Wow, if this video doesn't get you fired up, then this business isn't for you; well done!
I'm 53 years old and never served (other than a cop, which don't count). But my father was 22 years AFEOD. Met a couple PJ's in my day and they were they had a persona that would clear a room. WIthout being cocky like SEALS. They always held a humble attitude and professional demeanor. Even as civilians. Now not saying they are ALLL awesome but the ones I met have. Before Seals became the TV superstars I always said they were the real superheroes. PJ's are who I idolized. And i knew so little about them. So super glad to be seeing more and more videos about you guys. You deserve the spotlight.
Thank you for your service as a LEO
Dude this has me so motivated to accomplish my goal of becoming an AF PJ! Love this video 😎🤙🏽
10 year PJ veteran. Now is a great time. Did 5 deployments. One hell crash in 08
Thats awesome- thank you for your service. What unit? When did you graduate indoc/the apprentice course? - A
Thank you for this video it helped me so much!
Awesome video
There's something fascinating about this PJ pipeline. Other than having to prove yourself like any other operator course, it's as if it's built to elevate you to success rather than finding innumerable ways to break you down. Fascinating.
Back in 2015 I was one of those guys that did the 6month battlefield airmen DEP only to get DQ’d for vision 😂 that sucked like hell. Add insult to injury, first duty station was Tyndall and having to see all the folks training for what I wanted sucked even more lmao. We live and we learn
🏆🤗🙏🇺🇲
Thank you for sharing
In case I lack the physical fitness to be a PJ since I've been planning on going through 50-pound weight loss; I'm fine sticking to becoming a Special Missions Aviator where I could cross train into Airborne School once my SMA pipeline is finished alongside advance my training into TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) to advance my medical skills. But to any aspiring PJ; my respect goes out to them for their bravery and commitment to saving lives! As always, keep up the good work and as always; keep us updated with Air Force Special Warfare especially with changes in the pipelines!
Whats issue with free fall course? It’s backed up?
Maaann socm tells us our rotations had the highest trauma rates within the cities… Tampa, FL … Camden, NJ… Flint, Michigan… I forget where else
Aaron you are a bad-ass sir!
Noooooope. Just a dude. - A
PEACHES!! Haha like Bob Roberts (scarecrow) best friend? Heard nothing but great things about you
What happens if you join already having your P Card
Always knew I wanted to be military, always knew I wanted to be special forces, I just didn’t know what kind, geeen berets, rangers looked good, I went to JROTC in highschool and funny enough I didn’t like the air force at the time cause I thought they were all planes and sky work, silly me didn’t think to google air force special forces, as soon as I learned about their CCT and PJ I was hooked I finally found a purpose to my life I could fulfill.
Hows it going so far?
I'll be graduating with a BS next year, is it common to see canidates that are older (25 y/o) enlist to become a PJ or would CRO be a better option since I would have a degree already?
They’re different jobs; so it’s up to you to decide what you want to do. It’s very common for PJs to have 4 year degrees, and we skew older in age.
@@OnesReady What does it mean that "we skew older in age"?
@@joshuayankovizmeans the average age of a PJ is older than other Air Force jobs.
Got me fired up today A Aron !! 👊🏽
Appreciate you! - A
Hey guys, would one need to go through the paramedic (NREMT) portion of the certification process if they are already civilian flight paramedic? Is there an option to go straight into the advanced trauma course that would follow the 8 mos of paramedic training?
Thanks in advance.
Short answer, if your cards are good through graduation from the Apprentice course, then no, you wouldn’t have to take MP3 and you’d skip that part of the pipeline. However, there’s no ‘advanced trauma course’ you mentioned. MP3 goes from zero to paramedic + additional dirt/trauma medicine, then you’re evaluated at the apprentice course during medical block. So, no, you won’t have to re-take Paramedic. But you’ll be evaluated to the standards for Pararescue medical performance whether you’ve taken MP3 or have a civilian cert.
@@OnesReady thank you. Also, I’ve seen a few numbers as far as age thrown around. What is the definitive max age cut off for one wanting to go into pararescue?
@@ItzDreMaan 42. Have to be enlisted at 41
I work for the fire dept in Philly.. we had a PJ do his ride time in the medic unit at my station in 2019ish.. trying to remember his name lol awesome dude though
Hell yeah! I was at 37s, down in south Philly. Back in 2006-2007 we were the first class up there. Loved Philly. -A
I’ve been in that shit box a few times lol m3 is at my station across the bridge in southwest
@@paddywhacked098 nice dude!!! lol 37s was awesome. Love those folks. Right next to 11s.
In terms of Medicine in the career. What is the difference between Pararescue and 18D?
Extensive.
🔥💯🤙🏽👊🏽🙏🏽
Ik y’all said to don’t take information seriously from online but how would they feel about double hip surgery
@@LowSlow5.0 how would who feel?
I'm 3 years from graduating college, should I still contact a recruiter this far out?
Honestly, not really. That’s pretty far out- you don’t even know off you’re going to graduate yet. About a year out is right.
No, rethink stealing oil and lithium
Hey, did yall disclude SERE because you had to.
I’m sorry what? Did we not mention SERE? We legit mention it all the time. -A
Is Brian ever gonna make a appearance on the show again?
Brian from Here’s the Deal channel?
am I able to become a pj if I go in as an officer?
No- PJs are enlisted. The officers that work the closest with PJs are combat rescue officers, or CROs.
@@OnesReady whats the difference between a TACP O and an enlisted TACP?? Also when I talked to a recruiter he said it is possible for officer to be a Pj is he just bsing?
What if we are already in the airforce
Can you explain a little bit? If you’re already in the Air Force… what?
@@OnesReady thank you for the responda and sorry about the lack of info, I’m actually surprised I got a respond.. the question would be like if you are already in the airforce about to be a year in on a 6 year contract. Do I reach out to a special warfare recruiter or does it have to be someone in my chain of command … what would be the right time to do this , as soon as possible or wait til my window gap to change jobs ?
@@alisonhurtado1094 Gotcha. So, if you’re already in, you need 2 years total time in service and you can apply for cross training into critically manned career fields. You’d start that process on your own by talking to your career advisor/retraining folks on base and getting your packet together. The right time (other than timing mentioned above) is when you’re ready.
@@OnesReady ok sounds good , I appreciate it. I’ll be counting the days and hopefully one day I’ll be given the opportunity.
Has anyone ever raised their hand for CCT and by the end of swcc the cadre told them their more of a TACP?
We can ask the SWCC cadre, however, I’m not sure what kind of data would even lead to that sort of situation (other than maybe water confidence specifically related to ability to pass dive school?). The attributes and physical standards for CCT/TACP are nearly identical, so I can’t really imagine on what context that could even happen. Can you help me understand your question a bit better? - A
@@OnesReady Was thinking about dive school, if someones not too good of a swimmer.
Gotcha. It’s not the SWCC cadre’s job to try and predict the future. If a candidate shows the train ability, coach ability, grit, determination, skill- the cadre give them the tools to be better and succeed, not necessarily to tell them *not* to do something. If that makes sense.
@@OnesReady 🙏
Hold up 5:47 marijuana use at ANY time?
I think Aaron is my dad
For your sake I sure hope not. - A
@@OnesReadyLoL, that answer is classic. Aaron, you sir, are a gentleman.
Oil and lithium thieves
Cry about it
