Aaron and Peaches sit down with Amanda Doerr, an Air Force Military Training Instructor, to talk about what Basic Military Training looks like now and what future Airmen need to know before they ship.

Amanda walks through her own path into the Air Force, how her MTIs inspired her to become one, what BMT looks like today, how training has changed, why Pacer Forge matters, and why the Air Force is putting more emphasis on small team movements, critical thinking, mission readiness, and operational exposure.

Peaches sits down with Marc Humbert and Cameron Garber from KORR Medical Technologies to talk VO2 max, metabolic testing, heart rate zones, fueling, recovery, and how warfighters can train smarter instead of just getting crushed.

This episode breaks down what VO2 max actually measures, why oxygen consumption matters, how carbon dioxide output helps determine fat and carbohydrate burn, and why heart rate zones are only useful when they are actually individualized. Marc and Cameron explain how metabolic testing can help athletes, warfighters, pilots, and tactical professionals understand workload, caloric burn, fatigue...

Dr. Dave Walton from TF Voodoo joins Aaron and Peaches to break down how to actually train for rucking without wrecking your body.

Dave is a retired Green Beret, doctor, rucking coach, and the brain behind TF Voodoo. In this episode, he explains why most people train for rucking wrong, why “just ruck more” is one of the fastest ways to get injured, and how to build real load carriage performance through Zone 2 cardio, strength training, progressive ruck programming, foot care, boot selection, sock selection, posture, breathing, pacing, and misery management.

Aaron jumps on solo for a serious episode about the reported Air Force Special Warfare Zulu course ruck event, why it matters, and what candidates need to understand right now.

This episode focuses on reports of a heavy evaluated ruck in the Zulu course, including a 10-mile ruck with roughly 100+ pounds, a 15-minute pace standard, full uniform and equipment requirements, Texas heat and humidity, medical concerns, heat casualties, and the larger question of whether the event is operationally valid, properly risk-managed, and appropriately messaged to candidates before they arrive.

This solo episode with Trent gets real fast. No hype. No fake motivation. Just an honest conversation about why people walk away from Air Force Special Warfare—and why some still choose the hard path anyway.

Trent breaks down something most instructors don’t talk about enough: at some point during training, candidates realize the logical choice is probably to quit. The conventional military path offers stability, comfort, family time, better work-life balance, and way less risk. Meanwhile, special operations asks you to willingly move closer to danger… over and over again...

No crew. No guardrails. Just Aaron on a members-only mic doing what he does best—thinking out loud and lighting fires. This episode is an end-of-year wrap that turns into a manifesto: why fitness is a moral obligation, why “peaceful” without capability is a lie, and how attribute-based selection actually works when the slogans stop. Aaron breaks down why OTS waited, why it’s scaling fast, and why 2026 is about to get wild—including international moves. Then he unloads on the Venezuela boat story, media hysteria, political hypocrisy, and why precedent matters more than pearl...

Aaron, Trent, and Peaches are back in the team room, and this one starts with Tasty Gains, UFC at the White House, soccer, Nitro Circus, sketchy bungee jumping, and somehow ends exactly where it needed to: Air Force Special Warfare pipeline standards.

The crew gets into a reported Zulu course ruck event involving a 12-mile ruck at a 15-minute pace with a ruck weighing well over the standard 45 pounds. That turns into a bigger conversation about assessment and selection, training standards, instructional drift, normalized deviance, and why “war is hard” is not...

Jody is a retired Command Master Chief who spent most of his career in the reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations community as a Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman, or SARC. In this episode, Trent and Jody dig into what leadership actually means, why being a good person does not automatically make someone a good leader, and why so many organizations promote people without ever teaching them how to lead.

Peaches goes scorched-earth on the latest Air Force drama: illegal home inspections, dog-sitter snitches, dumpster-level leadership decisions, and the glorious return of morale shirts. He calls out stupidity, hypocrisy, and anyone pretending the military isn’t a three-ring circus wrapped in OCPs. If you’re thin-skinned or currently writing a memo about sideburn length… this one’s going to hurt. Strap in, nerds — Peaches is saying what everyone else only screams into the group chat.

The boys talk TRT comments, shadow bans, election weirdness, fake moral high ground, people arguing about standards online, D-Day and the weather call that helped make Operation Overlord happen, why “just doing your job” is a terrible argument against medals, HKIA, new Master Sergeants, good and bad leadership, AI being used poorly, and why some people should not be allowed near a government purchase request.

Trent goes solo for a brutally honest talk about Air Force Basic Military Training changes, Special Warfare expectations, and the dangerous mindset that causes people to quit before they’ve even truly started. 

After spending more time around BMT and the Special Warfare training environment, Trent breaks down recent changes to Special Warfare flights, why trainees are stressing over losing dedicated pool time, and why most people are focusing on the wrong problem entirely.

This episode digs deep into identity, pressure, expectations, and the mental trap of searching for “off r...

Peaches and Trent tag-team this one like two tired uncles sick of hearing fantasy-land nonsense from the comments section. From dudes bragging they’re “already good at PT” to the cosplay warriors demanding “tactics and shooting,” the boys dismantle every delusion with surgical pettiness. Peaches lays out what actual training looks like, Trent dives into the pipeline realities that crush egos, and together they roast the myth of the lone-wolf tough guy who “did it all himself.” This one’s equal parts truth, smoke, and therapy—come get corrected.

They get into why physical standards still matter, why people are suddenly pretending government officials need to be elite athletes, how human performance is finally becoming a serious military priority, and why some “tactical” training videos on the i...

This episode dives deep into the future of drones, AI, ISR, runway intelligence, battlefield data fusion, and why the next war won’t be won by a single platform—it’ll be won by whoever processes information the fastest.

They talk about friends killed in combat, training accidents, suicide, and the long list of names that never really leaves your mind—but also why most of those guys would...
