Going Pararescue

[johnnybravo]

Last year I decided I wanted to do something more exciting so I put in a package to retrain into Pararescue. It's one of the Air Forces special ops fields. I leave this weekend and I'm pretty stoked. It's 2 years of crazy training with a 90% washout rate. Lucky me! And I just bought a ton of goodies from Stinker and Justin and I won't get to put them on the truck until August:argh:

If it's anything like the Army SF selection process... it's gonna suck!

First 8 weeks is kind of like BUDS for the SEALs but the days are more structured. Tons of swimming and running. I'll drown a few times which is hard to look forward to. Builds character right? If I pass all the run and swim evals and the drown-proofing stuff then it's off to paramedic training, basic jump and freefall schools, combat diver training, survival school, and finally actual pararescue training. 22 months all together.

Right on! We need more people like you in this country. Good luck and stay strong!

My brother is pararescue for many years now. It's tough for sure but you will be one of the elite. Enjoy!
