Saw the original on the discovery channel. They did a great job of documenting what PJs do, both in peace time, and combat! Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Recognition, August 23, 2001

With so many different videos on SEALS, Delta, Green Berets, Force Recon, etc. it is all to easy to forget that the Air Force has elite units of their own. This video does a nice job of showing what a PJ is, what they do and how they train. The great emphasis is on humanitarian rescue with little on the covert, Combat Search and Rescue/Special Ops missions. With a washout rate of over 70% - higher than any other US elite unit- we get to see just how special these men are. A must for any US special forces collection!

This Discovery channel film is well put together and I would recommend it to anyone looking at entering the Pararescue program. Along with documenting "real life" missions Pararescuemen have encountered, it also shows some footage of the 2.5 years of training you'll encounter before you're officially a PJ. It gives a good representation of the mentality you'll need to succeed in this program, because despite what you might think of the Air Force, this program isn't for the faint of heart. If you're considering becoming P.J. this video is a good one (and likely the only one) for you to check out.
