About this episode
Jason Sweet isn't like other PJ's. As a members of Air Force Special Warfare, Pararescue Specialists (PJ's) are directly responsible for the rescue and medical treatment of downed military personnel all over the world. And saving lives is only a part of his service record - Jason also spent a spell in Afghanistan, roomed with his own father while he was at boot camp, and even played on special teams for University of Arizona Football. Nowadays he's running an elite Special Operations training program called SOCOM Athlete, merging his knowledgebase with other professionals from different arms of the military to train America's next generation of warriors. But to hear where he came from, you might be surprised to see how far he's come. ---------- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 02:26 - I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist 09:39 - Waking Up at 3:45am 17:12 - A Small Town in the Desert 23:04 - You Have What's Called 'Deadarm' 36:05- Training for Parajumping 51:33 - SEALS vs PJ's 01:07:58 - HALO School, EMT Certified 01:12:56 - Surprise, Dad's My Roommate 01:20:27 - Aghanistan to Pakistan 01:35:36 - High Ops - The Casualty Evacuation Platform 01:39:09 - Mission #0427 - Alpha ---------- Support Jason Sweet - SOCOM Athlete: https://www.socomathlete.com/ SEND ME Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fQDggSL1oCS22ZLa0mo9e Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorsweet51/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SOCOMAthlete LinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/5n6n5ebj ---------- Sponsors: MUD/WTR Go to https://www.mudwtr.com/mike to support the show and use code MIKEMUD for 15% off! ---------- BioProtein Use code MIKEDROP to save $30 on your first order at https://www.bioproteintech.com ---------- BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.
