    Ep 550: Leadership, Fitness, and Recruiting—Why Accuracy Still Matters

    2026/1/16 | 20 mins.

    Send us a textThis solo episode is part leadership talk, part reality check. Peaches opens with congratulations—and a warning—to newly selected Air Force Chiefs: the stripe isn’t a finish line, it’s a daily obligation. From there, he breaks down recent uniform and PT updates, why fitness standards exist beyond checklists, and how preparedness matters even in “non-combat” roles. The episode closes with a nuanced take on recruiting content—why dunking on recruiters misses the point, but accuracy still matters, especially when misinformation creates false expectations for candidates. Not outrage. Not hype. Just perspective, responsibility, and earned credibility.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and solo format 01:20 Congrats to new Chiefs—and the warning 04:10 Earning the stripe every day 06:30 Leadership mistakes and learning publicly 08:50 Duty identifiers, boots, and Friday shirts 11:40 Why PT standards exist 14:30 Preparedness outside combat arms 16:50 Recruiting videos and internet outrage 18:40 Why accuracy beats hype 21:00 SEER explained correctly 23:30 Calling out misinformation the right way 26:00 Final thoughts on responsibility and trust🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Comment with your take 🌟 Leave a review 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Check out the merch storeSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY...

    2026/1/15 | 19 mins.

    Send us a textPeaches dives headfirst into the swamp of veteran drama—Tim Kennedy, Shrek McPhee, stolen valor call-outs, and the internet’s obsession with dragging up skeletons. He calls BS on the witch hunts, breaks down how accusations wreck careers long before proof, and exposes the military justice system’s shady double standards. From OSI horror stories to generals cashing in on their rank, nothing’s off-limits. If you think this episode is about playing nice—you’re already lost.⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Peaches sets the stage: busy week, no fluff 1:10 – Nashville and Vegas OTS updates 2:30 – Tim Kennedy, Shrek, and stolen valor heat 5:00 – Why dragging old dirt ruins everyone 7:00 – OSI investigations and dirty tactics 10:00 – Sexual assault accusations gone sideways 13:00 – Wrong name, wrong career destroyed 15:00 – Drawing the line: stolen valor vs personal lives 16:00 – Goggins and the deadbeat dad smear 17:00 – Corrupt generals cashing in post-retirement 18:30 – Peaches signs off (for now)🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Smash the like button 🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the chaos 💬 Drop your take in the comments—who’s right, who’s full of it? 🌟 Leave a review (bonus points for sarcasm) 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership for insider access 👕 Hit the merch store and rep the teamSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY...

    Ep 549: Venezuela's Maduro Snatch & Grab a Psyop… It Worked (And That’s the Point)

    2026/1/13 | 36 mins.

    Send us a textPeaches and Aaron break down the report coming out of Venezuela that has the internet melting down—mystery weapons, drones, sonic effects, and a bodyguard claiming U.S. operators dismantled an entire base in minutes. Is it real? Is it exaggerated? Is it a Psyop? The uncomfortable answer is: it doesn’t matter. This episode isn’t about fantasy weapons—it’s about deterrence, dominance, and credibility. They unpack why modern warfare blends cyber, air dominance, information ops, and violence of action—and why near-peer adversaries just recalculated their risk overnight. Whether this was tech, terror, or psychological warfare, the message was clear: you are not in the same league.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and Venezuela context 02:00 Psyop vs reality—why both can be true 04:45 What the bodyguard actually claimed 07:30 Violence of action and elite shooting 10:30 “300 rounds per minute” explained 13:40 Sonic / directed-energy discussion 17:30 Havana Syndrome parallels 20:00 Why deterrence doesn’t need receipts 22:40 Tier-one teams and information warfare 26:30 China, Russia, and recalculated risk 30:10 Why this is how wars are avoided 34:30 Final warning: don’t test it🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Comment if this was deterrence or hype 🌟 Leave a review 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Check out the merch storeSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY...

    Ep 548: Everyone Isn’t Stupid (Zulu Course)—You’re Just Arguing Like an Ass

    2026/1/12 | 1h 12 mins.

    Send us a textThis episode is a masterclass in why bad arguments rot organizations from the inside. Aaron, Trent, and Peaches dig into the Special Warfare pipeline drama, the Zulu course outrage, and the lazy take that “students won’t retain anything.” Here’s the problem: that argument only works if students are stupid, instructors are stupid, or leadership is stupid—and none of those are true. They break down logistics, attrition, training progression, risk tolerance, and why waiting for data matters more than internet yelling. Add in OTS growth, influencer nonsense, fraud headlines, and team-room humor, and you get a classic Ones Ready reality check. If you care about the community, this one’s for you.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and no plan, as usual 02:15 Good Airmen doing real-world rescues 05:00 Why “students won’t retain anything” is a bad argument 09:30 Zulu course outrage explained 14:40 Who you’re actually calling stupid 19:30 Logistics, basing, and why change is slow 24:50 Risk tolerance vs risk avoidance 30:35 Forgetting skills—and why that’s normal 36:50 Why waiting for data matters 42:55 Influencers, hype videos, and misinformation 48:30 OTS growth, feedback, and next steps 55:10 Predictions, humor, and community reality🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Drop your take 🌟 Leave a review 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Check out the merch store 📍 operatortrainingsummit.comSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY...

    Ep 547: Special Reconnaissance Isn’t “1% Elite”—And Lying About It Hurts Everyone

    2026/1/09 | 20 mins.

    Send us a textPeaches goes straight at a viral hype video that sells Special Reconnaissance with bad math, bad facts, and Hollywood fluff. No hate on SR—those dudes do real work—but saying “1 Special Reconnaissance operator for every 100 SEALs,” claiming JTAC authority, and tossing around cyber buzzwords isn’t transparency, it’s misinformation. This episode breaks down what Special Reconnaissance actually does, what they don’t, why recruiting myths stick around, and how AI-generated hype is making things worse.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and why this matters 02:05 Why recruiting myths won’t die 04:35 The viral SR video that crossed the line 07:45 “1% elite” math doesn’t work 11:35 SR vs SEALs—numbers ≠ difficulty 14:10 Who can actually call airstrikes 16:20 Cyber buzzwords vs real missions 18:45 Why accuracy matters to candidates 21:10 How to ask better questions 23:30 Truth over hype—every time🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Drop your questions 🌟 Leave a review 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Grab Ones Ready merchSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY...
