This is Hollywood pure and simple. Rarely is there a PJ hanging out in the TOC just to wait on a mission. If they're in there, they're BS'ing. CRO's maybe.
There are some retired crew members that are bugged with how the show was filmed because its heavy "PJ's are the only ones on these missions" emphasis, but the whole point of the show is to highlight the J's not us. I'm cool with it because the show highlights Rescue. Besides, even if it is some Hollywood, the J's are still pretty bad A.
ETA: oh yeah, they never tell us where we're going and how we're going in. Once again it is Hollywood, but 99% of the people won't know the difference. Heck, when I was stationed at Kadena we used to get people that asked us "Are you with that Army helo unit on the other side of the base?" And that was active duty AF, sometimes pilots both of the tanker and fast mover types.
