Ep 523: Entitled, Soft, and Not Ready: Aaron Nukes the Zulu Course Crybabies
#523
Yesterday at 9:00 PM

Send us a text

Aaron’s done playing nice. In this scorched-earth solo rant, the Ones Ready silverback goes full throttle on cones, meme-lords, and anyone dumb enough to trash the new Zulu Course before it even starts. 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. He’s got words fo...


Ep 522: “Nobody Quits at Dinner—They Quit at the Bottom of the Pool” | A Parent's Perspective
#522
Last Friday at 7:00 AM

Send us a text

Forget the motivational fluff—this one’s raw. Peaches sits down with Rob, a Navy vet and father of a Special Warfare candidate, to talk about what really happens when your kid volunteers for hell. From bottom-of-the-pool breakdowns to recruiter nonsense, this convo hits every nerve: pride, fear, frustration, and a dad’s brutal honesty about letting go. Rob doesn’t sugarcoat it—he talks about raising a son who fails, adapts, and keeps fighting. It’s not about the uniform—it’s about grit, humility, and realizing your kid’s journey isn’t yours to control...


Ops Brief 110: Daily Drop - 30 Oct 2025 - The Air Force Is Falling Apart
Last Thursday at 11:00 PM

Send us a text

Yeah, this one’s not sunshine and push-ups. 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...


Ep 521: Sleep Like a Sniper: FBI Dr. Leah Kaylor Wrecks Your Melatonin & Booze Habits
#521
10/27/2025

Send us a text

Everybody brags about “grinding” on four hours of sleep—until their brain turns into mashed potatoes. Peaches sits down with Dr. Leah Kaylor, the FBI’s resident sleep assassin, to expose every lie you’ve ever believed about “sleep aids.” From Benadryl brain fog and melatonin overdoses to why your “one beer to chill” actually nukes your REM cycle, this one’s a brutal wake-up call. Leah demolishes the “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” crowd and drops science that’ll make your caffeine addiction blush. If you’re a high performer running on fumes, this episode’s...


Ep 520: The Broken Medal System: Why the Wrong People Keep Getting Recognized
#520
10/24/2025

Send us a text

Peaches and Active Duty CCT, MSgt Dan torch the myth of “fair” awards in the military. This one’s not a feel-good story—it’s a reality check. From Manda Bay to the Pentagon, the boys call out the clown show where some people collect medals for surviving the wifi going out while others who actually fought for their lives get nothing. Dan drops receipts straight from the battlefield, naming the hypocrisy, inflated hero worship, and bureaucratic nonsense that’s poisoning the ranks. Peaches brings the heat, asking what integrity really means when ribbons matt...


Ep 519: Air Force Streamlines Special Warfare Training Building Stronger Operators, Faster
#519
10/23/2025

Send us a text

No rumors. No drama. Just facts and perspective.

In this solo episode, Aaron breaks down the Air Force Special Warfare Training Wing’s Pipeline Optimization Initiative — what it really means, why it matters, and how it could finally fix years of inefficiency in the operator pipeline. This isn’t about lowering standards — it’s about eliminating wasted time, tightening the process, and producing better operators, faster.

Aaron translates the military-speak, explains the Zulu course, dives into the “SNIT” problem (students not in training), and highlights how these changes can actually stren...


Ops Brief 109: Daily Drop - 23 Oct 2025 - Generals Lost Faith? Cool—Go Retire, Grandpa!
10/23/2025

Send us a text

Aaron’s rolling solo and firing on all cylinders. In this episode, he torches the latest “breaking” story claiming generals have “lost faith” in Secretary Pete Hegseth—calling out the lazy headlines, the performative outrage, and the same gray-haired generals who tanked Afghanistan and somehow still have opinions.

Then he unloads on the FBI’s “major win”: arresting NBA players and coaches for gambling. Because apparently, catching jump-shot hustlers is a bigger priority than finding America’s missing kids. Toss in a federal shutdown that’s choking military families and you’ve got classic Ones Read...


***Sneak Peek***MBRS 66: Tim Kennedy’s Valor Lie, Lobster War Prophecies, & the Domino’s Nuke Indicator – WTF Are We Even Doing?
10/23/2025

Send us a text

The Ones Ready crew returns to burn down the house with a brutally honest breakdown of integrity, influence, and idiocy in the military influencer world. 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 warn...


Ops Brief 108: Daily Drop - 22 Oct 2025 - Fat Generals, Jared Isaacman for NASA, and SpaceX
10/22/2025

Send us a text

The Ones Ready Team Room just went DEFCON spicy. Peaches drops a verbal frag on soft leadership, lazy generals, and the bureaucratic clown show holding America back. From gutless flag officers whining about accountability to NASA possibly being shoved under the Department of Transportation (seriously?), he’s got zero patience for the circus. Peaches calls out the hypocrisy, salutes the few still grinding, and delivers his unfiltered take on how to fix the mess—starting with honesty, toughness, and a little competition. Oh, and yeah—Jared Isaacman for NASA Chief? Bet your ass. Strap...


***Fixed***Ep 517: So You Want to Play with Bombs? Air Force EOD Isn’t the Hurt Locker
#517
10/21/2025

Send us a text

Everyone loves to say they want a “badass” job—until they realize Air Force EOD actually plays with live explosives. Peaches sits down with three bomb techs who spill the truth about blowing stuff up for a living. From top-secret clearances to the sadistic “Grooster” workout, these dudes talk smoke sessions, failure, and why being called “Eagle” isn’t a compliment. No Hollywood hero shots here—just sweat, stress, and zero room for mistakes. If you think you’re built different, listen up. This episode will check your ego harder than an instructor at NAV School.


Ep 518: We F’d Up the A-10? Jarred Taylor & CMSgt Spreter Talk The Future of TACP
#518
10/20/2025

Send us a text

Buckle up — Peaches sits down with Black Rifle Coffee’s Jared Taylor and AFSW’s Chief Jimbo Spreeder to torch the nonsense strangling the Air Force from the inside out. From the death-by-a-thousand-cuts of the A-10, to the badge redesign drama, to the Tech P force reduction nobody understood, this episode pulls zero punches.

Peaches calls out leadership confusion (“Wait, you didn’t know what TacPs do?!”), while JT and Jimbo laugh their way through the bureaucratic chaos that makes warriors less lethal. Expect hard truths, gallows humor, and the kind of brutally...


***Sneak Peek***MBRS 65: Baby Back B*tches & Blues Mondays
10/18/2025

Send us a text

Jared’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...

Ep 516: The System’s a Joke — Gladdin Family vs. Wyoming “Justice”
#516
10/14/2025

Send us a text

Peaches and the Ones Ready crew bring the Gladdins back into the team room for a brutal, emotional update on their fight for Justice for Julie — and it’s worse than you think. A repeat offender with 30+ charges kills Kate’s mom, and the state calls it a misdemeanor. Yeah. A misdemeanor.

This episode rips open every layer of America’s broken “justice” system — lazy prosecutors, soft laws, and zero accountability. Nate and Kate Gladdin refuse to stay quiet, turning grief into a full-on campaign for change. Peaches doesn’t hold back either: if...


Ep 515: Air Force EOD Event Canceled Over Optics: Leadership Failure or Risk Aversion?
10/13/2025

Send us a text

Peaches is flying solo and absolutely torching weak leadership in this unfiltered rant from the Ones Ready team room. The story? 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 Wi...


***Sneak Peek***MBRS 64: You're Not Gonna Make It (and Here's Why You Suck)
10/12/2025

Send us a text

Trent flies solo and absolutely lights the mic on fire in this unfiltered reality check for every would-be warfighter wondering if they’re cut out for the pipeline. Spoiler alert: you’re probably not. From “weak genetics” and mommy issues to delusional love stories about the girl back home, Trent serves up a hot plate of hard truths with his signature sarcasm, hotel water, and allergic sneezing fits. If you’ve ever asked, “Do I have what it takes?”—this is the slap in the face you needed.

He hits everything:

Ep 514: Project Linear - What Tactical Athletes Wear
10/10/2025

Send us a text

Most people see an injury at BUD/S as the end of the road. For Chris from Project Linear, it was just the beginning. After making it through Hell Week and Phase 2, a brutal injury cut his journey short only seven weeks before graduation—but instead of letting that define him, he turned the experience into fuel.

Today, Chris leads Project Linear, a tactical gear company built on the same standard of excellence he carried into the Navy pipeline. No gimmicks. No influencers. Just authentic gear trusted by the operators who ac...


Ep 514: Project Linear - What Tactical Athletes Wear

10/10/2025

When most people quit BUD/S, they fade into obscurity. Chris from Project Linear? He weaponized failure. After making it through Hell Week and Phase 2, he walked away seven weeks shy of graduation—and turned that standard of excellence into a tactical gear company that’s outpacing big brands without a single influencer contract. Peaches and the Ones Ready crew drag him into the team room to talk obsession, authenticity, and why real pros don’t chase followers—they chase standards. From bouncing drunks in San Diego to outfitting SEALs and SWAT operators, Chris pr...


Ops Brief 107: Daily Drop - 8 Oct 2025 - Fat Troops, Shutdowns & Cyber Failures
10/09/2025

Send us a text

Peaches is back in the Ones Ready Team Room with another no-BS drop that’ll make the Pentagon sweat. From the government shutdown that’s starving paychecks to the beefy boys rolling off bread trucks in Chicago, this episode rips through every headline the brass wishes you’d ignore. Peaches calls out the “financially illiterate” lifestyle of troops living beyond their means, laughs at the Army Corps’ endless postponements, and lights up DoD’s hilariously outdated cybersecurity systems.


 Then it’s on to the Marines flexing “maritime domain awareness” for an attaboy, the Air F...

10/08/2025

Send us a text

If you thought retirement would mellow them out, you clearly haven’t met Peaches, Trent, or Aaron.

In this week’s blisteringly honest episode, all three come in hot. We’re talking about the mental minefield of getting out, the physical wreckage of a Special Warfare career, and the professional purgatory of trying to give a damn after years of institutional gaslighting. Peaches is post-retirement and post-patience. Trent’s back from the void. Aaron is basically caffeine, rage, and a mic.

Together, they break down:

10/06/2025

Send us a text

The Ones Ready Team Room is back and Peaches isn’t pulling punches. From the DoD’s latest Inspector General “reforms” (translation: no more hiding behind fake complaints) to the U.S. getting embarrassed in the Arctic—this one’s got everything: cartel strikes, gender-standard meltdowns, government shutdown chaos, and a little unsolicited love for Aussie warfighters.

Peaches dives headfirst into the week’s wildest military moves, from Trump’s National Guard orders to the Pentagon’s plan to polygraph everyone short of the janitor. He also breaks down why the Coast Guard has th...

10/06/2025

Send us a text

Another week, another Green Beret schooling us on life. Dean Goble didn’t just crush 20 years in Army Special Forces—he turned retirement into running the Special Forces Foundation and steering Black Rifle Coffee’s philanthropy like a caffeinated warlord. From dropping “coffee speedballs” into disaster zones to roasting the nonsense of bad nonprofits, Dean breaks down service, optimism, and why coachability beats raw strength. Oh, and yes, the guys start a “Don’t Be Fat” movement. Equal parts hilarious, inspiring, and brutally honest—this one’s pure Ones Ready chaos.

Ep 512: Air Force Special Warfare Pipeline: Training, Selection, and How Not to Fail
10/03/2025

Send us a text

Aaron takes the mic solo and unloads on pipeline myths, training excuses, and bad packet habits. Forget the rumor mill—he explains why the Air Force keeps tweaking Special Warfare selection, why “pipeline optimization” isn’t a conspiracy, and why faster runners are always the ones who graduate. He drags combat controllers over pistol skills, laughs about swim cap questions, and gives the blunt truth: stop wasting time and train specifically for what actually matters. It’s snarky, savage, and brutally useful—classic Aaron, unfiltered.

Send us a text

The Ones Ready crew dives headfirst into the chaos of a government shutdown. Peaches breaks down why jets are still flying even though half the civilians got furloughed, why dropping bombs is suddenly off-limits, and how “minimal manning” really means “maximum chaos.” From Air Force talent marketplace changes to the Space Force scrambling for capability gaps, Marines swapping out recruiting commanders, the Coast Guard dropping multi-tons of blow in Florida, and the Secretary of Defense tightening the screws on military culture—this daily drop pulls no punches. Oh, and POTUS showed up at Quantico t...

Tired of the same old “my chief ruined my life” Facebook rants? Trent torches the victim mentality and lay down some hard truths. This episode isn’t about coddling—it’s about owning your mistakes, setting the example, and refusing to be the guy who drags everyone down with negativity. From pipeline lessons to real-world leadership fails, we break down why optimism, discipline, and practicing what you preach aren’t just buzzwords—they’re survival skills. If you’re ready to stop blaming others and actually level up, this one’s for you.

Peaches goes off on the biggest shakeup in the military since forever: the Secretary of Defense (now Secretary of War) dropping a savage speech that could’ve been an email—but wasn’t. From “FAFO” threats to beard bans, fat generals, and nuking woke policies, nothing was off limits. Trump chimed in with his usual fire, telling generals to leave the room if they didn’t like it. Peaches rips through the chaos with hot takes, sarcasm, and zero filter. If you thought the military was soft—buckle up, because culture change just showed up with...


Ep 512A: Does the Military Need a Culture Change? (Spoiler: Hell Yes)
09/30/2025

Send us a text

Aaron unloads on the state of the Air Force, the military, and America’s warrior ethos with zero filter. Forget sanitized speeches—this is a raw breakdown of why GWOT veterans accepted the chaos, why today’s force feels distracted, and why the next generation better wake up before it’s too late. He rips into leadership theater (PT tests for generals, anyone?), clown-world bureaucracy (pay offices closed for frisbee), and the creeping comfort culture that turned Kandahar into a Pizza Hut outpost. Aaron lays out what a real culture shift looks like—back to le...

Peaches, Aaron, and Trent come in hot: Halloween costumes get dark, Oompa-Loompas invade, and naked 70s playing cards almost derail a four-star visit. Then it gets serious—General Mark Welsh flames out at Texas A&M over gender ideology drama, Special Warfare kills all 2025 ship dates, and the Air Force admits it’s broke while Congress hasn’t passed a budget since 1997. PCS moves? Just a spreadsheet scam. Candidates failing pipeline tests? Seventy-two down last class. This is peak Ones Ready: chaos, comedy, and calling out the BS nobody else will touch.

The Ones Ready crew doesn’t do boring briefs—and this one is pure chaos. Peaches breaks down the military circus: Army stockpiles waiting for the big fight, the Navy flexing nukes, Marines storming beaches like it’s 1944, and the Air Force still pretending AI is cheap. Space Force wants a 15-year plan before the end of the year (good luck), the Coast Guard’s busting smugglers off Point Loma, and oh yeah—the Secretary of Defense just recalled 800 generals to Quantico. Rumor says they’re about to sweat through PT tests while half of them...

Buckle up—this one’s going to piss some people off. Peaches, Trent, and Aaron sit down with Arvis Owens, a Naval Academy grad and former officer who had his career torched by a broken system. From botched carrier landings to fighting false accusations, Arvis lays out how the Uniform Code of Military Justice turned into a political circus where accusations = convictions and careers burn for headlines. The crew rips into toxic training, third-party harassment nonsense, and the absurd reality that you can be innocent and still lose everything. This isn’t a pity p...

Aaron, Trent, and Peaches tackle the rising tide of valor inflation, where every LinkedIn bio says “warfighter,” but no one can pass a PT test. This episode is a spicy roast of our participation trophy military culture, bloated titles, and the thirst for validation that’s killing authenticity.

We dig into why the guy who’s “changing the game” on Instagram hasn’t deployed, why you shouldn’t need a 9-slide PowerPoint to explain your leadership style, and how the real ones are too busy doing the work to make motivationa...

Welcome back to the team room, where Peaches, Aaron, and Trent torch fake professionalism, internet tough guys, and the circus that is LinkedIn. This episode takes a dark turn into the assassination of Charlie Kirk—why it matters, how it changes the political landscape, and what comes next when the “moderate” is taken out. The crew doesn’t hold back on cancel culture, the broken rules of engagement online, and why political violence isn’t a dial—it’s a switch. If you thought free speech was safe, buckle up. This one’s raw, unfiltered...

Ones 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...

Peaches kicks in the door with another Daily Drop, tearing through the Pentagon’s SHIELD program (yes, they actually named it that), a $39M rocket motor bailout, and why Army inventory reports sound like Mad Libs. He drags the idea of draft “policies” floating around the Guard Bureau, laughs at new bunker buster contracts, and side-eyes social media witch hunts after troops cheered Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Oh, and in case you forgot—it’s fiscal year chaos, which means budgets, BS, and Peaches reminding you that the Air Force stockpile ain’t what you think...

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...

This 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...

Peaches is back in the team room, and this “daily” drop is anything but short. From the Air Force reactivating old commands to Space Force rolling out new uniforms, this episode dives into the chaos of DoD rebrands, reorganizations, and questionable decisions. Why are we shooting at UFOs with Reapers? Why is Congress playing budget chicken with defense spending? And do service members still have free speech when Big Brother’s watching their socials?

On top of that, Peaches drops updates on the Nashville Operator Training Summit, rants about suicide prevention critic...

Peaches and Aaron are back swinging at the nonsense. From Special Warfare’s assessment model to Air Force Academy cadets racking up predatory loans, this episode rips into leadership fails, lazy commanders who hand out paperwork like candy, and the lost art of spot corrections. We go from stories of LOCs, LORs, and mustache games with Rangers, to watching Army football drop a quarter million dollars just to get smoked by Tarleton State. Oh, and Peaches gets dragged through camp in just a towel because Rangers can’t handle beards. Add in college foot...
