Mike, sit up straight and take off your hat. Have some self respect.
No one believes we're here by a mistake dude. Such lazy approach a huge strawman.
Anyone that didnt enjoy thise episode " Chike yourself !"
😂
Mike what the fuck. These interviews used to be badass. I felt like this was a 2 hour long commercial. In a week when part 2 drops I'm going to forget why I wanted to listen in the first place, your killing your own momentum. If u say the punchline a week later the build up is already forgotten my man.
