MBRS 69: I Got Arrested Right Before Basic… And Still Shipped
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Ones Ready MBRS Only
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!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 true Scotsman” nonsense that infects veteran one-upmanship.
Oh, and they both agree: if you’re using “retired” to feel better than someone with a med board—get over yourself. This one’s packed with spicy opinions, war room gossip, and just enough UFC banter to keep your BMF belt warm.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- Tim Kennedy’s controversy might be the best thing to happen to “mil talk”
- Aaron’s pre-AF career highlight: spending a night in Akron jail for littering
- The War Room crew’s #1 rule: downplay your own career into oblivion
- “No True Scotsman” veteran edition: the toxic trap of gatekeeping service
- Why med retirees are every bit as legit as 20-year full-timers
- UFC breakdown: Max Holloway still owns the octagon—and the mic
- Being a stay-at-home dad with Zuckerbucks is the real endgame
