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.

Ops Brief 153: Daily Drop - 7 May 2026 - Green Berets Betting on Themselves & USA’s Getting FAT?!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Peaches is back for the May 7 Daily Drop—and yeah… this one goes from special operations gambling scandals to America’s obesity problem real damn fast.
A Green Beret allegedly used classified intel, dropped $30K on a prediction market… and walked away with $400K. And honestly? Peaches has thoughts. Spoiler: he’s not exactly mad about it.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon keeps throwing hundreds of millions at AI, cyber warfare, and data analytics, the Air Force is resurrecting B-1 bombers from the boneyard, and the Coast Guard is building its own special missions command.
Oh—and if you think America’s doing great physically… Peaches spent one night on the Vegas strip and came back with some uncomfortable observations.
Bottom line: the future is getting faster, warfare is getting smarter, and if we don’t fix ourselves physically… none of it matters.
