Ones Ready
A team of active duty Combat Control (CCT), Pararescue (PJ), and Special Reconnaissance (SR) leveraging our 69 years of special operations experience to make the next generation of operators smarter, faster and stronger than we ever were. We are the PREMIERE resource for all things Air Force Special Warfare. The Ones Ready Podcast is honest talk about what it is like to go from a know-nothing high school graduate to an elite Special Operator. We will cover important practices for success including physical training, nutrition, recovery, and mindset traits essential to any team. Join us in The Team Room to get all your questions answered!! 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.

Ep 577: Blow It Up or Not?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Peaches, Aaron, and Trent are back—and yeah, this one goes off the rails in the best way.
From breaking down a mission that sounds too insane to be real, to calling out bad takes, weak opinions, and internet “experts,” this episode is a full send.
We’re talking blowing aircraft in place, seven-hour infil flights, impossible timelines—and why most people have no idea what they’re actually watching when these operations go down.
Then it pivots—hard. Music in the team room, why your assumptions about military culture are wrong, and how dudes crushing Katy Perry workouts are probably better operators than you think.
Oh—and if you’re new here? Welcome. We’re not here to make you feel good—we’re here to tell you the truth and laugh while doing it.
Bottom line: this world is way more chaotic, hilarious, and impressive than you think.
