Episode notes
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.
