Forget the motivational fluff—this one’s raw. Peaches sits down with Rob, a Navy vet and father of a Special Warfare candidate, to talk about what really happens when your kid volunteers for hell. From bottom-of-the-pool breakdowns to recruiter nonsense, this convo hits every nerve: pride, fear, frustration, and a dad’s brutal honesty about letting go. Rob doesn’t sugarcoat it—he talks about raising a son who fails, adapts, and keeps fighting. It’s not about the uniform—it’s about grit, humility, and realizing your kid’s journey isn’t yours to control. Parents, this one’s gonna sting a little.
