Send a text Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and moves fast through a heavy slate. The Army looks to lease installation land for commercial AI data centers, trains leaders on drones and robots at Fort Benning, and deals with a soldier receiving life for murder. There’s speculation swirling around restricted airspace in El Paso, a $5.2M “Bumblebee” drone-bashing system, and Hawaii storm shutdowns. The Navy pushes unmanned swarms and AI-enabled fleet concepts while recognizing top surfa...
Send a text This episode breaks down one of the most misunderstood attributes in Air Force Special Warfare: drive. Aaron explains why drive and grit aren’t about hype, yelling, or being the best on day one—they’re about self-initiation, perseverance, and long-term commitment when the outcome is uncertain. Using real selection examples, RAND research, and hard lessons from the pipeline, this episode shows how instructors actually evaluate drive: effort when exhausted, bouncing back from failur...
Send a text Peaches runs a fast Daily Drop Ops Brief with no fluff and no patience for nonsense. This episode hits Army quality-of-life updates at Fort Hood, joint U.S.–Italian training for the German Badge, and why the Navy is openly talking about shifting toward smaller, more agile platforms instead of relying solely on massive carriers. From missile defense recognition aboard USS Arleigh Burke to expanded Headspace access for sailors and families, Peaches walks through what matters and why...
Send us a text Peaches and Trent break down the growing fallout around Gen. “Fat Tony” Bauerfeind, his short tenures at AFSOC and the Air Force Academy, and why leadership failures don’t happen in a vacuum. From berating cadets in locker rooms to misreading SOCOM priorities and alienating donors, staff, and subordinates, this episode walks through how ego, insulation, and ignoring the chain of command can wreck organizations fast. The conversation expands into general officer culture, why the...
Send us a text Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief covering multiple days of military news after a short recording gap. The episode opens with a posthumous Medal of Honor awarded to Staff Sgt. Michael Alice for shielding a Polish soldier during a 2013 Taliban attack—followed by a blunt reminder of why people actually serve. From a 10th Mountain Division deployment to CENTCOM, Golden Knights season prep, and the rising age of Army recruits, the brief moves into jungle medicine training in...
Send us a text This episode is the closest thing you’ll get to a no-BS preparation checklist for Air Force Special Warfare—delivered straight by Peaches and Trent. They lay out the top 10 things every candidate should be doing before shipping: fitness, water confidence, rucking, mindset, nutrition, recovery, ego control, recruiters, and avoiding the dumb mistakes that shut doors forever. No hype. No shortcuts. Just volume, discipline, and doing the boring things consistently. They also hit bo...
Send us a text This episode breaks one of the biggest myths in Air Force Special Warfare selection: teamwork is not about getting along. Aaron lays out exactly what instructors are looking for in an attributes-based selection model—and why teamwork is evaluated even in an individually graded pipeline. From hydration and gear prep to buddy breathing, leadership, authenticity, and putting team gear before personal comfort, this is a no-fluff blueprint for being the teammate units actually want....
Send us a text Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and cuts through a wide slate of military news with zero patience for nonsense. From the Army’s recruiting age creeping up and a 10th Mountain deployment to the Middle East, to a soldier sentenced for murder at Fort Novosel, this episode stays grounded in accountability and reality. Peaches breaks down why the Army paused the soldier-built VECTOR data tool, what Navy pilots flying Air Force F-35As actually learn from it, and why a former...
Send us a text Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and moves fast through recruiting wins, force readiness, and why some headlines deserve side-eye.

Peaches also dives into Air Force leadership travel, the YFQ-48 Alpha designation, Coast Guard infrastructu...
Send us a text This episode closes out the Attributes Series with the one that ties everything together: problem solving. Aaron and Peaches break down what instructors are actually evaluating when they give you impossible tasks, incomplete information, and artificial stress. You’re not expected to find perfect answers—you’re expected to make a decision, communicate it, accept risk, and move. From paralysis by analysis to five-breath resets, triage thinking, and real-world examples from combat...
Send us a text The Ones Ready crew just lit a fire under every sacred cow—politics, violence, the gym, and yes, even Justin Herbert’s love life. Peaches, Aaron, and Trent rip through the absurdity of modern America: college kids turned radicals, media gaslighting, doomsday cycles, and why half the gym should just put some damn clothes on. We jump from Charlie Kirk’s death fallout to Ricky Hatton’s boxing legacy, NFL drama, and which Air Force career fields are secretly soy. It’s raw, hilariou...
Send us a text Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and covers a packed slate of military news with zero patience for bad takes. From the Army redesignating a unit to lead jungle warfare training in Panama, 101st Airborne air assaults with Marine Ospreys, and a stolen shaped charge at Fort Leonard Wood, to ISR business jets, the USS John F. Kennedy beginning sea trials, and Marines pulling defective all-weather coats, this episode is about scale, readiness, and common sense. Peaches also ...
Send us a text This episode closes out the Attributes Series with one of the most mission-critical traits in Air Force Special Warfare: stress tolerance. Aaron breaks down what stress tolerance actually means—not being emotionless, but staying inside the performance window when stakes are high. From eustress vs distress to stress inoculation, breath control, visualization, and recovery, this is a practical blueprint for how instructors evaluate candidates under pressure. Mass casualties, budd...

From the Army opening an enlisted space operations career track to Air Force debates over AI in the cockpit, munitions production modernization, and realistic BMT training ranges, this episode is all about overlap, scale, and tradeoffs. Peaches breaks down why duplicated capabilities exist across services, where AI helps pilots—and where it scares t...
Send us a text Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and cuts through another stack of headlines the internet is already misreading. From Army AI platforms and Navy F-35A cross-service testing to Marines flying to Norway on a Patriots jet, Space Force acquisition moves, Coast Guard jet skis, and growing counter-drone authorities, this episode is all about context over outrage. Peaches also explains why some Air Force details stay quiet, why AI in cockpits makes people uneasy, how fraud kee...
Send us a text This episode tackles one of the most decisive attributes in Air Force Special Warfare selection: trainability. Aaron, Trent, and Peaches break down why prior experience, certifications, and ego mean nothing if you can’t take feedback and apply it immediately. Trainability isn’t about showing up perfect—it’s about learning fast, adapting under pressure, and improving visibly rep to rep.

Send us a text Peaches and Trent break down what’s actually changing in Air Force Basic Military Training 3.0—and why most of the outrage is missing the point. From mock airfields, F-16s, and C-130s to Pacer Forge becoming a true crucible, this episode explains why BMT isn’t about technical mastery—it’s about mindset, teamwork, and connecting Airmen to the mission early. They tackle scale, cost, culture, and why “we never did this before” is the weakest argument in the comments. Less classroo...
Send us a text Peaches goes off on the revolving door circus at the top of the Air Force. Chiefs stepping down early, generals bailing on nominations, and the DEI debates that make everyone wonder who’s actually running the show. From “just following orders” excuses that sound a little too familiar, to Fat Tony still haunting the Academy, to civilians gaming the system and budgets blown on pointless moves—this is the insider rant you didn’t know you needed.
