À propos de cet audio
The epic memoir of an Alaskan pararescue jumper, Special Forces Operator, and decorated war hero.
"That Others May Live" is a mantra that defines the fearless men of Alaska's 212th Pararescue Unit, the PJs, one of the most elite military forces on the planet. Whether they are rescuing citizens injured and freezing in the Alaskan wilderness or saving wounded Rangers and SEALs in blazing firefights at war, the PJs are the least known and most highly trained of America's warriors. Never Quit is the true story of how Jimmy Settle, an Alaskan shoe-store clerk, became a Special Forces Operator and war hero. After being shot in the head during a dangerous high mountain operation in the rugged Watapur Valley in Afghanistan, Jimmy returns to battle with his teammates for a heroic rescue, the bullet fragments stitched over and still in his skull. In a cross between a suicide rescue mission and an against-all-odds mountain battle, his team of PJs risk their lives again in an epic firefight. When his helicopter is hit and begins leaking fuel, Jimmy finds himself in the worst possible position as a rescue specialist - forced to leave members from his own team behind. Jimmy will have to risk everything to get back into the battle and bring back his brothers.
From death-defying Alaskan wilderness training, wild rescues, and vicious battles against the Taliban, this is an explosive special operations memoir unlike any that has come before and the true story of a man from humble beginnings who became an American hero.

Awesome insight
An amazing look into the intensive training that US PJ's go through just to join the team. And a very engaging story about failure and persistence in the face of that failure.

Heavy on the Training
This book was well written, and very well narrated. The flow was good but the speaker really kept me engaged. Overall, it was not quite what I thought it would be.
Typically one may think of a book like this to be maybe 50% of training, 50% real world experience. Nope. I'd say a solid 80% of this was entirely spent on the training he went through to become a full on PJ. This may be fine for some readers. There is a lot to it, after all. The reader will learn a lot on the process and what it takes to become one of these elite individuals. It is not a snoozefest by any means.
After a while, though, I found myself wondering how he would find the time to talk about anything else. He eventually did, and maybe the balance was in the few hours spent on tough training, and then the minutes spent on a couple super intense situations.
That is my take on it. I'd recommend it. Just know that it is big on the training, and you will not hear much from the real life events.

Amazing!
Fantastic book, and a testament to the endurance and sheer will of the human spirit. As a military member myself, I have the utmost respect for all those in the SAR trade. Read/listen and enjoy, you won't be disappointed.

Sort of okay.....
This book is mostly about his training which is disappointing. Only the last 1.5 hrs is about his life as a PJ. One thing, his life as a PJ was cut short by injury. In these kind of books, the author always write about his (tough training) which I don’t doubt, but this one takes it to a whole new level which takes up way too much of this book.
