In this episode, Peaches and Trent dive deep into the ever-entertaining world of military bureaucracy, starting with a hot topic: signature block pronouns. Is it inclusivity? Is it confusion? Or is it just another way to keep us all on our toes? They take a comedic detour to the Facebook Airman/NCO page, the unofficial hub for venting frustrations and throwing shade—because where else would we air our grievances?

From there, things get spicy as the guys tackle the big picture of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in the military and how it plays out, especially for female candidates in the Special Warfare pipeline. Spoiler alert: it's a mixed bag. But, as always, Peaches and Trent keep it real, breaking down the "controlled chaos" of training and why knowing what goes on behind the scenes is key. 

The duo also throws in some classic Ones Ready gold: CDCs (do we even need them anymore?), the eternal struggle with boonie hats and unit patches, and, of course, why every new recruit apparently needs a driver's license. Plus, if you've ever wondered why recruiting feels like trying to fill a leaky bucket or why units seem constantly undermanned, this episode’s got you covered. Expect laughs, a few headshakes, and some no-nonsense takes on the realities of today’s military life!
