PFC Mckinney,

I was never a PJ, but you can probably connect with a PJ here on Rally point. Just go to Advanced settings. Choose Air Force for the branch and 1T2X1: Pararescue for the skill. There are approximately 33 PJ's- active and veteran- listed under 1T2X1: Pararescue.

I wish you all the best in you future endeavors.

Here is something I got from a quick search. SpecialTactics.com can be a great resource. I used to pull info about Kettle Bell workouts off of there.

You should email stew smith. He is an ex USN SEAL and has workouts as well as academic knowledge of many courses including USAF Pararescue. He is a super personal guy who is down to earth. Google his name. I emailed him before RASP and he got back to me within a day. Even though he has a business and seems like a busy guy, he makes time to get back with you.
Hope this helped.

How’d you do Bryan? I see that it’s been 3 years. My boy is in tech school for PJ now, but overworked before joining and has some stress fractures in both tibias so is in PT to work through it, slowing his movement further into the Pipeline by a few months. He is loving every stinking second though!
