DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. - Navigating over rough terrain is just one of the many skills Air Force Reserve pararescuemen or PJs deployed from Patrick Air Force Base, Fla., proved they excelled in during a weeklong pararescue rodeo competition October 4-10, 2010 in Tucson Ariz. Seven PJ teams throughout the nation were required to navigate through the hot desert during a simulated rescue mission. Other events they competed in required skills PJs must use to perform their job of saving lives. These skills included: free-fall parachuting, shooting, combat movements, medical and navigation. The Florida PJs, Reservists assigned to the 920th Rescue Wing, placed third among the teams. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman First Class Jerilyn Quintanilla)
