We are all trained to swim in the worst conditions, there are some guys who are just faster than others just like anything. We do have some competitions from time to time and its always a toss-up. Indoc is just as hard now as it was before, the biggest difference is that we have a lesson plan now.

How would you compare the daily lives of a CRO/PJ attached to an STS squad vs a RQS squad? You said that the STS operator needs to be more squared away and know what they're doing a little bit better. What would be the main mission of the RTS operator? Obviously, RQS operators would be solely devoted to rescuing people, but what about the STS operator? SEAL's and CCT aren't necessarily devoted to pulling people out of the fire or what have you.

[@t8368]

Yes you will most likely at some point in your career have to shoot someone pjs fly in helicopters with .50 machine guns if a plane got shot down and your trying to save the pilot then there is a possibility that there will be hostiles at the plane. While I get the premise of not wanting to kill anyone you are joining the military so no matter what job you do you will have to accept the fact that you might have to kill a man or they just might kill you

[@louievxli8231]

Well if you going to a place where people are shooting at you, make a choice are you going to shoot back so that your brothers can live or just freeze and not shoot back the saying “that others may live” is meaning that you will defend the wounded and save others by using your tools (your rifle) to get them home because in the end it’s either you or the enemy that lives

[@dallasyap3064]

Only fire/kill when being fired upon by the enemy. PJs (in the RQS) dont go out deliberately to kill bad guys, their primary job is to save. But if they are landing at a hostile area with enemy engaging u then u are gonna have to shoot back and kill them. If u are a STS PJ, that means u will be joining other SOFs to go out and conduct operations (probably kill but depends) against enemy where u most likely need to kill enemies.

So are PJ's technically called Rescue Specialists or Rescue Technicians? I know that City firefighters are like rescue specialists because they do technical rescue （USAR，surface water rescue， dive rescue/recovery）Someone asked me if PJs are soldiers but I heard that PJs only use small arms weapons for CSAR with no hand-to-hand combat training either

[@dakotas9393]

Would like some first hand knowledge on this as well.

[@dallasyap3064]

I dont think there is any official term for it. But they are understood as rescue specialists or rescue experts. Rescue technician is a general term for someone working in rescue jobs. Rescue specialist or rescue experts are generally known for those with more specialized technical skills and trades. Technically PJs are called airmen bcoz they are members of the Air Force. And no they dont just use small arms, they also carry rifles, M4 and other long automatic rifles along with small arms. PJs do get hand to hand combat training but not as much or as focus compared to other SOFs.

If you are able to clarify, the cert that says "...Street Figher/CQB certified" is this an Army Combatives course or does the Air Force have their own version? Also for the "SOF Medic" cert, would this be similar to the SOCM 18D attend. It was my understanding that PJs used to attend the 18D course, but no longer do as the PJs have their own course. Was wondering if the PJs were possibly going back.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

It is not an Army or Airforce course, we go to privately run courses from former and current tier 1 operators as well as some of the standard army courses such as Airborne. We go to SOFMSSC for refreshers as well but also have the option to go to whatever courses fit our needs

[@dallasyap3064]

Like KHAIAS said they're both hard in their own ways. Statistically CCTs have a higher fail rate. But PJs training is much longer. So if u are a guy that cant handle being in a tough training for too long, then u would struggle in PJ training bcoz its almost 2 years long. And PJ training deals a lot with water (both as much and as hard as Navy SEALs swim & water training) especially its indoc (now A&S), so like u said u are bad in water, so u probably will struggle in PJ training more. Note: U will eventually need to attend the Air Force Combat Diver Course which is 6 weeks no matter u go CCT or PJ, difference is in PJ u attend the course during the pipeline, in CCT u attend it after the pipeline.

[@averyb8848]

Same, I’m dedicated to becoming one

[@A_Random_Rat]

Best replace time gaming for a swimming class, that’s what I’m doing.

[@amandadominguez999]

Are there any females in this field?

[@AW-nr6no]

Amandla D currently, I dont this so. Just recently have we gained the opportunity to try out, but very few have stepped up. Let’s be the first to make it.

[@averybartosh5606]

@@AW-nr6no good luck

[@alexmiller5252]

It's a male only job

[@AW-nr6no]

Alex miller it is not (technically). The US opened all special ops jobs to females. Has there been a female PJ? No. Could there be? Yes.

[@Katie-ci8lb]

[@elisabetarusu2837]

[@joseliadossantos1170]

[@monarch8086]

In your experience, have you had to kill anyone while rescuing someone?

[@DiabloOutdoors]

PJs risk their lives to save lives. That's it. No need for video :)

Hey man can you say this with Less Enthusiasm, your energy is Overwhelming

[@samiryankey6700]

In case of a terrorist attack on the White House would PJs come to rescue the president or not?

[@0z372]

Samir Yankey I was thinking the same exact thing but I don’t think so. I not sure but I think he has his own type of secret service unit that specializes in rescue operations I’m not sure about it though but I have heard it from a police officer when I was attending a event.

[@ZeeCapp]

No it would most likely be the secret services while SWAT would probably come in as well since it's a terrorist attack or whatever plus the president is usually surrounded by a few marines because they take orders straight from the president
