I am watching the first episode. I know it is late but did I just see a mustache painted on a helicopter. Also instead of an alarm to scramble the crews to the helicopters they play "Leeroy Jenkins" really loud over a speaker?

If you watch the first episode again wait until the shift change at about the 35min mark. Leeroy Jenkins is played just before the crews run to the helicopters. Intense ending.

im extremely conflicted about it even bein on. on the one hand... its a look into the hell these guuys go through... on the other.. its one hell of a cringe worthy and intimate moment to try and make a buck on.

Yes, they play Leroy Jenkins. I don't see why people make a deal out of this. I can only imagine doing what they do and putting up with the stress. I trust in God that they have some relief, and frankly couldn't care less what they respond to as long as they do their job (which I know they always will). One of my best friend's brother is in the PJ pipeline. Those guys are what allow the rest of us to have some peace of mind.

Work hard/play hard. I think it is a great idea to build unity. The mustache on the helicopter is great also. I agree with the previous posters comments on exploiting these guys for a buck. I just hope the show sheds some light on the difficult jobs that are done without credit or fanfare.
A medic must be one of the most mentally challenging jobs. My thoughts and prayers to out for these guys along with the rest of the people who keep America safe.

People are making a big deal of it because they think it's funny, not because they're offended. Lighten up a little.

PJ's are more than medics. they are THE lifesavers of those where no one else can get them. they are the only military unit in the country that operates out of pure humanity.

they really do live by the motto: That others may live.

Has anyone been able to find the full episode online?

The mustache is for Pedro, which is the standard AOR callsign for CSAR.

Only saw a few minutes of it but PJ's are hard corps and generally really good dudes.

was watching that last night and thought I heard a computer-generated "Scramble Scramble Scramble Scramble" when they loaded up.

As far as the PJ's being exploited, the few I know personally seem to have been pretty enthusiastic about the show - talking it up on facebook and the like

Are you saying they are making money from the show or are you talking shit about the profession they choose? Please explain.

Edit. I think you may be talking about Nat Geo. Am I right?

PJ's always have my respect. many years ago as a USCG helo flight mech I worked with some in Alaska. Good guys, did all we did plus did it in combat. It was a challenge enough to do helo rescue in storms, hard to imagine doing the same with bullets flying at you. A couple of our pilots were former Jolly Green drivers in Viet Nam, excellent pilots. Haven't seen the show yet but will catch it soon.

I was in a carbine class with a couple of those guys.
It was humbling to say the least. Relly nice helpful guys also.

ETA not the guys in the show

It's tough (I was one for 11 yrs) that's for sure...
I couldn't imagine doing it under fire or the stress those guys experience every mission.

It's still on my DVR. Haven't gotten around to watching it.

Local kid is on the first episode...from my alma mater too: http://www.ledgertranscript.com/home/4484972-95/hansen-rescue-national-force

As a guy who was aircrew for 10 years, PJs don't buy beer around me; I buy those guys beer.

I got to work with some PJs a couple of times on training missions, and those guys are the shit.

Its from MiRC (combat chat rooms). When certain words pop up on the screen it triggers certain "ringtones"

Whenever JDAM would pop up on ours it gave a audience clapping sound. We has others as well like a "alert" would give a siren.

ETA IB sylvan telling us the AF is shit at CSAR/medvac.

Sad its only a 6 episode run.

Its a good show and those guys arent talked about enough. Genuine all around badasses.

I liked the first episode and will watch the rest, the ending of the show was tough to watch

We have at least one PJ here.

Those guys have my utmost respect.

Caught the first episode last night. Nothing but respect and admiration for those guys.

I couldn't do what they do, not because of the danger, the physical requirements, not because of the blood and guts or anything regarding killing the enemy. I couldn't do it because it would shred me emotionally. Seeing your brothers die and or become permanently maimed while on my watch, and me not being able to save them every time would fuck me up.

If I had a family back home that would make it 10x worse. I would break down and lose my shit.

I am usually never emotional about things that don't directly affect me or my family, especially something that is not happening right in front of me, but when that medic was loaded on the chopper and his squad was kissing him goodbye and then him begging for pain meds I teared up like a mother fucker.

Yeah, I don't know how those guys come back to the real world, hats off to them.
