How does Combat Control training compare to Pararescue training and do the CCTs have Hell Night and is one easier than the other and is it correct that both have around a 90 percent attrition rate?

Answer 1

my bro is in pararescue (pjs) but did look at combat control (cct). the only major difference is the job its self cct is an ordnance deployment force ( aka they call in airstrikes) cct also is more under JSOC (joint special operations command) than pjs because cc works with seals and recon units as well as many others while pjs are mainly a all air force position unless you are trasford under JSOC. as for pjs they are a (and i say this very lightly) medics but under the Geneva convention medics are not able to carry firearms so the consider themselves combat paramedics. this job is ecspeally good if you don't like politics to be involved in your job because your man mission is to provide life saving medical attention to the wounded. as it goes for the training and how hard it is it is almost the same until you get into their specific Field's. each will go through a orientation course and a diving coarse but that is pretty much it cct resacves more tactical tranning due to their need to be joined with another special mission unit. and pj focuses on life saving techniques. but in Hines sight they are both the same challenge no matter what.
