New Zealand Girl Reacts to USAF PARARESCUE JUMPERS! 

PJs never get enough credit. Pararescue are medics, soldiers, all Special Forces know them. They go when no one else can. Absolute Legends

America has it's problems but I'm still proud to be American because of people like those men. America has a lot of great people but we only focus on the bad people. Another great reaction, Courtney.

My grandpa was a PJ, and they never get the credit they deserve. He passed this year and he was the most amazing and joyful person. Thank you for giving them the love these people should receive.

Speaking as a Navy Corpsman , The PJ's are some of the very best in the business.

I'm in the Air Force and have met several PJ's. Each one of them has been so incredibly humble.

I have a friend who was medevac pilot for the Army. He suffers from ptsd and now has a service dog because of all the things he saw and went through. There was also a show on Nat Geo called "Inside Combat Rescue" which is a day in the life as well as a pov of pj's. It's on Amazon now and is worth watching if you have time.

I remember these guys from basic in Lackland. Even in their free time, they ran everywhere. They never walked and always made everyone else feel like ordinary mortals. They are the guys that pull a 180 lbs pilot out of his crashed plane, strap him on their backs and run 50 miles back to friendly lines. Maybe that is an exaggeration, but maybe not. God bless all of our special forces and every other person who serves or has served. It really is a team effort, but the team does have super stars.

PJs have to be ready for any condition or situation that *any* special ops teams can find themselves in. It's much harder to save a live than to take one... and even harder yet, when someone's trying to kill you while you do it.

One of these guys came by my gym for a few weeks last year while he was in town. Excellent person and personally witnessing his physical ability was jaw dropping.

I went to high school with the man that flew the chopper that brought Jessica home. Hes our lil small towns hero. Maakes us proud.

I was a PJ from 1969 through 1985...been there, done that. There is Nothing more rewarding in the combat rescue mission than sticking your chest out in the face of the Grim Reaper and then whisper in his hooded ear;" No, No, No . This one is mine and I am taking him home to his family." These things we do so that others may live.

Pjs saved me life in 2016 as a ranger I love these guys

The airforce PJs are the best the airforce has to offer they often get tasked to go in and rescue seals and rangers they also work hand and hand with them as well

I have no words for these "American Warriors", I'm just proud to be an American..!

You should definitely react to Callsign: Pedro, they're Air Force PJ's, but they saved my really good buddies life.

PJs are no joke... “so others may live”

You have a heart of gold as it can be seen through your empathy for others .

During the Vietnam War, of the 19 Air Force Cross awarded, 10 were awarded to Pararescuemen.

" wow, they do everything x2 " ---- and more.... each life they save is an extension of legacy, just think each person and their future children are there because of one act selflessness.

The pipeline for the PJ's is 2 years.. It's sooooooo long compared to other spec ops, it's insane. Seriously though, if I was in a situation where I needed to be bailed out, and saw PJ's coming, I would be the happiest person in the world.

USAF Pararescue are the best of the best. They do what they do so , “That others may live!”

Is it just me or is she like the Finest female you tuber, the accent always gets me😭😍

I've enjoyed my life and have been lucky enough to know that feeling of being able to get that call and make a difference!!!

The “Washout” rate is 90%! WOW!

I met a PJ once. I was in sick call, adino virus outbreak made like 400 of us sick...One was a guy, former Ohio state football player, now PJ..He was one of the nicest, guys, super funny. He told us all about the training they go thru, its wild..They really dont get the respect they deserve..they are super human...

Two years working with and around PJ's was amazing, In Air Rescue, we all wore the patch with the motto, "That Others May Live" pushed us all to do better, be better, and that the sacrifice we made on alert all the time, was well worth it,. I still live that motto today and that was nearly fifty years ago I was in Air Rescue.

My dad was a PJ and served multiple tours in the middle east. Its more than inspiring for me when I find videos like this that really show what he did. 💙🇺🇸

Once again your reaction is priceless and the PJ's are the supermen of first responders that's why I believe the USA has the best military in the world

I was in the USAF and was able to watch the para-rescue guys train. Incredible amount of drive. While I was in basic training in San Antonio, Texas, the towns around our base were flooded. Not only did the PJ's rescue people flooded from their homes they actually rescued several horses from an elderly couple's barn. Had they not the animals would have died. Absolutely incredible human beings. All my respect guys!!!

When PJ's deploy on a rescue it's usually 1-3 individuals doing the actual rescue. They parachute, swim, drive, mountain climb Helicast or insert on foot. PJ's are also embedded with Delta, SEAls (most of the times the SEAL's have a Corpsman)Rangers, Green Berets etc..Every PJ is a certified EMT.

3:51-4:34 was jessica lynch after seals rescued her and delivered her to pararescue... it is why jsoc works so well, they all work together

Courtney out country is going through turmoil these days, but my love love for it never waivers! Watching this videos as well as the others you've shown featuring all the different parts of our military makes me even more proud, not just of our military but the brave men and women that volunteer and make up these special branches! I will be honest with you, had it not been for your videos I wouldn't have known some of these entities existed, so thank you for making me aware! Keep up the awesome work!👍🎸

Yes you made it thank you

React to Navy seals operation red wings

These guys are the best field medical personnel in the US military. They are not those typical combat medics that are trained to the EMT-B level, they are trained to the paramedic level and a combination of many other occupations. Definitely would want to have these guys by your side when carrying out missions.

One of the best videos you have reacted to Courtney and your reaction was perfect too. Stay safe and God bless!!

Dear Ms. Courtney....thank you for highlighting our force. Great job editing and explaining to viewers. Outstanding work on this video all around. Job well done ma'am. - John

May God continue to bless America and her guardians at her door.

When no one else will come to help you, they will.

My uncle who was a LTCOL in the air force was shot down in Vietnam and was rescued by a pararescuse man from a Jolly Green Gaint after 2 days and multiple attempts, he had a severe back injury and could not walk.

I had the distinct pleasure of being a part of the PJ pipeline as an Aircraft Maintainer in the 920th Rescue Squadron, Patrick AFB, FL. The PJ pipeline goes through that base and I got the chance to see their day to day training up close. These guys are some of the most committed, focused, and overall badass Airmen who can do it all. You should what the Discovery series called "Making The Cut" where it goes through the training pipeline for all Special Forces groups including the PJ's. Jump training is intense, especially jumps over the oven with the boat (Zodiac). Salute to the guys with the JOLLY GREEN FEET and the Archangel on their back! - SSgt. Walker

PJ's are trained to do anything because they are able to be sent with any Special Forces team at anytime to go anywhere. Even if they aren't on the initial insert team, they are usually on the QRF. What makes them so unique isn't just the training but the willingness to go regardless of the circumstance. I washed out of the program. An instructor had to stop me because I wouldn't say "I Quit". I was tearing my body apart. He told me I had the right attitude, I just needed to train a little harder and I would be ready. I wasn't able to go back. My shoulder gave up and now I'm an old fat man with a very temperamental shoulder when it rains. I don't regret it. I only regret not finishing.

The reason PJs are my favorite Special Forces is because they are the only ones with a focus on preserving life. Everything else is in support of saving a life (CQB - all the 'cool' stuff)

Just found your channel , really enjoying your videos. Keep up the great work!

PJ’s will save with one hand while fighting with the other. They will bring their comrades home or lay beside them in the ditch. They are specialised at their craft. They are tier 1, often embedded with special forces ranger units, seal units etc. best group of men I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

When I was in the USAF, I got to briefly work with some of our special forces. The PJs were a different breed. I was never the flag waving type, but one PJ asked me, "What does it say about a nation that's soldiers with the longest, most extensive and expensive training are tasked with saving lives?" That always stuck with me.

Ex Air Force here, tried out for the PJ's but not tough enough to swim a mile in 41 degree water right after all the other physical tests.. I did not know I was going to try out before going to basic training. Its okay, I did not make the Air Force Band after trying out either. No one in my group of about 40 that day was accepted into Pararescue, just proud I was in the last two. Air Force not known for bad asses but these guys are that and much more. They are not fighters like SEALs, not even close, but they survive all conditions and rescue Pilots, SEALS, Rangers and civilians whenever they get in trouble anywhere. Every one is trained to near ER or surgical nurse level and has dealt with things regular nurses never will see. Only one out of three came home from Vietnam. Not one I met ever bragged about their capabilities, very humble. I helped them as much as I could on the Flight Line.

Cpl Mark Wright, an elite British Paratrooper, was injured and caught in a minefield after going into it to rescue a wounded comrade. American PJs came in, abseiled down into the minefield and rescued them. PJs did not give a F*** it was a minefield. There's a movie about it on Netflix called 'Kajaki'.

Damn Courtney, I thought I was out of tears for PFC Jessica Lynch, you brought it all back. Just kidding, great to see and reminisce about her!

Pararescue operators (officer and enlisted) are assigned to two types of unit once their training is done: Guardian Angel (most of what you saw) squadrons provide Combat Search and Rescue, abroad and at home. They primarily use helicopters (HH-60G Pave Hawk). They’re on call 24/7. The other PJs are attached to the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, alongside other special operations airmen. Those guys get attached to individual special operation teams during missions. Almost all special operations missions have PJs on the team or standing by. That MSgt Chapman Medal of Honor video had a PJ in it. When the rescue helo arrived, a Senior Airman Jason Cunningham was in it. He was one of the guys initially wounded coming out of the helicopter, but he kept saving others until he died. He received the Air Force Cross for his actions. He is being reconsidered for a Medal of Honor. taskandpurpose.com/.amp/unsung-heroes/unsung-heroes-airman-saved-10-men-burning-chinook

It does get covered much, but PJs and Combat Controllers may be the most versatile SF Operators in the US military. They can be classed as Teir 2 or Teir 1 Operators and run with all branches to include Army Rangers and Delta, Navy Seal Teams and Devgru (team 6), Marine Force Recon and Raiders. And handle almost all environments: desert, mountains, ice and snow, water, jungle, etc.

PJ, Green Berets, Ranger Medics all go through the same medical training at SOCM. We all get tight with each other and respect each other. All Special Forces Medics are Superman 🦸‍♂️.

You said "only 9 out of 10 make it through the training" it's actually 1 out of 10 that make it.

I flew Rescue in the 60’s. PJs were beyond belief even then.

That flag that Jessica Lynch had clutched in her hand was given to her by that PJ that was checking her out. He ripped it off his pocket and told her to hang onto it. PJs are a breed above the rest. William Pittsenbarger was a PJ in Vietnam and was only deployed to pick up wounded soldiers. He refused to leave the battle zone and was killed by NVA soldiers as he defended to the wounded. In Somalia, Scott Fales and Tim Wilkinson set up a casualty collection point in the alleyway where the first Blackhawk helicopter had crashed and treated wounded Rangers throughout the entire battle. Fales was shot in his butt and continued to fight after Wilkinson patched him up. In Afghanistan, Jason Cunningham was mortally wounded on Takur Gahr while the team of Rangers he was with defended their crashed helicopter. They tried to get him medivac'd but because two helicopters had already been shot down, the men he was with were forced to wait for darkness before they could be rescued. He died shortly before they were rescued. Pitts and Cunningham were both in their 20s when they were killed.

Thank you dear. The PJs do some incredible work and dont get or want a lot of credit for it.great reaction thanks again 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

The military does make fun of each other but it’s like a sibling rivalry, there’s little to no bad blood between us, but whenever Spec ops gets brought up in the conversation, there’s a somber feeling about it. When para’s get brought up, there’s nothing but respect when we talk about them, you ask any one of us a question about who we want beside us when the sh*t hits the fan, we all point towards them because they’re Doc and they’re family and they’ll fight to the end just to get to you and save you or bring you back home. (I’m just saying my piece here because I love these guys and what they do)

I used to work for a former PJ he was an amazing person. He talked about his training with a smile and laughed at the things they did in training.

You should react to the coast guard rescue swimmers, or the forest service' smoke jumpers, those guys are insane and some of the bravest, most ballsy ones out there

Jessica the young lady in this piece is/was from my home state of West Virginia. She was taken prisoner of war and treated like crap. But being a West Virginia woman she is tough. She is a school teacher now. Way to go Jess. use that GI bill..... AND their skill-sets are off of the charts. They are EMT - Paramedics with some additional training.

Anyone have a link to the original video? I'd like to send it to someone and can't find it.

I have great respect for any type of medic Ect. One saved my life. Staff Sargent Rick James U.S. Army ( Ret ).

A few days ago, I recommended videos of Max Impact (the official rock band of the USAF). Their video "Send Me", I believe features PJs.

These guys are Lifesavers my heros

I'm a regular 11b. I look at these guys for inspiration. FN savage dudes .

About time someone reacts to these guys. Thank you!

I tried for this while trying to enlist in the Air Force (did not join) and passed the PAST test but was not selected to go through the program. Was a dream of mine, but you got to make the most of it. These things we do, that others may live.

PJs are tier 2 special forces that go alongside other tier 1 and 2 special forces in the Marines, Army, Airforce and navy

Thank you very much for the videos such as this one that sheds light on an elite devision of the USAF that the vast majority of folks in the world have never heard of. You do a great job and I thank you.

A 90% attrition rate, no higher in the world. These guys are so special that they rescue Seals and Delta and SAS operator’s. Enough said.

USAF PJs are all tough as hell. I've met a handful, and they were awesome to talk to. Everyone loves to talk about the Rangers and SEALS, but PJs are definitely in the same league of Special Forces. My hat is off to every PJ out there. I certainly can't do what they do (with ease, no less). Fun side note, I gave a briefing to a PJ team once in a deployed location, and the team lead gave me a PJ poker chip as a way of saying thanks for the briefing, since I was a young airman and I volunteered to give said briefing and answer all of their questions. I have a display case for all of my AF challenge coins that I've gotten over the years, and that poker chip is right out in front.

The pj's have one of the longest military training course, it's about 2 years of training.

Love the vids keep up the work stay safe

I'm with you.This was very educational. Recommendation: Please play videos on soldiers surprise homecomings...very touching!

I love the videos that you check out and I have a suggestion ! I noticed that you are fascinated with aircraft carriers. as someone who worked the flight deck as a yellow shirt I think you should look at a video on youtube called " Trial by Fire a Carrier Fights for life" it is actually a film produced by the U.S. Navy. It is used at the Aviation Fire Fighting School which all flight deck personnel must attend. I do warn that there are parts that are a bit graphic. but I can tell you that all the FUN at the school stops when they see this film and things get very serious very quickly. It shows the dangers inherent on a carrier. and how quickly things can go very very wrong very quickly !!!!!!

Our training is 2 years of pure intensity, followed by constant action and training. I won't say we're better, overall, than other SOCOM groups, just different. We're the absolute best at what we do. They're the absolute best at what they do. While we do have endurance training, like the SEALS, Recon, Rangers, et al, our primary training involves speed and extreme intensity - get in, get it done, and get out. The people we're there for don't have the luxury of time, so we're always on the clock. When our brothers and sisters have given all they have to give, we're there to pick them up, patch them up, and carry them home.

I just want send you a wholehearted and sincere "Thank You!". You have shown more Patriotism and admiration towards the United States Military than a disgusting number of younger Americans have in the past several years. You are a beautiful person both inside and out, and the awe you show during your reaction videos is genuine. It's no secret that many nations despise America as well as it's military, it's refreshing to know that the citizens of our best allies are still behind us. P.S. Check out a movie with Kevin Costner, The Guardian, I believe it's about the Coast Guard but they do the same tasks shown in the above video.

Courtney! Great videos, I have been watching them. Just to let you know, Coast Guard mission is under the Department of Homeland Security and not the Department of Defense, so their missions are in U.S. territory, unsless they are deployed. In that case, they will be under the U.S. Navy.

National Geographic did a series on pararescue it’s called inside combat rescue. That’s where you will see way more procedures and action

These guys did a lot for my city during Hurricane Katrina rescue people along with Navy SEALs also and the Coast Guard

They saved me we in the SOF community. I love these guys they are no joke and are some of the best warfighters out there. They can save and kill at will. Cheers, and thank you from a vet

I guess that's why it's called "Superman School"

Hope you're having a wonderful day Courtney... As always... You look beautiful..! And the cutest facial expressions ever...! 😆

Courtney, proud American here and I love your videos! This one was great! If you want to see U.S. Military power, you should do a video on either the B-52 Bomber, or a U.S. Super Carrier. A lot of videos on both of them, and I think you will be amazed! U.S.A.

The training pipeline is 2 years long. Also the PJ's out of Pope AFB were trained to rescue space shuttle astronauts if the shuttle went down in the water off of Florida.

Jessica did a podcast with one of her rescuers from seal team six andy stumpf. The podcast is called cleared hot.

This is my life now, literally watching some girl from New Zealand react to a video about USAFSOC People.

Nice video. Planning on being in the navy when I'm older ( I know this is the navy) but keep up the good work. Also can you react to the F-35?

I was just talking to a US Air Force Recruiter, recently, and he said he was getting College Grad jocks who were adrenaline junkies that were willing to join the USAF as Airman Basics, not officers, just so they could do Para Rescue, JTACs, etc,. Amazing young men! Kevin- Vet USAF

Reaction to the French GIGN would be nice. One of the most experienced counter-terrorism units in the world.

PJs are some of the baddest motherfuckers in the world, they are in a league of their own!! Love this shit and love all our servicemen and women!!

Hey its alex here again 😆 can't wait till you get bigger cause your getting their. its awesome to 👀 you grow. 🇺🇸

Not sure if there is a video but look up "Smoke Jumpers" Firefighters who are dropped in a area to fight a forest fire

National Geographic channel had a 5 episode if I remember correctly about them of the call they get

There’s a book None Braver by Michael Hirsch about the PJ’s it’s really good

hey there ! love your channel !!

there is a TV show called "Inside Combat Rescue" about these guys... its incredible what they do. Go into a gunfight to rescue the wounded

They have to do it all because what they are training to do is to go in after their patience where somebody is actively trying to kill him most of the time so they're not only have to save their life they have to fight to get you out of there in one piece so they're trained well

My nephew Jason Garcia was seen in that video loading Jessica onto the evac aircraft. I had already retired as a Combat Medic by that time, or I may have been at his side in that mission. I did 25-years... and, yes, would do it all again - only better.

The young woman covered by the flag was Jessica Lynch the US Army soldier who was captured in Iraq then later rescued. An amazing story in it's self.
