On episode 5 of the Late Night History podcast Aaron Love joins the show to discuss the history of US Air Force Pararescue Jumpers or PJs. Outside of the US military, the general public largely believes the Air Force consists of just pilots, but Aaron and I discuss how the PJs have been instrumental in every military operation since the Vietnam War. Some highlights include how PJs deploy to combat zones, as humanitarian relief, and even in support of NASA; more fascinating food escapades while working with partner units overseas; the history of their beloved mascot "Charlie The PJ"; and much, much more!
Aaron also has a podcast called Ones Ready (@onesready) where he and other special operations professionals dispel myths and provide training tips for those young bucks looking to enter the career field.
