Just messing with you man, they deserve a lot of credit, along with CCT's.

I know, just playing along ;-)

Air Force

Para-rescue!


They have the most demanding physical standards and recieve the most extensive training. They have the highest attrition rate during their indoctrination phase. They attend all special ops schools in addition to their own advanced courses.

When special ops needs rescue they send these guys in.

i think that was the special ops group i saw a documentary about.

Air Force PJ's surely have an intense training regimen, especially water training, drown-proofing, etc, however, from what I have read (in the book Blackhawk Down) the rest of the special ops community saw the PJ route as the "shortcut" the spec. ops. "field". Again, this is just something I read, not speaking from personal experience. And I have heard of their amazing ability to rescue people in the most dangerous situations.

Cool shit. What sort of training did you get to do with them?

I recognize that all elements involved in the special ops field work extremely hard and sacrifice so much in our defense. They all serve a unique purpose and mission. Wether they be PJ/SEAL/Delta ect., they all deserve our respect and appreciation.

Dammit to hell, I wish I would not have run out of money. Never got to do so many things I wanted to:

Cave diving

Snowmobile the Colorado continental divide.......guaranteed pure suicide

Wreck dive at 400 feet

Shoot a charging rhino while rolling on the ground

Nightime ice dive

Climb Everest solo



OK..........daydream over. My vote is solo recon. Just have more respect for the solo folks.


Coast Guard swimmers have no fear and do amazing stuff but.........hurricanes don't normally coincide with freezing waters. Ocean storms............one has to respect the ocean. It can swallow a 1000' ship without a hiccup.
