Yeah... it was good information for a while. Anyone know how long the PJ pipe line is? Last time I hear it was two years. Least that is what my brother in law told me. (an air combat controller with 12 years in).

Really? you think pjs actually go on patrol and look for enemy fighters? ya didn't think so. no i don't really care about the army anymore, i'm not in bud.
any military personnel is used poorly as a number. not for any specific reason DERP.
cool story about your agency bro. i know more "basic" 68w, 18yr olds that have performed more medical aid than a paramedic...in a warzone.

I'm not sure of the percentage but its a split between flight based PJs on a helo, and AFSOC PJs that are attached to SOF groups (Think its like 70% to 20% unit wise). It is the latter that actually go on patrol/ground missions, and the direct action stuff. Direct action is not their usual task (CSAR being their main skillset) but if you think PJs are not capable of a DA mission set, you are highly disillusioned.

Thanks! Just looking at that the only two schools he would need to attend are the paramedic course and the PARARESCUE Recovery Specialist Course. Granted that is more than half the pipeline but still only two of 7 needed. Any who... Now I need to keep an eye out for the black helicopters that are coming to get me. Never know if you have said too much...

This is a thread about military MEDEVAC units. No one cares that you were an 11b or "actually fought" at all. I thought the military taught humility but apparently not.

Who ever said anything about PJs going out on patrol looking for enemy fighters? Apparently you not only suck at writing but reading as well...

Military medics are awesome at treating trauma. Put a sick, complex medical patient in front of them and let's see what happens.

I didn't tell you a story about my agency, bro. I told you to tell the guys I work with who are in an NG MEDEVAC unit that they never fly outside the wire or see contact and see how they react.

With all due respect to the whiskeys out there that aren't idiots, congrats, your 18 year old, basic military medics can apply a tourniquet and request a MEDEVAC, which often times is a NG unit. Cool story, bro.

"Any military personnel is used poorly as a number. not for any specific reason DERP" what does that even mean?


No one gives a rat's *** about your combat experience, how many people you killed, how many patrols you went on or how "tough" you are. I deal with vets like you on a daily basis, being in the military doesn't give the right to be a douche bag. You served your country? Awesome, thank you for your service, if I had fractured my neck in high school I would have been over there with you saving your dumbass when you got cocky and got yourself shot. We serve our cities and counties every day at work and you don't see us civilian medics looking for handouts or special treatment because of it. Now get your self-entitled *** out of here.

As the only veteran among the Community Leaders, I pay particular attention to these types of threads. As such, I will not tolerate the disrespect that I see being tossed around in both directions in this thread.

So let me put everyone on notice...

KNOCK IT OFF OR YOU WILL BE THE FOCUS OF MY COMPLETE AND UNDIVIDED ATTENTION AS LONG AS IT TAKES ME TO BAN YOU...
