Trent flies solo and takes a flamethrower to nostalgia—inside the military, inside Air Force Special Warfare, and inside your own head. What does “make it great again” even mean? When was it great… really? Trent breaks down why every generation swears their pipeline, their suffering, and their era was the peak—and why that thinking quietly poisons progress. From GWOT legends to pipeline myths, cadre trauma, and emotional memory, this episode is a reality check for anyone yelling from the sidelines. Legacy matters. Fallen brothers matter. But if all you’ve got is “back in my day,” you’re not helping—you’re just loud.

Peaches goes full America-First-energy breaking down the 2025 National Security Strategy — AKA 33 pages of political chest-thumping turned into a spicy Ones Ready rant. Forget the bureaucratic fluff: border security, nukes, China, DEI dumpster-fires, NATO freeloading — Peaches calls it exactly how every warfighter wishes they could say it in briefings. If you think you’re informed because you skim headlines on social… think again. Grab a snack and prepare to get smarter (and maybe a little pissed).

Peaches and Trent roll into another beautifully unprepared episode packed with humor, straight talk, and real military insight. From the Okinawa body-slam everyone argues about to actually useful Air Force leadership lessons, fan-mail adventures, pipeline expectations, and what young candidates should really learn before joining Special Warfare, the guys keep it light, honest, and genuinely helpful. If you want a mix of Air Force culture, Special Warfare mindset, leadership truth bombs, and a laugh or two, this one delivers without the negativity spiral.

Strap in, kids. This episode is the equivalent of a Tasty Gains creatine gummy to the dome—sweet, punchy, and packed with fire. The crew goes full send on everything from the absurd pipeline reorg memos to SEER spouses who think a YouTube comment is a call to arms. Peaches drops savage truths about military hierarchy, pipeline chaos, and why instructors are the ones always eating the crap sandwich. Also: war stories, karaoke bangers, and a weather guy who thinks he's a JTAC. If you're mad? Good. That means you're listening.

Retired Chief PJ Yo-Yo Keaton shows up and immediately proves why half the community worships him and the other half is still trying to keep up. Peaches and Trent drag him through a career of combat rescues, dumb mistakes that almost killed him, leadership hot takes, and the kind of honesty that would vaporize a modern CBT. Yo-Yo breaks down why standards matter, why mediocrity is a disease, and why today’s Airmen desperately need a reality check. He also casually admits to running ultras fueled by Taco Bell and pocket pizza. This episode punches you in the throat and then tells you to hydrate. If you're looking for motivation, buckle up — Yo-Yo’s here to ruin your excuses.

Peaches and Trent drag the Air Force’s favorite fantasy into the daylight: the idea that “nothing ever happens in Africa.” Major Mike Voto shows up and calmly dismantles a decade of complacency, bureaucratic daydreaming, and leadership cosplay that left defenders untrained, undermanned, and standing on a Kenyan airfield praying the cavalry might arrive sometime today-ish.
He drops truth bombs about zero-prep deployments, wet-behind-the-ears defenders thrown into real combat, and the surreal aftermath where the wrong people got medals and the right people got silence. If you think you know what happened at Manda Bay, buckle up—Peaches isn’t here to stroke egos, he’s here to wake you up.
If this episode makes you uncomfortable, good. It should.

Aaron unloads on the Air Force Special Warfare leadership with the fury of a thousand ignored NCOs. If you're wondering why morale is in the toilet and retention’s circling the drain, look no further than the clown show running the pipeline overhaul. Instructors? Ignored. Functional managers? Ghosted. Messaging? Nonexistent. This isn’t just poor leadership—it’s sabotage disguised as progress. If you’re in charge and this episode hits a nerve… maybe that’s the point. Fix it—or get out of the way.

Trent’s back on the mic and absolutely done with anonymous complainers, lazy leadership, and generals who think PT is optional. From the “Creech gate crisis” to government shutdown panic, he’s torching every excuse in sight. If you’ve ever thought “they should just open another gate,” buckle up—Trent’s got news for you.
He dives into why the Air Force burns people to the ground, how our “greatest resource” lip service is complete nonsense, and why generals need to stop hiding behind waivers and start doing pushups. It’s raw, hilarious, and unfiltered commentary on the military circus we all know too well.
Stick around for stories of GTC abuse, political delusion, and one final truth bomb about your toxic social media habits. Spoiler: it’s not the world—it’s you.
This is Ones Ready at its most savage—no filters, no excuses, no PowerPoint slides.

Peaches drops a fresh Daily Drop packed with real military updates, Special Warfare insight, and a full tour through what’s happening across the DoD. From Army sensor tests in Europe to Marine fast-rope drills in the Caribbean, this episode hits every corner of the force. Peaches breaks down why attributes matter in Special Warfare selection, how every exercise ties directly to the job, and why candidates must show raw potential—not just speed on a run. He also dives into tank gunnery in Bulgaria, airborne night navigation, Navy refueling ops, Coast Guard rescues, Space Force silence, and a Silver Star story that actually deserves attention. Plus: the mystery of submarine navigation, political noise in the defense world, and why getting your news from credible sources matters more than ever.

Peaches, Aaron, and Trent descend straight into the stupidity of the Zulu Course’s brand-new, completely unnecessary creed. Peaches calls out the clown show of inventing a “course creed” no one asked for, roasting the mystery officers who clearly typed it up between PowerPoint slides. The crew breaks down why merging career fields is delusional, why branding matters, and why whining about getting smoked at Zulu basically means you should quit now. If you think the Air Force needs more creeds, ceremonies, or cosplay-operator energy… Peaches has some words for you.

Aaron sits down with Ryan “Max Afterburner” Bodenheimer—Strike Eagle pilot, Thunderbird #2, and one of the most grounded high-performers to ever touch a flight line. They dive into mentorship, resilience, building real confidence, finding purpose after the military, and why today’s warriors need challenge—not comfort.

Peaches and Trent sit down with Kody Dickerson — the guy who took every hit life could throw: failed run, COVID cruise, family crisis, BUD/S heartbreak, the whole stack. And instead of folding, he rebuilt himself into a SWAT enforcer, gang-unit problem-solver, and CrossFit machine. Kody breaks down the moments that rocked him, the honesty that saved him, and the mindset that pulled him out of a 250-pound fog and back into the fight. If you’re still telling yourself “now’s not the right time,” Peaches and Trent are basically calling you out.

Buckle up, Ones Ready fam—Aaron and Trent dive headfirst into the clown show of Democratic lawmakers (all ex-military or intel vets) dropping a cringy, scripted video urging service members to ditch "illegal orders." Spoiler: They're gaslighting the ranks with zero specifics, just vibes. Trump fires back calling it sedition punishable by death (he got the penalty wrong, but the charge? Spot on). We break down the real deal—sedition's 20 years, treason's the death penalty stuff like Milley's China stunt. Hot takes fly on media narratives, the Tweedledee-Tweedledum incitement defense, and why defying orders could land you in Leavenworth if you're wrong. No sugarcoating: Politicians are trash, oaths matter, and this is how civil wars brew. If you're in uniform, listen up—we're calling out the hypocrisy from Jason Crow's Jan 6 cowardice to Biden's vaccine mandates. Truth bombs only, no BS.

Peaches and Trent dive straight into the chaos—no disclaimers, no corporate tone, just two dudes calling out the absurdity of modern military leadership. From COVID reinstatement madness to commanders who rubber-stamp illegal orders and still get promoted, Peaches unloads on the Air Force’s “do as we say, not as we do” culture. Trent breaks down why officers obsess over year-groups like it’s astrology, why reinstated members get screwed, and how the Pentagon avoids accountability like it’s a PT test. The boys torch everything from Secret Service incompetence to Navy misery to teenagers who show up to job interviews looking like they escaped Hot Topic at 2 a.m. It’s raw, it’s ruthless, it’s Ones Ready at full power.

Alright, slackers—Peaches drops your daily dose of military reality on November 20th, no sugarcoating, just the gritty facts. He breaks down special warfare selection like it's a bad date: show up with the raw goods or get ghosted. Plugs the Operator Training Summit because apparently you need Taylor Starch to teach you not to wreck your knees while pretending to train. Then it's Apache love—10th Mountain's new toys for terrain domination, Poland live-fires extending kill range because why not? Army's vaccine U-turn lets ex-officers herd back the mandate rejects; Navy's got a fancy new destroyer for whatever "multi-mission" means this week. F-15Es playing long-range from Diego Garcia, F-35 export drama stirring Middle East pots, record Somalia strikes zapping terrorists in "self-defense." Space Force promos (yawn), Coast Guard's drug hauls and flood heroics—oh, and they might not actually have swastika issues, but who knows? Peaches mocks crayon-eaters, geeks on aviation, and chuckles at Trump shutting down a reporter with "quiet little piggy." If you're whining about prep pains, maybe skip this and stay mediocre.

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.

Peaches kicks the door in with a full-spectrum roast of the military news cycle—because apparently everything from nuclear micro-reactors to Space Force identity crises hit at once. He drags drones, typhoons, politicians, and anyone who thinks DEI is the DoD’s biggest threat. He calls out NASA’s cooler cousin, dunks on heavy-weather boat psychos, and casually reminds you the feds probably know way more about Epstein than they’ll ever admit. If you came for sugarcoating, you’re lost. If you came for truth bombs from someone who’s actually been there, buckle up.

Peaches sits down with Idaho SWAT officer and 600-pound deadlifter Chris Jacob to drop some uncomfortable truths about what it really means to look, act, and perform like a professional. From chasing suspects to coaching CrossFit, Chris doesn’t sugarcoat how being out of shape in uniform isn’t just lazy—it’s dangerous.
They get brutally honest about law enforcement culture, the myth of “less aggressive policing,” and why your command presence might be the only thing keeping someone from pulling the trigger. Chris opens up about losing 75 pounds, founding Guardian Labs, and using peptides to recover faster and train harder—all while raising a family and mentoring new recruits.
Peaches and Chris dive into everything from tactical fitness, accountability, and police discretion to what happens when your “desk job” becomes your downfall. This episode isn’t about politics or excuses—it’s about showing up, shutting up, and setting the standard.
If your gut’s hanging over your belt, consider this your wake-up call.

Let’s be honest—if you roll up to a Special Warfare event with unmarked gear, you’ve already told the cadre who’s quitting first. In this episode, Peaches rips through the basics every wannabe operator somehow ignores: how to mark your fins, booties, and mask so your stuff doesn’t vanish in the pool—or get jacked by the guy next to you. No fluff, no editing magic, just Peaches fumbling through real-world prep like a pro who’s done it too many times to care. He calls out lazy candidates, cheap tape, and sticky-fingered teammates, all while dropping legit pipeline wisdom. Whether you’re heading to the Operator Training Summit or just want to stop looking like a soup sandwich, this is your no-excuses field guide to not being that guy.

Peaches and Trent are back in the team room—no script, no filter, and somehow their best Operator Training Summit yet. Coming straight off the Nashville event, they pull the curtain back on what really happens when 40 candidates, a handful of coaches, and a mountain of gear collide in one turf-covered facility.
Peaches dishes on how sleeping indoors, training for 11 hours in the pool, and running the dreaded 10-ups turned chaos into confidence. Trent talks logistics, lessons learned, and how every OTS somehow tops the last. Together they lay out what’s coming next—Vegas, Europe, and maybe a few surprises along the way.
Then the gloves come off as they shift from pool decks to policy: leadership gone soft, PME that teaches nothing, and a culture allergic to accountability. Peaches and Trent don’t rant—they coach the Air Force on how to get its edge back. This one’s equal parts after-action report and open challenge to anyone who’s lost their fire.

In this unfiltered members-only solo rant, Jared wrestles with the never-ending Tim Kennedy drama—because apparently just being a Green Beret and UFC fighter wasn’t enough for the guy. With fake valor awards, bogus war stories, and a book full of stolen valor sauce, Tim Kennedy’s credibility is in free fall. But here's the twist: do we keep crushing him, or is it time to circle the wagons and offer a redemption arc?
Jared takes you behind the scenes of the veteran influencer world—calling out the hypocrisy, wrestling with his own moments of public misrepresentation (yep, even at a graduation), and pushing back against the idea that every screw-up deserves permanent exile. He shares real stories of leadership, PTSD, and the difference between isolating and insulating someone who’s fallen off the rails.
Snarky, reflective, and brutally honest—this is what happens when you're tired of the internet outrage cycle but still believe in accountability.

Peaches rolls solo in this scorched-earth episode of Ones Ready—no filters, no fluff. He lights up everything from the Air Force’s new SWAS 2.0 gut-check to the Navy’s Medal of Honor cover-up and the ridiculous “high-stakes leadership certificate” that’s basically a digital participation trophy for wannabe operators.
He calls out politicians, pokes fun at the government shutdown circus, and questions why Airmen need morale patches like emotional support blankets. Then he drops a hard truth: you’re either ready for life or you’re not.
This is Peaches at his finest—equal parts rage, logic, and humor. If you’re thin-skinned, skip it. If you’re tired of fake motivation, buckle up.

You ever read something so cringey it physically hurts? Peaches has—and it’s called the Zulu Course Creed. In this episode, he tears into the latest “motivational masterpiece” that the Air Force somehow thought needed to exist. Spoiler: it sounds like ChatGPT wrote it after watching too many recruiting commercials.
Between roasting the wannabe warrior poetry and showing love for the real grind behind training, Peaches breaks down what’s right, what’s wrong, and why the people building creeds instead of warriors need to hit the pool and rethink their lives. There’s Goggins stories, shutdown rants, and wild butterfly-effect moments that’ll make you question how the hell anything in the DOD gets done.
If you’re allergic to BS and love hearing someone actually say what everyone’s thinking—this one’s for you.

Everyone online says the new Special Warfare “Zulu Course” is trash—so Peaches and Trent decided to light it up. This isn’t a soft take or sanitized military PR moment. It’s two retired operators roasting the chaos, the memes, and the ridiculous leadership gag orders that make no sense. Peaches calls out the “change fatigue” across the DOD, breaks down why the Zulu rollout will be rough, and drops truth bombs about command cluelessness, budget black holes, and the myth of the “company man.” If you can’t handle sarcasm and honesty about how training actually works, go listen to something else.
