    Ep 557: AFSW Attribute - Teamwork

    2/04/2026 | 27 mins.
    Send us a text
    This episode breaks one of the biggest myths in Air Force Special Warfare selection: teamwork is not about getting along. Aaron lays out exactly what instructors are looking for in an attributes-based selection model—and why teamwork is evaluated even in an individually graded pipeline. From hydration and gear prep to buddy breathing, leadership, authenticity, and putting team gear before personal comfort, this is a no-fluff blueprint for being the teammate units actually want. If you think teamwork means giving away reps or playing the spotlight ranger, you’ve already missed the point. This is about selflessness, consistency, and mission-first behavior—from day one.

    Ops Brief 122: Daily Drop - 3 Feb 2026 - Army Recruiting Shifts, ORIs Are Back, and the Shutdown

    2/03/2026 | 18 mins.
    Send us a text
    Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and cuts through a wide slate of military news with zero patience for nonsense. From the Army’s recruiting age creeping up and a 10th Mountain deployment to the Middle East, to a soldier sentenced for murder at Fort Novosel, this episode stays grounded in accountability and reality. Peaches breaks down why the Army paused the soldier-built VECTOR data tool, what Navy pilots flying Air Force F-35As actually learn from it, and why a former Marine drill instructor’s post-release arrest is indefensible. The Air Force brings back no-notice ORIs, lessons learned from Midnight Hammer drive comms upgrades, Space Force stands up a Northern Command component, the Coast Guard responds to deadly maritime incidents, SECDEF Hegseth takes aim at legacy procurement at Blue Origin, and the White House pushes to end the government shutdown. Context over outrage—again.

    Ops Brief 121: Daily Drop - 2 Feb 2026 - Army Recruiting, Trump-Class Ships, and Russian Space Shrapnel

    2/02/2026 | 20 mins.

    Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and moves fast through recruiting wins, force readiness, and why some headlines deserve side-eye. From the Army smashing recruiting goals and Fort Stewart gunnery training to debates over the Trump-class battleship, carrier flight ops, and Marines earning lifesaving awards off duty, this episode balances news with blunt commentary. Peaches also dives into Air Force leadership travel, the YFQ-48 Alpha designation, Coast Guard infrastructure investments, sanctions enforcement in the Caribbean, and NATO concerns about Russia targeting Starlink with orbital shrapnel. The takeaway stays consistent: communications win wars, space debris kills everyone, and context matters more than vibes.

    Ep 556: AFSW Attribute - Problem Solving

    2/02/2026 | 22 mins.
    Send us a text
    This episode closes out the Attributes Series with the one that ties everything together: problem solving. Aaron and Peaches break down what instructors are actually evaluating when they give you impossible tasks, incomplete information, and artificial stress. You’re not expected to find perfect answers—you’re expected to make a decision, communicate it, accept risk, and move. From paralysis by analysis to five-breath resets, triage thinking, and real-world examples from combat, medicine, and selection, this is a practical blueprint for building a decision-making algorithm you can rely on when things are chaotic. Smart doesn’t win. Decisive does.

    ***Sneak Peek***MBRS 78: Charlie Kirk and the NFL: Welcome to Clown World

    1/31/2026 | 37 mins.
    Send us a text
    The Ones Ready crew just lit a fire under every sacred cow—politics, violence, the gym, and yes, even Justin Herbert’s love life. Peaches, Aaron, and Trent rip through the absurdity of modern America: college kids turned radicals, media gaslighting, doomsday cycles, and why half the gym should just put some damn clothes on. We jump from Charlie Kirk’s death fallout to Ricky Hatton’s boxing legacy, NFL drama, and which Air Force career fields are secretly soy. It’s raw, hilarious, and uncomfortable—the exact combo you came here for. If you’re looking for safe spaces, keep moving. If you want unfiltered takes, strap in.

    00:00 – Cold open chaos: “One drink, GO!”
