I do not work for National Geographic.... nor any advertising company.

If you think you work in high pressure situations with crappy resources and terrible conditions....... or just love really cool s**t....

You need to be watching "Inside Combat Rescue"

The series so far is on Youtube.

I would love love to chat with one of these dudes if we could ever get one on the forum.

The series is great, it's cool seeing them do their work out in Kandahar city. Sad how often the 50cal got bent and they had to pull out the SAW though.

Have you seen the Pararescue edition of "Surviving The Cut"?

I wouldn't say they got tough conditions. Yes it is a war zone, but those are some of the best trained and best equipped medics on the planet. The training to be a PJ is 2 years. They are a part of the airforce but can be attached to other special forces teams regardless of branch.
