Product Description:
Known as the PJ's and the CCT's, the pararescuemen and combat control technicians are the elite forces of the United States Air Force. PJ's, whose motto is "that others may live", routinely go in harm's way to bring back downed pilots and crewmembers. CCT's, "first to fight", are responsible to enter hostile territory ahead of the rest and establish safe landing sites for arriving forces. Their self-sacrificing efforts are heroic. Their training is intense, exciting, and before this book, little known. Now for the very first time, their powerful training techniques are brought to light in this profusely illustrated and documented presentation. You've heard of the SEALs. . . . now meet their blood brothers! Includes sections on: stretching, weight training, calisthenics, running, swimming, rope climbing, entrance requirements, plus special dramatic coverage of water survival training, from both above and below the water line!

I used some of the suggestions in this book to help build my own EOD Team's PT workout. There's a bit of a recruitment spin about CCT and PJs, but I was only interested in the workout, not the job-description.

I read through all the reviews before ordering this book & came to the conclusion that either the wrong people are enlisting in the military or people are selecting the wrong Military Occupational Specialty. After about five minutes I had my personal fitness plan custom tailored to my needs.
Where the confusion lies I don't know. Within half an hour all the stretches and exercises were committed to memory thanks to the excellent photgraphs and text.
If anyone buys this ... Read More

This book gives good workouts and lets you know what you need to work up to. The Indoc for PJ and CCT has changed a bit since the book was written, but if you do these workouts get to the level that this book tries to get you at, you will be good to go! I would definately recommend this to any Air Force guy trying to get into Special Ops who doesnt know what kinda workouts to do.

Getting past the obligatory background information on the U.S. Air Force's Special Operators, the CCTs and the PJs, it does a pretty decent job in the presumptive purpose of reading it for most, i.e., physically preparing one for the Indoc and Pipeline courses. The physical conditioning regimen is essentially standard military fare: stretches, high-rep calisthenics, and long distance runs, in varying combinations and repetition schemes. Again, good for it's purpose, as you'll need the ability to push ... Read More

My husband got this and couldn't be happier. It goes through everything in great details. You need this if you are going into the Air Force! The workouts are intense!
