Peaches breaks down why attributes matter in Special Warfare selection, how every exercise ties directly to the job, and why candidates must show raw potential—not just speed on a run. He also dives into tank gunnery in Bulgaria, airborne night navigation, Navy refueling ops, Coast Guard rescues, Space Force silence, and a Silver Star story that actually deserves attention.

Peaches calls out the clown show of inventing a “course creed” no one asked for, roasting the mystery officers who clearly typed it up between PowerPoint slides.

And instead of folding, he rebuilt himself into a SWAT enforcer, gang-unit problem-solver, and CrossFit machine. Kody breaks down the moments that rocked him, the honesty that saved him, and the mindset that pulled him out of a 250-pound fog and back into the fight.

Send us a textBuckle up, Ones Ready fam—Aaron and Trent dive headfirst into the clown show of Democratic lawmakers (all ex-military or intel vets) dropping a cringy, scripted video urging service members to ditch "illegal orders." Spoiler: They're gaslighting the ranks with zero specifics, just vibes. Trump fires back calling it sedition punishable by death (he got the penalty wrong, but the charge? Spot on). We break down the real deal—sedition's 20 years, treason's the death penalty stuff like Milley's China stunt. Hot takes fly on media narratives, the Tweedledee-Tweedledum incitement defense, and why defying orders could land you in Leavenworth if you're wrong. No sugarcoating: Politicians are trash, oaths matter, and this is how civil wars brew. If you're in uniform, listen up—we're calling out the hypocrisy from Jason Crow's Jan 6 cowardice to Biden's vaccine mandates.

From COVID reinstatement madness to commanders who rubber-stamp illegal orders and still get promoted, Peaches unloads on the Air Force’s “do as we say, not as we do” culture. Trent breaks down why officers obsess over year-groups like it’s astrology, why reinstated members get screwed, and how the Pentagon avoids accountability like it’s a PT test.

Send us a textAlright, slackers—Peaches drops your daily dose of military reality on November 20th, no sugarcoating, just the gritty facts. He breaks down special warfare selection like it's a bad date: show up with the raw goods or get ghosted. Plugs the Operator Training Summit because apparently you need Taylor Starch to teach you not to wreck your knees while pretending to train. Then it's Apache love—10th Mountain's new toys for terrain domination, Poland live-fires extending kill range because why not? Army's vaccine U-turn lets ex-officers herd back the mandate rejects; Navy's got a fancy new destroyer for whatever "multi-mission" means this week. F-15Es playing long-range from Diego Garcia, F-35 export drama stirring Middle East pots, record Somalia strikes zapping terrorists in "self-defense." Space Force promos (yawn), Coast Guard's drug hauls and flood heroics—oh, and they might not actually have swastika issues, but who knows? Peaches mocks crayon-eaters, geeks on aviation, and chuckles at Trump shutting down a reporter with "quiet little piggy."

Aaron drops the mic with a jailhouse tale involving littering (yes, really), an angry Ohio cop, and a court date just days before shipping to Lackland. They torch the idea of stolen valor and the performative milfluencer scene, and Trent calls out the “no true Scotsman” nonsense that infects veteran one-upmanship.Oh, and they both agree: if you’re using “retired” to feel better than someone with a med board—get over yourself.

From chasing suspects to coaching CrossFit, Chris doesn’t sugarcoat how being out of shape in uniform isn’t just lazy—it’s dangerous.They get brutally honest about law enforcement culture, the myth of “less aggressive policing,” and why your command presence might be the only thing keeping someone from pulling the trigger.

Coming straight off the Nashville event, they pull the curtain back on what really happens when 40 candidates, a handful of coaches, and a mountain of gear collide in one turf-covered facility.Peaches dishes on how sleeping indoors, training for 11 hours in the pool, and running the dreaded 10-ups turned chaos into confidence. Trent talks logistics, lessons learned, and how every OTS somehow tops the last. Together they lay out what’s coming next—Vegas, Europe, and maybe a few surprises along the way.Then the gloves come off as they shift from pool decks to policy: leadership gone soft, PME that teaches nothing, and a culture allergic to accountability.

Send us a textIn this unfiltered members-only solo rant, Jared wrestles with the never-ending Tim Kennedy drama—because apparently just being a Green Beret and UFC fighter wasn’t enough for the guy. With fake valor awards, bogus war stories, and a book full of stolen valor sauce, Tim Kennedy’s credibility is in free fall. But here's the twist: do we keep crushing him, or is it time to circle the wagons and offer a redemption arc?Jared takes you behind the scenes of the veteran influencer world—calling out the hypocrisy, wrestling with his own moments of public misrepresentation (yep, even at a graduation), and pushing back against the idea that every screw-up deserves permanent exile. He shares real stories of leadership, PTSD, and the difference between isolating and insulating someone who’s fallen off the rails.Snarky, reflective, and brutally honest—this is what happens when you're tired of the internet outrage cycle but still believe in accountability.🔥 Key Takeaways:Tim Kennedy lied. A lot. And got caught.His defenders? Friends, influencers, and the veteran bro-sphere.Ostracizing vs. insulating: which path actually helps the community?Redemption doesn’t mean erasing consequences—but it does require a door left open.Jared shares a real-world example of insulating a struggling teammate—and why it paid off.Even decorated warriors can spiral.

In this episode, he tears into the latest “motivational masterpiece” that the Air Force somehow thought needed to exist. Spoiler: it sounds like ChatGPT wrote it after watching too many recruiting commercials.Between roasting the wannabe warrior poetry and showing love for the real grind behind training, Peaches breaks down what’s right, what’s wrong, and why the people building creeds instead of warriors need to hit the pool and rethink their lives.

Send us a textEveryone online says the new Special Warfare “Zulu Course” is trash—so Peaches and Trent decided to light it up. This isn’t a soft take or sanitized military PR moment. It’s two retired operators roasting the chaos, the memes, and the ridiculous leadership gag orders that make no sense. Peaches calls out the “change fatigue” across the DOD, breaks down why the Zulu rollout will be rough, and drops truth bombs about command cluelessness, budget black holes, and the myth of the “company man.” If you can’t handle sarcasm and honesty about how training actually works, go listen to something else.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Peaches calls out “Company Man” energy 05:30 – The Zulu Course meltdown begins 08:40 – Change fatigue & leadership chaos 13:00 – Meme wars and gag orders gone stupid 19:00 – Legal orders, gag orders, and OSI overreach 25:00 – Why the first 3 Zulu classes will be total chaos 33:00 – Training breakdown: what “advanced” really means (hint: nothing) 41:00 – Subsuface swimming & pre-dive prep 52:00 – “They’re still cones” – Peaches vs. the pipeline 55:00 – Peaches’ spicy take on AFSOC “air commandos” 1:02:00 – If the Wing’s paying, Peaches is for sale🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Smash that Like button if you’ve ever survived bad leadership 🔔 Subscribe before your commander issues a gag order 💬 Drop your hot take in the comments 🌟 Leave a review — unless you’re a company man 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership for real-world prep 👕 Grab gear and merch at onesready.comSupport 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...
Send us a textTrent and Peaches start with monster trucks and end up demolishing the Special Warfare pipeline. But first, they highlight the absolute unit that is Scott Ruskan, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer who saved 165 people during the Texas floods—only to get force-fed a hero tour he didn’t ask for.What follows is a surgical takedown of the Pentagon’s latest “reforms” to the AFSW pipeline: less training, more liability, and a slow slide toward mediocrity—all in the name of speed. The guys torch the leadership failures, expose the false promises of a “common skills course,” and explain why survivability isn’t something you sprinkle on later.Also: weather nerds vs. floodplain ignorance, Epstein conspiracies, and why the real danger isn’t water—it’s decisions made by people who never touched it.🔥 Key Takeaways:🚁 Scott Ruskan is a damn legend. 165 lives saved, no ego, just action.⚠️ The hero tour = psychological landmine. Repeated exposure to trauma masked as “recognition.”🧠 The Gill-Man Amnesia Effect: Everyone forgets yesterday’s lies when today's headline feels good.🥽 Water confidence can’t be bolted on.

He defends the cadre who built the course from scratch, calls out the soft culture infecting the pipeline, and drops a masterclass in what real readiness looks like.

You don’t have to like it, but you damn sure need to hear it.If you’ve ever said “they’re changing too much,” or thought your opinion outweighed experience, this one’s going to sting.

Peaches and Trent are off the mic, which means there’s no filter—just pure truth bombs, sarcasm, and veteran rage.Aaron breaks down why the Zulu Course is actually the biggest step forward for Air Force Special Warfare training—and why today’s wannabes are embarrassing themselves online instead of preparing for real work.

Rob doesn’t sugarcoat it—he talks about raising a son who fails, adapts, and keeps fighting.

Peaches kicks open the team room door and unloads on the chaos hitting the Air Force — murder-suicides, cover-ups, and a shutdown that’s choking the system from the inside out. But before he dives into the darkness, he drops truth bombs from the latest Operator Training Summit: how the next gen of Special Warfare candidates are showing up hungrier, sharper, and more locked-in than ever.Then it’s straight into the fire — a double murder-suicide at Wright-Patt that exposes the ugly human cost behind the “we’re fine” press releases, and another tragic death tied to the M18 fiasco that’s making the Air Force and SIG Sauer sweat bullets. Peaches doesn’t do conspiracy fluff, but he’s not ignoring the smoke either. From leadership blind spots to the DOD’s “everything’s under control” theater, this episode cuts through the propaganda with a scalpel.By the time he’s done, you’ll be questioning whether “service before self” still means anything when people are dying under the weight of bureaucracy. And yeah, he somehow still lands the plane with a sliver of hope — free school meals, community support, and a reminder that helping each other is still the only mission that matters.So strap in, buttercups.

Jared’s new book Wet Death gets high praise (and a bit of trolling), Aaron confesses his TV crimes, and Trent plays devil’s advocate like a champ. The real fire? A scorched-earth takedown of Tim Kennedy—his alleged valor awards, inflated resume, and why stolen valor isn’t just embarrassing—it’s corrosive. Plus: a war room full of memes, Nate’s jump-to-conclusions mat, and the Pentagon’s real nuke warning system (hint: it’s covered in cheese and pepperoni).

Expect hard truths, gallows humor, and the kind of brutally honest conversation you’ll never hear in a press briefing. If you think the military’s “heritage problem” ends with pilots and PowerPoints, think again.

Send us a textJared’s sunburnt, unfiltered, and back in the war room (well, accidentally someone else’s). In this raw members-only rant, he debriefs the San Diego Operator Training Summit, breaks down the PT standard panic in the Air Force, and flame-throws the idiocy of “Blues Mondays.” From watching 38 candidates grind it out to eviscerating the armchair critics of “warrior ethos,” this episode is a spicy casserole of truth bombs, sarcasm, and unsolicited leadership advice. Plus, why some folks are mad about "our boys" and how social media outrage might just be one big bot-fueled joke. Buckle up, because Jared’s mic is hot and his patience is not.🔥 Key Takeaways:🪖 38 candidates hit San Diego for the OTS—pull-up game was strong, sunburns stronger.🎥 A former AF medic turned documentarian is capturing the grit for future sizzle reels.📉 Reality check: only 10% might make it to selection—most won't.🏃‍♂️ Air Force PT may shift to a 2-mile run, twice a year—cue mass hysteria from the Facebook force.🤡 “Warrior Ethos” is the new buzzword… and yes, it makes Jared cringe.💙 Blues Mondays may return, and Jared is ready to throw his dress uniform in protest.🗣️ Leadership lesson: you can over-communicate (cough CMSAF Bass)… or completely ghost (cough CMSAF Flosey).🤖 Bots or babies? Outrage over "our boys" shows how far we’ve drifted into performative offense.📉 Leadership without presence?

A Monster Mash at Little Rock AFB was shut down at the last second—after 50 candidates paid their own way—because someone got scared of “bad optics” during a government shutdown. Spoiler: nobody died, but the leadership’s spine sure did.Peaches tears into risk-averse commanders, lazy optics-warriors, and anyone who hides behind policy instead of taking ownership. Then he spotlights one real-deal hero: Col. Echard, the 19th Airlift Wing Commander who told everyone to “keep pressing” and owned the risk like a leader should.If you’ve ever wondered why morale tanks or why recruiting struggles, this episode spells it out in flaming detail.

Send us a textOnes Ready sits down with Morgan Lerette —author of Guns, Girls, and Greed—to talk about life as a Blackwater mercenary during the chaos of Iraq and Afghanistan. From getting recruited as a broke Air Guard kid, to standing on flight lines wondering if forklifts win Bronze Stars, to suddenly pulling convoys through Route Irish with Navy SEALs and Rangers, Morgan lays it all out: the absurd, the grim, and the downright sketchy. We dive into the wild days of unarmored Peugeots with body armor for window panels, hooker stories from Jordan, and the not-so-fun reality of PMCs running missions with zero backup.

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...
Send us a textThis was supposed to be a roast. A snarky hate-watch of the new Netflix Thunderbirds documentary. Instead? Aaron and Trent got ambushed by feelings. What started as a casual poo-poo sesh turned into a confession of admiration, aviation tears, and redemption arcs that hit harder than a Friday safety brief.We went from “tight flight suits and PR stunts” to "Astro gave up being an astronaut to save the team” — and dammit, we were in. From Primo’s struggle bus to elite team dynamics, we broke down what it actually takes to perform under pressure when the whole Air Force is watching.Also in this ep: Marines choke-slamming passengers mid-flight, Memorial Day cringe patrols, fake Viking worship, Jesus-themed t-shirts, PTSD reality checks, and why “No More Drama, Ride a Llama” is now legally trademarked by Ones Ready. This one’s unhinged, honest, and somehow… wholesome?🔥 Key Takeaways:Thunderbirds documentary unexpectedly slaps — especially Primo’s redemption arc and behind-the-scenes team friction.Public Affairs: THIS is how you tell authentic military stories. No more highlight reels. Show the struggle.If you're over 35 and yelling “'Til Valhalla” in a Spartan helmet… stop.The Marine who slammed a dude mid-flight deserves a medal and a bourbon.Memorial Day isn’t about rage-posting. Tell a damn story about your bros instead.PTSD doesn’t need to be your personality. Help exists. So does plant-based llama therapy.Jesus in a Ghillie suit?

Why are we shooting at UFOs with Reapers? Why is Congress playing budget chicken with defense spending?

Send us a textWelcome to the most brutal members-only episode yet—where we air out the entire damn mess the Air Force tried to sneak past you. No prep. No script. Just raw frustration, hot takes, and wild truths about canceled reenlistment bonuses, halted retirement orders, and why the hell the CMSAF wasn’t even in the loop.Peaches, Trent, and Aaron tear into this SRB and retirement trainwreck like it owes them backpay—with spicy theories, blunt facts, and zero patience for Pentagon PR spin. We talk broken trust, messaging failures, the impending war on special pays, and the ripple effect of gutting morale across the enlisted force—especially in Special Warfare.This one’s for the zone E operators, the “non-sexy AFSCs,” and every Airman who’s tired of being told to “just serve harder.” You’re not crazy. You’re just in the Air Force.🔥 Key Takeaways:CMSAF wasn’t told about the bonus cancellation. Let that sink in.Bonuses gone. Retirement/separation orders delayed. Messaging? Garbage.SRBs are retention tools, not handouts—and they just got nuked mid-cycle.“We ran out of money” = cover for shady spending they don’t want audited.Zone D/E folks (16–20+ years in) are the real casualties here—watch them walk.Special pays are next on the chopping block. Jump pay? Bye.Air Force leadership has mastered the art of “oops, we forgot to tell you.”If you want to kill morale, this is how you do it—death by a thousand memos.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – No YouTube money, no agenda, just chaos 01:30 – Aaron’s reel pops off: “Shut up and let someone else talk” 03:00 – Operator Training Summit preview + bobbing struggles 06:00 – Taylor Starch: Fitness cyborg & value machine 09:00 – SRB drama begins: Bonus cuts + CMSAF in the dark 12:00 – Theory: They don’t want people looking at the books 14:00 – End strength ≠ readiness for critically manned AFSCs 17:00 – Special pays are next—prepare to lose your jump pay 21:00 – “Do it for service” ≠ doing 1.75 jobs unpaid 25:00 – Air Force sucks at messaging. Still. 28:00 – Real-world impacts: PCS delays, retirement chaos 32:00 – Why zone E dudeSupport 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...
Send us a textAnother day, another Ones Ready drop where Peaches serves up hot takes with a side of sarcasm. From the Pentagon’s endless talent for screwing up interagency comms, to South Korea pulling more weight than half our “allies,” nothing is safe. We get speculation on who’s about to run the Air Force (spoiler: maybe a guy retiring today), a brutal roast of Emerald Warrior’s exercise circus, and even a congrats to 21 shiny-new pilots who are about to find out what pain really looks like. Sprinkle in Coasties seizing bricks of cocaine, the military health system trying to prove it’s relevant, and—oh yeah—the Ones Ready crew just casually hit their 500th episode.

Send us a textWelcome to the Ones Ready 500th episode—proof that sheer stubbornness beats strategy every time. Aaron, Trent, and Peaches hit the milestone the only way they know how: zero prep, maximum chaos. From reminiscing on legends and favorite guests to dunking on officers, bad takes, and the Air Force’s love for pointless bureaucracy, nothing is safe. They roast past guests, drag public affairs, tell war stories that shouldn’t be real, and still manage to get mad at dudes failing a run test we’ve been screaming about for years. It’s five years, 650 episodes, countless hours of content, and not a single filter in sight.If you came for polished professionalism, wrong show.

Send us a textWelcome to the Ones Ready Daily Drop, where Peaches rants his way through the Pentagon’s latest circus act. From Riga flyovers to AI “investments” that wouldn’t even buy a used Ford Ranger, this week’s Ops Brief is a buffet of absurdity. We’ve got ten tankers launching in Guam (because why not), Sharon peacing out of DISA IT, and the Air Force throwing pocket change at human-AI collab while China sharpens their Skynet. Oh—and apparently basketball is religion in Latvia, civilians are either heroes or roadblocks, and yes, Peaches argues for vigilantes (send complaints to his inbox, not ours). It’s snark, it’s savage, it’s Ones Ready.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Special Warfare assessment model explained (crawl, walk, run… or quit) 02:06 – Nashville OTS update: still need a ranch, got a pool 03:00 – Riga flyover: B-1 + NATO flexing 04:29 – White House ponders air support for Ukraine 05:40 – 10-ship tanker sortie out of Guam (Peaches vs. Smashburger) 06:58 – Pentagon IT shakeup: Sharon exits stage left 07:30 – $490M UAS and counter-UAS contract 08:20 – The Air Force’s $1.25M AI “couch cushion” project 09:13 – National Signing Day for Air & Space recruits 10:25 – Space Force news: X-37B launch, satcom contracts, new waveform tech 12:52 – Budget plan = new weapons, fewer civilians (Peaches rants) 15:10 – General Dynamics’ tracking layer contract 16:00 – Ex-Space Force analyst sentenced for vigilante shooting 17:31 – Peaches defends vigilantes (uh oh) 18:15 – Supply chain & internet behavior threats 19:00 – AI platform ADVANA gutted by budget cuts 20:00 – Top Gun trivia: meet the real “Charlie”🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Smash that like button if you’re tracking 🔔 Subscribe for more rants & reality checks 💬 Drop your hot take in the comments (civilian heroes or roadblocks?) 🌟 Leave us a review—it actually helps 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership for exclusive content 👕 Gear up at the Ones Ready merch storeSupport 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...
Send us a textWelcome back to the Team Room for another unapologetically savage drop of truth. Peaches tears into the Pentagon’s new “Pete & Bobby Fitness Challenge,” part of the grand Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign—where SecDef Hegseth and RFK Jr. prove that apparently half the DoD still can’t do a proper push-up. We hit the big headlines—warships flexing off Venezuela, the Air Force quietly firing its Chief of Staff, and Space Force building radars that can probably track the screw you lost in your garage.Expect rants on admin stupidity (keyboard warriors unite), the circus of leadership turnover, and why “fitness initiatives” look more like Instagram highlight reels than actual standards. If you wanted sanitized press releases, you wouldn’t be here. This is the raw, unfiltered Ops Brief—served hot with a side of sarcasm.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Why your “training” doesn’t count if it’s sloppy 02:00 – MAHA Madness: Pete & Bobby Challenge, pull-ups, and push-up disasters 04:15 – Warships head to Venezuela: countering cartels or playing battleship? 05:30 – DoD’s bright idea: “simplify” reserve duty (spoiler: they won’t) 06:45 – Admin hell in SOF: Green Berets as the new keyboard warriors 08:00 – CSAF David Alvin told to retire—Pentagon musical chairs continues 09:05 – Bamboo Eagle certification: Peaches vs. acronyms 10:20 – Air Force C2 software rollout: shiny new stacks, same old problems 11:25 – Another Wyoming airman charged in a fatal shooting—weapon safety rant 12:45 – Space Force news: Delta 85 stands up, deep space radar flexes 13:50 – Shrever Wargame: sci-fi concepts sneak closer to reality 14:30 – Air Guard gets a Space Force transfer option—who’s biting? 15:15 – DHA buyouts and Pentagon workforce trims 16:10 – AI office “demoted” to R&D—why this isn’t the insult you think 17:00 – Pentagon batteries: drones, ships, and the logistics game 18:00 – Wrap-up: merch, memberships, and making sure you’re actually ready🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next drop 💬 Comment with your hot take (or your bad push-up form story) 🌟 Leave a review—tell the world why you keep comiSupport 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...
Send us a textThe Ones Ready crew is back in the team room with another unapologetic ops brief. Peaches kicks things off by dragging coneheads who fail day one fitness tests and then launches into the week’s wild ride of military news. Marines get their obligatory “media hero” spotlight, the Army unveils another tilt-rotor science project (because clearly we learned nothing from the V-22), and Peaches calls for the resurrection of the mighty MH-53.From record female enlistments to the Space Force playing with quantum sensors (while the rest of us can’t even get quantum computers), this episode goes from shade-throwing to straight-up “WTF are we doing?” moments. Add in an orbital aircraft carrier concept ripped straight from an Avengers script, PCS moves frozen by broke budgets, and a National Guard soldier stopping a mall assault—yeah, this one’s got it all.If you want watered-down headlines, go watch the news.

Send us a textNothing screams “lifelong dream” like failing your IFT on day one. That’s right—72 cones showed up to the hardest pipeline in the world and tripped over the mile-and-a-half run like it was a banana peel. The Ones Ready crew (Peaches, Aaron, and Trent) put on their disappointed dad faces and rip into the excuses, bad prep, and pure clownery. From BMT “downtime” myths to pipeline “optimizations” that may or may not save the Air Force from itself, this is a no-filter roast of what’s broken, what’s fixable, and why mediocrity isn’t an option. Strap in: it’s equal parts therapy session, rant, and savage life advice. 🔥 Key Takeaways:72 people failed the IFT on day one—yes, really.Excuses range from “no time at BMT” to “the cadre was mean.” Spoiler: still your fault.Minimum standards = maximum failure.Pipeline changes may cut wasted time by 70%.“Don’t wear your stenciled shirt after you quit” = timeless wisdom.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready, Clowns Ready 05:30 72 Failures in One Day—WTF? 11:45 BMT excuses obliterated 19:00 Why minimums = guaranteed failure 24:00 You owed us—take your lumps 34:00 Pipeline “optimization” gossip 47:00 Building facilities that don’t suck 54:00 Aircraft, egos, and dumb leadership stories 1:03:00 Why bad info spreads like herpes in finance 1:06:15 Consistency: Run more, suck less🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Drop your hot take in the comments 🌟 Leave us a review 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Grab merch at onesready.comSupport 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...

We cover Pentagon IT projects that cost millions just to die on the vine, Nigeria’s suspiciously expensive weapons buy, and why Instagram’s new location tracker is basically a free gift to stalkers.

Send us a textForget the Instagram highlight reels—Peaches and Aaron are dropping the unfiltered, step-by-step hacks to survive the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline without becoming another quit statistic. This isn’t “drink more water” fluff; it’s the down-and-dirty, why-your-shins-are-dying, how-to-not-faceplant-on-the-IFT kind of episode. From running until you hate life, to fueling like a machine, to training until your friends think you’ve joined a cult, they break down exactly how to build durability, crush run times, and show up already dangerous.

Period. Sub-7:00 mile pace or bust.The IFT is designed to break you—train it in order, twice, back-to-back.Fuel like an athlete, not a fitness influencer—protein, carbs, color.Hydration isn’t optional—aim for a gallon a day, minimum.Obsession is the entry fee—if your social life isn’t taking a hit, you’re not serious.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – The “attributes-based” selection model explained 02:30 – Why Nashville OTS is about to sell out 06:10 – SIG P320 drama and why OSI is involved 09:00 – Time on feet: the silent career killer 14:50 – Pipeline culture: why you run everywhere 19:00 – Why 10,000 steps is for sick old people, not you 23:00 – The single metric that predicts graduation rates 28:00 – Fartlek runs and other speed-building hacks 33:00 – Fueling like a pro (and eating cookies at midnight) 38:00 – How to actually hydrate for performance 41:50 – The right (and wrong) way to train the IFT 47:30 – Why back-to-back IFTs are the ultimate readiness test 53:00 – The brutal truth about OTS pass rates 57:40 – Obsession: the only mindset that works 01:01:00 – Wrapping it up: why the mental game is still king🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Comment with your pipeline prep hacks 🌟 Leave a review 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Grab your Support 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...
Send us a textIn this members-only deep cut, Aaron and Trent pull no punches (and no show prep) as they ramble, rant, and roast their way through moving mishaps, military stupidity, and the myth of “cool deployments.” If you thought Ones Ready was structured… buckle up. This episode is pure stream-of-consciousness chaos, blending gym talk, Air Force drama, and political hot takes that’ll make the Pentagon’s PR team sweat.Aaron goes full “crunchy dad” about unvaccinated kids and Montessori beds (seriously), Trent breaks down how moving wrecks your soul, and together they demolish the fantasy of operator life. Spoiler: it’s mostly paperwork, puke, and pretending to like mandatory fun runs.Also: freefall sounds awesome until you realize it’s 12 hours of hurry-up-and-wait for 30 seconds of “cool.” And yes, they absolutely clown on commanders too fat to meet their own fitness standards. If you’ve ever wondered what the Ones Ready crew really talks about when the cameras are off… this is it.👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment, leave a review, bring a friend to the membership, and hit up the Ones Ready merch store.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready team room, where Peaches kicks down the door with another unapologetic ops brief. We’re starting off hot with Fort Bliss turning into a glorified detention center because, shocker, we’re drowning in illegal immigration. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard just wrecked someone's narco empire by snatching up $88 million in drugs—casually dropped in San Diego like it’s trash day.But the real jaw-dropper? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 9/11’s mastermind, pled guilty… to avoid the death penalty. Let that sink in. Mr. "I’ll send people to blow themselves up for paradise" is too scared to face his own end. Punk move of the century. Peaches doesn’t hold back, comparing him—and other cowardly leaders—to the same political class here at home. It’s savage, and it’s spot on.On the Air Force side, we’ve got nuclear microreactors going online in Alaska (because why not test clean energy near Russia), the PT test still killing people who dry-scoop pre-workout, and a whole lot of effort to look like we’re “resilient” with energy security buzzwords. Also, surprise—transitioning service members just got denied early retirement pay. That’s gonna stir the pot.Then there’s Space Force. Yep, they’re doing “Guardian Arena,” a Roman-gladiator-meets-tech-bro competition to prove they can actually sweat. Physical strength, mental agility, teamwork, and probably a whole lot of cosplay armor. Peaches is skeptical—but weirdly intrigued.It’s all unfiltered, rapid-fire, and zero apologies. Let’s go.🔥 Key Takeaways:Fort Bliss is now Fort Holding TankCoast Guard: 1, Cartel: 0 ($88M seized 💰)9/11 mastermind takes plea deal—won’t die for his own cause 🤡Space Force hosts Roman-gladiator cosplay with kettlebellsDoD drops mini nukes in Alaska—for energy, not war (yet)Air Force PT still causing heart attacks.

From almost joining the Marines to wrenching on A-10s and recruiting for the 193rd Special Operations Wing, Derrick walks us through how the Air National Guard let him stay home, stack checks, and still deploy to undisclosed sandbox locations. Oh, and did we mention you start getting paid before basic? Yeah.

You get Aaron Love. In this solo mic-drop of an origin story, Aaron walks us through his chaotic rise from “littering charge degenerate” to USAF Pararescueman. From failed college attempts and $0.50 beer nights to literal jail time and getting smoked in Florida with boats and logs, Aaron lays it all bare—failures, comebacks, and all.

It’s a redemption arc wrapped in sarcasm, sweat, and service.Prepare to meet the man behind the mic—the oldest, grumpiest, most entertainingly reckless member of the Ones Ready crew. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll probably Google “Can you really get arrested for littering?”🔥 Key Takeaways:Aaron failed out of college for water polo and beer. Priorities, right?9/11 flipped a switch—he went from aimless to all in.First attempt at Indoc? Crashed and burned (his words).Spent years rebuilding as a fistic... then clawed his way back.Passed the PAST test hungover (don’t try that).Got arrested for littering... yes, really.Rolled an ankle at Indoc... playing Dreamcast in quarters.Had to refire ditch & don—on his last chance, last breath.Smoked with boats in Florida.

Send us a textPeaches drops into the team room to roast the DoD’s latest brainchild—the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense program. Because nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like duct-taping old tech to new threats. From sketchy F-35 upgrades to AI-driven psyops and a pistol that just…goes off, this episode is a rollercoaster of bureaucratic brilliance and defense déjà vu. Oh, and shoutout to the DoD for finally noticing that maybe, just maybe, over-classifying everything isn’t helping. Get ready for Space Force buzzwords, Air Force growing pains, and a masterclass in defense spending madness.🔥 Key Takeaways:Golden Dome missile defense: now with existing tech and future sticker shockRAND wants Skynet on our team—AI psyops incomingF-35s on hold until they deliver what we actually paid for (imagine that)M18 pistol yeets itself into the danger zone—AF halts use after fatal mishapSpace Force plans innovation…by hosting contests (no, seriously)Overclassification is a problem?

Send us a textPeaches is back with another scathing ops brief—this time dragging the DoD for everything from mystery missiles and “indefinite quantity” contracts (yeah, that’s real) to billion-dollar Iron Dome knockoffs. From Space Force promotions to “near-miss” B-52s and the Pentagon handing OpenAI a $200M AI war chest, this episode dives deep into the weird, the wild, and the “we’re definitely not overfunded” chaos of 2025. Also: the real reason the Air Force hit their recruiting goals early (spoiler: they didn’t). Oh, and yes, Tim Kennedy's name comes up... brace yourselves.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 The Air Force buys 75 tankers without even pretending to hold a competition🛰️ Space Force doing 61 launches and still trying to look busy🧃 Creatine gummies now count as warfighting prep📉 “Indefinite delivery” contracts sound more like wishful thinking🫡 Recruiting goals met... after someone moved the goalpost🏆 Congressional medals for civilians?

Send us a textPeaches returns with another banger, torching bureaucratic blunders and Joint Force nonsense. From the Pentagon flexing like it just invented drone grenades, to the DoD accidentally letting Chinese engineers tinker with our cloud—this one's a spicy ride. He dives into the F-35 budget cut drama, Space Force cosplay, uniform updates that no one asked for, and yes, another near-miss in the skies. Also: Nashville OTS still has slots, and you might even get Uncle Sam to foot the bill (if your chain isn't lame). Buckle up—your commute just got smarter and more sarcastic.🔥 Key Takeaways:Pentagon: “We dropped a grenade from a drone!” Everyone else: “Cool, 2012 called.”Microsoft let Chinese engineers touch DoD networks.

Send us a textBuckle up, aspiring warriors and pipeline survivors – the Ones Ready crew is back with a savage takedown of military myths, featuring Tac P legend Alex Chiapetta, who joined the Air Force at the ripe old age of 27 (gasp!) and somehow didn't shatter like fine china in the pipeline. Spoiler: He crushed it, thanks to mobility stretches, protein overloads, and bedtime at 7:30 PM – because who needs video games when you're building an empire? Alex spills the tea on ditching desk jobs during COVID, dodging Army officer boards like a bad date, and why Tac P's strategic battlefield wizardry hooked him harder than a Hellcat obsession (pro tip: Skip the 28% interest muscle car, kids). From land nav in the woods (no, not that kind) to JTAC brain-melting chaos, he exposes how the pipeline's "easier" rep is total BS – it's all rucking, radios, and refusing to be that washout marching lines at Medina. But here's the real mic-drop: Alex played the long game, stacking VA loans for free rent via house hacks, maxing TSP like a boss, and snagging Air Force Cool certs while you were blowing TDY cash on nonsense. Now he's bailing for Texas McCombs MBA, networking with vets like a pro, and plotting to buy businesses from retiring boomers. Oh, and don't get him started on getting fat post-military – he's aiming for "hot dad" status, not "retired slob." The crew throws in pool training plugs, fat-shaming roasts (RIP Tony's BMI), and why your network is your net worth. If you're grinding the pipeline or plotting your escape, this episode's your no-BS blueprint to level up – or end up checking IDs at the gate. Hell yeah, brother... or nah?Key Takeaways:Age Ain't Nothing But a Pipeline Myth: Alex joined at 27, outlasted cocky 18-year-olds by prioritizing recovery, mobility, and sleep – turns out discipline beats youth every time. Pipeline Real Talk – It's Brutal, Brainy, and Doable: From rucking hell to land nav nightmares and JTAC multi-tasking madness, the Tac P grind builds unbreakable confidence if you shut up and grind. Military Benefits = Wealth Hacks: Stack TSP, snag VA loans for multi-unit houses (live rent-free, idiots), and use Air Force Cool for free certs – Alex turned four years into generationalSupport 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...
Send us a textThis one’s a banger, folks. Lt Col Brandon Temple—Mustang, TACP legend, and card-carrying member of the “deep state”—joins the team room and brings the heat. From botching his shot at pro baseball to stumbling into the Air Force via a giant binder of mystery jobs, Temple’s journey is pure chaos and grit. We dive into his Mustang days (yes, he enlisted first), Navy betrayal (yep, he crossed over), and what it was like sleeping bag spooning with a CCT in Afghanistan.Oh, and he’s not just a warfighter—he’s a legislative assassin now, influencing Capitol Hill and telling Congress what’s up with AFSPECWAR. Add in some dark humor, Civil War accents, a napalm joke, and a love letter to Hunter Seven Foundation… and you’ve got an episode that’s half roast, half reverent, and 100% Ones Ready.🔥 Key Takeaways:🛫 Went open general in 1999 and dodged security forces by sheer luck and Sharpie.🧭 Failed land nav because Florida has bears, snakes, and Florida Man.🧊 Cuddled a freezing CCT in a sleeping bag during Operation Red Wings recovery—no regrets.🇺🇸 Spent 9+ years enlisted, then commissioned into…the Navy?!

In this episode, we cover everything from Excel-budget nightmares and B-1 Lancer drama to Space Force doing... whatever it is Space Force does. Jared rips through the latest military headlines with his signature blend of humor, eye rolls, and reluctant patriotism.We kick things off with a sneak peek at the Operator Training Summit and a shoutout to the surprisingly effective (and very unscammed) Tasty Gains gummies. Then it’s all gas, no brakes through a gauntlet of DoD absurdities: pipe-dream weapon standardization in NATO, a billion-dollar GPS system that’s somehow still in testing, and the Air Force saving $10 billion by using—wait for it—Excel. Yeah, that’s a real thing.We wrap with cyber hacks, Ukraine fatigue, F-35 wishlists, and a whole lot of “wait, that’s real?” moments. Buckle up, this one's got teeth.🔥 Key Takeaways:👀 The Air Force saved $10B with spreadsheets—and possibly divine intervention💣 B-1 crash blamed on “culture” (aka leadership dysfunction)🇵🇭 U.S. building a fast boat base in the Philippines to troll China🛰️ Space Force makes Warrior Games debut and gets serious with on-orbit warfare🧠 Tasty Gains creatine gummies are legit, no matter what TikTok says🕵️‍♂️ Chinese hackers breached a National Guard network for months✈️ F-35 procurement may triple, if the retired generals get their way🔄 NATO urged to stop mooching off U.S. military hardware📉 Ukraine war strategy: hope, vibes, and more funding🧢 Fort Bragg name flip-flop continues to be an identity crisis in slow motion⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: “One’s Ready Go!” 00:07 – What “attributes-based” selection really means 01:00 – Operator Training Summit plug 02:00 – Tasty Gains: Not the scam you think it is 02:45 – Trump picks new Space Force #2s 03:30 – NATO still can’t standardize rockets (shocker) 04:30 – U.S. builds fast boat base in Philippines 05:00 – $10.4B saved via… Excel and magic 06:45 – B-1 crash and the "bad culture" blame game 07:45 – Arkansas Guard’s MQ-9 squadSupport 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...
Send us a textHope you packed your sense of humor and a fire extinguisher—because this episode scorches everything from overpriced moldy barracks in Guam to the Pentagon ghosting Aspen like it’s a bad Tinder date. Jared runs down the biggest WTFs across the Department of Defense with a tactical blend of sarcasm and salt. We’re talking billions for broken plumbing, drones that can’t hang in Alaska, the F-35 backlog (finally) clearing, and a KC-46 that decided midair was the perfect time for a wardrobe malfunction. Plus, the Air Force tries fashion policing again (no more eyelash extensions, folks), Space Force dreams of relevancy, and China continues its “quantity over quality” military glow-up. Also, Nashville OTS is coming—bring your snorkel and your ruck.🔥 Key Takeaways:Moldy, condemned-looking barracks at Andersen AFB getting a $300M taxpayer makeoverCommercial drones flopped in Alaska—apparently GPS jamming is still a thingLockheed's F-35s finally unclogged from the TR-3 software backlogPentagon says “nah” to Aspen because it smelled too much like globalismThe KC-46 had a mid-air boom shredding incident (but hey, it landed!)House blocks Wedgetail cancellation—your AWACS 2.0 is safeAir Force bans eyelash extensions (finally a real threat neutralized)Space Force wants $30M for TACSRT and reveals its very serious international BFF planChina is building jets faster than we can pay Lockheed to fix softwareNashville Operator Training Summit is locked and loaded for October⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Jared’s sarcastic intro & Nashville OTS plug 01:00 – Why A&S is about raw materials, not finished products 02:06 – $300M barracks reno for Guam’s mold palace 03:30 – Why military construction = legalized contractor robbery 04:00 – Transcom tries to unfuck cyber and info ops 04:45 – F-35 backlog cleared (sort of), TR-3 delays explained 05:40 – Drone failure in Alaska shows U.S. is behind 06:30 – DoD admits to 2 civilian deaths in 2024 ops 07:00 – National Guard withdraws from LA, Gavin Newsom throws shade 07:30 – Pentagon bails on Aspen, claims apolitical innocence 08:00 – Marines host Pacific Support 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...
Send us a textBuckle up, buttercups—Jared's back in the Ones Ready team room, dishing out yesterday's DoD drama because the PAO couldn't update today's headlines. Hegeth's memo: stop being bureaucratic wimps, buy American drones fast—excessive caution is the enemy. Joint air drills with B-52s flexing on North Korea; AI saving lives in mass casualties; SOCOM slashing Skyraider buys in half, likely budget tight. Jared throws shade at AFSOC's PAO for dodging his interview ask, calls out China's South China Sea bullying flop, cheers Senate's A-10 rescue (thunder lives!). Wraps with cyber fails, Turkey's F-35 snub (beat it, nerds), and pushing for service members' right to repair gear without contractor scams. Tired of bland military news? This is your sarcastic, straight-talk wake-up from Ones Ready—no apologies.Key Takeaways:- Hegeth's drone memo: Stop being cowards and buy American expendables ASAP—excessive caution is the real enemy. 😤- SOCOM halves OA-1K buys: From 12 to 6 in FY26, delaying the fleet but keeping the 75-goal dream alive—funding drama incoming.- Joint drills galore: B-52s over Korea, naval logistics pacts with Aussies and Japan—deterring North Korea and China like it's 1945 all over again.- Air Force recruiting rebound: 15K in delayed entry, but did they just move the goalposts post-COVID? Jury's out.- Senate saves A-10s: Retaining 100+ Thunderbolts in the NDAA—11th-hour heroics for the Warthog warriors. 🛩️- Right to repair push: Warriors deserve to fix gear without voiding warranties—screw the contractor scams.- Operator Training Summit announced: Nashville, Oct 25-26—land PT day one, pool drown-proofing day two.

Send us a textThis episode is a gut punch of clarity and common sense wrapped in Hoist-fueled sarcasm. Aaron and Peaches sits down with retired Marine Corps Colonel Curtis Lee—civil affairs legend, community builder, and founder of Carolinas for Ukraine. From mentoring under three-war combat vets to spearheading grassroots refugee resettlement, Curtis breaks down the real meaning of service after service.And oh yeah—we’re not afraid to poke the bear. Illegal immigration? We say no. Strategic, vetted, value-driven immigration? Hell yes. Curtis’ program resettles Ukrainian families legally—and it might just be the model for how we fix the entire U.S. immigration dumpster fire.We hit topics the media won't touch with a ten-foot boom mic:The Afghanistan withdrawal debacle 💣Weaponizing civil affairs before the first shot is fired 🧠How to actually win in the gray zone war ⚔️The death of assimilation in America 🇺🇸And why your HOA might have more impact than your congressman 🏘️If you want talking points, go watch cable news. If you want real talk that’ll challenge your worldview and maybe even get you off the couch—press play.🔥 Key Takeaways:Curtis Lee dropped nearly 30 years in uniform, then turned around and started winning wars without firing shots.The "Uniting for Ukraine" program is legal immigration done right—screened, vetted, and integrated.“Two things can be true at once” becomes the battle cry of the episode—and it's time America learned that nuance is not weakness.You can be anti-illegal immigration and still pro-humanity. Shocking, we know.Civil affairs isn't just soccer balls and smiles—it's psychological warfare with real-world outcomes.Afghans were left hanging. Ukrainians got help. The difference? Planning, legality, and leadership.Local action > national outrage. HOA boards, school committees, and city foundations are where real change starts.America’s greatest threat isn’t a border crisis—it’s apathy.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Aaron Rants About Grape Hoist 01:45 – Hoist IV Hydration and Chaos in a Box 03:00 – Shoutout to Modern AthlSupport 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...

Jared unpacks the latest military madness with his usual blend of sarcasm, side-eyes, and straight-up disbelief. From AI drone swarms to banned eyelash extensions, from therapy dogs saving morale to space lasers tracking Chinese satellites—this one’s got it all. Oh, and apparently we bombed Iran’s nuclear sites… but maybe didn’t hit anything? It’s like a military-themed episode of “Nailed It!”🔥 Key Takeaways:🧨 Trump greenlights NATO-funded weapons for Ukraine… totally won't backfire.💥 Drone warfare = IEDs 2.0. Welcome to the chaos.🥾 Air Force bans fake lashes but keeps outdated procurement pipelines.🛰️ China’s satellites playing bumper cars in space, but we're the bad guys?🐕 South Dakota Air Guard hires a therapy dog.

Send us a textAaron rolls solo to drop a grenade on your expectations and walk you through the jaw-dropping overhaul of the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline. New names. New timelines. New chaos. Is dive school back? Is SWOE-V dead? Will your career implode before it starts? Aaron breaks it all down with brutal honesty and zero fluff. No sarcasm (seriously)—just straight facts and insider updates from the front lines of AFSPECWAR’s Frankenstein pipeline rewrite. If you’re anywhere near the door to this career field, buckle up. You’re not ready for what’s coming—but you will be after this.🔥 Key Takeaways:SWOE-V is (probably) toast. Guaranteed contracts are coming back.New 3-week land-based selection starts October."Zulu Course" = 16-week common skills crucible for all 1Z AFSCs.No more job selection at SWAS—now happens after Zulu.Pre-dive follows Zulu. Dive school may be resurrected (again).PJs still get hosed with 18–20 month pipelines due to paramedic training.Everyone else? Aim is 12 months to team placement.Apprentice courses will be cut down—no repeating Zulu content.Already in the pipeline but not in an apprentice course? You're going to Zulu anyway. Sorry.This is either brilliant efficiency or a flaming disaster. TBD.Aaron wants to be wrong… but probably isn’t.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome to Aaron’s solo mission 01:20 – The “no sarcasm” promise (mostly) 02:30 – Why is the pipeline changing? 04:15 – Should you still join?

Send us a textIt’s July 10th, and the Daily Drop is back with Jared dropping truth bombs harder than a B-1 on afterburner. From the announcement of the next Operator Training Summit in Nashville (spoiler: it’s gonna slap) to the Pentagon lobbing real ones at Iran, this episode’s got more hot takes than a Twitter war during a government shutdown.Jared breaks down military logistics like your drunk uncle explaining the NFL draft—passionate, slightly unhinged, but mostly right. He rants about AF simulators being broken garbage, drones flying into everything, the VA being predictably dysfunctional, and why the Air Force is still pretending they might keep the B-1 (spoiler: they’re not). Also, the Space Force apparently needs another $6 billion. For what? Who knows.If you like your defense briefings with a side of sarcasm, a shot of cynicism, and topped with real-world experience, this one’s for you.🔥 Key Takeaways:🧠 The Air Force Research Lab is full of brainiacs... if only we let them cook📦 Simulators are trash—and creating more harm than good✈️ F-16s moved from Japan to Korea to flex on North Korea💣 Operation Midnight Hammer = cool name, questionable effectiveness🚀 The Space Force wants $6B more because “reasons”🧴 Forever chemicals? Still forever. Still deadly.🏥 VA and DOD still don’t know how to share medical records in 2025🇮🇷 Bombed Iran’s nuclear sites but maybe only slowed them down 2 years?

Send us a textThe Ones Ready crew is back with a blistering Daily Drop that reads like a classified briefing laced with caffeine and outrage. Jared goes scorched-earth on the U.S. finally banning Chinese farmland buys (spoiler: it’s 2025 and somehow this wasn’t already illegal). Meanwhile, the Army wants to quadruple Patriot missiles—because what’s deterrence without volume? The Air Force still can't decide if the F-15EX should have a roommate. Space Force gets a budget bump, but bureaucratic gatekeepers still cling to outdated classification nonsense like it’s a Cold War cosplay. And don’t worry, the KC-46 is still a flying contradiction—does it even have SATCOM?Oh, and if you're still here: Nashville. October. OTS. Let’s go.🔥 Key Takeaways:🇨🇳 Finally banning Chinese nationals from buying U.S. farmland—because national security apparently wasn’t obvious.🎯 Army wants four times the Patriots—are we prepping for WW4?🛠️ Right-to-repair bill might finally stop the Pentagon from mailing radios back like it’s 1996.🛰️ Space Force budget finally treated like we’re living in the 21st century.💥 Air Force's KC-46 might not have SATCOM... in 2025.

Send us a textIn this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Peaches dives headfirst into the latest national defense chaos—from Humvees rolling through LA to Marines moonlighting as ICE support in Florida. Pete Hegseth wants to bring the warrior spirit back (because apparently we lost it), and Jared’s not buying the sudden patriotism unless you're ready to pull bodies from burning cars. Meanwhile, retired four-stars are back in the game pushing for E-7s and more F-35s… but who’s paying them now? The Academy is bleeding staff, a nuclear microreactor is going to Alaska (because obviously), and the Air Force just teamed up with AI-piloted Valkyrie drones like it's Skynet 2.0. Also—yes, the Space Force canceled something big. Again. Strap in, nerds.🔥 Key Takeaways:🇺🇸 Hegseth goes full ‘warrior mode’ – and Jared’s all for readiness, just not the cosplay.🚨 Troops deployed to LA for immigration enforcement (with ROE briefings and Humvees, naturally).🪖 Marines in Florida supporting ICE—because why not send 200 to do a politician’s dirty work?🤔 Retired generals pushing for more jets—but Jared smells Lockheed money in the air.🛫 Valkyrie drone test controlled by Air Force pilots shows we’re getting closer to robot war.🏫 140 jobs cut at the Air Force Academy, and Jared’s got thoughts on over-hires and sadness.⚛️ Alaska’s Eielson AFB gets a microreactor—because freezing in the dark is for civilians.🛰️ Space Force awards $2.8B to Boeing for nuclear comms, then cancels a big satcom program because… reasons.🧠 Jared admits he uses AI to parse 10-page DoD briefs—and honestly, wouldn’t you?⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Intro & Ataclite Discount Plug 00:46 – Hegseth Wants Warrior Culture Back 01:45 – The Readiness Guilt Bomb 02:26 – Troops in LA: Immigration Crackdown with ROE 03:22 – Jared’s Take: Social Media Outrage vs Reality 04:00 – Marines Deployed to Florida for ICE Support 04:38 – Okinawa Arrests: Airman & Marine in Hot Water 05:25 – Are We Doxing Troops Too Casually? 05:48 – Air Force Tests Valkyrie Drones in Air Combat 06:22 – AFMC Boss Retires (Yawn) 06Support 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...
Send us a textAfter six months of silence, the Ones Ready crew finally unleashes a no-holds-barred breakdown of the looming AFSPECWAR pipeline overhaul—and spoiler alert: it’s a total mess. From gutting water confidence to pushing combat dive into career purgatory, this episode exposes how leadership is sacrificing operational readiness for… spreadsheets.Jared, Aaron, and Trent torch the new “land-based” selection model, the sketchy 12-week “Common Skills” course, and the alphabet-soup plans for MGFE (whatever that means). The team unpacks why this isn’t just dumb—it’s dangerous. If you think removing water-based assessments won’t ripple downstream into mission failure, think again.Whether you’re a pipeline hopeful, a team room veteran, or someone who actually cares about how elite operators get made—this is the one you don’t skip.🔥 Key Takeaways:💦 Water Confidence, RIP: Moving to land-based selection ignores the job’s amphibious demands.🤡 Common Skills Chaos: 12-week course sounds good… until you realize it’s not resourced, staffed, or even defined.🧠 Creatine and Conspiracies: Tasty Gains gets a nod, but the real brain fuel here is unfiltered truth.🎩 Pipeline Decisions Made by People Who’ve Never Worn a Ruck: Career field managers weren’t even in the room.🫥 MGFE = Maybe Get F*cked Eventually?

Send us a textPeaches returns with a scorched-earth breakdown of America’s latest military moves—and screwups. From counter-UAS task forces to the Pentagon’s \$330M-per-jet regrets, this episode tears into drone threats, Space Force drama, and Operation Midnight Hammer’s massive flex… that also accidentally exposed all our weak spots. We’re talking fleet gaps, busted tankers, munitions shortages, and decision-makers who keep canceling the wrong programs. Plus: the Air Force ditches sit-up alternatives (again), the F-47 enters the chat, and Iran just keeps poking the bear. If you want strategic insights laced with sarcasm, this is your ammo drop.🔥 Key Takeaways:* 🛩️ F-22 went from 750 to 195 jets thanks to cost, peace, and bureaucracy—F-47 might repeat history.* 💥 Operation Midnight Hammer? Impressive strike, but it exposed serious USAF cracks.* 🚨 ISR gaps, tanker dependency, and stealth shortages paint a grim picture for peer warfare.* 🛰️ SpaceX bags more USSF cash while China throws a fit about “space weaponization.”* 🧠 Counter-UAS task force: great idea… still no clarity on execution.* 💪 Sit-ups are back, shuttle runs are gone, and 2-mile tests might be coming.

In this Daily Drop, Jared dives into the military’s latest budget frenzy, Iran’s Cold War cosplay, and why creatine is now part of his mental warfare toolkit. From wildfires pulling Guard troops off security gigs to Cyber Command begging for updated dial-up, it's another day of chaos, caffeine, and congressional cash grabs. Oh—and Space Force is building GPS knockoffs just in case things get really spicy. Buckle up, nerds.🔥 Key Takeaways:🧠 Creatine isn't just for your biceps—it’s for your brain now, apparently.🇪🇺 EUCOM warns the Cold War is back, just with more memes and TikTok.🧨 CENTCOM’s new nominee is “visionary”… but also unnamed.

Send us a textIn this spicy Daily Drop, Jared wades through the DoD’s latest chaos with all the charm of a migraine and none of the bureaucratic BS. Iranian missiles rain on Al Udeid (spoiler: we were ready), Raisin Kane flexes with Patriot batteries, and Trump might’ve poked the bear again—depending on who you ask. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's rolling out budget moves like a drunk accountant: retiring the A-10 (for real this time?), canceling the E-7 Wedgetail, and somehow not screwing up the Sentinel ICBM timeline… allegedly.He torches military mental health hypocrisy (hi, Joe and your stripper wives), raises an eyebrow at Air Force budget math, and mourns the tragic losses of airmen in water-related incidents. Also: Space Force gets the Pixar treatment, cloud networks are trying to unf*** comms, and one moron laser-tagged F-16s and got... nine days in jail. Cool system we’ve got.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Al Udeid survives Iranian missile strike – 40 defenders, 2 minutes, zero hype.🧨 Operation Midnight Hammer – 125 aircraft flex, Congress still asleep.🤷‍♂️ A-10 finally retiring? Jared’s not buying it (and neither is Ukraine).📉 Wedgetail canceled, B-21 boosted – so… we’re blind but stealthy?🧠 Military spouses’ mental health – turns out marrying strippers isn’t a fix.💻 Secure cloud networks – because current comms are held together by duct tape and prayers.🌊 Two tragic airmen deaths in water – wear your damn life jackets.🚀 SpaceX gets the nod – launching hurricane monitors and science toys.🔦 Laser dude gets 9 days – interfering with F-16s = weekend timeout.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & Modern Athlete Plug 01:50 – Raisin Kane in Greece, IUD base defense 03:40 – Trump & the Iran drama 05:00 – Pentagon’s cloud comms fail-fix 06:00 – Mental health crisis in military spouses 06:45 – China threat & 2027 Taiwan clock 07:30 – Air Force One gets a Qatari glow-up 08:30 – Munitions shortage & bunker buster boost 09:45 – A-10 dies (again), F-47 in, E-7 out 11:00 – Air Force nixes alternative PT tests 12:10 – Tragic airman deaSupport 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...
Send us a textMatt Cubbler is back—and this time, it’s personal. If you thought the first episode blew the lid off the Job Price case, buckle the hell up. In this scorched-earth sequel, the Ones Ready crew dives headfirst into the why behind the mysterious death of SEAL Team 4 Commander Job Price. Spoiler alert: the official “suicide” story doesn’t just have holes—it’s a full-blown cover-up crater.Cubbler, a 30-year law enforcement veteran and the man who cracked open the case, lays out a damning forensic, contextual, and moral case that screams murder. From scrubbed crime scenes and missing money to suppressed pistols and suppressed truths, this is a masterclass in how to weaponize silence, loyalty, and bureaucracy to erase a man.We’re talking forged narratives, suppressed evidence, and a command culture that would rather protect the brotherhood than admit a SEAL commander might’ve been executed by his own men. If this episode doesn’t rattle your faith in the system, check your pulse—or your security clearance.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Forensic pathologists confirm: Job Price did not commit suicide.🔇 Crime scene was unsecured for 9 hours—then scrubbed by SEALs.🔫 The gun that allegedly killed Price? Never tested for brain matter. It also likely wasn’t the murder weapon.😶 SEAL command ignored warnings of retribution from locals after a prior detainee death.💰 $30–40K in missing ASOT funds—and Price threatened to expose it.🧼 His body was washed, redressed, and hands rebagged after NCIS told them not to touch a thing.🎭 Gallagher, Ryan, and the Anti-Hero crew mock the investigation—but offer zero counterevidence.🧠 Motive? Betrayal, ego, fear of exposure, and a toxic loyalty to the team—not the truth.📉 Since 2001, zero commander-level suicides in theater. But Price, with a family and a bright future, suddenly “kills himself” days before Christmas? Not buying it.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Strap in: Cubbler returns 01:15 – Pose Fitness App plug: train smart or get smoked 03:55 – Free month?

Send us a textThe Pentagon dropped a $962B budget bomb, and Razin Caine dropped an actual bomb—well, more like 125 aircraft dropping GBU-57 bunker busters on Iranian nuclear sites. In this no-fluff Daily Drop, Jared unpacks the FY26 defense budget, the rise of the F-47, the death of the A-10, and why space is the new high ground (sorry, Wedgetail). He also calls out bureaucratic nonsense, praises enlisted studs like Tech Sgt. Montoya, and side-eyes yet another “brilliant” plan to split the Air Force into four separate services. Meanwhile, Hoist is still the drink of choice, even if Congress can’t get theirs together.🔥 Key Takeaways:💣 Operation Midnight Hammer: 125 aircraft, 7,000 miles, 37 hours, and big bunker busters.🛫 F-35 out, F-47 in: Air Force pivots to next-gen air dominance… while retiring the beloved A-10.💸 $962B Defense Budget: Includes $184B for construction and $25B for Space Force’s “Golden Dome” (yes, seriously).🛰️ Wedgetail Axed: Airborne command and control is out, space-based C2 is in—eventually.🪖 Tech Sgt. Montoya FTW: Combat training in Korea actually gets a shoutout from Public Affairs.🧠 Split the Air Force?: A retired general thinks more bureaucracy is the answer.

Send us a textBuckle up, warfighters—this one’s gonna rattle some cages. In this fire-breathing episode, Jared and Aaron torch the lazy talking points and break down why foreign aid isn’t just “giving away your tax dollars.” From crushing fentanyl pipelines before they cross U.S. borders to outmaneuvering China’s Belt and Road sleight of hand, this is your crash course in how global influence actually works. They pull no punches while explaining how smart international assistance builds partner capacity, prevents U.S. boots on the ground, and gives America leverage without dropping a single JDAM. Plus: why U2 should be banned from Bluetooth speakers and what happens when your soft power goes soft.Forget TikTok takes—this is real strategy from dudes who lived it.🔥 Key Takeaways:💸 Foreign aid ≠ charity. It’s an influence tool that keeps Americans out of wars.🛡️ Soft power is sometimes more lethal than hard power—and way cheaper.🇨🇳 When America leaves a vacuum, China builds a port (and installs spyware).🧠 DIME, baby: Diplomacy, Information, Military, Economic—master that or get outplayed.🚨 Fentanyl doesn’t start at the border. Foreign aid helps cut it off at the source.🌍 You can’t project power if you’ve got zero friends.

Jared dives into the late-breaking chaos of June 25th like a B-2 on a midnight hammer run. From underground terror bunkers to squirrels declaring war on Minot AFB, this episode hits harder than hypersonics and keeps it unapologetically real.CENTCOM says terrorists are going subterranean, Iran’s still acting like the boss villain of global instability, and somehow the Missile Defense Agency is still blaming COVID for its two-year delay. Oh, and in case you missed it—female aircrew smoked Iranian targets while half the internet cried over the phrase “our boys.” Grow up.We also cover squirrel infestations, Air Force fitness crybabies, the return of NATO guilt-tripping, and why Congress doesn’t need to be in the Airstrike Group Chat. It's everything you need to know to stay informed, pissed off, and ready to crush your next ruck.🔥 Key Takeaways:🕳️ Terror groups are digging deep—CENTCOM warns that underground bunkers are the new hiding spot.🇮🇷 Iran’s still a problem—even after precision airstrikes and diplomatic chest-thumping.🎯 B-2 bombers dropped 75+ precision munitions in a record-setting sortie. 44-hour flights. Go-pills included.⚖️ Domestic violence convictions in the military are up—but so are concerns about due process.🧠 Female operators crushed it during Operation Midnight Hammer, but internet trolls only heard “our boys.”🏃‍♂️ A 2-mile run is breaking the Air Force. Cry harder.🐿️ Minot AFB is under siege… by squirrels. You can't make this up.🚀 Space Force launched Dragoon satellites and opened a museum. Still cooler than your last base tour.🇺🇸 Congress whines about not getting airstrike briefings. Jared breaks down why they’re wrong.🛰️ Electronic warfare still sucks.

Send us a textWelcome back to The Daily Drop—where Jared rants, roasts, and breaks down the news like only the Ones Ready crew can. Today’s main event? Iran punches back with a missile strike on Al-Udeid, but 13 of 14 missiles get slapped out of the sky. Trump drops an F-bomb on the lawn. Space and Cyber Command flex behind the scenes. And everyone’s favorite stealth bat—the B-2—continues to steal headlines.Meanwhile, the Air Force wants airmen to run two miles... twice a year. Cue the Facebook tears and diaper rash in the NCO groups. Jared lets the fatties have it with a no-holds-barred takedown that would make your Chief blush. Also: the F-15EX has supply chain issues (again), Tech Sergeant promotions spike, and drones in Ukraine are now hiding in IKEA houses.It’s blunt. It’s brutal. It’s your morning slap of reality—Ones Ready style.🔥 Key Takeaways:🇮🇷 Iran Launches Back: 14 missiles fired at Al-Udeid—13 intercepted. Trump responds with fire and profanity.🛰️ Cyber + Space Ops: Behind every bomber strike is a shadow war of electrons and satellites.🏃 Air Force Fitness Test Meltdown: 2 miles, 2 times a year = 2 many excuses. Jared nukes the crybabies.⚠️ Cyber Threats at Dual-Use Airports: Military ops could be vulnerable at shared civilian/military airfields.🛩️ Pacific War Training: KC-46 refueling ops ramp up for Indo-Pacific ops. Tyranny of distance is real.🧠 Planning B-2 Missions: Sleep studies, nutrition prep, and Weapon School grads behind the scenes.🔧 F-15EX Struggles: Cost down, but supply chains, cyber gaps, and insulation problems persist.🎉 Tech Sergeant Promotions: 25.6% get the bump—highest since 2021.

Send us a textStrap in, because this Daily Drop drops bombs—literally. Jared’s back from the San Diego Operator Training Summit and immediately diving into the nuclear circus known as Operation Midnight Hammer—the largest B-2 strike in U.S. history. We’re talking 125+ aircraft, deception ops worthy of Hollywood, and a casual flex on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. But don’t worry, the Pentagon swears it’s not “regime change.”Also in this episode:CENTCOM’s tanker games, shady KC-135 logistics, and a DoD recruiting task force that somehow thinks legal and public affairs are your new talent magnets (spoiler: they’re not).A Marine takes over the F-35 program, we slap “F-47” on our next-gen fighter because Trump said so, and someone in Oregon thinks they can tell the federal government what to do with the National Guard.Oh—and China’s getting military secrets from broke Army NCOs. Cool. Cool cool cool.This one's loaded with hot takes, hard truths, and the usual blend of sarcasm and side-eye from the Ones Ready crew. Buckle up, buttercup.🔥 Key Takeaways:🇺🇸 Operation Midnight Hammer: 125+ aircraft, including 7 B-2s dropping bunker busters on Iran. Largest B-2 op ever.🎭 Deception Game Strong: B-2s faked a trip to the Pacific—classic rope-a-dope move.☢️ Fordow Facility Hit: Heavy damage confirmed, but Iran probably played musical chairs with their gear ahead of time.🛢️ Strait of Hormuz Drama: Iran threatens to shut it down—Rubio calls it “economically disastrous.”🤡 DoD Recruiting Task Force: Featuring public affairs and lawyers.

Send us a textLet’s get one thing straight—this ain’t your typical Air Force hype-fest. Xavier Knapp went from "please God, not F-16s" to becoming the standout maintainer in Netflix’s Thunderbirds documentary. In this episode, we pull the curtain all the way back on what it really means to be a top-tier wrench-turner in the Air Force. Xavier shares the unfiltered truth about failing out of EOD, getting slapped in the face (literally) by maintenance, and grinding through 120° days and freezing nights to keep jets flying. He breaks down the hard-earned pride of maintenance culture, the myth and reality of the Thunderbirds, and why tight uniforms and tighter standards actually matter. If you think being a Thunderbird is all glitz and no grit, this one’s going to hurt your feelings. Let Xavier wreck your cynicism—and maybe inspire you to raise your own damn standards.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 “I didn’t want to be a crew chief… definitely not on F-16s.” Guess what he got.🧠 Failure isn't weakness—quitting is. Xavier failed EOD but stayed in and built a career.🔧 Maintainers hold the line.

It’s a leadership autopsy. And it's why he's allergic to your excuses.

Don’t bring your ego. Bring a notebook.🔥 Key Takeaways:Trent’s life wasn’t a prep course. It was a crucible.He didn’t “become” — he earned it through failure, growth, and relentless recalibration.Real leadership comes from scars, not slogans.If you're chasing the title but not the sacrifice, you missed the point.His pain didn’t make him bitter — it made him honest.Candidates think the pipeline is hard.

You get this episode.Peaches sits down with a recruiter who has seen every side of the Air Force: enlisted mechanic, disgruntled civilian, determined returnee, and now the face of Special Warfare recruiting across Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. This live Q&A is raw, real, and packed with advice you won’t find in any pamphlet.They cover everything from sneaky prior-service roadblocks and cross-training myths to what it’s like building a pipeline in a place where half the population still thinks “military” just means “Army.” If you're thinking about enlisting, crossing over, or even just wondering if 5'2" is too short to ruck 10 miles—this one’s for you.🔥 Key Takeaways:It took him 5 years and 8 months to get back in—but he never quit.Puerto Rico gets its first-ever full-time Special Warfare recruiter (and it shows).Prior-service lists?

Meanwhile, Air Force tankers take center stage, hypersonic weapons get a reboot (because we’re behind... again), and Space Force finally gets a toy that isn’t just PowerPoint.Plus: AI flight scheduling, Normandy’s long-overdue tribute, the F-35’s never-ending upgrade saga, and why the Naval Academy’s race-based admissions policy should’ve died long ago. Add some Trump, NATO posturing, and North Korean diplomacy (lol) for flavor.

Send us a textThe Pentagon is getting Spiderwebbed, CENTCOM’s begging for a faster arms dealer, and Iran claims it bagged three F-35s (with CGI receipts, naturally). In this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Jared rips through the absurdity of base security theater, why our military sales process might as well be faxed from 1996, and why trusting SpaceX while threatening to cancel their contracts is peak DoD dysfunction.Also—Space Force can’t track satellites if you build a Starbucks next to the antenna, China’s nukes are multiplying like rabbits, and apparently 100% ID checks are optional now? Buckle up—this episode’s a napalm blast of reality for anyone still clinging to the myth that we’re “ready” for the next war. Spoiler: We’re not.🔥 Key Takeaways:🕷️ Operation Spiderweb proves $500 drones can decimate billion-dollar bombers—Pentagon just realized that’s… bad.🐌 CENTCOM: “Hey, can we please not take 9 months to sell our allies a flashlight?”🎭 Iran claims to down F-35s, but forgets AI flight sim footage ≠ real combat footage.🚫 SpaceX builds our space program, DoD: “We might cancel… because Elon’s mean.”🎯 Travis AFB airlifted 55,000 lbs of aid while PCS chaos continues to crush morale.🧠 Gen.

Send us a textOnes Ready goes scorched earth on the Manda Bay attack—a tragic cocktail of leadership failure, intelligence gaps, and straight-up tactical laziness that left Americans dead and a base in flames. This isn’t just a “bad day at work” story—this is what happens when we let comfort, complacency, and half-baked threat assessments set the tempo.In this episode, we dissect the 2020 al-Shabaab attack on Manda Bay, Kenya, and the damning DoD report that followed. From unmanned gates to zero reaction plans, we break down just how avoidable this disaster was—and why the term “low-risk” might as well be a death sentence. Hard truths, hard lessons, and no pulled punches.🔥 Key Takeaways:“Unlikely target” became the most likely tragedy. Shocker.Manda Bay had zero guards at the airfield gate… during an active insurgency.U.S. personnel had no reaction plan in place. None. Zero. Nada.Intelligence was dismissed, ignored, or watered down until it was meaningless.Contractors doing critical security roles… and ghosting when it mattered most.The attackers walked in with RPGs like they were late for a dinner party.Al-Shabaab exploited every weakness—and the response was too little, too late.Leadership failed. Period. It wasn’t the troops—it was the system."Low risk" doesn't mean "no risk"—especially when the enemy gets a vote.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: Why Manda Bay matters01:10 – What was Manda Bay and why were we there?03:00 – The al-Shabaab attack timeline: minute by minute06:30 – What the DoD report really said (and didn’t say)09:00 – Breakdown of base security—or total lack thereof12:30 – Who ignored the warnings and why?15:00 – Leadership accountability: missing in action17:45 – Contractor chaos and absence of planning20:10 – Airfield gate security = complete joke22:00 – Lessons learned vs. lessons ignored24:00 – Final thoughts: Fix this or it’ll happen again🎯 Call-to-Actions:🧠 Like, subscribe, and punch the algorithm in the face.💬 Drop your thoughts: Was this leadership failure or a system-wide rot?🎙️ Leave a review if you want more episodes where weSupport 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...

From the Navy’s sixth-gen fighter dreams to Putin’s never-ending land grab, the episode covers it all. We’re talking U.S. evacuation plans in Bahrain, AFRICOM vs EUCOM turf wars, drone warfare budget gymnastics, and why building a micro nuke in Alaska is finally something to get excited about. Oh, and apparently we’re ready to go to war over Greenland…?If you like watching bureaucratic chaos unfold in real-time while Jared dunks on generals and defends SpaceX like it’s a religion, this one’s for you.🔥 Key Takeaways:🛩️ Navy still wants a sixth-gen fighter… but don’t count on the money.🇷🇺 Gen.

This episode is a tactical nuke on all the dumbass questions that keep clogging our inboxes like an MRE-induced constipation crisis.Are you 25 and feeling “too old”? Shut up. Asking if you should delay shipping because your runtime is 0.3 seconds off? Delay your dreams forever, why not. Unsure whether you should be a PJ, CCT, SR, or join the FBI to fight aliens with the CIA? We’re not your career counselor, Karen.This is the one-stop, soul-crushing episode you’ll be angrily timestamping and rage-sharing with your overthinking wannabe operator buddies. We cover:Magical age limits and why the pipeline doesn’t care about your birth yearWhy your “peak interest” is spelling itself out of selectionWhat training volume actually means (spoiler: you’re not doing enough)The truth about SpecWar lifestyle, hot teammates, and why Air Force has the hottest dudes AND best hotelsOh, and yes — we talk about “Hot Kyle.” Again.🔥 Key Takeaways:If you’re old enough to ask if you're too old, you’re old enough to shut up and ruck.Passing the IFT once isn’t special. Passing it exhausted, multiple times a day, is the baseline.No one cares about your backstory. Pick a job. Any job. And stop writing novels in our DMs.Treading water is the secret sauce. Who knew?AF SpecWar = world travel, SOF missions, 5-star TDYs, and elite-level eye candy.Delaying shipping “until you’re ready” is code for “I’ll never go.”If your dream job requires a needle and you faint at the sight of blood, maybe skip PJ.Blood of the Covenant > Water of the Womb.

Send us a textThe Daily Drop is here and this one is overflowing with fraud, firepower, and the federal fumble reel. Jared dives into the Pentagon’s latest week of insanity: $10.8B in fraud? Check. Hypersonic missiles making a comeback? Check. A free Qatari plane that’s somehow costing $400M to modify? Check. And that’s before we even get to the Air Force’s new anti-ship missile flex, transgender cadet policy chaos, and the absurd SpaceX-White House pissing match.Oh yeah—Space Force nostalgia? F-47 cockpit speculation? Missileer cancer rates? Welcome to another episode of “Who’s Driving This Thing?” The answer is: no one. Absolutely no one.🔥 Key Takeaways:NATO Supreme Commander: Now with five jobs, zero chill.$10.8B in Pentagon fraud = “Not that much” but also a ton.F-47 NGAD is the Raptor’s hot younger cousin—hopefully cheaper.SOCOM still moves faster than Big Blue when it comes to acquisition.Air Force’s new QuickSink missile is terrifyingly effective.40% of missileers possibly affected by cancer risk.

Send us a textStrap in, nerds. This episode is Peaches, raw and unfiltered—no Aaron, no Trent, no buffer. Just one man, one mic, and 46 minutes of Combat Controller origin story, featuring: childhood trauma via Lethal Weapon, a trifold pamphlet that somehow convinced him to join the Air Force, and a fratricide incident that definitely wasn’t in the recruiting video.If you've ever wondered how a 5’4” kid with a soccer background, a VHS tape, and a chip on his shoulder turned into a JTAC legend, mentor, podcaster, and actual military boogeyman—this is it. Plus, why leadership isn’t sexy, why “white carding” is a war crime (almost), and why service to others is still the hardest flex.🔥 Key Takeaways:Got recruited by a trifold PJ brochure and a cargo-strapped TV.Swapped to Combat Control mid-Hell Week—because the cadre gave one PowerPoint presentation.Operation Medusa: got nearly lit up by an A-10 during a fratricide incident caused by a campfire.Survived being blown up three times, a chute malfunction, and a helicopter crash—because why not.Weapon School taught him that “white carding” is ruining our future fights.The JTAC mission isn’t going away. You’re just not that important.“Peaches” came from his last name, and now you’ll never forget it. Branding, baby.The real flex? Service.

Send us a textIt’s another beautifully chaotic episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, and today we’re launching straight into the bureaucratic bonfire. Jared's back with updates so wild you’d think the Pentagon was drunk texting Congress. From billion-dollar GPS launches to PFAS exposure going prime time, we’re diving headfirst into drone dread, six-gen fighter delays, Space Force spending black holes, and the VA disability floodgates cracking wide open.Also: A WWII hero finally gets his due, Canada's prepping for WWIII by 2028, and NATO’s still hoping its members hit 2% defense spending...by 2036. Meanwhile, GPS going dark could cause global chaos (shocker), and everyone’s pretending we’ll somehow counter Ukraine-style drone strikes with... what, PowerPoints?🔥 Key Takeaways:Pentagon delays Navy’s fighter so Air Force can chase F-47 dreams. W.General Kane: “Innovation or bust” at the AI summit.CENTCOM, AFRICOM, and SOCOM swap out leadership like it’s Fantasy Football draft day.Ukraine’s drone game is savage. Ours?

And oh yeah — $38 MILLION for a child development center that could’ve bought an entire gated suburb in Vegas.We hit drone warfare’s brutal reality check, the baffling state of U.S. air defenses, and why letting China buy farmland next to our missile silos is somehow still legal. Spoiler: It shouldn’t be. This episode is fast, furious, and fired up. If you're not yelling at the sky by the end, check your pulse.🔥 Key Takeaways:NATO wants 5% GDP defense spending.

Send us a textWelcome to another episode of the “Daily Drop,” where Jared breaks down the chaos disguised as a defense budget. We’re talking about a $1 trillion spendathon featuring: cutting cybersecurity staff during peak cyber threat season, trying to mass-produce drones in 24 hours with foreign parts we don’t make, and senior leaders treating AI like it’s witchcraft.You’ll also get the inside scoop on how our Space Force is flexing with rapid GPS launches (kind of), why cutting Air Force Academy faculty could kneecap future warfighters, and which senator is still obsessed with moving Space Command for no tactical reason.PLUS: 🧠 AI resistance from boomers 📉 Education cuts that make zero sense 🚀 “Golden Dome” missile defense in name only 💦 And 12 hours in a pool of suffering with AFSW studs (that YOU can join)It’s military bureaucracy meets high school cafeteria food fight.

Send us a textIn this chaotic return to the Daily Drop, Jared barrels through a no-holds-barred rundown of DOD chaos, diplomatic double-speak, and the ongoing clown show in space. The Pentagon’s trying to win hearts and minds in Somalia with airstrikes, Space Force is low-key getting circled by Russian sats, and we’re hoping AI can save Indopaycom’s wargames. Spoiler: it won’t.Jared dives into all of it — including the Thunderbirds doc that actually slapped (yes, really), privatized base hotels, and a new Kunsan commander who’s literally cleaning up her husband’s mess. There’s also a raw take on the mental health industrial complex and why adding more psychologists might not fix what’s broken.Unfiltered. Unscripted. Possibly unhinged. This is the military news you should be getting, but definitely won’t from Public Affairs.🔥 Key Takeaways:Shangri-La Summit? More like Shangri-La-la-land — we’re not stopping China with vibes.Africa strikes doubled… but we’re still not solving anything.SpaceX is saving Space Force's ass one GPS bird at a time.Public Affairs left Jared hanging — AGAIN.AI in war games? Cool story.

In this brutally honest episode, Aaron and Jared break down the rise, stall, and redemption of one of the most talked-about Special Warfare candidates to come through the prep pipeline.You’ll hear about what it’s like to crush PSTs and still struggle, the lessons of humility when leadership doesn’t think you’re ready, and why “doing everything right” sometimes still ends with you getting dropped. But guess what? That doesn’t mean you’re done.This episode’s about embracing failure, owning the pain, and building back with twice the fight. If you’re preparing for A&S and think heart alone will get you through, press play. You’re gonna need more.🔥 Key Takeaways:💀 You can crush PSTs and still get dropped🧠 Special Warfare selection doesn’t care about potential—it demands performance🛑 Rylan got told “No.” Then “You’re not ready.” Then “Still no.”💡 The difference between being trainable vs. being ready right now🔁 Second chances come—but only if you’re humble enough to deserve them💬 Real mentorship requires honesty, not just motivation🥵 A&S is about pressure, not perfection🧭 You are not entitled to success—earn it every damn day⚔️ Leaders don’t pick the best—they pick who can survive with the team🔁 Ego kills.

Send us a textLet’s get one thing straight—Charlie Faint isn’t just an intel officer. He’s the intel officer that made it through JSOC, the 160th, and now West Point without once becoming a PowerPoint nerd with security clearance delusions. In this episode, we dig into his warrior-scholar journey—from nearly drowning in a flight suit during selection to launching the Havoc Journal and mentoring cadets who think Platoon is a recruiting video.We cover everything: JSOC mythos, combat intel screw-ups, the Rangers' OPSEC paranoia, mentoring Gen Z cadets with TikTok attention spans, and what happens when your daughter accidentally drops a no-strike target’s name over a monitored call. You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You’ll probably get flagged by the NSA.🔥 Key Takeaways:How Charlie nearly failed selection because of a buoyant flight helmet—and why he refused to quit.What it's really like to work intel inside JSOC and the 160th.Why the Rangers are more scared of OPSEC violations than combat.The origin story of Havoc Journal and how it became the literate grunt’s favorite blog.How West Point cadets are smarter than we were—but still need a “bull elephant” mentor to stay on track.What Call of Duty and Predator drone feeds have in common (hint: team bonding).Why trust is everything, and how an imagery guy named Smitty saved an entire air mission with a gut call.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro and “we swear he’s the smart intel guy” 01:30 – Charlie’s military lineage and why he joined 05:00 – JSOC family tree and childhood revelations 08:30 – West Point cadet trends and “the military caste system” 13:00 – Getting humbled in Green Platoon 18:00 – Intel guy vs. underwater harness test (spoiler: fail) 22:00 – Why 160th included him in real ops 28:00 – Trust, Smitty, and a 75% landing risk 33:00 – Havoc Journal origin story 38:00 – OPSEC horror stories: Ranger edition 43:00 – Mentorship and why Gen Z is gonna be just fine 50:00 – Advice for future leaders: “Get in the damn box first.” 59:00 – Final thoughts and where to find Charlie’s workSupport 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...
Send us a textIt started with jokes about zippers and tight flight suits—and somehow ended with tears, respect, and emotional damage. In this episode, Jared and Aaron go full live-reaction mode to Netflix’s Thunderbirds documentary, expecting to roast some high-speed sky dancers… but end up with a full-blown redemption arc, complete with G-locks, dumb call signs, and some real leadership lessons.They question if the show is harder than combat, mock staged B-roll, and coin the term “Swag Maintainer,” all while secretly (and not-so-secretly) falling in love with the team. This isn’t just about airplanes doing tricks—it’s about pride, sacrifice, pain, and the power of not sucking when it counts. Bonus points if your call sign isn’t “Primo.”🔥 Key Takeaways:🧠 “Building the team from scratch” is a myth. Stop the Olympic tryout cosplay.💀 3.2% casualty rate over 70 years—flying ain't safe.🧻 Primo gets grilled in every debrief. It hurts. We’ve all been there.🤯 Thunderbirds training is more intense than most people think—especially when your blood tries to leave your brain.🛫 The visuals? Unreal. Netflix flexed harder than the pilots.🦾 Maintainers are the real MVPs. Shoutout to Knapp and the E-dogs.🎓 Threat = Great call sign.

Send us a textToday’s drop is brought to you by… anger, caffeine, and one last damn slot for the Operator Training Summit. Jared’s back with a full-frontal assault on the newest batch of DoD clownery: airframes that are being “upgraded” before they even exist, moving programs that still don’t move anything, and bonus cuts that would make a finance troop cry in DFAS-approved tears.We’ve got everything from Russia testing nuclear air-to-air missiles to the Space Force getting 3% of the budget while being told to dominate orbit. The E-7 still isn’t here, China is casually infiltrating American data systems, and the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program might bankrupt us before it ever flies. Meanwhile, the military’s entire PCS and EFMP system is straight-up FUBAR’d, and CardoMax is the only thing holding the line.🔥 Key Takeaways:🪦 Army’s Old Guard places 260,000 flags at Arlington. Respect where it’s due.🇬🇧 U.S. secures 100-year lease on Diego Garcia from the UK. Didn’t even know they owned it.🛜 National Guard runs Cyber Yankee to prep for real-world infrastructure hacks.🤖 DoD wants “small AIs” now. Translation: ChatGPT made them nervous.🚛 Moving system still broken. EFMP clearance times now longer than a damn deployment.✈️ Air Force upgrading the F-47... which doesn’t even exist yet.💣 B-52s to Spain, just in case Russia forgets what deterrence looks like.🛑 Boeing’s E-7 delays have Jared foaming at the mouth (again).💸 Tax-free bonuses proposed. Bring them back. Stop playing games.🛰️ Space Force gets 3% of the budget and still gets blamed for everything.🚀 ULA is fumbling rockets. Meanwhile, SpaceX is still doing SpaceX things.💀 Russia testing nuclear air-to-air missiles. Totally fine.🌪️ NOAA predicts hurricane season from hell.💰 CCA program costs are skyrocketing.

Send us a textWelcome back, peasants. In this spicy no-ads-needed episode, the Ones Ready crew tears into the mind-numbing chaos that is the DoD’s budgeting incompetence. From canceled bonuses to SkillBridge chaos and the eternal mystery of why military uniforms fit nobody, this is your front-row seat to the clown show that is Pentagon-level “planning.”Also? If you thought complaining about gear was just a “female” issue, strap in. We’re about to tell you why literally everyone from PJs to SEALs has been modifying crap for decades—and no, it’s not the patriarchy, it’s just government contracts. Plus, the AC-130 gets its flowers, JC’s got Overwatch, and somehow we talk about dental X-rays and slings made from Pelican hooks.🔥 Key Takeaways:Pentagon budgeting is a bureaucratic black hole. SRBs? Gone. SkillBridge? Delayed. You? Screwed.No, it’s not “easy” to move money—it’s like trying to rewire a dying mainframe with duct tape and a bad attitude.“Color of money” doesn’t mean green. It means legal nightmares, earmarked funds, and misused millions.Everyone modifies their gear. Cry harder. Buy better.Females aren’t being singled out—EVERYONE’s body armor sucks.Riggers are the unsung heroes of the force. Sandbags? Custom sling setups? Hook your bros up.AC-130 gunships: still the most comforting white noise in combat.Yes, you’re different after years of service.

Send us a textIf today’s Pentagon brief were a movie, it’d be a dark comedy with no budget and a glitchy drone trying to play hero. Jared returns with another savage rundown of everything broken in military bureaucracy—from the $18B PCS debacle to the Air Force accidentally playing bumper cars with drones mid-flight.We’re talking Space Force funding so bad it’s practically space homelessness, transgender policy whiplash, B-21 bombers being bought like Costco bulk snacks, and a DoD so addicted to credit it’d make Congress blush. Add in China flexing its missile game and our response being “eh, maybe 145 bombers will fix it,” and you’ve got today’s briefing.This episode’s got radar bombs, hurricane hunters, lost civilian jobs, and a new Air Force Secretary who hopefully doesn’t suck at graduation speeches.🔥 Key Takeaways:📦 PCS program gets another overhaul—because setting fire to $18B wasn’t enough.💔 Over half of military spouses hate PCS moves. Welcome to the suck.✂️ DISA slashes 10% of its workforce… because who needs secure comms anyway?✈️ Air Force might buy 145 B-21s. No worries, it’s only the price of a small country.💥 Minuteman III ICBM launch reminds enemies (and Congress) we still got the juice.❄️ Alaska’s getting a new training center—virtual murder in the snow, coming 2029.🎓 New SecAF to speak at USAFA graduation. Fingers crossed it’s not a snoozefest.🌪️ Hurricane Hunters are back to fly into hell for science. Mad respect.🇮🇷 F-15s to Diego Garcia for Iran flexing. Power projection 101.🛸 F-16 hit by drone in training. Not Ukraine. Arizona.🚫 Space Force gets 3% of the DoD budget. That’s not underfunded. That’s criminal.🛰️ NGA & Space Force try to not step on each other’s ISR toes.🧾 Military IDs now count as Real ID for travel—cool, but about time.⚖️ House Dems drop a bill to protect transgender troops.🖼️ 2,000 museums are free for military families. Take your kids before we cut funding.🪖 Governors fight Space Force personnel transfers like it's a custody battle.🇨🇳 China’s jet & missile game?

Jared unleashes on everything from the sketchiest Air Force One replacement idea ever (thanks, Qatar) to Golden Dome missile pipe dreams and the absolute circus that is Cyber Command’s latest identity crisis.We’re also sending ICE to Marine bases, cutting 14% of Space Force civilians (brilliant), and relying on $26 million to keep Reserve pilots in the sky. Oh, and if you thought privatizing base lodging was gonna save anyone money—LOL, you’re adorable.All this while the Air Force plays catch-up with drone integration, and Netflix somehow makes the Thunderbirds look cost-effective. Welcome to another day in the Pentagon’s magical clown tent.🔥 Key Takeaways:🛡️ Golden Dome Missile Defense: $1.75B and three years to protect… Canada?🎖️ Afghanistan withdrawal finally under review. No accountability yet, but hey, panels!🧠 Cyber Command wants to cosplay as SOCOM now. Cool idea, bad execution.🪖 20,000 National Guard troops might be tasked with immigration enforcement.

Send us a textIn this extended Daily Drop, Jared unleashes a tactical nuke of sarcasm on the Pentagon’s parade of WTF decisions. From billion-dollar contracts imploding to Airmen stuck in retirement limbo, it’s clear nobody’s steering this defense dumpster fire. Cyber Command wants to be SOCOM now (because that worked so well before), troops can’t move because the PCS fairy ran out of money, and SpaceX is somehow our last hope in space. Also: PFAS water, political drama, and Congress failing military families… again.If you like your military updates with a side of rage and real talk, you’re in the right TOC.🔥 Key Takeaways:🍿 Pete Hexeth goes from DoD to NASCAR grand marshal. Sure, why not.💾 Cyber Command wants to be SOCOM… but cyber.🚚 $18B moving contract fails harder than a 3-level on their first TDY.💸 Retirement and separation orders? Paused.

Send us a textBuckle up, Ones Ready fam, because this episode is a gut-punch of raw truth and unrelenting grit. We’re sitting down with Drew Outstanding (@drewoutstanding on X), a badass Army vet who went from slinging Applebee’s two-for-20s to slaying in Iraq, only to get sucker-punched by the DOD’s “safe and effective” COVID vaccine mandate. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t safe, and it damn sure wasn’t effective. One day after the jab, Drew was paralyzed, thrown into a medically induced coma, and diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. He spent six months as a human vegetable in the VA, drowning in his own saliva while bureaucrats played CYA. But this guy? He’s not just surviving—he’s thriving, hitting extreme sports, speaking truth to power, and making sure the world never forgets the COVID clown show. With Peaches and Jared dropping their signature sarcasm, this episode is a middle finger to the machine and a battle cry for resilience. Don’t miss it, unless you’re cool with Big Pharma running your life.Key Takeaways:The Mandate Mess: Drew’s story exposes the DOD’s vaccine mandate as a reckless gamble that left him paralyzed and fighting for his life. “Safe and effective”? More like “shut up and comply.”Grit Over Everything: From a coma to scuba diving and sit-down skiing, Drew’s recovery is proof that sheer will can flip the bird to even the darkest odds.No Apologies, No Accountability: The system that pushed the jab still hasn’t owned up. Drew’s on a mission to make sure we never forget the lies and lives wrecked.Speak Your Truth: Facing hate mail and censorship, Drew’s advice?

Send us a textIn this high-velocity “WTF is happening?” episode of the Ones Ready podcast, Jared pulls no punches breaking down the latest Pentagon finance dumpster fire—because apparently, the Air Force’s solution to a budget shortfall is to hit pause on YOUR retirement and nuke the Selective Retention Bonus mid-fiscal year. Classic.We’re talking cancelled bonuses, delayed separation orders, SkillBridge chaos, and the mind-blowing revelation that even the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force got blindsided. If you thought Big Blue had a plan, lol, think again.This isn't normal. This isn't routine. And it sure as hell isn't okay. Jared brings receipts, ETP breakdowns, and a warning to every operator banking on a transition plan that just went up in bureaucratic flames.🔥 Key Takeaways:The Air Force is out of money—mid-fiscal year. You read that right.Retirement/separation orders are being delayed until further notice if your date is in 2026 or later.SkillBridge? Yeah, good luck out-processing on time. Leadership says, “Manage your expectations.”ETPs (Exceptions to Policy) are only for mission-critical or personal disasters. Convenience doesn’t count.SRBs (Selective Retention Bonuses) for Spec War jobs were CANCELLED—no warning, no backup.Even the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force was kept out of the loop.

Send us a textMay 16’s Daily Drop is here, and it’s a clinic in chaos. Jared dives headfirst into a flaming pile of Air Force mismanagement, with everything from canceled retention bonuses to space-based missile defense initiatives nobody budgeted for.We’re talking about the Pentagon quietly prepping to boot transgender service members, the DoD admitting it can’t staff enough school counselors, and the Air Force building new ICBM silos because fixing the old ones would just be too easy.Meanwhile, Space Force is trying to juggle in-orbit refueling, satellite sensors, a “Golden Dome,” and stealing 600 Guardsmen — all while Airmen are out here getting ghosted on their bonuses.Oh, and Trump wants to build the “F-55.” Whatever that is.🔥 Key Takeaways:🚫 Retention bonuses canceled with zero warning. Airmen left holding the bag🚻 Transgender service members may face forced separation based on medical screenings🧠 DoD schools are collapsing under the weight of student mental health issues💣 New Sentinel ICBMs = new silos. The Cold War called, it wants its nukes back🛰️ Golden Dome? Cool name. No funding💸 The Air Force: Still broke, still over budget, still somehow buying jets🧪 In-orbit refueling is neat, but launching new satellites might be cheaper👮‍♂️ 600 Guard troops forcibly transferred to Space Force = political firestorm🛰️ Space-based AMTI sensors might eventually let us ditch aging E-3s🤯 Trump proposes an F-55 jet. Experts say, “Yeah… that's not how jets work”💵 3.8% pay raise proposed.

Send us a textStrap in, degenerates. In this brutally honest, no-holds-barred episode of Ones Ready, we sit down with Recon Marine, The War Journal author, intelligence community insider, and potential future Ambassador to Afghanistan—James. Freakin’ Sisco.This isn’t your average “rah-rah” war story episode. Sisco takes us deep into the grit and grime of Desert Storm, recounts the absolute hilarity of rolling into combat with Oakleys and Guns N’ Roses, and then slams you into an emotional brick wall with betrayal, loss, and the aftermath of trauma stuffed into a rucksack for 30 years.From saving lives with a handwritten journal to calling BS on the Medal of Honor fame train, Jim serves up reality checks hotter than a desert MRE. He even casually drops that he's running a global risk advisory firm, trying to be Charge d’Affaires to Afghanistan, and working on a freakin’ miniseries with the Marine Corps.This episode is raw. It's hilarious. It's painful. It's human. It's what happens when the mission ends and the real battle begins—with yourself.🔥 Key Takeaways:🇺🇸 From recon badassery to best-selling author by total accident💥 Laugh-out-loud chaos and devastating trauma from Desert Storm🧠 Why therapy might help—but being a decent f***ing friend definitely will🎖️ Calls out the "Hero Tour" and Medal of Honor ego complex🇦🇫 Afghanistan: what the maps don't show, and why he wants to fix it📘 The War Journal literally saved a life—and it's not just a “vet book”🧢 Mental health isn’t solved with checklists and lobster tail🧪 Why confidence beats therapy buzzwords any day of the week🚀 Marine turned diplomat?

Send us a textIn today's savage May 15th Daily Drop, Jared delivers a glorious roast of Air Force bureaucracy, tone-deaf budgeting, and defense priorities so backwards you'd think they were developed by a Magic 8 Ball.Retention bonuses? Gone. Your SRB? Vamoosed. But hey, at least the Pentagon hired a guy from Uber to help us with hypersonics and laser beams, right?From billion-dollar drone dogfights to literal ducks taking down million-dollar F-16s (no, seriously), this episode is a spicy mix of fiscal disaster, misplaced priorities, and hot takes on why the F-47 probably won’t fly before your next retirement ceremony.We hit Pentagon hotline failures (you had one job), Space Force begging for data funds, and some spicy chatter about China’s jets being slightly better than India’s flying museum pieces. Also, there’s a plot to bomb an Army base using drones and Molotovs… because of course there is.If you love chaos, caffeine, and calling out DoD idiocy—this one's for you.🔥 Key Takeaways:💸 Air Force cuts all retention bonuses mid-fiscal year. Morale = dumpster fire.🤖 Pentagon brings in an Uber exec to fix AI, lasers, and hypersonics. This’ll go great.🐦 A duck took out an F-16 engine. $1.3 million worth of “quack.”💡 Light-based data links > radio waves for space. Yes, we’re talking lasers now.🇨🇳 China’s J-10s shoot down Indian Rafales. Don’t panic. Yet.🛰️ Space Force budget slashed again. Because who needs satellites, right?📦 Indo-PACOM gear is being pre-staged—because surprise wars aren’t fun.☎️ Pentagon hotline to Reagan National is dead. Since 2022.

Send us a textBuckle up, patriots. In this episode of Ones Ready, Jared delivers your May 14th intel drop with a healthy dose of snark, sarcasm, and sheer disbelief. From raiding facility repair budgets to secure the border (bye-bye, AC in Vegas) to an AI tool that’s definitely not Ultron (yet), we hit the military’s greatest hits of misplaced priorities and bureaucratic buffoonery.We cover the Pentagon's latest budgeting antics, DoD AI ambitions (because what could go wrong?), a suspiciously optimistic F-47 timeline, and a childcare crisis that screams, "We love our troops—just not their kids." Add in a Space Force budget tantrum, India's surgical flex on Pakistan, and a friendly reminder that PFAS is still turning your water into poison.You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll probably question your enlistment contract.🔥 Key Takeaways:🧱 Border security gets $1B… at the expense of broken barracks and black mold.🤖 AI-powered threat prediction sounds cool—until it’s targeting your face.✈️ The F-47: coming "soon" (read: not a chance in 2025).🍼 Holloman AFB has no childcare, but thank God we saved $8 on lawn care.🌍 Space Force wants 25% of the DoD budget. They currently get 3%. Cue the tiny violin.⚔️ India hit Pakistan with receipts—literally. Satellite images don’t lie.💧 PFAS is still in your water.

Peaches is back with the May 13th Pentagon dumpster fire, bringing you face-to-face with the DoD’s awkward puberty phase—complete with budget panic, stop-loss PTSD flashbacks, anti-satellite power moves, and the government realizing maybe it should let junior officers make some decisions. Also: cannon fodder for Cannon AFB (again), HIMARS over Taiwan, and a real-life Olympian joining the Air Force after drowning (and surviving). You literally can’t make this up.Still sleeping on the Operator Training Summit? Four slots left. You don’t want to be the one DM’ing after it’s full, begging for forgiveness.

From the Pentagon’s DEI purge to putting cruise missiles on MQ-9s (because why not?), we’re diving deep into the bureaucratic chaos of the DoD’s week. We question why the hell an OA-1K would carry a cruise missile, throw shade at “aspirational” tech projects, and get uncomfortably honest about childcare, base closures, and how many damn generals are collecting paychecks. Also, our only search and rescue dog retires, and it gets emotional. Pour one out for Callie.Meanwhile, only four slots remain for the Operator Training Summit—12 hours in the pool, mask clearing, buddy breathing, underwater misery and mentorship with the Ones Ready crew.

Send us a textYou’ve asked. We’ve avoided. But today? We answer. In this no-holds-barred, caffeine-fueled episode, Aaron and Trent finally break down what Special Reconnaissance (SR) actually does—why it exists, why it’s not just “Air Force Marine Recon,” and why anyone trying to say “but SEALs can do that” needs to go touch grass.Trent—who literally helped write the playbook for SR—lays out why the Air Force had to level up from SOWT, why SR isn’t a clone of other recon units, and how SR brings a capability-based solution to Air Force-specific problems in the next-gen fight. Oh, and if you think it’s just “guys sneaking around in ghillie suits,” strap in. We’re talking intel, electronic warfare, environmental sensing, sniper school, free fall, and (hopefully) dive recovery missions… all while bridging the gap between air assets and ground teams.Also: Why the Air Force finally realized being “just an enabler” wasn’t cutting it anymore, how SOCOM called their bluff, and why SR isn’t meant to just “loan guys out” to other services. This is your crash course on why SR isn’t weather anymore—and why it’s a critical wedge in the special warfare team.👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment, leave a review, check out the membership, and grab some merch at OnesReady.com. And if you’re thinking about SR or AFSPECWAR, get your butt to the Operator Training Summit in June.🔥 Key Takeaways:🛩️ SR fills an Air Force-specific recon gap—fixing problems only AF teams can solve.🔥 It’s about capabilities, not just bodies: think EW, intel, environmental sensing.🎯 SR trains in sniper school, freefall, dive (hopefully), and advanced recon courses.🤔 “Why does the AF need recon?” Easy: you want AF teams solving AF problems.📡 SR acts as the tactical arm of Air Force intel & electronic warfare.🚀 It’s not about loaning guys out—it’s about enabling airpower in the next-gen fight.💥 Put an SR guy on a hill with a JTAC and you’ve got overwatch, situational awareness, and kinetic capability all wrapped up.🧠 SR adds synergy to the special warfare team: 1+1 = 3.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Quick Hitter: “What’s SR?” 01:Support 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...

Meanwhile, the Air Force is overhauling basic training again (spoiler: it might actually get hard), Space Force is still figuring out who’s supposed to do what, and DoD firefighters are overworked and underpaid (but hey, thanks for showing up!).Also on deck: the U.S. tests a reusable hypersonic missile (finally catching up to China), Tricare’s paperwork hell drags on, and Congress realizes that refurbishing 60-year-old missile silos is maybe not the best idea.

Meanwhile, the Space Force is out here casually “dogfighting” Chinese satellites in orbit and looking for AI to figure out where their satellites even are.Oh, and we’ve got a guy in a literal jetpack doing an untethered spacewalk (because apparently the 80s were WILD), the Army making a Space Ops MOS (because soldiers apparently needed another badge), and the Pentagon’s latest brainstorm: drone-killing tech that’s safe for civilians.

Welcome to the April 30th edition of the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the actual DoD news that gets sent to generals...and then we make fun of it.From failed Firefly launches to tribal warfare over F-15EX seating arrangements, this episode is basically the Pentagon's group chat with better commentary. Also, find out which documentary produced by the Obamas might make you respect the Thunderbirds (but probably won’t), and why the “Women, Peace, and Security” program was killed for being “woke,” even though it came from the Trump administration. Yeah, we’re confused too.Stick around for:A take on why AI still scares generals more than enlisted TikToksA borderline unhinged breakdown of why drone swarms are everyone's problemWhether dropping 500lb bombs equals dead livestock in Houthi press releasesThoughts on Thunderbirds, martial law, and why fake rifles in basic are weak sauceAnd yes—don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment, check out 18AlphaFitness, and hit up the Ones Ready merch store.

This week, Ones Ready goes nuclear with Matt Cubbler — Army veteran, retired cop, and the man Special Operations would really prefer you ignore. We dive into why Matt’s been dubbed the “SEAL Killer” (spoiler: it’s not because he stormed a compound) and how decades of government gaslighting, backroom deals, and military industrial self-worship led to the cover-ups of heroes like John Chapman and Job Price.From exposing the Wizard-of-Oz level fraud inside the SEAL brand, to calling out the government's disturbing addiction to "just trust us, bro," this episode rips the mask clean off. If you're still clinging to bedtime stories about flawless American heroism, go ahead and unsubscribe now — it's about to get real uncomfortable.Stay tuned, stay mad, and don't forget: If you're not questioning it, you're part of it.🔥 Key Takeaways:Government Gaslighting 101: Matt’s first-hand account of realizing the “system” was built on preserving itself — not truth.The John Chapman Cover-Up: How crystal-clear video footage STILL couldn't break through the Pentagon’s PR machine.Who Killed Job Price?

Send us a textWelcome to another savage Daily Drop where Jared sifts through the Pentagon’s greatest hits — everything from the Air Force shoving 31 more fighters into Korea, to Space Force getting table scraps for a budget, to the shocking revelation that 66% of the Guard and Reserve are apparently auditioning for "My 600-lb Life: Military Edition."Along the way, we roast the Signal App scandal (spoiler: everyone uses it), laugh at the "makeup room" conspiracy (Hexeth allegedly turned the Pentagon green room into Sephora), and wonder why America still thinks tanks are cooler than satellites. Also: a reality check on why Uber is cheaper than ruining lives with a DUI.Buckle up.

Send us a textStrap in, team—we're back in the team room with retired Chief Ivan Ruiz, legendary PJ, Katrina rescuer, INDOC instructor, and all-around certified badass. We’re talking about the upcoming PJ Rodeo, but let’s be honest, this episode quickly turns into a firestorm of nostalgia, brutal honesty, and unapologetic takes on what’s going right—and VERY wrong—with Air Force Special Warfare.From the high-angle ropes event at South Point Casino to shooting comps, Monster Mash med drills, and jump events open to the public, this year’s rodeo isn’t just a reunion—it’s a mission. We highlight why the Association and Foundation still matter, why the new pipeline model might be wrecking community culture, and why having your mom at your recruiter meeting might be the red flag of the century.We also get real about silent professionals, the identity crisis in AFSPECWAR, and the gut punch of watching “toughness” get traded for lab coats and PowerPoints.🔥 Key Takeaways:- PJ Rodeo 2025 is live in Vegas, June 16–21—public welcome. Bring your boots.- Open call: small businesses, sponsors, and silent pros—support your own or stop complaining.- The old INDOC course? Brutal. Legendary. Respected. Still undefeated in shaping warriors.- Rocks in pools, buddy drags, and mask/snout punishment weren’t hazing.- PJs aren’t granola-eating hippies.

Send us a textThis week on Ones Ready, Aaron and Peaches dive into an episode that’s part roast, part rock anthem, and part tactical life lesson—mostly about how not to book an Airbnb. What started as a “members only” chat quickly spiraled into Nickelback fanboying, ruined daughters with backstage passes, and tactical breakdowns of why doom-ups are Satan’s favorite underwater evolution. We cover everything from civilian helicopters to hot air balloon jumps, operator training summits, and the exact moment Aaron got seduced by a business class seat.Meanwhile, Trent’s missing (again), living his best life backstage with Canada’s greatest export, while Aaron is out here trying not to get PTSD from dolls in his Airbnb bedroom. You’re not ready for this one—and that’s fine, because neither were we.🔥 Key Takeaways:Trent ditched the pod for Nickelback. Bold move, Cotton.Backstage passes + first class flights = parenting mistakes you can’t walk back.Civilian helicopter tours = hell no. But V-22s? Apparently fine.Doom-ups are proof that instructors have a personal vendetta against your sinuses.Operator Training Summits are NOT smoke sessions—they’re your only shot at doing things right before it’s too late.Aaron’s the guy who gets mistaken for an asshole online but heals your soul in person. Surprise!Peaches books an Airbnb called The Dollhouse. It is exactly what it sounds like.Yes, we’re still figuring this out. No, we’re not sorry.🧠 PSA: If you think Nickelback sucks, we challenge you to not sing along when “How You Remind Me” comes on. Go ahead. We’ll wait.👉 Like. Subscribe. Comment. Review.

Send us a textBuckle up, because Ones Ready is dropping a banger with Anthony “Donny” Donahue, a guy who’s lived more lives than a cat with a death wish. From dodging jail time to crushing Navy SEAL BUD/S, serving as one of the only Arabic-speaking SEALs in Iraq, and then—because why not?—ditching his officer gig to become an Air Force Pararescueman, Donny’s story is a middle finger to the ordinary. Now, he’s gunning to be the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, repping his fourth-generation Filipino roots and a military legacy that screams badassery. Aaron unpacks his journey with zero chill, from battlefield interrogations with Jocko to raw-dogging life without a phone in 2025 (yes, really). This episode is a Molotov cocktail of grit, sarcasm, and a call to rally the SOF community to get Donny’s name in front of the right eyes.  Key Takeaways:  - Donny went from juvenile trouble to VMI to SEAL Team glory—proof the system can’t tame a savage with a purpose.  - Two years in Iraq as an Arabic-speaking SEAL? Yeah, he was the unicorn Jocko’s platoon didn’t know they needed.  - Resigning his commission to go enlisted PJ was peak “screw your desk job” energy—respect the hustle.  - No phone, just an iPad mini and Wi-Fi vibes—Donny’s living like it’s 1995, and we’re low-key jealous.  - Ambassador to the Philippines? His Filipino DNA and SOF street cred make him the guy to bridge nations, no cap.Call-to-Actions:Alright, you legends, it’s time to move out! Smash that like button like it’s a BUD/S surf torture session. Subscribe so you don’t miss us roasting the next hero. Drop a comment—tell us why Donny’s the man for the Philippines or how you’d survive without a phone (spoiler: you wouldn’t).

Today's episode is jammed with everything from micro nuclear reactors to the Space Command slap fight, and we even toss in some childcare policy chaos—because why not?Jared breaks down what the Air Force and Space Force are actually up to (spoiler: some of it's impressive, some of it's… less so).

Throw in DEI purges, child care collapse, and a disgraced AFSOC leader, and you've got a government that’s firing on no cylinders.We cover real estate speculation, government hiring freezes that move slower than molasses in formation, and why Canada’s aircraft shopping spree might be a Costco mistake.🔥 Key Takeaways:Colorado is bougie, but Huntsville comes with humidity.Space Command is conducting 100% of operations from a basement.NSA definitely needs better op-sec on Signal.Alabama: because civilians LOVE relocating.13 computer nerds are about to rage-quit the Pentagon.AFSOC gets messy (again).If you think child care isn’t a readiness issue, think again.Timestamps:0:00 — Operator Summit & Barbell Apparel Hype1:22 — What Even *Is* the Daily Drop?2:30 — Space Command: Alabama vs. Colorado Cage Match4:52 — Nobody Wants to Move to the South (Except Peaches)6:10 — Signal Chat Snitching & Classified Leaks7:35 — Pentagon Nerd Exodus: DDS Team Resigns9:12 — B-21 Raider: Stealth Bomber, Budget Monster10:08 — DEI Book Purge Round 311:00 — Base Commander Caught Playing NCO Tinder12:00 — AFSOC Senior Enlisted: RIP Career13:15 — Ground Radar & METROLAND’s Jammer Party14:28 — Childcare Meltdown at Every Base Ever16:05 — Why the Government Can’t Hire Anyone (Still)17:20 — North Korea Gets a Birthday B-1B Salute17:50 — Balikatan Exercise: We Flex, China Panics18:35 — Hypersonic HASTE: Catch-Up Tech19:10 — Europe’s F-35 Logistics & Canada Buys Gripens20:35 — CCA vs. Quantity: Tactical Tinder for Jets21:58 — Nuclear Deterrence: Still a Thing👉 Like, subscribe, comment, leave a review, join the membership, and grab some merch before the Pentagon contracts it out to Spirit Halloween.Support 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...
Send us a textIn this delightfully grim and accidentally informative Daily Ops Brief, Peaches breaks down the Pentagon's latest hits—from promoting a retired Guard general (cue the four-star meltdowns) to “oops-we-erased-history” DEI compliance, all while dunking on the commissary’s soggy sandwiches and the illusion of DoD fiscal responsibility.If you've ever wondered how to:Launch rockets on a budgetJustify skipping base grocery runsNavigate forced cultural purges via AIOr survive Space Force acronyms without rage-quitting the internet ...this one's for you.Also, you’ll never look at sushi the same again.

Send us a textThis episode is what happens when a luxury leatherwork lunatic, a snake-breeding psycho, and a jiu-jitsu savage walk into a podcast studio—and it's the same damn guy. We sit down with AG, the founder of Toehold Flip-Flops and covert overlord of the reptilian fashion empire. From $65,000 snakes (yes, danger noodles with price tags) to handmade American flip-flops that slap harder than your DI at BMT, AG unpacks his borderline obsessive pursuit of excellence, legacy, and customer service that’s so savage it answers DMs on Christmas morning. If you're into craftsmanship, combat sports, counter-culture, or calling BS on corporate clowns, welcome to your new religion.🔥 Key Takeaways:🐍 Snake breeding isn’t just exotic—it’s art. $65K “nope ropes” are the new gold standard.🩴 Toehold’s flip-flops beat Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and Hermes in a street fight and in luxury.🇺🇸 "Made in America" shouldn’t be a slogan—it should be a damn threat.🤯 Customer service that answers faster than your Tinder match on Christmas Day.🧠 Psychotic obsession vs education. (Seventh grade dropout vs most CEOs.)🥋 Jiu-jitsu, Glock porn, gear queers, and why cave divers are Darwin Award nominees.💡 Business isn't about being different.

Send us a textPeaches’ back with the Ones Ready Daily Drop, serving up the Department of the Air Force’s juiciest news with a side of zero-BS commentary that’ll make bureaucrats cry. From SpaceX dunking on ULA to become the Space Force’s launch daddy, to the Pentagon slashing IT contracts like a bad breakup, this episode is a rollercoaster of military shake-ups. Oh, and let’s not forget General Dan Cain’s 9/11 gut-check or the Air Force Academy’s faculty cuts that scream “penny-pinching gone wrong.” Peaches doesn’t hold back, calling out the CV-22’s gearbox saga and questioning the Insurrection Act’s J6 vibes. It’s a snarky, no-filter dive into what’s shaking the DoD, with enough shade to keep you smirking.  Key Takeaways:  SpaceX is eating ULA’s lunch, snagging Space Force launch contracts while dropping NRO payloads like it’s no big deal.  The Pentagon’s saving $4.2B by axing IT deals, but Jared’s not sold on slashing budgets without a brain.  General Dan Cain’s confirmed as Joint Chiefs chair—here’s hoping he fixes the acquisition mess before it implodes.  The CV-22 gearbox fix is coming, but why’d it take crashes to figure out it’s been janky forever?  Insurrection Act talk has Jared side-eyeing hard—J6 wasn’t an “insurrection,” so let’s not give the DoD a blank check to play cop.Call-to-Actions:Yo, patriots, let’s move!

Send us a textTrent and Peaches are back on the Ones Ready podcast, and this members-only episode is a no-holds-barred roast of Hollywood’s war movie obsession, questionable haircuts, and the veteran life nobody talks about. From dunking on Fury’s overhyped tank drama to unpacking why Brad Pitt’s smolder doesn’t make him a thespian god, these two bring the heat with zero filter. They also dive into the real grit—veterans navigating a world that thinks they’re either broken or Rambo, and why everything’s suddenly a “mental health crisis.” Expect sarcasm, contrarian hot takes, and a side of Nickelback love (because why not?). This ain’t your average podcast—it’s a verbal frag grenade for the initiated.  Key Takeaways:  Fury’s tank bromance is overrated, and Brad Pitt’s haircut doesn’t deserve its own fan club.  Hollywood’s veteran portrayals are lazy—either you’re a ticking time bomb or a caped crusader, no in-between.  The world’s not as soft as you think, but good luck convincing civilians to ditch their bubble wrap mindset.  Nickelback’s meme status is peak internet stupidity—they’re still selling out shows while haters cry into their IPAs.  Veterans don’t need fixing; they need people to stop assuming they’re one bad day from digging a foxhole in their front yard.Call-to-Actions:Yo, if you’re still here, smash that like button like it’s a Hollywood cliche.

Send us a textWelcome back to another episode where Peaches, Aaron, and a walking EOD war story—Charles Howell—drag you down memory lane... kicking and screaming. From nearly tattooing a crab on his chest before basic training to blowing up more IEDs than most people blow up relationships, Charles spills the entire chaotic tea of his two-decade detonation tour.We talk about how EODs were treated like the “red-headed stepchildren of CE,” the comedic incompetence of leadership during actual combat deployments, and the golden age of malicious compliance (spoiler: his commander got too many phone calls). Oh—and apparently, if you failed your first test at the schoolhouse? Congrats, there’s a selfie of you somewhere making rounds at the EOD bar circuit.This episode has everything:A Marine getting trolled into oblivion over a lost fuseXbox Kinect motion sensors used to kill helicoptersPJ and EOD instructors emotionally scarring students (who definitely still remember)Sunlight on Peaches’ nose ruining the episode’s aestheticIf you’re one of those parents asking questions for your kid at the recruiter’s office—buckle up. Charles has thoughts. And no, you’re not going to Deloitte, Karen. You’re joining the military. Maybe.🔥 Key Takeaways:Charles Howell joined because 9/11 happened… and because Keanu Reeves in Speed sounded cool.The Air Force recruiter wore a tank top. The Marine wore dress blues. Guess who won.EOD school used to be chaos, now it’s structured chaos.Instructors didn’t remember you. That emotional scar? That’s all you, buddy.Iraq vs. Afghanistan: different wars, different trauma, same unprepared leadership.Some commanders were more worried about awards ceremonies than knowing where their deployed teams were.The Air Force still sometimes doesn’t know what EOD does—and that’s terrifying.Charles took the scout job voluntarily… because he’s broken and done deploying.🎯 Call-to-Actions: Like the show?

Quiet U.S. deployments, Frankenjets getting the spotlight like it’s breaking news, and the Pentagon resurrecting a 2019 Wuhan COVID report...You’re not crazy—this is just the new normal.Peaches dives deep into the week’s military madness, pulling no punches and dropping the kind of hot takes that make PAOs sweat. This episode isn’t about shock value—it’s about confirming your suspicions with a healthy dose of sarcasm, insider baseball, and some good ol’ bunker energy.If you thought the dysfunction was accidental, think again.🔥 Key Takeaways:$5.1B in defense cuts and no clear plan to absorb it—just “streamline and pray.”Civilians “voluntarily separating” while operations bleed out.Panama, South Korea, Ukraine... troop movements in the shadows.Golden Dome: not a shield, just a buzzword salad.Frankenjet isn’t a miracle—it’s maintenance 101.2019 Wuhan symptoms in U.S. troops?

Send us a textIn this heartwarming, sarcastic, slightly chaotic episode, Trent joins M42 Adventures to unpack 20 years of Air Force Special Warfare—and the wild decision-making process that got him there. Spoiler alert: It all started because he hated being told what to do... so naturally, he joined the military.We dive into what makes someone pursue a path where 90% of people fail, why burning your life down might be the best prep for basic training, and how Ones Ready accidentally became a podcast that survived five years, a global war, and zero profits.This is an episode for the ones who never fit the mold, who failed college but found meaning in uniform, and who figured out that purpose doesn’t come from clout—it comes from hard lessons, late nights, and unshakable discipline. And yeah, maybe a little stubbornness, too.You can find M42 Adventures on YouTube at: https://youtube.com/@m42_adventures?si=FenWAdC7eZKH5GTE🔥 Key Takeaways:Trent went from self-proclaimed “stubborn failure” to special ops instructor by doing the most Air Force thing possible: choosing structure over chaos.Military training pipelines: where 90% fail and 10% are too dumb to quit.“The itch” is real—whether it’s to serve, to suffer, or to find out what you're made of.College was a bust. Basic training was a buffet.Culinary school and special warfare have more in common than you think.Living on base is like working retail and sleeping in the stockroom. Don’t do it.Podcasting while active duty? Totally allowed. Just expect side-eyes from every commander ever.Retirement: Freedom through discipline, baby. Sleeping in is the new OPORD.Still no beard. Still no profits.

Send us a textToday’s Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast.We’ve got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Iran “just to say hi,” and service members getting offered their jobs back after being kicked out over a vaccine—because yeah, that’s how leadership works now. Oh, and Space Force might finally get to move to Huntsville, so go buy some land before another general does.From Air Force “Frankenjets” stitched together in a garage like military Frankenstein, to “mil-spec” gear that barely meets minimum standards, to ISR flights over the U.S.-Mexico border triggering cartel drone wars—this drop is full of “wait, what?” energy.🔥 Key Takeaways:Programs more than 15% over budget? Welcome to the chopping block. Sentinel ICBMs and Air Force One—your days might be numbered.B-2s deployed to Diego Garcia. Iran? Interpret that however you want.Vaccine holdouts have until April 26 to rejoin the party. About 400 out of 8,000 are biting.Air Force & Space Force canceled family days in 2025. Sorry, your BBQ just got operationally unfeasible.ISR missions on the southern border heating up as cartels start using drones. Special ops guys are getting itchy trigger fingers.“Frankenjet” is real—F-35A rebuilt from two wrecks for $11.7M. Frankenstein would be proud.Mar-a-Lago has had 25 no-fly zone violations this year. Apparently, no one reads charts.Space Force is working with South America to jam drug lords and track satellites. Sci-fi meets Narcos.Huntsville insiders probably already bought the land. Hope you’re not late to the party.Pentagon acquisition process: still slow, still broken, still helping China catch up.AI for defense: test fast or get left behind—but maybe don’t bet the war on ChatGPT just yet.“Mil-spec” just means it meets the bare minimum. You’re not special, Todd.🎯 Call-to-Actions: 🔥 Like this drop? Then like the video.

Send us a textThis one’s not for the weak-willed or the Twitter-triggered. We sat down with Dan Hollaway—co-host of Drinkin’ Bros, host of Citizen podcast, and certified “I’ll die on this hill (and you might too)” patriot—for a gut-punching, no-sugar-coating talk about the death of nuance, America’s dumbest political trends, and why your Tesla-hating barista might actually be on Beijing’s payroll.We go full send on:Tax policy idiocyUseful idiots from both sidesAmerica’s unique actually earned greatnessNASA, innovation, and how memory foam > MarxChina’s paper tiger meltdownAnd how our younger generation might just be the salvation we didn’t deserveIt's raw. It’s aggressive. It’s about time someone said this out loud.Also: If you're not willing to kill on your hill, why are you even talking?🔥 Key Takeaways:“We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training” applies to life, politics, and why college sophomores shouldn’t lecture Warren Buffett.America didn’t become great by being “nice.” It became great by creating, innovating, and steamrolling fascism—and it still is.If you think tribalism makes you principled, spoiler alert: you're just lazy.NASA is one of the only good government programs (shoutout to memory foam, CT scans, and space lasers).Paid protesters are real. They clock out at 4pm.Don’t confuse having “opinions” with having “principles.”You’re not oppressed if you can complain about the government on a podcast with zero consequence.China’s collapsing, and TikTok ain’t saving them.Patriotism doesn’t mean nostalgia—it means responsibility.Want to fix the country?

Send us a textIn today's spicy drop, Peaches' back after a one-day hiatus—sorry not sorry—and he’s coming in hotter than a Chinese stealth jet built entirely out of stolen parts. From the Pentagon reclaiming Panama like it's 1914, to the US Space Force asking for scraps while trying to refuel space warships mid-orbit, this one’s got everything: geopolitical hot takes, budget rants, and even a shoutout to F-15Es babysitting the Pacific while we wait for the F-15EXs to show up fashionably late.Oh, and that $2.1 TRILLION F-35 program? Apparently, it’s just a long-term payment plan that spans 100 years. You know, like student loans—but with jet engines.China's “J-36” makes an appearance, but Jared’s not buying the hype. After all, when 80% of your military tech is duct-taped IP theft, maybe don’t flex so hard.And if Congress can't pass a damn budget, maybe we should shut it all down and hard reset this clown show.You didn’t ask for this dose of snark, sarcasm, and space-fueled doomscrolling—but here it is.🔥 Key Takeaways:The U.S. wants Panama Canal custody back. Apparently, giving it away was “not great.”China’s Belt & Road: more like Broke & Screwed.$2.1 trillion for the F-35… but it's over 100 years, so relax (or don't).Space Force: “We need money.” Congress: “LOL, no.”Orbital refueling is coming. Yes, we're gassing up stuff in space now.Government budgeting is a joke. Jared votes for a shutdown just to shake things up.The J-36 fighter looks mean—but remember, China builds with Google Images and hope.F-15Es holding down the Pacific while we wait for the EXs like it’s a delayed Amazon delivery.Ukraine’s flying F-16s now—just not ours (we think).Junior enlisted got a raise… so child care might cost more?

Send us a textIn this episode of Ones Ready, Peaches sits down with Susan and Korey, two legendary instructors teaching Air Traffic Control at Combat Control School—yes, actual ATC, not the “wave your arms at planes” nonsense people assume CCTs do.Susie’s a Gulf War vet with a PhD in aviation (no big deal), and Korey is a former Ranger, CCT, and 7-knee-surgery survivor turned 24-year ATC workhorse. Together, they break down why ATC is the mental crucible of the pipeline, why simulators never quite capture the chaos of real-world ops, and how holding 3D-printed planes while yelling “LEFT BASE!” actually trains America’s most elite Combat Controllers.You’ll get behind-the-scenes stories, evolution of ATC in the pipeline, what “simulator rage” looks like, and yes—why helicopters are still the combat controller’s kryptonite.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Combat Controller ATC Is No Joke – It’s not watered down. It’s not fluff. It’s the same curriculum—and then some. 💥 Mental Muscle Over Physical Strength – You can’t ruck your way through a clearance delivery screw-up. 💥 Sim Rage Is Real – Students will break before phraseology does. 💥 Helicopters Still Suck – Their flight profiles make combat controllers cry. 💥 Real Pilots, Real Pressure – Students now get live aircraft reps post-graduation. 💥 Forget Pre-Studying – Come in humble. We'll train you right. 💥 Zero Washouts in 3.5 Years – When you want to be there, you make it work. 💥 3D-Printed Aircraft > Million-Dollar Sims – Sometimes the old ways still slap. 💥 ATC Is Written in Blood – The rules aren’t optional. They’re survival. 💥 “Average Ranger” Energy – Just keep showing up and pushing forward. That’s the win.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if you’ve ever yelled at a model airplane during training. 💬 Drop a comment with your worst sim meltdown moment. ⭐ Leave a review—especially if you finally understand why helicopters make controllers twitch. 🛒 Visit OnesReady.com to grab merch and check out our membership. 🎧 Subscribe and share with someone who thinks ATC is just tower cosplay.Support 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...
Send us a textIn this absolute banger of an episode, Peaches and Trent casually disassemble the military-industrial complex, parenting guilt, British censorship, and how not to run a drone program… all while planning t-shirt logistics and surviving haunted Airbnbs. It’s like sitting in on a leadership meeting, a roast, and an existential crisis—all at the same time.We kick things off with crop dusters—no, not the fart kind, the literal aircraft AFSOC spent $2 billion on instead of investing in drone tech that actually works at elevation. Then we spiral into public affairs drama (hi PAO 👋), complain about retired intel officers who suddenly think they know how to run special ops, and go deep on fatherhood and why we’ll never get it right (but we’re gonna keep trying anyway).There’s also a solid takedown of British “hate speech” laws, a nostalgic breakdown of the chaos of pipeline prep, and a reminder that the best way to become famous is to get arrested by the UK’s constables.You’ll laugh, you’ll get fired up, you’ll want to call your kid and apologize for being on your phone earlier.🔥 Key Takeaways:AFSOC spent $2 billion on a glorified crop duster that can’t fly far, high, or long. But hey, at least it looks like it does something.Our drone program? Worth about 1.3% of that. But sure, let’s keep crashing them into Walmart roofs.Military leadership sometimes cares more about “protecting the image” than fixing the actual problems.Honest feedback is rare because people look up to you—until they're behind your back calling your event “mid.”Being a dad is mostly wondering if you were emotionally unavailable this week or just tired.If you’re gonna shoot someone in self-defense—make sure they’re dead. Not our words, just... ask any cop.The British will arrest you for saying mean things in a group chat. Jared hopes they try.Haunted Airbnbs are still better than futons.Introverts are people too. They just talk less and feel more.Being real gets you shadowbanned. Being loud gets you cancelled. But being honest? That gets you members.🎯 Call-to-Actions: 🚨 Like, Comment, and Subscribe beforeSupport 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...

Then it just builds stories. 💥 Sharks are Real. So is Karma. – Especially when you're dangling like a glow stick. 💥 “We Forgot the PJs” – Actual quote from the cockpit.

Send us a textWelcome to your daily dose of unfiltered chaos, where Peaches breaks down the news like a sledgehammer breaks through PR-approved nonsense. This ain’t your polished AFN brief—this is the real rundown, straight from the Ones Ready bunker. Spoiler: if you love taxpayer-funded crop dusters, British police overreach, or beard policies held together by ETP duct tape—you’re in for a treat.From the Panama Canal to Star Wars-era missile defense, the DEI purge of Maya Angelou, and the ongoing saga of “Fat Tony” Bauerfein, Peaches’ on one today. We’re talking about $2B aircraft that couldn’t win a dogfight with a Pelican, the kind of “malicious compliance” that gets classics deleted from Navy libraries, and how shadow banning is the new way to say “you’re winning.”🔥 Key Takeaways:The Panama Canal still matters. Jimmy Carter still catching strays.$2B for a semi-prepped grass-strip warbird with the loiter time of a vape pen.Malicious compliance is alive and well—congrats to the contractor who Control+F’d Maya Angelou into oblivion.DEI reversals, pronoun ping-pong, and beard-based Jedi religious claims… all in a day’s work.Yes, Jared called General Bauerfein “fat” again. Yes, the PAO is still mad.14 APKWS, 4 Hellfires, 2 sensor balls... and 0 logic in AFSOC budgeting.Space Force is launching birds into space—literally. RIP bird sanctuary.If the UK arrests Jared for his spicy takes, Ones Ready becomes an international sensation. Win-win.The GWOT was fun. And no, we don’t want a sequel—but maybe a spinoff?Lockheed fumbled a 6th-gen fighter bid and Wall Street noticed. Whoops.🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👕 Head over to onesready.com and grab some merch before the British constables seize it as “hate gear” 🔔 Smash the like, subscribe, comment, and hit that bell like it's a PAO denial letter 💬 Leave a review—unless you're mad about the fat jokes (in which case, leave two) 💣 Want more unfiltered drops like this?

Send us a textWelcome to the most line-stepping, career-defying, rule-dodging episode in Ones Ready history. We’re joined by none other than Jonathan Harmon—PJ-turned-CRO, Red Wings rescue mastermind, tactical genius, and part-time aircraft hijacker (allegedly).From failing swim tests and skydiving with squirrels in Florida, to running the Combined Air Operations Center during Operation Red Wings, Harmon proves one thing: you don’t need a six-pack or clearance to change the entire course of a war—you just need audacity and a spreadsheet.We’re talking real-deal combat rescue, bootstrapping squadrons from zero gear, calling out toxic “quiet professional” culture, and the exact moment where someone looked him in the eye and said: “You’re not Adonis. Get out of my team room.”Strap in. This is not a SEAL movie. It’s the story of the actual dudes who saved lives, built the system, and then had to figure out how to buy drywall to build their own squadron walls.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 "Quiet Professional" ≠ Silent Professional – Your silence isn't noble. It's just unhelpful. 💥 Built Different (Literally) – The man built a squadron from a paint bucket and a dream. 💥 Red Wings – Harmon saw the blip, did the math, got ignored... then changed the op. 💥 Hijacked a C-17 – “Not arrested—detained.” Sure, bro. 💥 Enlisted First, Officer Second – Pro tip: know the job before you try leading it. 💥 PJ Team Room Energy – Flannel. Divorce. Granola. Tattoos. 💥 From Tactical to Strategic – A PJ saves a life. A Crow changes the game. 💥 Respect Is Earned – Even in jammies, Marcus Luttrell got nearly drawn down on. 💥 We ARE the Old Guys Now – So start talking before your story dies with you.✅ Like this episode if drywall and duct tape built your first team room. 💬 Comment if you’ve ever stepped over the line… and stayed there. ⭐ Leave a review, even if it’s just to ask why we haven’t made a movie about this yet. 🛒 Grab your merch and join the crew at OnesReady.com 🎙️ Apply for our membership before we turn it into a pyramid scheme.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! This week, Trent sits down with the beard-wielding, strength-slinging savant, Coach Jimmy of Modern Athlete Strength Systems (MASS)—because apparently we still need to explain why doing curls and skipping cardio won’t cut it in Special Warfare.Jimmy drops 20+ years of strength & conditioning wisdom (and shade) on everything from why 30-day programs are garbage, to how being “jacked and useless” is an actual epidemic. They dig into MASS’s 90-Day Unchained program, the myth of muscle without function, and how neck strength might just save your career and your spine. Oh, and Trent confesses to avoiding deadlifts for half his career—so, there’s that.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 “Neck and Traps are the New Abs” – Team Yoke is real. Stop skipping your carries. 💥 30-Day Programs Are Trash – You’re not a new person in a month. You’re just sore and confused. 💥 Relative > Absolute Strength – Cool, you bench 405. Can you move your own body weight? 💥 Pull-Ups Are King – If you can’t pull your own body up, you’re not a tactical asset—you’re cargo. 💥 Your Workout Shouldn’t Kill You – You’re training to last, not collapse in a puddle. 💥 Zone 2 Is the Hill to Die On – Boring? Yes. Effective? Also yes. 💥 Start Early, Lift Forever – Barbell doesn’t care how old you are. It only cares if you show up. 💥 Train Like Your Kids Are Watching – If you can’t play with them, what’s the point? 💥 Don’t Be That Cop Complaining About Body Armor – Train your neck and act like a professional. 💥 Buy In or Fall Off – You don’t need more time. You need structure and discipline.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if your pull-up count is higher than your squat PR. 💬 Drop a comment if you've ever maxed out curls and skipped your cardio day. ⭐ Leave a review—unless you think 30-day challenges are the pinnacle of training science. 🛒 Visit OnesReady.com for merch, memberships, and more. 🎧 Subscribe, follow, and tell a friend who still trains like it’s 2004.Support 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...
Send us a textIt’s April 4th, and Peaches is bringing you the news that makes commanders panic and E-4s roll their eyes.Today’s drop hits everything from AFRICOM possibly getting stuffed back under EUCOM (because geography isn’t real), to a $2 billion gunship that looks like it flew straight out of Planes (2013).Meanwhile, the Air Force is grounding pregnant aircrew, the Space Force is begging for a bigger allowance, and a fired general’s name is blasted across the DoD like a bad Yelp review. Add in NATO drama, orbital warfare threats, and a bunch of space startups flexing on legacy contractors—and you've got yourself a fully loaded episode of “what the hell are we doing?”🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 AFRICOM + EUCOM Merger? – 50 countries and one Chinese base next door say “probably not.” 💥 $2B Sky Raider Debuts – AFSOC’s new toy looks like Dusty with guns. Let’s hope it delivers. 💥 Intel Colonels Critiquing Combat Fitness – Ma’am, this isn’t your lane. 💥 Pregnant Pilots Grounded in First Trimester – No ejection seats for you. 💥 Space Force Says China Is Cooking Orbital Violence – Saltzman’s begging for backup. 💥 General Fired, PA Blasts It to the World – Totally necessary, right? 💥 100+ Civilians Could Be Axed at the Academy – Uniforms good, but continuity matters. 💥 NATO Needs to Pay Up – Rubio wants 5% GDP. 💥 Germany Has 47 U.S. Bases – Casual. 💥 Small Space Companies Are Eating Everyone’s Lunch – Welcome to capitalism in orbit. 💥 Nuclear-Powered AI Farms Are Coming – Because your data center’s air conditioning sucks.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if your tax dollars funded a cartoon-looking gunship. 💬 Comment if your Space Force budget could use more than 3% of anything. ⭐ Leave a review—unless you're one of the people still emailing strike targets over Signal. 🛒 Cop fresh restocks at OnesReady.com and support the crew. 🧢 Rock some BarbellApparel.com gear before the BOGO deal ends April 28.Support 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...
Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where your BS gets exposed faster than a fake pipeline story at selection. In this banger of an episode, Aaron, Trent, and recurring badass John Mollura (former NASA engineer turned keynote speaker) dissect the real reason you keep procrastinating—and spoiler alert—it’s not your schedule.Turns out, your “time management problem” is actually a fear problem. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being average in front of other people. If you’re stuck in the cycle of “I’ll start tomorrow,” congrats—you’re not lazy, you’re just lying to yourself with a rocking chair full of excuses.So pour that coffee, put down TikTok, and get ready to be called out—lovingly, of course.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Fear is the Root of Everything – Procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking? All symptoms of the same disease: fear. 💥 Stop Breaking Promises to Yourself – You show up for everyone but you. That’s why your confidence is garbage. 💥 Your Job Isn’t Your Identity – Being a “special ops guy” or “NASA nerd” isn’t who you are. It’s just what you did. 💥 Success ≠ Perfection – Skipped your 2-hour workout? Cool. 30 minutes still beats zero. 💥 Ask Better Questions – Stop asking “why do I suck?” and start asking “how do I move forward?” 💥 Self-Coaching is the Goal – No one’s coming to save you. You either do the hard work or you keep spinning in the excuse carousel. 💥 Therapy vs. Coaching – Therapy digs into the past. Coaching gives you tools to crush the future.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if it punched you in the soul (in a good way). ✅ Subscribe if you’re tired of lying to yourself. 💬 Drop a comment telling us what you’re going to stop procrastinating. ⭐ Leave a review to confuse the algorithm and help us grow. 🛒 Check out the merch at OnesReady.com and consider becoming a member—so we can keep making content that hurts (but heals).Support 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...
Send us a textIt’s April 3rd and Peaches is back with a fresh pile of Air Force, Space Force, and “what are we even doing anymore?” news.From commanders whining about drone threats and bureaucrats pushing Zero Trust Architecture™ (whatever that means), to Ukraine intel shifts, grounded pregnant pilots, and six B-2 bombers pulling up to the Red Sea like it’s a boss level—this Daily Drop has it all.Oh, and in case you missed it: the DoD is still trying to lay off people with pay, we’re throwing F-35s into the Middle East blender, and China is officially the “leaked” top threat—because apparently someone needed that in writing.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Electronic Warfare = Neglected Stepchild – 20 years of sandbox ops will do that. 💥 Ukraine Intel Sharing Pullback – But let’s be honest: we’re already there. 💥 Drone Defenses Within 24 Hours – ...but why wait 24 hours? 💥 Hiring Freeze Round 2 – “Paid to Quit” is now a policy. 💥 Zero Trust Architecture? – Sounds made up.

Send us a textOn this episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, Peaches dives into the swirling madness of global defense headlines and calls out the bureaucratic circus behind the scenes.From satellite refueling ops and simulated dogfights in space, to fentanyl diplomacy and generals crying over spectrum auctions, it’s all here. Plus, the Air Force is giving away F-15s and leaving Indo-PACOM hanging until 2026. Oh, and U.S. government officials are still using Gmail for “sensitive” talks. What year is it?Meanwhile, Canada is mad about F-35s, the Philippines just got a $5.6B fighter jet hookup, and some dudes in Congress want to go full cartel-hunting mode with airstrikes.Just another Tuesday. Buckle up.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Raisin Kane Ain’t Scared – MAGA hat or not, the man has a plan (and it’s not dumb). 💥 Gmail Is Totally Secure... Right? – U.S. officials emailing state secrets like it’s 2008. 💥 Fentanyl Is a WMD Now – Van Orden asks why we’re not droning narcos. 💥 Space Dogfights Are Coming – China is prepping for orbital combat and so are we. 💥 Satellite Refueling is a Thing – Shoutout to Northrop Grumman for being useful. 💥 F-15s Out, F-15EX In… Eventually – Kadena's empty.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where sarcasm is a love language and tough love is free. In this episode, Aaron, Trent, and Peaches go full scorched earth on the real MVPs of military recruiting… overbearing parents. You know the type—rolling into recruiter offices like it’s a job interview at Deloitte, trying to “negotiate” their precious child’s dream career in the Air Force.If you think your 18-year-old can’t speak to another adult without backup, this one’s for you. We’re talking about enabling, entitlement, and how the “helicopter generation” is raising drones that can’t function without WiFi, Starbucks orders, or their mom in the waiting room.Also covered: fighting pro MMA fighters at bars, roasting fake gangsters, and figuring out if Tupac was actually a theater kid. Yes, really.💥 Recruiters aren’t lying to you – Your ASVAB score just sucks. 💥 Your kid isn’t special – If he needs you to talk to the recruiter for him, maybe basic training isn’t the move. 💥 Parents are the Problem – The real generational curse? Moms negotiating AFSCs like it’s a mortgage. 💥 Prepare the Kid, Not the Road – Life is hard. That’s the point. 💥 Recruiting ≠ Head Hunting – You’re not getting drafted into the NFL. Chill. 💥 Stop Blaming the Military – Maybe your kid just isn’t cut out for it. 💥 British Ninja Sword Bans? – We go global with this one. Seriously. 💥 Tim Kennedy Would Destroy You – And he wouldn’t even spill his coffee.✅ Like if you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a Facebook parenting group. 💬 Comment if your mom still makes your appointments (you coward). ⭐ Leave a review so the algorithm knows we’re better than that other mil-podcast. 🛒 Grab some merch and check out our membership at OnesReady.com 📬 Send this episode to a parent who needs to hear it—but only if you’re ready for Thanksgiving to get awkward.Support 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...
Send us a textIt’s April 1st, and no—this isn’t an April Fools joke. Peaches is back behind the mic for the Ones Ready Daily Drop, breaking down your Air Force and Space Force headlines with the perfect mix of sarcasm, salt, and a little bit of “are we really doing this?”We’ve got the Space Force talking satellite refuels, the Pentagon trying (again) to make combat standards gender-neutral, and junior enlisted finally getting a raise worth talking about.Also: a new biblical Joint Chiefs nominee, the F-47 getting ghosted from the budget, and one more T-38 almost going full kamikaze over DC. Buckle up.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 E-4 Mafia Gets a Raise – 14.5% for junior enlisted. Finally, some respect. 💥 Transgender in the Military? – 300+ Academy grads say yes. Peaches… doesn’t. 💥 T-38: Death Trap of the Skies – Another day, another near-miss. 💥 F-47 Budget Axe – The AF Secretary just hit it with a “not this year, fam.” 💥 Space Force Playing the Long Game – Satellite refuels & orbital carriers are in. 💥 Gender-Neutral Combat Standards – About time. The battlefield doesn’t care what’s in your pants. 💥 Signal Chat Scandal? – The White House said “case closed.” Peaches said “we’ll see.” 💥 Pay Raises > Recruiting Gimmicks – Retention’s the fight now. 💥 Infrastructure is Falling Apart – Cybersecurity + potholes = our national brand. 💥 Biblical Joint Chiefs Energy – Raisin Kane is about to make it rain.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if you’ve ever survived a T-38 flyover with your sanity intact. 💬 Drop a comment if your base has more potholes than printer paper. ⭐ Leave us a review—even if you’re mad at Peaches for saying what you were already thinking. 🛒 Cruise over to OnesReady.com for merch, training gear, and our membership. 📣 Send this to someone who thinks the F-47 is real and not just a really expensive rumor.Support 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...
Send us a textWelcome to your March 31st Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down the military’s biggest headlines with the subtlety of a frag grenade.In today’s rundown: Japan’s military just hit four-star status, the VA is paying people to ghost their jobs until September, and the Air Force is dangerously close to reenacting Final Destination with a T-38 and a Delta jet.But the real MVP? Retired General Michael Hayden, who apparently thinks a public Signal chat is “top secret.” Bless his heart.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Japan Grows Up – Four-star command equals serious Indo-Pacific intent. 💥 VA Pulls a Quiet Quitting Flex – Paid leave ‘til September? Must be nice. 💥 Hayden Hits the Panic Button – PSA: Signal messages ≠ TS/SCI. 💥 Austin Brings His Wife to Work – Everyone’s mad. No one knows why. 💥 F-47 Coming Fast – 36–40 months sounds like fantasy football. 💥 Air Force’s Near Miss – T-38 almost plays tag with a Delta jet. 💥 Space Force Wants Smoke – Satellite dogfights are no longer sci-fi. 💥 Iran Gets a Show of Force – B-2s make great conversation starters. 💥 Hiring Freeze Blues – No one’s replacing the people who dipped.Say the word if you want a new thumbnail prompt for this version—no flaming buildings this time, scout’s honor.Support 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...
Send us a textWelcome to the Ones Ready Podcast, where we don’t sugarcoat war, trauma, or government healthcare. In this jaw-dropping episode, Marine combat vet Casey West joins Aaron to share a story so absurd it’ll make your recruiter cry. Two-time Afghan deployment? Check. Aerial gunner turned motorcycle gang enforcer? Yep. Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer after the VA spent 8 years handing him pills and calling him crazy? You bet your ass.But here’s the twist—Casey didn’t die. He flipped the middle finger to his diagnosis, ditched chemo, and walked his own path toward healing through holistic therapy, sweat lodges, and sheer unrelenting willpower. Oh, and he’s still roasting the VA every step of the way. If you’ve ever been gaslit by the system or doubted your own reality, strap in—this one's for you.💥 VA Healthcare: When in doubt, gaslight the vet until he sees Jesus. 💥 Combat Was the Easy Part: Fighting the VA? That’s where the real war begins. 💥 From Helicopter Gunner to One Percenter: Because civilian life just doesn’t hit hard enough. 💥 Terminal Cancer Diagnosis? Nah, more like a challenge accepted. 💥 Alternative Medicine for the Win: Cold plunges, fasting, and plant medicine > radiation and despair. 💥 Healing is Hardcore: Trauma isn’t weakness—it’s an origin story. 💥 The Mission Isn’t Over: Casey’s building a movement for vets failed by the system. 💥 Don’t Pity Him—Follow Him: Dude’s planning legislation and running laps around cancer.✅ Like this episode if you’ve ever wanted to scream into a VA voicemail. 💬 Drop a comment if you're tired of hearing “Thank you for your service” with no action. ⭐ Leave a review—unless you're from the VA, in which case, just take notes. 🛒 Grab merch and join our membership at OnesReady.com 👊 Support Casey’s mission.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! Today, we're giving you the full rundown of what went down at the Guardian Grid-Ones Ready-Taylor Starch Operator Training Summit in Orlando. Spoiler: It’s not for the weak. We had 41 candidates go through a weekend of brutal training, raw advice, and non-stop sarcasm. If you think you’ve got what it takes, you better listen up.Here’s the breakdown: 💥 Deliberate Training: – If you think you can just show up and crush underwaters without practice, you’re probably not even making it past warmups. 💥 Camping with the Boys: – Think you’re hot shit? Try getting roasted by your peers around a campfire while sleeping in the dirt. 💥 Mobility is Key: – Shoutout to Taylor Starch for breaking people down, making their hips scream, and then putting them back together stronger. 💥 Pool Sessions from Hell: – From gasping like a fish out of water to cutting your strokes in half, this training either makes you or breaks you. 💥 Building a Tribe: – You're either sharpening each other’s skills or getting left behind. Iron sharpens iron, right?🔥 Think you’re ready for the real deal? ✅ Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you’re ready to step up. 💀 Hate it?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! Today, we’ve got a fresh load of Pentagon nonsense, including SignalGate fallout, B-2 bombers strutting their stuff, and how the Air Force is trying to keep up with China's space game. Let’s break it down:💥 SignalGate’s Senate Meltdown: – Congress losing their minds over unclassified Signal chat leaks? Sure, because that’s the biggest problem we’ve got right now.💥 B-2 Bombers at Diego Garcia: – The Pentagon flexing hard by parking stealth bombers near Iran. Nothing says “we mean business” like multi-billion-dollar hardware doing laps in the sky. 💥 China’s Space Game Advantage: – If we don’t get our act together, China’s going to crush us in space. But hey, the Pentagon’s more concerned with throwing money at tanks and fighter jets. 💥 Military Store Tariff Crisis: – Just what we needed—higher prices at the BX and Commissary thanks to Trump’s tariffs. Because nothing says “thank you for your service” like empty shelves. 💥 Childcare Crisis at Hill AFB: – You thought the housing situation was bad? Try finding daycare with 12,000 kids on the waiting list.🔥 Think the Pentagon’s burning itself to the ground? ✅ Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think the DoD is in over its head. 💀 Hate it?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! Today, we’ve got more chaos straight from the Pentagon’s playbook of “How to Ruin Everything and Pretend It’s Fine.” Here’s the latest mess:💥 Signal Chat Leaks Continue: – A supposed OpsSec breach involving Houthi plane strikes is under review, and everyone’s playing the blame game. 💥 B-2 Bombers Flexing on Iran: – The US is parking heavy metal at Diego Garcia, basically telling Iran to take a hint. 💥 Stealth Transport Planes??: – The Air Force wants to replace ancient C-17s and C-5s with new stealth airlifters. Sounds cool, but we all know it’s going to be a bureaucratic nightmare. 💥 The DEI Purge Continues: – Military academies are axing woke nonsense and getting back to actual education. It’s about time. 💥 Space Force Still Begging for Scraps: – $10 billion for space systems sounds great, but let’s be real—Space Force is still the broke kid at the Pentagon’s table.🔥 Think the Pentagon’s lost the plot? ✅ Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think Boeing’s about to blow another $20 billion. 💀 Hate it?

From Signal chat leaks and Boeing’s sketchy $20 billion contract to the Space Force fighting for scraps, we’ve got it all.Here's the breakdown: 💥 Signal Chat Security Breach: – Because accidentally including a journalist in your secret chat about Yemen strikes is exactly how OPSEC is supposed to work, right? 💥 Boeing’s $20B Contract for the F-47: – Boeing keeps fumbling, but sure, let’s give them $20 billion to build the next-gen fighter. Because that’s definitely going to work out. 💥 Space Force Budget Begging: – $10 billion is a drop in the bucket when the Pentagon’s still throwing money at tanks and outdated systems. 💥 Red Flag Exercises & F-15EX Deployment: – The Air Force is busy training while Space Force desperately tries to stay relevant. 💥 John Chapman’s Museum Drama: – The dude literally earned his Medal of Honor by saving lives and fighting alone, and they still try to minimize his story. Stay classy, Medal of Honor Museum.🔥 Think the Pentagon’s off the rails? ✅ Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think the DoD is run by circus clowns. 💀 Hate it?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast—where we break down the latest military clown show for your entertainment. Today, we’re talking about how DEI scrubbing went off the rails, the insane amount of Pentagon budget waste, and why owning a Tesla apparently makes you a Nazi now.💥 DEI Data Dump: – The Pentagon is scrubbing the internet of DEI references like a paranoid ex deleting their socials. Did they think Ctrl-F delete was a good idea? Sure, if you’re trying to erase history.💥 Budget Cuts, Who Cares About Training Anyway? – The Pentagon’s slashing funds left and right, but sure, let’s keep wasting millions on software that doesn’t even work.💥 Tesla Nazis? – If you drive a Tesla, apparently you’re an extremist now. Forget the whole “saving the planet” thing—if you’re not driving the right electric car, you’re the enemy.💥 Standards Keep Dropping: – Because nothing says “warrior ethos” like uniforms two sizes too small and the Air Force pretending everything’s fine.💥 Recruitment Is Up—But Why? – Gen Z is apparently here to save the military, but good luck when the standards keep dropping to meet recruitment goals.🔥 Think you're ready for the real talk? ✅ Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think the Pentagon is stuck on stupid. 💀 Hate it?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! Today, we’re sifting through the Pentagon’s latest circus act, where renaming the Department of Defense back to the Department of War is apparently a hot topic. And surprise, surprise—Boeing wins another massive contract. What could possibly go wrong?Here's the breakdown: 💥 Boeing Wins F-47 Contract: – Because apparently giving billions to a company that’s been screwing up for years is a great idea. Oh, and it’s the “most critical defense decision” since sliced bread.💥 Musk’s Pentagon Drama: – Elon Musk steps into the Pentagon just to get accused of being a Chinese spy. Who’s really shocked by this?💥 DEI Purge Gone Haywire: – Turns out scrubbing the internet of DEI references isn’t so easy when you delete actual history. Nice work.💥 Turbo Weasel & Red Flag Exercises: – The Air Force is out here running drills while the Space Force tries to catch up with over 100 satellites launching in 2025. We’re just hoping the Chinese Killmesh doesn’t nuke them all first.💥 The Space Force Struggle: – Trying to keep up in the new space race while the Pentagon keeps throwing money at the same defense contractors who can’t deliver.🔥 Think the Pentagon’s lost the plot?✅ Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think the DoD is playing a losing game.💀 Hate it?

Spoiler: Most of you probably suck at them.💀 You crushed your IFT? Congrats, you’re still not ready. 💀 Your team hates you? Yeah, that’s a problem. 💀 You “communicate,” but no one understands you?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast—where we sift through the Pentagon’s latest disasters so you don’t have to. Today’s headlines? More budget cuts, Boeing somehow winning big, and DEI content getting axed like it’s a bad joke.💥 Budget Slashing Madness: Because cutting $580 million in “wasteful spending” fixes everything, right? Spoiler: No. The Pentagon is still throwing away cash like it’s Monopoly money.💥 Boeing Wins Fighter Jet Contract: The same guys who fumbled the 737 MAX, KC-46, and space missions just landed the Next-Gen Air Dominance contract. Yeah, that makes sense.💥 DEI Purge Gone Wrong: The Pentagon tried cleaning house but ended up nuking historical content. Want to erase the Holocaust or Navajo Code Talkers? Just hit Control-F and hope for the best.💥 Civilian Hiring Freeze: Good luck replacing anyone important while also slashing jobs. Everything’s fine. Totally.💥 Space Force Starving: Only 3% of the budget, and it’s getting cut even more. But hey, we’ll totally win the space race, right?🔥 You think you’re ready to serve?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast—where we take the dumpster fire that is the Pentagon’s latest news and roast it to perfection. Here’s your daily dose of WTF is happening in the military:💥 Merging Commands for Fun and Profit – Europe and Africa, NORTHCOM and SOUTHCOM... Because consolidating everything under one roof always works so well, right?💥 Cheap Missiles FTW – Air Force busting out $40k laser-guided rockets to shoot down drones instead of million-dollar missiles. That’s what we call “ballin’ on a budget.”💥 Fitness Standards Review – Trying to balance inclusivity and not dropping standards... Because let’s face it, the enemy doesn’t care about your “feelings.”💥 Traffic Nightmares – You thought waiting in line at the DMV was bad? Try getting on base during rush hour. Defenders, we love you, but open the damn second lane already.💥 The Space Force Is Broke – 3% of the defense budget for the thing we’re losing to China? Makes sense... if your goal is to get steamrolled.💥 The Continuing Resolution Trainwreck – AKA, how to cut the legs off the B-21, KC-46, and Space Force while hoping nobody notices.🔥 You think you’re ready to serve?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast—where we cut through the BS and give you the real scoop recruiters are too busy to explain. Spoiler: You probably *aren't* their top priority, and yes, they're ignoring your texts. Why? Because they're drowning in wannabes who think they’re special.  Here’s the breakdown:  💥 Parents Bringing Their Kids In at Age 30? – Yes, it happens. And no, your dad’s buddy from the Marines doesn’t know anything about the Air Force.   💥 You Want to Join Fast? – Good luck. Wait times are 4–9 months minimum. And if you want a medical job? That’s cute. Keep dreaming.  💥 Non-Citizen Enlistment Just Got Easier – But only if you get that sweet citizenship at basic. Otherwise, you're back on the limited jobs list.  💥 GED Holders & Moral Waivers – You think your GED and DUI aren’t a big deal? Think again. There's paperwork to fill out and hoops to jump through.  💥 Marijuana, Tattoos, & Medical Records – Sorry, bro. That Vegas weed sticks around longer than your last trip to Fremont Street. And yes, we’re going to find your sealed record.  🔥 So, you think you're ready? Prove it.   ✅ Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you’re ready to stop whining and start training. 💀 Hate it?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast—where we cut through the BS and break down the real stories that actually matter, instead of whatever nonsense the Pentagon is pushing today.Here’s what’s on deck:💥 Pentagon Budget Games – The DoD is basically speed-running a government shutdown, and somehow, everyone’s shocked that running ops without a budget is a nightmare. 💥 50,000+ Civilian Jobs Slashed – Trimming the fat or setting the military up for complete logistical failure? Probably both. 💥 Houthi Strikes Keep Coming – Because nothing says “peace” like another round of missile launches in the Middle East. 💥 Recruiting is Up? – Either Gen Z is built different, or the DoD finally figured out how to market a job that pays you in trauma and terrible PowerPoints. 💥 DEI Content Scrubbed – The military’s Ctrl+F-delete approach to diversity just nuked everything from DEI mandates to Navajo Code Talkers pages. Someone definitely didn’t read past the first line.Meanwhile, Congress is big mad about shutting down useless bases, while the Air Force is somehow surprised that overclassifying everything is making it harder to function.💥 Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think the Pentagon is a disaster. 💀 Hate it?

Today Aaron and Trent cover ISIS leaders getting schwacked, ridiculous military spending priorities, and why renaming Fort Bragg (then renaming it back) is peak government dysfunction.💥 Another ISIS leader bites the dust—but is cutting off the head of the snake really solving anything? 💥 Trump allegedly ordered a drone strike mid-golf round—alpha move or just another Tuesday? 💥 Why the U.S. keeps funding and arming the same groups we eventually end up fighting. 💥 Fort Bragg gets its name back—because nothing says ‘readiness’ like spending millions on signage. 💥 AI-controlled Hellfire missiles now slice enemies up mid-air—who’s the unhinged genius behind this?Meanwhile, our military budget is magically endless when it comes to renaming bases, but somehow we’re still flying ancient airframes and cutting training hours.💥 Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think our priorities are completely backwards. 💀 Hate it?

Will he fix it or just make it worse? 💥 Retired generals are screaming about drone swarms. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is still acting like it’s 2003. 💥 South Korea alliance still strong, despite the internet losing its mind over a skipped meeting. 💥 F-35s flex in joint exercises—because showcasing readiness is all we can afford right now.Meanwhile, Space Force is trying to outmaneuver Russia & China, Congress is slapping band-aids on budget crises, and another Marine dies in a tragic accident at McDill.

Dave Deptula joins the team room to drop some truth bombs about the state of the Air Force, Space Force, and whether or not we’re actually prepared for the next war. Spoiler alert: It’s not looking great.Peace Through Strength Starts With Rebuilding the US Air Force: https://www.airandspaceforces.com/peace-through-strength-rebuilding-us-air-force/💥 The Air Force is the oldest, smallest, and least ready it’s ever been—meanwhile, China is stacking the deck. 💥 Only 3% of the DoD budget goes to the Space Force—so yeah, China is winning the space race. 💥 Budget cuts are gutting our military, but we somehow still have money for bureaucratic nonsense. 💥 AI-controlled fighter drones sound cool, but how is a single pilot supposed to manage them in combat? 💥 Jared Isaacman leading NASA?

This is the kind of conversation that separates the weak from the warriors.

Is it confusion? Or is it just another way to keep us all on our toes? They take a comedic detour to the Facebook Airman/NCO page, the unofficial hub for venting frustrations and throwing shade—because where else would we air our grievances?From there, things get spicy as the guys tackle the big picture of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in the military and how it plays out, especially for female candidates in the Special Warfare pipeline.

But, as always, Peaches and Trent keep it real, breaking down the "controlled chaos" of training and why knowing what goes on behind the scenes is key. The duo also throws in some classic Ones Ready gold: CDCs (do we even need them anymore?), the eternal struggle with boonie hats and unit patches, and, of course, why every new recruit apparently needs a driver's license.

But this time, the enemy isn't terrorists—it's bad gym etiquette! He’s on a mission, and the stakes are high. Armed with a towel in one hand and a cleaning spray in the other, Trent lays down the rules like it’s life or death. Rule number one? Cleanliness is next to godliness—you gotta wipe down that equipment after your workout, or you’re going down. Rule two? Put your gear away, people. You wouldn’t leave explosives lying around, would you? Same goes for dumbbells. Respect personal space—no unsolicited advice or invading someone’s zone. And if someone’s setting up their camera for that perfect PR shot, don’t go Bruce Willis and photobomb it!But here’s the twist—this isn’t just about surviving the gym. Trent reminds us these rules are just as crucial in the pipeline, where teamwork and respect make or break the mission. In the end, it’s not just about lifting weights, it’s about lifting each other up. And if you follow these simple guidelines, you’ll come out on top—just like our hero, Trent McClane.So, the next time you hit the gym or step into the pipeline, ask yourself: **What would John McClane do?** Stay clean, stay cool, and don’t forget to **respect the mission**.

Send us a textHey Ones Ready members! Aaron kicks things off by sharing his latest adventure and reminding us all why staying hydrated is key—especially when you're bouncing between training and real life. From there, he dives into his military training days, sprinkled with some laughs about the struggles of being a bad sleeper (we've all been there, right?). The chat then takes a turn across the pond to the UK, where things are heating up with immigration and freedom of speech debates. The crew gets real about the protests, the government's response, and how these issues could affect our brothers and sisters stationed in the UK. They also touch on the challenges of assimilation and the tricky balance European countries face with open borders.Then, there's a deep dive into the status of forces agreement—a bit of a maze for anyone living in England as an American airman. The crew dishes out some solid advice: steer clear of social media rants and avoid stirring the pot, because those UK laws are no joke. They wrap it up with a look at the different takes on free speech between the US and the UK—eye-opening stuff!And if you thought that was it, the team finished strong with a no-holds-barred discussion on stolen valor, calling out Timmy Walz from the Minnesota Air National Guard. They don’t hold back on their frustration with the veteran community's toxic behaviors, stressing that integrity and honoring true veterans’ sacrifices are what really matter.It's another episode packed with laughs, insights, and a whole lot of truth bombs—just the way we like it!Chapters00:00 Introduction and Discussion of Recent Trip08:57 The UK's Immigration and Freedom of Speech Issues15:38 Challenges of Assimilation and Open Borders19:09 Legal Concerns for US Military Personnel in Foreign Countries24:05 Navigating Cultural Differences in England28:39 The Challenges of the Status of Forces Agreement46:16 The Problem with Stolen Valor and Integrity57:31 The Impact on the Veteran Community01:01:45 Using Military Service for Political Gain01:08:11 Distracting from the Real IssuesSupport 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...

Send us a textThis one gets spicy immediately! JMac has been on the podcast a couple times before and the Ones Ready Team couldn't wait to get the most BRO that ever went CRO to sit down again! The conversation was filled with fascinating topics that will inspire you to become a better leader. It covered the unofficial nature of the podcast, which adds an element of authenticity and free-flowing conversation. The importance of podcasts in bringing military conversations to the public cannot be overstated, as it helps to bridge the gap between military personnel and the public.The conversation also highlighted the need for problem-solving and emotional intelligence in leadership, which are critical skills that every leader should possess. The issue of personnel problems in the military was also discussed, emphasizing the importance of leaders and managers in creating a positive work environment.Furthermore, the conversation delved into the focus on social issues rather than important matters, the stratification of the force, and its impact on competition. The importance of humility and competence in individuals was also stressed, and the need to cut through the madness and lead with common sense was emphasized.Overall, the conversation was insightful, inspiring, and motivating. It will make you think about your own leadership skills and encourage you to strive for excellence in all that you do.Chapters00:00 The Unofficial Official Podcast, Aaron steals the intro13:52 Focusing on Important Matters, Not Social Issues30:35 Emotional Intelligence and Tough Decision-Making39:00 Managing Expectations and Taking Charge of Your Destiny46:11 Avoiding the Need for Approval53:23 Dealing with Haters and Staying True to YourselfJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9aFBBZoBcQk8UUN_pO7nDA/joinSupport 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...
Send us a textWe checked out the archives and realized that Peaches and Aaron dropped a banger and forgot to release it. Peaches did, Aaron was passable (shout out Aaron Love Hate Club). What are deployments really like? It is 99% really boring minutae spiced up with moments of combat and sheer terror. The process leading up to the deployment is a horse of a different color. Deployment lines, training cycles, and all the rest of what it's like to deploy not only in the Air Force Special Warfare Career fields but for all the jobs you can do in th USAF!!!We hope you guys like this one!

Send us a textThe Team isn't super pumped with the news. From the Air Force Times:"The Air Force has loosened its restrictions on body fat for new recruits, one of the latest moves to grow the pool of potential applicants amid the military’s recruiting crisis.In the past, men and women’s bodies needed to be 20% or 28% fat, respectively, to be eligible for service. Air Force Recruiting Service spokesperson Leslie Brown said Monday that benchmark is now 26% for men and 36% for women."So why did the Air Force make the decision?! And most importantly, how does the team feel about it?
