The Superman Trophy
Make no mistake, the PJ Rodeo is a FIERCE competition testing the skills and endurance of each competitor, while employing the equipment, tactics and procedures used by Pararescuemen on the battlefield, and in harsh and hostile environments at home, and around the world.
All competitors have already been to Superman School and passed. 2-man PJ Teams competing in the PJ Rodeo who take home a trophy, are tip of the spear tough, just like the PJ Rodeo competition. Placing in the PJ Rodeo, is a little like winning the Super, Superman Trophy.
Who’s the Winner?
All PJ Rodeo competitors are winners. Few who apply to become a Pararescueman, finish the selection and training gauntlet. Those who compete at the PJ Rodeo are at the tip of the readiness spear. Don’t think there are any losers… there aren’t. All competitors arrive at the PJ Rodeo as winners, and no one goes home any less of a winner than they arrived. This is a tough proving ground, for the toughest of the tough.
The PJ Rodeo unites the brotherhood, celebrates the courage and commitment of every man that was, and is a Pararescueman…
