Description: Send us a textCongrats, you survived the pipeline and think you’ve made it. Spoiler: nobody at your first team gives a damn. In this episode, Peaches and Trent rip the lid off the “career trajectory” nobody tells you about. From being the new guy fetching radios to running a team, dodging AETC orders, and getting stuck in jobs nobody wants (ops shop, anyone?), we break down exactly how fast you go from “student stud” to “old guy with back pain.” We torch the myths, clown on guard bros, debate steroid use in the team room, and even drag the almighty Chiefs’ Group. It’s blunt, funny, and probably the most accurate look you’ll get at life after selection.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro and Nashville OTS plug 02:30 – Gummies, discounts, and random sponsor chaos 05:00 – Parents: stop thinking your kid’s a Navy SEAL 09:30 – Career trajectory kicks off: post-pipeline reality check 13:00 – First assignment: proving yourself, schools, deployments 18:30 – Second assignment: team time, AETC purgatory, broadening 24:30 – Victims of your own success (sorry, Spencer) 28:00 – Third assignment: Tech/MSGt life, team sergeant grind 34:30 – MAGCOM, CFMs, and the bureaucracy circus 39:30 – Senior years: SOCOM, Weapons School, Chiefs’ Group hell 48:30 – Officer track: rinse, repeat, go to school forever 53:00 – Dumb team room arguments and badge drama 55:00 – Steroids, recovery, and castration jokes (yep, we went there) 56:30 – Wrap-up: educational, slightly offensive, but accurate🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Smash that like button 🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the chaos 💬 Drop your career questions in the comments 🌟 Leave us a review if you survived 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership for inside access 👕 Hit the merch store and rep the teamSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY...
