Send us a text Peaches goes full America-First-energy breaking down the 2025 National Security Strategy — AKA 33 pages of political chest-thumping turned into a spicy Ones Ready rant. Forget the bureaucratic fluff: border security, nukes, China, DEI dumpster-fires, NATO freeloading — Peaches calls it exactly how every warfighter wishes they could say it in briefings. If you think you’re informed because you skim headlines on social… think again. Grab a snack and prepare to get smarter (and ma...
Send us a text Peaches and Trent roll into another beautifully unprepared episode packed with humor, straight talk, and real military insight. From the Okinawa body-slam everyone argues about to actually useful Air Force leadership lessons, fan-mail adventures, pipeline expectations, and what young candidates should really learn before joining Special Warfare, the guys keep it light, honest, and genuinely helpful. If you want a mix of Air Force culture, Special Warfare mindset, leadership tru...
Send us a text Strap in, kids. This episode is the equivalent of a Tasty Gains creatine gummy to the dome—sweet, punchy, and packed with fire. The crew goes full send on everything from the absurd pipeline reorg memos to SEER spouses who think a YouTube comment is a call to arms. Peaches drops savage truths about military hierarchy, pipeline chaos, and why instructors are the ones always eating the crap sandwich. Also: war stories, karaoke bangers, and a weather guy who thinks he's a JTAC. If...
Send us a text Retired Chief PJ Yo-Yo Keaton shows up and immediately proves why half the community worships him and the other half is still trying to keep up. Peaches and Trent drag him through a career of combat rescues, dumb mistakes that almost killed him, leadership hot takes, and the kind of honesty that would vaporize a modern CBT. Yo-Yo breaks down why standards matter, why mediocrity is a disease, and why today’s Airmen desperately need a reality check. He also casually admits to run...
Send us a text Peaches and Trent drag the Air Force’s favorite fantasy into the daylight: the idea that “nothing ever happens in Africa.” Major Mike Voto shows up and calmly dismantles a decade of complacency, bureaucratic daydreaming, and leadership cosplay that left defenders untrained, undermanned, and standing on a Kenyan airfield praying the cavalry might arrive sometime today-ish. He drops truth bombs about zero-prep deployments, wet-behind-the-ears defenders thrown into real combat, a...
Send us a text Aaron unloads on the Air Force Special Warfare leadership with the fury of a thousand ignored NCOs. If you're wondering why morale is in the toilet and retention’s circling the drain, look no further than the clown show running the pipeline overhaul. Instructors? Ignored. Functional managers? Ghosted. Messaging? Nonexistent. This isn’t just poor leadership—it’s sabotage disguised as progress. If you’re in charge and this episode hits a nerve… maybe that’s the point. Fix it—or g...
Send us a text Trent’s back on the mic and absolutely done with anonymous complainers, lazy leadership, and generals who think PT is optional. From the “Creech gate crisis” to government shutdown panic, he’s torching every excuse in sight. If you’ve ever thought “they should just open another gate,” buckle up—Trent’s got news for you. He dives into why the Air Force burns people to the ground, how our “greatest resource” lip service is complete nonsense, and why generals need to stop hiding b...
Send us a text Peaches drops a fresh Daily Drop packed with real military updates, Special Warfare insight, and a full tour through what’s happening across the DoD. From Army sensor tests in Europe to Marine fast-rope drills in the Caribbean, this episode hits every corner of the force. Peaches breaks down why attributes matter in Special Warfare selection, how every exercise ties directly to the job, and why candidates must show raw potential—not just speed on a run. He also dives into tank ...
Send us a text Peaches, Aaron, and Trent descend straight into the stupidity of the Zulu Course’s brand-new, completely unnecessary creed. Peaches calls out the clown show of inventing a “course creed” no one asked for, roasting the mystery officers who clearly typed it up between PowerPoint slides. The crew breaks down why merging career fields is delusional, why branding matters, and why whining about getting smoked at Zulu basically means you should quit now. If you think the Air Force nee...
Send us a text In this no-filter banger, the Ones Ready crew dives headfirst into the absurdity of military influencer culture, retirement nonsense, and why negotiating like a sociopath at a used car lot might just be your new superpower. Aaron reflects on the absolute circus of retiring without a shadow box or a flu shot, while Trent reveals his past life as a car salesman and his refusal to speak until the dealer caves. ⏱️ Timestamps: 01:30 – Government jobs: Just try as hard as required 0...
Send us a text Aaron sits down with Ryan “Max Afterburner” Bodenheimer—Strike Eagle pilot, Thunderbird #2, and one of the most grounded high-performers to ever touch a flight line. They dive into mentorship, resilience, building real confidence, finding purpose after the military, and why today’s warriors need challenge—not comfort. Max opens up about beating burnout, rediscovering joy in the job, and how the fighter-pilot mindset can lift anyone chasing excellence. If you're looking for clar...
Send us a text Peaches and Trent sit down with Kody Dickerson — the guy who took every hit life could throw: failed run, COVID cruise, family crisis, BUD/S heartbreak, the whole stack. And instead of folding, he rebuilt himself into a SWAT enforcer, gang-unit problem-solver, and CrossFit machine. Kody breaks down the moments that rocked him, the honesty that saved him, and the mindset that pulled him out of a 250-pound fog and back into the fight. If you’re still telling yourself “now’s not t...
Send us a text Buckle up, Ones Ready fam—Aaron and Trent dive headfirst into the clown show of Democratic lawmakers (all ex-military or intel vets) dropping a cringy, scripted video urging service members to ditch "illegal orders." Spoiler: They're gaslighting the ranks with zero specifics, just vibes. Trump fires back calling it sedition punishable by death (he got the penalty wrong, but the charge? Spot on). We break down the real deal—sedition's 20 years, treason's the death penalty stuff ...
Send us a text Peaches and Trent dive straight into the chaos—no disclaimers, no corporate tone, just two dudes calling out the absurdity of modern military leadership. From COVID reinstatement madness to commanders who rubber-stamp illegal orders and still get promoted, Peaches unloads on the Air Force’s “do as we say, not as we do” culture. Trent breaks down why officers obsess over year-groups like it’s astrology, why reinstated members get screwed, and how the Pentagon avoids accountabili...
Send us a text Alright, slackers—Peaches drops your daily dose of military reality on November 20th, no sugarcoating, just the gritty facts. He breaks down special warfare selection like it's a bad date: show up with the raw goods or get ghosted. Plugs the Operator Training Summit because apparently you need Taylor Starch to teach you not to wreck your knees while pretending to train. Then it's Apache love—10th Mountain's new toys for terrain domination, Poland live-fires extending kill range...
Send us a text Welcome to another unfiltered Members Only episode where Trent and Aaron spiral into storytime chaos—ripping into everything from the cult of military influencers to the sacred tradition of roasting yourself in the team room. Aaron drops the mic with a jailhouse tale involving littering (yes, really), an angry Ohio cop, and a court date just days before shipping to Lackland. They torch the idea of stolen valor and the performative milfluencer scene, and Trent calls out the “no ...
Send us a text Peaches kicks the door in with a full-spectrum roast of the military news cycle—because apparently everything from nuclear micro-reactors to Space Force identity crises hit at once. He drags drones, typhoons, politicians, and anyone who thinks DEI is the DoD’s biggest threat. He calls out NASA’s cooler cousin, dunks on heavy-weather boat psychos, and casually reminds you the feds probably know way more about Epstein than they’ll ever admit. If you came for sugarcoating, you’re ...
Send us a text Peaches sits down with Idaho SWAT officer and 600-pound deadlifter Chris Jacob to drop some uncomfortable truths about what it really means to look, act, and perform like a professional. From chasing suspects to coaching CrossFit, Chris doesn’t sugarcoat how being out of shape in uniform isn’t just lazy—it’s dangerous. They get brutally honest about law enforcement culture, the myth of “less aggressive policing,” and why your command presence might be the only thing keeping som...
Send us a text Let’s be honest—if you roll up to a Special Warfare event with unmarked gear, you’ve already told the cadre who’s quitting first. In this episode, Peaches rips through the basics every wannabe operator somehow ignores: how to mark your fins, booties, and mask so your stuff doesn’t vanish in the pool—or get jacked by the guy next to you. No fluff, no editing magic, just Peaches fumbling through real-world prep like a pro who’s done it too many times to care. He calls out lazy ca...
Send us a text Peaches and Trent are back in the team room—no script, no filter, and somehow their best Operator Training Summit yet. Coming straight off the Nashville event, they pull the curtain back on what really happens when 40 candidates, a handful of coaches, and a mountain of gear collide in one turf-covered facility. Peaches dishes on how sleeping indoors, training for 11 hours in the pool, and running the dreaded 10-ups turned chaos into confidence. Trent talks logistics, lessons le...
