With battle-tested operators from across USAF SPECWAR and far-reaching web of recruiters, subject matter experts, and friends, there are no questions we can’t answer- and if we can’t, we know exactly where to look.

Exclusive access to bonus episodes!Congrats, you survived the pipeline and think you’ve made it. Spoiler: nobody at your first team gives a damn. In this episode, Peaches and Trent rip the lid off the “career trajectory” nobody tells you about. From being the new guy fetching radios to running a team, dodging AETC orders, and getting stuck in jobs nobody wants (ops shop, anyone?), we break down exactly how fast you go from “student stud” to “old guy with back pain.” We torch the myths, clown on guard bros, debate steroid use in the team room, and even drag the almighty Chiefs’ Group. It’s blunt, funny, and probably the most accurate look you’ll get at life after selection.
