Air Force pararescue is what the movies make you think Navy SEALS are.

PJs have the hardest motto and it isn’t particularly close

Yeah PJ is short for Para Jumpers which is the slang for Pararescue.

but all respect to pararescue those guys do not fuck around

Second this. I used to work at the USAF Pararescue School at Kirtland. These peeps are amaze amaze amaze.
If you ever meet an Air Force PJ, buy them a drink.

They’re some of the bravest MFs you’ll ever meet.

They’ve been at this all day trying to find the WSO, despite taking fire every time they go out.

This may be the most liberal (laudatory) of the films

One notes they made Anthony Mackie’s character a pararescue guy, the most lib-coded of the special forces!

Not military, but many years ago I heard it stood for Pararescue Jumper (aka pararescue that jumped out of a plane to get to the wounded.)

USAF Pararescue giving their commanders an almighty get-out they fundamentally do not deserve, for a pilot who should never have been put in this situation to begin with.

pararescue jumperssss this is very #operator
Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today.

A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field.

Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission.

The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.
Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

I maintain that the best SOF is the Pararescue. SEALs are a bunch of overrated jackasses who spend more time human trafficking and having books ghostwritten than contributing to the war effort.

Basically I think there should be as many firefighter/pararescue/doctor games as there are cop/soldier/border patrol games.

For f***’s sake, if this were my family member, this incompetent administration would be forced—if necessary—to deploy Delta Force, Navy SEAL Team 6, the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, Army Rangers, Marine Corps Raiders, Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and Air Force Pararescue to bring them home.

21st ranger corp specializes in pararescue and wildlife management. Day 1 on Rathis they give every tourist rules to survive on Rathis. If they have to come save you they're going to be understandably grumpy with you. #scifiart #ttrpgcommunity #art #aliens #indiegamedev #pararescue

*doubts in operational history of USAF Pararescue in Vietnam*

We shouldn’t be there. This shouldn’t be happening. Neither the pilots nor their rescuers should carry this risk.

That aside, most people don’t even know they exist but these are the folks who do this job. I know them. They’re amazing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

Pararescue too, I'd imagine!

What these pararescue jumpers and coast guardsman do is nothing short of incredible. After 20+ years of GWOT I think we forget that we have (had?) a lot of military assets that are solely in place to save lives and help people. #HATM

Hope its ok to drop this. I feel a lot of civilians like me did not have a name for what we intuitively was sure existed. Some go about their work quietly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

Parajumper - common for the military specialty of Pararescue. Combat medic. the most highly trained, best equipped combat medic ready to enter the battlefield at anytime by any means. They serve under the same motto that began in WWII- "that others may live'
