How do PJ’s get assigned to Special Tactics Squadrons rather than Rescue Squadrons. My eventual goal is to be in the 24th STS.
You just put it on your assignment list, and make sure you’re a good candidate. The 24th STS has an additional selection. But to be honest you need to focus on becoming a PJ first. The 24th is a long ways away.
Do the PJs that get attached to an ODA or seal team through STS get extra training like weapons and tactics etc?
All PJ units have every type of gun, to include pistols , machine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, and grenade launchers. You will be trained on all of them and also how to shoot a 50 cal machine gun out of a helicopter. STS units focus a little heavier on tactics.
