    An hour with Air Force PJ's Bear and Red

    On this episode we interview two Alaskan Air Force Pararecuemen Bear and Red who tell us their stories of some missions they were sent on. Plus their history, the history of Pararescue and what they are up to now.  Air Force Pararescuemen, also known as PJs, are the only DoD elite combat forces specifically organized, trained, equipped, and postured to conduct full spectrum Personnel Recovery (PR) to include both conventional and unconventional combat rescue operations. These Battlefield Airmen are the most highly trained and versatile Personnel Recovery specialists in the world. Pararescue is the nation's force of choice to execute the most perilous, demanding, and extreme rescue missions anytime, anywhere across the globe. The 500+ PJs are assigned to Guardian Angel and Special Tactics Squadrons throughout the Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Air Force components. They operate most often as independent teams but routinely serve alongside with other US and Allied Special Operations Forces.

    Lost On Crow Pass

    On this episode we are spending time with John Carlos, a man from Panama who had recently moved to Alaska and set out on a 24 mile hike through Crow Pass in mid October. The goal was to finish in one day, things did to go as planned. If you have any questions or comments for us or John Carlos, you can email us at thatswhatalaskasaid@gmail.com or follow us on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thatswhatalaskasaid/ For more information on Crow Pass Hike from Eagle River to Girdwood, AK click here: https://www.alaska.org/detail/crow-pass-trail We would like to first apologize for the quality of the podcast, it was our first one and a learning curve. We promise the next one will be better. Special thanks to John Carlos, who told an amazing story, Josh for making great bike blender margaritas and chatting with John Carlos at the end, DeeDee for helping us navigate through recording and Ross who helped make the original audio sound much better.  And remember Pod It Like It’s Hot.
