This one gets spicy.
Peaches, Aaron, and Trent dig into a $99 million Air Force coaching contract and ask the uncomfortable question: why are we outsourcing leadership?
When NCOs and officers are supposed to mentor, coach, correct, and develop their people, what happens when that responsibility gets handed to a third-party company? What are we losing in the process? Reps. Hard conversations. Ownership. Growth.
The guys break down contracting culture, institutional drift, how outsourcing became the easy button, and why paying civilians to “coach” Airmen might actually be robbing future leaders of the experience they need.
They also hit on PME, leadership development, range training, the difference between logistics support and skill outsourcing, and how money gets justified inside big systems.
It’s not anti-contractor. It’s anti-lazy leadership.
And yes… it ends with a gold medal hockey celebration because America.

This week it’s just Peaches and Trent doing what they do best—talking shop, talking trash, and pulling back the curtain on real-world military experience.
Trent just wrapped a full-blown hostage rescue film project with helicopters, free fall, K9 bites, Rangers, and 16-hour days. No Hollywood fluff—just a bunch of former SOF dudes trying to pull off a legit tactical production without a billion-dollar budget. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into recreating real operations on camera, this is it.
They also dive into Olympic drama, speed skating carnage, the new D-Day weather movie, why special operations weather actually mattered in WWII, and whether declassified alien files are about to break the internet—or disappoint everyone.
It’s equal parts military ops, filmmaking chaos, veteran brain health, OTS prep pressure, and calling out internet keyboard warriors who demand resumes in the comments.
No script. No filter. Just experience talking.

This episode tackles the most important—and most misunderstood—attribute in Air Force Special Warfare: integrity. Aaron and Peaches break down why integrity isn’t about being perfect, looking good, or avoiding trouble—it’s about owning mistakes immediately, telling the truth when it costs you, and keeping your word when no one is watching. From ND ownership, DUIs, and pipeline consequences to combat decision-making, gray-area ethics, and trust inside elite teams, this is a blunt reality check. You can’t fake integrity, and once it’s gone, nothing else matters. If you want to be trusted with lives, secrets, and missions, this is where it starts.

Peaches runs a fast Daily Drop Ops Brief and opens by correcting his earlier miscall on the USS collision—owning it and fixing it. The Army wraps up a $27M digital network overhaul in South Korea, surges troops into Hawaii housing pressure, conducts nighttime Arctic air assaults in Alaska, and tests new Apache anti-drone rounds. The Air Force pushes the Sentinel ICBM timeline into the early 2030s, delays F-15EX deliveries to Kadena, repaints Air Force One, and faces renewed debate about expanding the Air Force Academy versus giving the Space Force its own pipeline. Space Force pushes SWORD readiness platforms and surveys satellite refueling concepts, while the Coast Guard prepares for Indo-Pacific port defense. The episode closes with commercial on-orbit surveillance efforts and nuclear talks with Iran. No panic. Just context.

Strap in—this one’s a mess. The crew breaks down how the Air Force’s first female SERE Chief thought it was a good idea to dox an A1C because his dad called her a “garrison bunny.” Yeah, you read that right. Instead of clapping back with humor, she weaponized her platform of 195k followers to drag a kid who had zero involvement. We torch the hypocrisy, roast the power abuse, and ask the question no one else will: how the hell is this acceptable in uniform? Sprinkle in some Pete Buttigieg jokes, Atlas Shrugged doomsday signals, and a little self-owning about Ones Ready’s own social media run-ins, and you’ve got an episode that pulls no punches. Chiefs, take notes—this is how not to lead.
