Never Quit

How I Became a Special Ops Pararescue Jumper

De: Jimmy Settle, Don Rearden

Narrado por: Ramon De Ocampo

“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 some of 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 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 save his brothers.

From death-defying Alaskan wilderness training, wild rescues, and battles against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, this is the true story of how a boy from humble beginnings became an American hero.

Great Story Line & Narrator Had Loads of Emotion

Great story about how the journey was to make the PJs after enrollment / enlistment.

Gripping and Adrenaline Packed

I first read this book on paper, and the audio book is just as good. It is a very inspiring book about how to always press on, even in the face of opposition.

Adrenaline packed, trials, hardships, and inspiration

This book, encapsulates the PJ/CRO motto “that others may live”. The story of this PJ and his challenges throughout his journey in becoming a PJ is such an inspiring, motivating, and eye opening. A true book that doesn’t just say never quit, but illustrates it.
