The Fat Electrician Reviews: PJ'S (pararescue)

Makes me wonder how Trump isn't hanging from a tree with the comments he's made about vets.

My best friend from childhood is a retired PJ. He did something like 12 years active duty, then "retired" to be a coast guard rescue swimmer lol. Did that for a few years and now he is that unsuspecting flannel shirt guy helping his kids with their 4H animals. Point is don't mess with the quiet guy in the corner, he just might kill you, and then bring you back to life just to prove a point!

For a channel ostensibly about American badassness, this is the closest to seriousness and reverence I've seen so far. And that speaks volumes.

special place in my heart for these guys, they came in and medevac'd me in africa almost 20 years ago. Worked on me during the flight back. Special thanks to them and the Naval surgeons and medical staff that followed.

I kinda wanna see a full video on this like how did the pjs come about. Who are their main characters ect

Based off my time in, if anyone can call a ranger or a seal a bitch. It’s a pJ.. that might be entirely due to budget. They fought the real war just sayin.

wow

Thank God I didn’t personally meet a PJ when deployed. Ya they will bring you home, alive if at all possible but dead if that is the only option, but if you meet them deployed that means you are in pain. I got to know a few when out of the service. These guys are BAD ASS

To hear your voice change got to my heart. Thank you. I was ... never mind.

Damn, please do an in-depth video, or series on PJs!

I think you should also add to that the fact that the Air Force tends to have a different attitude towards pilots that which the Army or USMC have towards ground pounders. Army and USMC be like we need some more meat. The Army and USMC is like Aight! The AF is like "Phuuk the metal, the machine will just excrete another cuz murika. And it will be shinier! Save the meat, we just spent a trillion hours training this guy so take some meat out there and recover the pilot alive if at all possible. We do not want to spend another trillion hours training up the next guy. that would be an inconvenient waste of our time!"

Soooo..... Supermedics by the sounds. That is super fucking cool🙂

Freedom fractions 😂

You should redo some of your earlier videos in the long form content !!!!!

It's funny, with your level of beautiful sarcasm, I would have thought you were a NJ native. I was stunned to learn you are from Iowa where I attended the U of Iowa. I could see how you might be lonely where you live as people in Iowa did not appreciate sarcasm like they do here. Keep Rocking!!

PJs have harder training than TIER 1 units like CAG

They never go in unless it’s clear. I’ve seen regular Medivacs fly in on documentaries that went in under heavy fire. Meanwhile the doc on these PJs would wait until it’s safe and have 2 Apaches with them

I'm not crying...

The 3 baddest in the Air Force, no particular order….
PJ, CC, and the hogs.

I worked for 3 years in border security in Israel. 80% of the armed security in that border were from unit 669, the IDF equivalent of US PJ's, these men were built different. I'm not sure Pararescue soldiers are even the same species as grunts.

In the MCU, Sam Wilson (aka Falcon, aka the 2nd Captain America) was a PJ in the 58th Pararescue, before he became a VA counselor and met Steve Rogers.

Speaking of such things since your covering pj's can u cover Chapman. He's the pj who got MOHs in a single mission postumaslly.

Thanks. We did it because it needed to be done.

You are so good at this. I had to play this for my wife, because i used your phrase this is the 911 for seals and green berets, and she asked me how come. Having been a medic in the USAF i knew of these men. Shes an addict now and wants to hear every episode whenever I do. Turn a couple history teachers on our family on to you. You won them over. Thank you brother. Ps, you have a lovely brown wife like I do. I will never get tited of your work. The toys for tots episode is the one I play for everyone FIRST.

hardest ,MOS ever!

The respect tier 1 guys have for them palpable when you watch interviews with someone who either was injured, or had a buddy injured.

So I'm doing a book and the main character was blown up in a ship, and crushed under a ton of metal, as a royal guard and one of the best, after taking the wreckage off of him, barely alive multiple burns, crushed bones and multiple damaged organs, in the book he's reported to have died 20 times and reviewed each time while being airlifted to a special hospital, after that his left leg and right arm were replaced by robotics including his left eye, the bombing would start a intergalactic war and he would become the commander of the infamous 13th Death Brigade or known by the enemy as The Devil's Brigade with a entire field army at his command, but his death would prove that, despite not being born on that world he was still willing to sacrifice his life for his men, it was 15,000 against 200,000 enemy soldiers, he told his men that those willing to stay they would hold the line at all costs and all 15,000 stayed to defend a planetary evacuation with only a handful of operational titan mechs and 5 tanks with blown out tracks or unable to move anywhere with half the 8 man crews

It's cool to hear an air force story that doesn't make them sound like desk jockeys.

My son was in the Army 2007-2011. He said that there was a medic that was a doctor before he enlisted. Just so you understand the type of people that guard you.

I served 23.5 years in uniform retiring in 1995 having worn 3 uniforms.

I know one who encountered an insurgent who got the drop on him . The bad guy pulled the trigger only to find his weapon empty. My pal had his m4 and could have dropped him then and there. The baddie then draws a knife so our guy pushes his carbine off to the side on his sling, draws his own knife and dispatches the enemy. My friend said it didn't seem fair to shoot him....

TOML

I’m a fire service paramedic for Philadelphia fire dept and we get Pj’s to help train for there medical portion and they are some of the most bad ass guys I know !

Speaking of the SEALs calling for help,look up the Seawolves,the helicopter squadron devoted to supporting PBRs & SEALs.

Doc: Saves a grunt from Death

PJ: Steals the grunt back from Death

I have the pleasure of meeting a lot of these guys at lackland, complete badasses but some of the nicest dudes I've ever met

"We die in the dark so you can live in the light." Foundation Motto for MTF units. It sums up their lives perfectly. And by God do they make sure that the lives they save see that light. "These things we do, That others may live" PJ motto. God speed Pararescue.

Just their motto. So another may live. That fucking hits different.

I'm trying to figure out what it was my grandpa did during Vietnam. He definitely wasn't this because he didn't do medical, but he did talk about finding downed pilots. But, he also talked about making runways in the middle of the jungle. I don't know if he was getting mixed up, but he talked about making runways for F-18's; they didn't officially enter service until 1978. He was listed as a cryptologist and I have a copy of one of his awards for his work in that field. Also talked about going with teams in vans loaded with crypto equipment into Laos. He also mentioned that he couldn't pass the swim test to be a frogman. He had been a Marine during Korea, Air Force after that contract until retirement.

If anyone has any clue, I'd appreciate it. There's a lot of shit all over the board.

Yup they some badasses lol

Makes me tear up every time. I hate our gov but I will always love our military personal 🫡

🤓: um acktually the Airforce would be specialized in CPR because they have the PJ’s

I saw a documentary about Airforce PJs once. I cant remember where the unit was stationed. But wherever it was, whenever they had to go out on a mission, an alarm would blare that was literally the LEEROOOY JENKINS meme. 😂

If I remember correctly a PJ was the first casualty of the Afghanistan War, covering the six of some Special Ops guys on their way to exfil

These guys are like the same thing as a Bombing Raid. Buuuuut the Bombs return to be deployed again.

This needs a part 2

Was on base in the Bahamas fishing it was about 9 in the evening seen a group of guys paddle up in a black raft and ask is the cat island said nope andros poor poor PJ got lost and had to paddle ALOT 😂

FE check out 17K/96R Military intell 365 nights a year border patrol in Germany and Korean DMZ. First to see first to die.

Thats who i want to be.

This one gave me chills
