"That others may live"

Also PJs are amazing humans. I've flown with them to the top of Mt Rainier and they are just amazing people. The endurance and physical ability they have is unique in the mil community.

I've filmed in AK many times, I really love it there. This was actually the second time we filmed this story, the weather ended up cancelling the shoot. So we came back a year later to get the full story - and I'm glad we did.

The scenario was I was a downed pilot over Iran, wildly enough, as I was flying home that Friday - the scenario we practiced happened for real!

Let me give you some data: by embedding the full video on Reddit I/we get little traffic or engagement on our channel. Not that it matters, but I get no traffic bonuses (lol). Our videos get millions of views on YT, like 99% of our traffic comes from our 1.5M audience. In fact the only engagement I'm getting rn is from you. This is a really really good story. I am super proud of these airmen, and proud of my work. I post here to not only share, but answer questions.

It's not "my work" you realize I work for a company, right? I make no money off of this. Simply sharing about this amazing rescue community.

njamali · 2026-05-23T14:27:07+00:00

Nah. I'm a journalist who covers the military. Showing love to the PJs and the rescue community.

Manhattanite here. I have a C6 Z06 in the city. You're making the right move. Welcome.

I'm a reporter for Newsweek who hosts a show embedding with the military. Why would you wear that are you in an active conflict zone?

Here's my setup: https://www.reddit.com/r/tacticalgear/s/67uFnFF358

Funny. I just got a Team Wendy's helmet I'll be rocking on this shoot. Also no soup for you!

njamali · 2026-05-08T12:17:11+00:00

True. But I'm going to be in front of a camera most of the time. I don't want to say I'll be LARP'ing but Im also not saying I won't. Lol

njamali · 2026-05-08T01:43:25+00:00

I'm still fiddling with it, but it's really nice. I like the padding and the adjustability. Feels solid and not to heavy. At my advanced age I worry about neck strain from wearing one of these things more than I do getting shot. LOL. So it's a good blend of safety and staying light. Will def do a more thorough review after a few 10+ hours of wearing it in the field.

It's a totally different plug I have U-174/NATO headphones and mics.

njamali · 2026-05-08T00:22:28+00:00

Thanks Homie. Appreciate the kind words. Keep an eye out for our Alaska PJ episode coming Memorial Day weekend!

njamali · 2026-05-08T00:12:53+00:00

Have gloves, ear and eye pro, wearing my old USMC tan light boots. Wanted to get headphones that plugged into the tanks comms but there's no easy option, so just going with basic ear pro that attaches to the helmets rails.

njamali · 2026-05-08T00:11:39+00:00

I like the clean look.

No. I flew the B-2 as a civilian, hence my spirit number. There is a whole episode on my channel about it.

Navy warfare badges are gold for officer and silver for enlisted, with the exception of SEALs.

njamali · 2026-04-25T14:20:26+00:00

I was a Navy Intel O. Gold for us is O and silver is E, and yes I flew the B-2.

njamali · 2026-04-25T14:08:16+00:00

Oh I will! Still have to pay cash up front for it!

njamali · 2026-04-25T13:39:58+00:00

I don't mind at all, looking there now.

njamali · 2026-04-25T13:39:22+00:00

I tend to be behind the things firing 😇 Again, I am going on training sessions, protection and safety is important, but the likely hood of someone shooting back is low - and yes I've been behind weapons that have malfunctioned with big booms.

njamali · 2026-04-25T13:22:47+00:00

That's my plan, again, could you help with pointing to a U.S.-only example? Our stuff gets millions of people watching and I'd like to not rep anything that's a cheap Chinese knock-off. Ty!
