As a CRO you will be able to go out just as much as the PJs for at least the first 3-4 years and after that, you will be expected to lead a larger number of personnel, and will not be going out as often.

Obviously saving lives, as well as being the guy in charge of the team and the aircraft. It was a privilege and an honor to have such responsibilities placed in my hands at only 26 years old. I also loved the travel and the fact that every day on the job was different and exciting.

 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.
