I read in a comment in another post that other services' special forces look down on Air Force Para-rescue (PJ's). In your experience do you find this to be true and if yes then why?

No, PJ'S are tough as any! Two things, 1. I as a radio troop in Thailand, I supported the PJ Jolly Greens and Hueys, they were sharp, constantly training, and selfless! And 2. You have to remember the "Most Decorated Soldier" of the Vietnam War was a PJ!
I planned to volunteer as a gunner on AC-130's, though my tour was shortened so I never did, but, when the PJ'S woke me up, returning from before breakfast 10 mile run at 0600, I always felt safe.

That would be William Pitzenbarger. There is literally a Pitzenbarger Hall on just about every Air Force Base

PJs & Combat Controllers... the only people who make the Air Force a military service. NOTHING but RESPECT!

This is so inaccurate....not about the pj’s but that the Air Force wouldn’t be a military service without them.
