If i could do it again, i'd probably join the Air National Guard. My buddy is a Para-jumper and they go all over the world. He's done crazy sea rescues and did 2 tours in Iraq rescuing downed aircraft.
Here's his unit:

Here's a blurb of him:
"
After searching the sea, a survivor was spotted by an helicopter crew member and the two HH-60s prepared to put a pararescueman in the water to save him. TSgt. James Dougherty jumped into the water and retrieved the last living member of the crew."
