Hate to correct you bro but it was an Airforce ANG Jolly green helicopter from the 101st RQS and some PJs were in the back. PJs are a part of Airforce rescue, not the whole thing.
I'm planning to be a Navy Rescue Swimmer when I turn 18, and even though y'all are Coast Guard...this is awesome! The advice is cool too! Thank you guys!
Hey Jeff my daughter is just starting to train for the PST test she’ll take in about 6 months. She’s currently a senior in HS. Any special tips for her?
I just recently got my AIRR contract and am shipping out on Feb. 1st. What helped me pass was working on freestyle swimming everyday and running 3x a week. However, everyone has their own personal weaknesses so if she’s having trouble with pushups/sit-ups she should work on those as frequent as possible in order to get atleast 50. I’m not saying any of this with any authority because I have proven nothing except that I know how to pass a PST consistently but I am just stating my personal experience and how I was able to.
@@tomtheflutist thanks Ryan. It’s the pull ups and push ups I worry about for her. She’s a competitive swimmer and does the 500 regularly. No worries there. Merry Christmas!
@@ljblueskies976Merry Christmas! Also I forgot to mention pull-ups. A lot of people who got good pull-up numbers found an assist machine at the gym helped them.
Great show guys. Just to clarify. It was definitely a Coast Guard swimmer that took took the three survivors off the 32’ sailboat Satori . The Coast Guard swimmer also got some Coasties who’s RIB that was battered apart attempting an earlier rescue attempt from the Cutter Tam. There was also a rescue by the Tam in the same storm of three New York Air National Guard crew members. They had to ditch their H-60’ helicopter which had run out of fuel 90 miles off Montauk. The Tam took four hours to reach them after leaving the sight of the Satori. After two hours Commander Brudnicki of Tam was able to position Tam upsea while rolling up to 110% in the huge waves. Tam then drifted down to the men who were pulled aboard with a scramble net. Sadly they were never able to find the 4th downed H-60’s pararescueman, Rick Smiths. Semper Paratus
Please don't join as AIRR thinking you'll actually save lives. You likely won't. Your job will be as an AWS or AWR which is Aircrew. You will be doing A LOT more then SAR. Very few will ever even come close to getting a save. If you want to actually rescue people, join the coast guard. The Navy does a TERRIBLE job advertising this community. This isn't my comment. i saw a guy say this on a navy AIRR recruiting video
My thoughts exactly..I’ve never seen Navy rescue swimmers in action..I’ve only seen the coast guard in action. I’ve always tried looking for Navy ones but nothing ever comes up.
Dude. You guys read my mind. Literally going thru this process myself considering both rates!!! Thank you!!!
I’m considering the differences too lmao perfect timing
You should go AWR if you get the choice, school is longer but you won’t get stuck flying circles in starboard d on deployment.
Start at 16:20
U R welcome.
@Jeff Jorgensen The Perfect Storm was ANG PJs thats why it was a gray 60 with probe. Their was a CG cutter trying to save them.

It's been 2 years, you get through that pipeline yet?
Love this content. Thank you
What’s funny is the Airforce has the baddest rescue swimmers of them all. Hands down hardest water con belongs to the Airforce.
In the movie The Perfect Storm, they were Air National Guard PJ's.
Is the pay similar?
