  • US Air Force Pararescue training - Pararescue Indoctrination Course
    The PJ/CRO Indoc is a nine week course conducted by the 350th Battlefield Airmen (BA) Training Squadron, BA Training Group, 37th Training Wing, AETC.
    Pararescue trainees are required to pass the Pararescue Indoctrination Course at Lackland AFB, commonly referred to as "indoc". Following that is a long string of courses including Combat Dive School, Army Airborne, National Registry for Paramedic, Survival (SERE), and Military Free-fall Parachutist. Upon completing the aforementioned, a pararescue trainee is required to then complete the Pararescue Apprentice Course, which combines all the prior skills and adds a few more. Once a Pararescueman has completed the pipeline, he is assigned to a Rescue or Special Tactics team where he will receive informal on-the-job training. Additionally if a pararescueman is assigned to a special tactics team he will receive additional training along with Air Force Combat Controllers in what is known as Advanced Skills Training.

You will never see PJs at the sea making rescues from ships or submarines. The U.S. Navy has 11 Battle Groups in the world and the PJs are not in it. Nothing to take away from PJ's, they are needed in a war especially on land. In the ocean where the world is 75% water, the fleet has their own rescue force.

    I was in the USAF during the early 1970’s and I remember there was real concerns about the high mortality rate of PJs during the Vietnam War. Downed pilots were used as bait to get the PJs and helicopters into the kill zone and the rescuers knew it. The USAF has lots of safe and cushy jobs, but pararescue isn’t one of them. My utmost respect to them.

A lot of things happened in the last 2 years where I was homeless a few times and dealing with significant mental health issues, so I did lose my motivation. However in the past 5 months I've really turned things around in every aspect of my life and am now graduated early from high school at 17 pursuing my degrees in psychology and criminal justice to hopefully become a homicide detective or criminal investigator. I still use that drive that I had when I wanted to be a PJ to motivate my new plans, and I wish you the best on the path toward becoming one. Things just changed for me in a way where it was no longer possible to maintain motivation much less physical requirements (my meals usually had to consist of what I could get at the dollar store, granted they had a decent selection for $1).

    It doesn't matter which Special Forces unit you try out for... (Or any military unit) it doesn't matter if you're in the Armys' 75 th Regiment, the Navys' SEAL program, the Marine Recon or the Air-Force PJ/CCT. They ALL have strengths and weaknesses that make them Elite American Warriors. What does matter is your motives for doing it. Seeking recognition will lead you to the "drop-out" crowd faster than anything. The REAL heros, usually never tell their story, or have their name published... The PJ should command your utmost respect, because they are doing this to save the fallen. (Not to earn recognition) These guys had absolutely no publicity until very recently, but they (and every other SF unit) are always there... So that others may live... and America remains "the land of the free". Thank You, Service Men and Women of our wonderful nation!

When I was going through basic there was a pair of brothers that had sign up just for this and when they came to our flight and offered try outs to anyone that wanted it. The brothers went and only one got in. Both were in great shape, walking wall of muscles both of them but what got them was stamina. One brother had just enough to make it through the try outs the other didn't. Odd thing was one of the other guys that went to the try outs passed but he just did it just to see if he could and this guy was a smoker and average build but he passed it.

Even if you make it out of Buds you are not a Seal, not close.

They may not have a “combat” role necessarily but it doesn’t mean they don’t have to go through tough shit to get there.

      @@angeloterrones9789 I am no longer active military but I am a federal civilian firefighter working on an Air national guard base. Firefighter really isn't that hard a career field to get into in the military. It gives really awesome experiences plus lines you up for if you want to go to a civilian fire dept once you get out. If you decide to get out.

    I thought I was a badass defender and gave the PJ course a try. Humbled very quickly.

    It's a unique job helping those who are kicking down doors and putting their lives on the line. As a PJ, it's not as glamorous, but certainly more rewarding.

      I’ve heard that you need to run 6 miles in 44 mins as a minimum and swim 2000ms in a certain amount of time. I’ve been training for this and am pretty close, is that truly the minimum to get through the initial venting process?

    I went to NAVY scuba school with two PARARESCUE guys in 1993. I hope they made it through. One of them was named OCHOA.
