The PJ Association is founded on the distinctive relationship among men in the Pararescue career.

Our members share the bond and spirit of the Pararescue brotherhood.

The Association provides the initiative and resources to promote special events and activity, and to document the history, heritage and legacy of USAF Pararescuemen.

Contribute

With active engagement and participation from members, we remember those who came before us.  We demonstrate respect and recognition for those at the tip of the spear in global missions of humanitarian aid and the war against terror, as we help to shape the future of Pararescue with our collective and experienced vision.

It is to this mission and fraternity that we have organized the PJ Association.
