Army recruiters are by far the worst. Others might stretch the truth but nothing like the Army.

Remember black hawk down?
Remember the medic that was running between the two pinned down groups of Rangers?
That was an Air Force PJ
Delta operators and PJs were the only people doing anything during that Charlie Foxtrot

If he went into the Air Force flying planes, would that give him a pretty good chance of becoming a pilot for UPS?

Join the Air National Guard and stay at UPS. You can end up with two pensions. If you invest every penny of your guard pay you could end up with three.

Prarescue selection and training is arguably the toughest (physically and mentally) in the military. And it should be and was meant to be because of the nature of the job. To rescue the best and fight with the best you need to be the best.

Maybe not "the" toughest but no doubt near top of the list.

For me it started out as a simple question the second day of basic, "Anybody here change their mind and decide they'd rather be a hero?"
Too bad I was a fatty who couldn't run 2 miles fast enough at that point. Really ticked me off that in had shaved that time off less than two weeks later but they weren't asking anymore.
A lot of PJ wash outs showed up at the jail house. You always knew who they were because they had their names stenciled on the front of their BDU under shirts. You'd think it would be a thing of honor because they got to try but it always seemed like it was a big scarlet letter.

You volunteered to go to Vietnam? You could actually "step off"?
When I graduated just being in college kept you out of the pool and I was in college when I was 17.
The stories my friends brothers told about being there would've messed my mind up had it been me.

Not ever detail but the basics, yes. Very difficult job.
