Strap 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. Except maybe a few.
- Hurricane Katrina rescues = 240+ hoists. Real ops vs  Instagram ops.
- Want to be a PJ? Don’t chase the unicorn. Show up, shut up, perform.
- If your parents are talking to your recruiter... you’re not ready.

This one isn’t a podcast. It’s a goddamn war story. UFC Hall-of-Famer and America’s toughest mustache, Don Frye, joins Aaron and Atlas for a conversation that spans decades, back surgeries, ghost trucks, Vietnam comms tents, and mob-backed wrestling matches in Japan.

What starts as a laugh-packed swapcast quickly veers into territory most men won’t talk about: childhood trauma, fear, failure, the shame of weakness—and the rage that fuels resilience.

🦬 Don walks through fire (literally), punches his way through pain, and teaches us how to be the bison when life turns into a blizzard.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Integrity isn’t a tagline—it’s the only thing that matters on your tombstone
• Your pain is fuel. Your weakness is the enemy. Your mission: never back down
• Don watched one loss on VHS for four years straight—just to get better
• Ghost trucks are real. Also, so is dying. Twice. Don’s not impressed
• Ric Flair suits are expensive. Don broke ribs instead
• Life is a snowstorm. Walk into it. Be the bison
• Punch fear in the throat. Then drink whiskey and mentor a PJ

Welcome 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. This one’s loaded with bad decisions, hot takes, and a gentle reminder that if you can’t save someone from drowning, maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t be rocking that uniform.

👉 Like, subscribe, comment your spicy takes, leave a review if you're feeling brave, and join the membership to support the savage honesty. Check out the merch store so you can rock your own anti-bonbon movement gear.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Operator Training Summit in June: 12 hours of pool work because your "doggy paddle" isn't going to cut it at SWAS.
• DIU Expansion: Kentucky, Minnesota, and Montana now have a reason to brag besides cows and hockey.
• Transgender Care Drama: It’s complicated...and taxpayer-funded.
• Signal App Hysteria: Everyone's using Signal. Calm down, nerds.
• Makeup Gate: Breaking news: men shine on camera. Film at 11.
• South Korea's Super Squadron: 31 new jets incoming; insert "Top Gun but in Seoul" montage here.
• Affordable Combat Drones: Because who doesn’t want more budget drones buzzing around?
• Obesity in the Force: Two-thirds of the Guard and Reserve are thicker than a Snickers — and that's not a compliment.
• Agile Combat Employment: Great idea. Terrible follow-through. Typical.
• Space Race (Spoiler: We’re Losing): China’s eating our lunch while we buy more tanks we don’t need.
• DUI PSA: If you can afford a $12 beer, you can afford a $20 Uber, dummy.

This 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. Become a member. Buy the merch. Book the summit. And for the love of all things loud—don’t sleep in the doll room.

Jared is speedrunning this Daily Drop like it’s the last brief before weekend libo. But don’t worry—this episode still slaps. From Air Force leadership dodging infrastructure bills, to a shaving waiver flowchart that sounds like a side quest from Fallout, it’s everything you didn’t know you needed to rage-laugh through.

In this episode:
 ☢️ Nuclear microreactors are coming to Alaska (yes, seriously)
 📦 The B-21 is flexing, and China should be nervous
 ✈️ A C-17 just got refueled by a commercial tanker, which apparently took 30 levels of approval and a priest
 📉 Space Force: secretly launching stuff into orbit while governors and contractors scream into the void
 📶 And yes—Pete Hegseth is still Signal-chatting like your conspiracy uncle

You wanted updates? You got nuclear reactors, missing airmen, and possibly the most bureaucratic beard policy ever written.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Nuclear microreactors are real and they’re coming to an AFB near you
• Air Mobility Command did the unthinkable: used a civilian tanker
• There’s a 20-step beard waiver process… for real
• Space Force + NRO = black budget bros stay winning
• Hegseth leaks = OPSEC nightmare meets encrypted boomer energy
• Protesters at Holloman accomplished... absolutely nothing
• China’s mineral chokehold proves we learned nothing from COVID
• SpaceX is launching everything but your Wi-Fi password at this point

⏱️ Timestamps:

• 0:00:00 – Intro, quick rundown warning, PAO update & OTS reminder
• 0:01:10 – Defense Acquisition Review & the F-47 greenlight
• 0:02:00 – New cyber rules aim to fix the broken contractor ATO slog
• 0:03:10 – AMC milestone: commercial refueling of a C-17
• 0:04:40 – Nuclear microreactors at Alaska bases = energy gamechanger
• 0:05:40 – B-21 flexes at Edwards, aimed squarely at China’s perception
• 0:07:00 – Missing airman accused of desertion and child abuse materials
• 0:08:30 – China restricts rare earths = Pentagon readiness nightmare
• 0:09:40 – Signal leak fears: compromised comms & OPSEC anxiety
• 0:11:00 – Small Sat Alliance warns Space Force not to over-outsource

Today’s Daily Drop is brought to you by: chaos. Jared’s on one, the Public Affairs Office is finally back in the saddle, and we’re neck-deep in Pentagon leaks, Guard drama, Space Force growing pains, and morale breakdowns at the Air Force Academy.

In this episode:
 🚨 Former advisors under leak investigation while the Defense Secretary is out here Signal-chatting like it’s group text with grandma
 🤖 AI drones are delivering your MREs in the Indo-Pacific
 📉 The Academy is falling apart while still claiming it’s world-class
 💻 Air Force computers = Windows 98 with a badge
 🛰️ The Space Force is building war doctrine while governors are throwing shade
 🌌 And China’s anti-satellite weapons might end this whole party early

We also cover the B-21 flex, Lockheed finally playing nice, and why outsourcing IT might be the most patriotic thing we do all year.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• The Air Force’s IT is still powered by dial-up and sadness
• ACE = "everyone does everything now, good luck"
• Space Force: making doctrine, taking names, dodging governors
• Signal Chat leaks: OPSEC is optional if you’re high enough up
• AI drones are cool, until they deliver your Chick-fil-A to the wrong theater
• The Air Force Academy might be turning into DeVry with jets
• B-21 costs $477M to say “maybe faster later”
• China’s out here prepping to blind satellites. Cool.

⏱️ Timestamps:

• 0:00:00 – Intro, Operator Training Summit promo, PAO news finally returns
• 0:02:20 – Leaks on leaks: Advisors under fire, Signal Chat scandal grows
• 0:04:50 – AI drones in the Pacific & Border ops heat up
• 0:06:30 – ACE implementation = “Congrats, you now have 3 jobs”
• 0:08:20 – Air Force Academy morale collapse & academic downgrade rumors
• 0:09:00 – Space Force wars: Governors revolt + new warfighting doctrine
• 0:12:20 – China’s anti-satellite tech & the renewed space race panic

Public Affairs ghosted us, so Jared took matters into his own hands and scraped the internet like a clearance-free, caffeine-fueled analyst. What did he find? Chaos. Leaks. SEAC rumors. Trump-era leftovers. A Space Force doctrine that might spark Star Wars 2.0. And yes… someone might’ve nuked the SEAC job. Or maybe not. Nobody knows.

Also:
 📱 Hegseth allegedly dropped Yemen strike intel in a Signal chat (because OPSEC is optional now?)
 ✈️ 9,000 troops doing drills on China’s doorstep
 🇺🇸 Judges thinking they outrank DoD
 🛰️ Space Force says “we fight in orbit now”
 🚨 And SpaceX might build the next version of NORAD’s fever dream

It’s a mixed bag of military madness with a side of unsolicited hot takes. You’re welcome.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Jared’s running solo recon when PAO ghosts the battlefield
• Hegseth’s Signal chat might’ve gone full E4 mafia
• U.S. drills in the Philippines = “Yo Beijing, hold my beer”
• Space Force is in its offensive era now (cue pew-pew noises)
• Trump’s Golden Dome = Star Wars meets lobbyist fever dream
• Judges tryna run ops? Beat it.
• SEAC might be dead. Or just ghosted. TBD.

⏱️ Timestamps:

00:00 – Intro, PAO ghosted the battlefield so Jared goes rogue
01:20 – Operator Training Summit: La Jolla slots still open
02:20 – Hegseth’s Signal chat leak & Pentagon trust issues
03:30 – 9,000 U.S. troops in the Philippines = message sent
04:40 – Insurrection Act confusion & the martial law gray zone
05:45 – USAF unveils mystery aircraft… or PR stunt?
06:30 – Judges vs Generals: Deportation flights & jurisdictional comedy
08:00 – Space Force doctrine gets aggressive—literally
09:30 – Golden Dome, Elon Musk, and favoritism allegations

Welcome back to your favorite corner of chaos—the Ones Ready podcast. Today we’re giving you the inside scoop on the next Operator Training Summit in La Jolla, California (that’s right, where influencers pretend to jog and Navy SEALs learn to leave Combat Controller's on the OBJ). If you’ve ever wanted mentorship, expert instruction, and a slight brush with aquatic panic, this is your episode.

We're breaking down everything you need to know: deep-ass pools, buddy breathing without drowning your buddy, and how Drownproofing in the same pool as Deep End Fitness is more of a spiritual journey than a drill. Oh, and don’t worry—this is NOT a smoke session. It’s deliberate. It’s intentional. And you’ll leave with more than just sore calves and PTSD from mask and snorkel drills.

Also featuring:
 🔥 Swag-bearing special warfare recruiters
 🔥 Tactical s'mores around a SoCal campsite
 🔥 12-hour pool days that don’t suck
 🔥 Mentors who aren’t trying to haze you (weird, right?)

You’re not ready—but we’ll fix that.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• If you're 15+ with a waiver and can fog up a mask, you can join.
• Drownproofing isn’t hard... until it is.
• This isn’t Hell Week. It’s more like Enlightenment Weekend (but with fins).
• Meet former schoolhouse staff who will actually teach you things.
• Limited slots. Unlimited sarcasm.
• Recruiters may bring snacks. We’re not promising Chick-fil-A, but hey.
• If you're not there, you're probably doing push-ups wrong somewhere else.

⏱️ Timestamps:

• 00:00 – Intro to the OTS (a.k.a. Tactical Summer Camp)
• 00:30 – Dates, Location, and Pool Deep Enough to Question Life
• 01:20 – What You’ll Learn: Buddy Breathing, Treading, Mask Work
• 01:50 – Drownproofing in the Pit of Despair
• 02:40 – Who’s Instructing (Spoiler: Actual PJs)
• 03:15 – How to Register (Spoiler: DM Jared Before It’s Full)
• 04:00 – Gear, Swag, Food, and Optional Misery
• 04:50 – Final Thoughts: Show Up, Learn Stuff, Don’t Be Soft

Buckle 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.

Erasing history or just correcting course? When military institutions start scrubbing images, canceling events, and rewriting narratives, we have to ask—what’s the real intent? Is it about progress, or are we selectively deleting what doesn’t fit the current agenda?

Welcome 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 fuse
• Xbox Kinect motion sensors used to kill helicopters
• PJ and EOD instructors emotionally scarring students (who definitely still remember)
• Sunlight on Peaches’ nose ruining the episode’s aesthetic

If 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.

Welcome to another unfiltered Ones Ready daily drop, where we scan the Pentagon's inbox so you don't have to. 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). Whether it's China’s hypersonic flexing, Germany’s Starlink breakup, or another case of “Oops, we deleted history” with the Thunderbirds’ first female pilot, it’s all here. Oh, and did we mention a rocket plant exploded? That happened too.

This one’s for the curious, the cynical, and everyone wondering what the hell is going on at the Air Force Academy.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• China could “take Taiwan in 14 days” — but only if maps stop existing.
• Hypersonic missiles aren’t just fast, they’re terrifyingly accurate.
• Micro nuclear reactors: finally, the DoD’s clean energy pivot that doesn’t involve windmills.
• 90% of Space Command said “hard pass” to Alabama—ouch.
• DEI purges = historical memory loss. Just ask the first female Thunderbird.
• Air Force Academy: Less “education,” more warrior ethos (and faculty cuts).
• F-35s playing quarterback with artillery like it’s Call of Duty.
• Grumman’s rocket facility went boom—casually buried in the briefs.
• DoD school lawsuits, ACLU, censorship drama… all happening while the childcare centers can’t hire.

⏱️ Timestamps:

• 00:00 – Intro & Operator Training Summit plug
• 02:20 – Chinese Hypersonic Threat & Taiwan
• 04:00 – Pentagon Leaks & Polygraph Theater
• 05:00 – Nuclear Microreactors: The Future is Glowing
• 07:00 – Space Command: Colorado vs Alabama Cage Match
• 08:30 – B-1 Bombers Hit Japan (and Everyone’s Ears)
• 09:00 – Air Force Academy: New Mission, Same Budget Cuts
• 10:30 – Childcare Center Meltdown
• 12:00 – E-7 Wedgetail: Hurry Up and Wait
• 13:30 – DEI Purge Deletes Thunderbird Legend
• 14:30 – Space Force: New Toys, New Strategies
• 16:20 – F-35 = QB1
• 17:00 – Northrop Grumman Goes Boom

In today’s cerebral Daily Ops Brief, Peaches breaks down the Defense Department’s latest dumpster fire: whether to park Space Command’s shiny new paradigm shift in Colorado or Alabama. Also, some genius of the Military Industrial Complex just texted the entire Internet our plans for Houthi rebels. 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.

In 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 budget
• Justify skipping base grocery runs
• Navigate forced cultural purges via AI
• Or survive Space Force acronyms without rage-quitting the internet
   ...this one's for you.

Also, you’ll never look at sushi the same again. And that’s a promise.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• The commissary might not be a bargain—unless brain fog is your thing
• DEI removal via "Find & Replace" was totally not weaponized
• Brad Pitt’s haircut is still somehow not the worst DoD decision
• AGR-20 rockets = tiny, beautiful laser death
• Retired Guard generals are now leapfrogging active-duty four-stars—let the salt flow

This 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. It’s about being better—relentlessly.

😬 CEOs losing money because Becky from social media is just giving refunds instead of flipping the damn lemonade.

🗣️ Call-to-Actions:

Leave us a review—we’ll read it, roast it, and maybe tattoo it on AG’s arm.

Peaches’ 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! Smash that like button like it’s a CV-22 gearbox test. Subscribe to keep up with Jared’s daily truth bombs. Drop a comment—what’s the dumbest DoD cut you’ve heard about?

Welcome 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:

 💬 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.

Is free speech dead? Is the Air Force covering up reality? And what the hell is actually happening in Ukraine, the Pentagon, and beyond? In this hard-hitting Ops Brief, Peaches lays down raw, unfiltered truth on military leadership failures, global chaos, and why censorship is creeping into every corner of our lives.

🔥 Why deleting "diversity content" isn’t about fairness—it’s about control.
🔥 Did Trump just son Zelensky on camera? And what does it mean for U.S. aid?
🔥 TacP & ANS—Is the Air Force finally going to make a real selection process?
🔥 Recruiting numbers suddenly “fixed”? What changed overnight?
🔥 How bad is the U.K. right now? Spoiler: Think 1984, but real.

If you’re tired of the lies, the spin, and the BS, this is the episode for you.

Budget cuts disguised as “strategy.” Civilian workforce hollowed out while nobody’s watching. 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? That’s back now too. Neat.
• The Pentagon still doesn’t get memes, but adversaries sure do.
• DoD finally noticed cybersecurity matters... in 2025.

In 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. Still doing it for the tribe.

Today’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.

This 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 idiocy
• Useful idiots from both sides
• America’s unique actually earned greatness
• NASA, innovation, and how memory foam > Marx
• China’s paper tiger meltdown
• And how our younger generation might just be the salvation we didn’t deserve

It'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? Start by holding the people you vote for accountable, regardless of party.

In 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? Make it make sense.

In 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.

In this absolute rollercoaster of an episode, CRO #8 Jonathan Harmon returns to finish what he started. The man has survived boat ramps, raging seas, rogue helicopters, and his own dumb decisions—so you know he’s qualified to roast himself and everyone else in the process.

We go deep on:

Nearly dying multiple times (on purpose),
Hazing that would make HR explode,
Buddy-breathing with the Devil,
And how to fail upward into leadership.
Oh—and if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you haze your students too hard, don't worry: karma's real and it faceplants hard.

💥 Hazing Builds Brotherhood – Until it doesn’t. 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. Crew coordination: 0/10.
 💥 You’re Gonna Be That Guy – The one with the pen flare. Accept it.
 💥 Indoc Doesn't Leave You – 1,258 8-counts later, you still remember.
 💥 Leadership is Earned, Not Bestowed – Bonus points if you’re bleeding on a boat deck you designed.
 💥 You Can’t Outrun the Ocean – But you can out-swim your student… barely.
 💥 Faith Over Fear – When the motto becomes a burden, your soul better be armored.
 💥 If You’re Still Smug About Being Jacked – You probably suffer from ILS (Invisible Lat Syndrome).
 💥 Don’t Join for Clout – Join because “that others may live” actually means something to you.

✅ Like, subscribe, and comment if you’ve ever been left behind in open ocean (or just felt like it).

Welcome 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)

Welcome 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.

It’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.

Welcome 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.

It’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. Probably is.
💥 CENTCOM B-2 Flex – When in doubt, bomb it out.
💥 Pregnant Pilots Grounded – First trimester flyers, take a seat.
💥 AI Dogfighting F-16s at Eglin – Skynet: confirmed.
💥 KC-46 > KC-135 – Topeka's about to get a glow-up.
💥 Space Force Loves the Little Guys – Stoke & Rocket Lab get the call-up.
💥 AFWERX Tracks Sketchy Spacecraft – Satellites be sneakin’.
💥 China = Top Threat (Leaked Memo, Shocker) – In other news: water is wet.
💥 Budget Games Are Killing Readiness – Peaches says shut it down and start over.

📢 Call-to-Actions:

✅ Like this episode if you're tired of hearing "continuing resolution" like it’s a normal thing.
 💬 Comment if you've ever worked a job where “Paid to Resign” wasn’t even an option.

On 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. Whoops.
💥 Joint Simulation Needs SOF – Peaches goes off on outdated training systems.
💥 Canada Mad About Tariffs AND Jets – Welcome to the club.
💥 Tyndall Rebuild = 165 MPH Buildings – Why not just move? Bureaucracy.
💥 Philippines Gets a $5.6B Firepower Upgrade – Finally, a Pacific partner pulling weight.

It’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.

 ⭐ Leave us a review—even if you’re mad at Peaches for saying what you were already thinking.

Welcome 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.

Welcome 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.

Welcome to the Ones Ready Podcast—where professionalism is DEAD. If you’re here for balanced discourse and hand-holding, GTFO. This episode is a masterclass in pettiness, Pentagon chaos, and why your internet hot takes are garbage.

🔥 AFSOC loses its worst leaders & we celebrate with fireworks.
🔥 Internet trolls came for us… but forgot we have receipts.
🔥 “Integrity” at BMT? Lol, just eat your contraband protein bars, nerds.
🔥 How a bunch of washed-up veterans (us) still get more done than half of DoD.

This one is RAW, unfiltered, and fueled by internet tears. Don’t like it? Drop a comment so we can roast you in the next episode.

Welcome 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?

Welcome 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.

Welcome 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.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! Today, we’re breaking down the Pentagon’s most recent insanity. 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.

Welcome 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.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we talk about what actually matters instead of whatever the Air Force’s latest PowerPoint says is important.

Today, we’re breaking down the 8 attributes that determine whether you make it or wash out. 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? That’s on you.
 💀 Stress turns you into a disaster? Say goodbye to your slot.
 💀 “I’m trainable!”—Cool, so why are you ignoring feedback?

What you’ll learn today:

🔥 Why your “grit” is about more than surviving a pool session.
 🔥 How to actually prove you have integrity instead of just saying it.
 🔥 Why teamwork isn’t just about you—and why that’s a problem for you.
🔥 How failing isn’t the issue—quitting is.
🔥 Why we don’t care how many pull-ups you can do if you’re an uncoachable idiot.

Meanwhile, instructors are out here professionally judging your every move. Think you’re smooth? Think again.

Welcome 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?

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we don’t just talk about military preparation, we live it. This time, Peaches jumps into a live Discord fireside chat with the AFSPECWAR crew to drop some hard truths, answer real-time questions, and maybe struggle with Discord tech like a true boomer.

🔥 How to actually train for selection—because four hours a week isn’t cutting it.
 🔥 Underwater confidence tips that won’t make you look like a drowning rat.
 🔥 Why pipeline failures sting less than quitting (but still suck).
 🔥 Toxic leadership in the military—does it ever go away?
 🔥 How the Air Force is handling (or fumbling) Special Warfare’s future.

From the best advice for new warfighters to who’s currying the goats (seriously, what’s the deal with that?), this episode covers it all. If you’ve ever wanted direct insight from the Ones Ready crew, this is it.

Welcome 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.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the real stories that actually matter instead of the nonsense the Pentagon wants you to focus on. 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.

Welcome 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.

Welcome 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.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the real military news without the fluff. Today’s Daily Drop covers everything from U.S. strikes in Yemen to our military’s total unpreparedness for drone warfare and why renaming bases seems to be a bigger priority than actual warfighting.

💥 U.S. hits Houthi targets in Yemen—because apparently, they didn’t learn the first time.
 💥 A billionaire is now running the DoD’s finances. 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. But hey, at least we’re keeping up appearances, right?

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we cut through the BS and talk about what actually matters. Today, retired Lt. Gen. 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? A game changer for the future of space dominance.

Lt Gen Deptula doesn’t hold back, and neither should you. If you care about air superiority, military readiness, and America actually staying on top, you need to listen to this one.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the military circus so you don’t have to. Today’s Daily Drop is packed with budget cuts, military incompetence, and China playing chess while we argue over checkers.

💥 The Pentagon still can’t balance a budget—meanwhile, China is buying up global ports like they’re playing Monopoly.
 💥 The Space Force is tracking gym workouts instead of actually figuring out how to counter real threats.
 💥 Fighter drones are coming, but will pilots even be able to manage them in combat?
 💥 Defense leaders suddenly remember the Panama Canal exists—should we be worried?
 💥 The Air Force is begging for funding before its entire fleet starts falling apart mid-flight.

Meanwhile, politicians and generals are still bickering over standards, fitness, and whether or not our military is ‘lethal’ enough. Spoiler alert: If we keep up this clown show, the answer is going to be no.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we bring you the hard truths, no fluff, and zero participation trophies. This time, we’re diving into the Operator Training Summit with special guest Kris Tomes from Guardian Grit, who’s been training future operators for 15+ years and knows exactly what it takes to make it through.

💀 Buddy breathing: If you’re panicking, you’re losing.
 💀 Underwaters: Why your garbage technique is costing you.
 💀 Mobility with Taylor Starch: Fix your trash hips or stay broken.
 💀 How mentorship, mindset, and the right training can keep you from becoming a pipeline statistic.

Kris breaks down what separates the candidates who succeed from the ones who quit, how most people train the wrong way, and what you need to do before you ever step foot in selection.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we don’t sugarcoat military dysfunction. Today’s Daily Drop covers the latest budget failures, softening standards, and why China is laughing at us.

💥 The Pentagon still can’t figure out funding—because training and readiness are apparently optional.
 💥 Lower fitness standards? Because a ‘lethal force’ should probably be in shape.
 💥 China running live-fire drills near Australia—casual flex or testing the waters?
 💥 Space Force wants ‘exotic orbits’ to dodge Chinese surveillance—sounds cool, but will it work?
 💥 The Air Force still fighting to stay relevant—Next Gen fighters? Air tankers? Who needs those?

Congress can’t pass a budget, leadership is making excuses, and meanwhile, our adversaries are getting stronger. But hey, at least we still have E9s failing PT tests.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the latest military chaos so you don’t have to. Today’s Daily Drop is packed with bad decisions, government bureaucracy, and a sprinkle of common sense (which the Pentagon still lacks).

💥 The U.S. is back to funding Ukraine—because stopping intel for a week totally didn’t screw them over.
💥 The Pentagon is trying to fix software acquisition—because nothing says efficiency like government contracts.
💥 DARPA is tweaking blood cells—can we just give warfighters HGH and call it a day?
💥 The Air Force might finally care about Arctic ops—but is it too late?
💥 F-35 partners are ‘standing firm’—translation: they spent too much to back out now.

Oh, and the Space Force is figuring out how to use commercial satellites because, surprise, we are way behind on the whole space superiority thing.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we take warfighter prep seriously, but not ourselves. Peaches is flying solo today, fresh off the Operator Training Summit, where 41 candidates got wrecked (in a good way) over two days of pool punishment, mobility reality checks, and more special operations wisdom than you can handle.

💀 Buddy breathing without panic? Some of you need work.
💀 Eggbeater kick? Turns out, hips are important. Who knew?
💀 Wall push-offs? Do them right and save your lungs.
💀 Mobility work with Taylor Starch? Prepare to suffer.
💀 Campsite bonding, gear tips, and pro-level mentorship? Absolutely.

We’re breaking down everything that went down in the pool, the dirt, and the pain cave—plus, the next locations we’re eyeing for the June event.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—your favorite place for no-fluff, no-BS military news delivered with a side of sarcasm and rage. Today’s daily drop is packed with budget cuts, military blunders, and the usual government circus.

🚨 Trump shrugs at Russia, China, and Iran’s ‘big scary’ war games. Should we care? (Spoiler: No.)
 🚨 New Joint Chiefs Chair? Raisin’ hell and skipping straight past the four-stars. Stay salty, generals.
 🚨 Pentagon axes 90+ climate studies and saves $30M. Who knew warfighters didn’t need tree-hugging reports?
 🚨 Cyber threats are skyrocketing, and North Korea fires missiles just to remind everyone they exist.
 🚨 Ukraine’s F-16 program is on life support thanks to paused aid—because politics.

👉 Is the Insurrection Act coming back?
 👉 Pentagon budget cuts are gutting operations—what does that mean?
 👉 F-16s intercepted civilian pilots—what happened?
 👉 South Korea accidentally bombed civilians during a U.S. joint exercise—how did that happen?
 👉 The U.S. is pulling intelligence support from Ukraine—what are the consequences?

Oh, and if you were hoping for military acquisitions to become more efficient, I have some bad news for you.
