has anyone noticed the caption is a little off? there is one navy guy on the collar next to the hatch. the other two guys're air force, probably parajumpers. notice on the zodiac on the right side of the picture is marked with 'USAF Rescue'. same thing is stenciled on the left arm of both wetsuits on the guys standing at the heat sheild. 71.136.247.219 (talk) 04:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Also, the original article says they were USAF: [[1]] Fustigate314159 (talk) 22:49, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected the text, with the names of the three U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen who completed a parascuba jump to the Gemini VIII spacecraft. The U.S. Navy did not arrive until over an hour after the Pararescuemen (PJs) jumped into the Pacific from an aircraft. I believe these were members of the 33rd Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron stationed at Naha, Okinawa, but they may have been on TDY (temporary duty assignment) in support of the Gemini VIII mission out of Japan. John C. Ratliff, former USAF Pararescueman, who was trained by then SSGT Eldridge Neal in 1967. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yaquinaguy (talkcontribs) 00:48, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
