Another PJ hopeful

[Fin109]

Hello all, my name is Fin, and as the title suggests I am a PJ hopeful. I am sixteen years old and currently am in my Junior year of high school. I have recently (past couple months) started to really get serious about this idea, as I realized that I truly am graduating early a year from now. In about a month I went from a 12 minute mile to a 7 minute mile, and have begun to work on building up muscle. My weight training was stalled up until two weeks ago because I had broken my 1st metacarpal bone in an incident. Prior to that, ironically, I was training to become an amateur boxer. I will begin to resume boxing by next month, don't really want to screw up my hand further.


I wish to become a member of the United States Air Force's ParaRescue team for multiple reasons. However the chief reason is definitely the fact that I want to save lives. This seems to be quite literally the most direct way of saving lives, and possibly among one of the most honorable jobs (not trying to say one thing is better than another...) to be had in the U.S Armed Forces. This is what I'm going to do, and I feel if I don't pursue this, I will likely be very disappointed for the majority of my life. I've come to this forum specifically to possible be able to talk to some real PJ's, and get some training advice.

That really sums it up for the most part, thank you for taking the time to read the intro.

Right, thanks. And I have considered my backup plan, don't worry. Mostly just pumping myself up. Yeah through reading I've realized the search function is where its at... You won't need to worry about me making a thread asking about a pipeline fire the 500th time.

Pipeline route* don't know where fire came from...

Humility, a quick thank you for the advice, and trying NOT to come across as a know it all will help you not only on this site, but in life. You may be a stud in HS, but you still really know nothing about the military. Just a little more advice to make your journey into what you state as your chosen profession a little less painful.

Welcome to SS. I'd listen to, and follow the advice @x SF med is passing on to you. Sometimes a simple "thank you" is all you need to say. I wish you luck as you finish up highschool, and begin prep work for your future plans.

To second RF1's advice and to clarify - this is no longer the HS Locker room/cafeteria/gym; those areas are here and you will find them if you look for them, but Intros are intros and topics in specific discussion areas are sacrosanct. You're stating you want to join the big kid's club, time to act like it.

Drive on.
