For all those PJ/CRO hopefuls out there- a very close personal friend of mine, fellow PJTL and overall good guy TSgt Brian Silva has started "How to Be A PJ". Brian and I were stationed together in England, then Vegas, and now both find ourselves at different ends of the pipeline in AETC as instructors.
His intent is in line with our intent here in the mentor ship, development, recruitment and training of SOF hopefuls, in this case Pararescuemen and Combat Rescue Officers.
He is developing everything you could need on your quest- standards, training advice and workouts, access to a nationwide community of BA hopefuls, and advice from actual PJs and CROs currently working in the pipeline and beyond. I was lucky enough to be invited as a guest on an Instagram live event with him this Wednesday, where we talked about the pipeline from his perspective, Indoc Instructor, and mine, Director of Training at the Apprentice course. He has weekly Q&A Sessions where he answers any and all questions prospective candidates might have. He's planning on uploading the chat from yesterday on his youtube channel soon.
For anyone thinking about Pararescue or Combat Rescue Officer as a career, this is a great resource.
You can find the How To Be A PJ homepage here, his Instagram page here, and his YouTube channel here.
