The Weirdest, Dirtiest And Wildest Jobs In The Military

Pararescue

Pararescuers are considered one of the most elite units in the military. They are experts in combat and providing medical assistance. They are sent on the most dangerous and demanding rescue missions in the world. If an airman is captured or wounded, a pararescue jumper must locate and bring him or her to safety as fast as possible, no matter what the terrain or the hostile conditions may be. They go into areas that are in full combat, have catastrophic weather conditions, and disaster zones. They go on rescue missions in water, desert terrain or Arctic conditions. The training to become a pararescue jumper is very intense, and many never complete it.
