Ep 431: MILITARY BROKEN? How DFND is Fixing Your Sleep, Pain, and Readiness Feb 21, 2025

You’re sleep-deprived, broken, and your body’s on a crash course to VA disability. Sound about right? Steve Burnett, CEO of DFND, joins Ones Ready to drop truth bombs on why your body is wrecked and how to fix it. We’re talking infrared sleepwear that legit “drugged” a general (his words, not ours), compression gear that slashes injuries, and why the military STILL refuses to invest in its most important asset—you.

🔥 Are you training to fail? You spend all that time getting strong just to break down and quit early? DFND USA is out here doing what the DoD should’ve done years ago—keeping you in the fight.

Send us a text

Buckle up, team—this one’s a ride. We’ve got Lt. Col. "Won" Bier, a battle-tested A-10 "Hawg" driver, and we’re talking real combat, real stakes, and real frustration over the fate of close air support. From getting shot at in the middle of nowhere to training the next generation of warfighters, Won has seen it all.

We dive into what makes the A-10 irreplaceable, the lessons the Air Force never seems to learn, and the mental battles of making life-or-death decisions at 10,000 feet. Oh, and if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you stare at a screen for eight hours watching dudes take a dump in a field, you’ll want to hear this.

Ep 423: To Be Resilient or Robust - This Is The Question! Feb 07, 2025

Send us a text

You’ve heard it before—“be resilient, bounce back, never quit.” But what if we told you that’s the wrong mindset? What if instead of recovering from the hits, you were built to take them without breaking? Peaches goes deep on why “resilience” is just a fancy way of saying you got your ass kicked and had to get back up—when you should be focusing on not getting knocked down in the first place. This is the kind of conversation that separates the weak from the warriors. Get in, take notes, and stop waiting to recover when you could just dominate.

No smoke sessions for the sake of suffering, no screaming about how you’re a disappointment to your ancestors—just pure, unfiltered knowledge. From running form to water confidence to rucking efficiency, we stripped it down to the fundamentals and rebuilt our attendees into future operators. Some of us (not naming names, Peaches) even cooked for you. Want in? We’re doing it again in Florida. Don’t just watch—show up.

Alright, savages—buckle up! Today, Peaches is diving into self-talk and whether that little voice in your head is pushing you forward or dragging you down. Is negative self-talk the secret weapon of the elite? Or is it just another excuse to cry in your Cheerios? 🤷‍♂️

We break down the real psychology behind self-motivation—from calling yourself out like a fat little cake-eating quitter to hyping yourself up like a warrior monk on a mission. 💥 Either way, this ain't your therapist’s idea of positive affirmations. If you're out here looking for safe spaces and warm fuzzies, you're in the wrong podcast.

***Sneak Peek*** MBRS 20: Pronouns, DEI, Facebook, Boomer Talk Dec 14, 2024

Send us a text

In this episode, Peaches and Trent dive deep into the ever-entertaining world of military bureaucracy, starting with a hot topic: signature block pronouns. Is it inclusivity? Is it confusion? Or is it just another way to keep us all on our toes? They take a comedic detour to the Facebook Airman/NCO page, the unofficial hub for venting frustrations and throwing shade—because where else would we air our grievances?
From there, things get spicy as the guys tackle the big picture of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in the military and how it plays out, especially for female candidates in the Special Warfare pipeline. Spoiler alert: it's a mixed bag. But, as always, Peaches and Trent keep it real, breaking down the "controlled chaos" of training and why knowing what goes on behind the scenes is key.
The duo also throws in some classic Ones Ready gold: CDCs (do we even need them anymore?), the eternal struggle with boonie hats and unit patches, and, of course, why every new recruit apparently needs a driver's license. Plus, if you've ever wondered why recruiting feels like trying to fill a leaky bucket or why units seem constantly undermanned, this episode’s got you covered. Expect laughs, a few headshakes, and some no-nonsense takes on the realities of today’s military life!

Yippee-Ki-Yay, Gym-Goers! Trent’s Laying Down the Law—Die Hard Style
Picture this: Trent McClane, rogue Air Force operator, bursts into the gym like he’s storming Nakatomi Plaza. But this time, the enemy isn't terrorists—it's bad gym etiquette! He’s on a mission, and the stakes are high. Armed with a towel in one hand and a cleaning spray in the other, Trent lays down the rules like it’s life or death.
Rule number one? Cleanliness is next to godliness—you gotta wipe down that equipment after your workout, or you’re going down. Rule two? Put your gear away, people. You wouldn’t leave explosives lying around, would you? Same goes for dumbbells. Respect personal space—no unsolicited advice or invading someone’s zone. And if someone’s setting up their camera for that perfect PR shot, don’t go Bruce Willis and photobomb it!
But here’s the twist—this isn’t just about surviving the gym. Trent reminds us these rules are just as crucial in the pipeline, where teamwork and respect make or break the mission. In the end, it’s not just about lifting weights, it’s about lifting each other up. And if you follow these simple guidelines, you’ll come out on top—just like our hero, Trent McClane.
So, the next time you hit the gym or step into the pipeline, ask yourself: **What would John McClane do?** Stay clean, stay cool, and don’t forget to **respect the mission**. Yippee-ki-yay, gym rats!

***Sneak Peek***MBRS 17: Stolen Valor?! Sep 23, 2024

Send us a text

Hey Ones Ready members! Aaron kicks things off by sharing his latest adventure and reminding us all why staying hydrated is key—especially when you're bouncing between training and real life. From there, he dives into his military training days, sprinkled with some laughs about the struggles of being a bad sleeper (we've all been there, right?).
The chat then takes a turn across the pond to the UK, where things are heating up with immigration and freedom of speech debates. The crew gets real about the protests, the government's response, and how these issues could affect our brothers and sisters stationed in the UK. They also touch on the challenges of assimilation and the tricky balance European countries face with open borders.
Then, there's a deep dive into the status of forces agreement—a bit of a maze for anyone living in England as an American airman. The crew dishes out some solid advice: steer clear of social media rants and avoid stirring the pot, because those UK laws are no joke. They wrap it up with a look at the different takes on free speech between the US and the UK—eye-opening stuff!
And if you thought that was it, the team finished strong with a no-holds-barred discussion on stolen valor, calling out Timmy Walz from the Minnesota Air National Guard. They don’t hold back on their frustration with the veteran community's toxic behaviors, stressing that integrity and honoring true veterans’ sacrifices are what really matter.
It's another episode packed with laughs, insights, and a whole lot of truth bombs—just the way we like it!

Get ready to dive deep into the world of military memes, pipeline culture, and leadership insights with the creator of the infamous SOT Team 6 meme page!

From surviving the toughest parts of the pipeline to adjusting to life in the regular Air Force, this conversation is packed with the real, raw experiences of those who’ve been through it.
We’re also talking about the power of memes in the military—how they build bonds, provide comic relief, and even give leaders a window into what’s really going on. Expect insights on why it’s crucial not to take things too personally, controlling the controllables, and the unique relationships between those who made it through the pipeline and those who didn’t.
Whether you’re in the pipeline, a leader, or just love good military humor, this episode is packed with lessons, laughs, and the kind of straight talk that makes Ones Ready a must-watch. Don’t miss it!

We often get asked, "What is grit, and how will I be evaluated on that attribute at the Air Force Special Warfare Assessment and Selection, or A&S, course? How do I prepare?"

Send us a text

Well, you guys did it. You actually shamed Taylor Starch into getting a new microphone. The comment section actually made someone take action. Just for the Aaron Love Hate Club- no, I am not leaving the pod. That suggestion will be ignored.
The conversation picks right up where Taylor left off and centers on the significance of training connective tissue to prevent injuries and enhance running performance. It underscores the importance of maintaining proper length, load, and duration in connective tissue training while emphasizing the repercussions of training errors and the subsequent rehabilitation cycle. Furthermore, it delves into the value of targeted strength training for connective tissue, particularly in absorbing and dispersing force during running, as well as the effects of training on tendon stiffness and the interplay between muscular and connective tissue health.
The discussion also addresses prevalent knee injuries in runners, including IT band pain, patellofemoral pain, and patellar tendon issues, while dispelling misconceptions and outdated practices related to these issues and stressing the significance of load, strain, and capacity in addressing them. The conversation also explores the importance of joint mobility, muscle training, and the role of the nervous system in augmenting strength and endurance.
It offers insights into tailored solutions for different tissue issues and their impact on bone, connective tissue, and muscle fibers. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of training both slow and fast-twitch muscle fibers, the crucial role of connective tissue in muscle growth, and the importance of joint training. Furthermore, it underscores the need to train specific tissues and adapt to training load errors, providing valuable insights into the principles of rehabilitation and prehabilitation. Additionally, it highlights the significance of expanding tissue capacity and the influence of training on joint mechanics and connective tissue quality.

Send us a text

For those who may be wondering if it's too late to embark on a new career journey, take heart from these inspiring stories.
Lieutenant "Pops" Miller shares his incredible journey from enlisting in the Air Force to becoming an MQ-9 pilot. Initially joining the military because he felt aimless and his father wanted him to be safe, he later pursued a math degree out of defiance, despite facing numerous challenges along the way. His resilience and determination underscore the importance of seizing educational opportunities.
Similarly, Pops' path from a maintenance Airman to an MQ-9 pilot is a testament to the power of perseverance. His emphasis on the value of being reliable and proficient in any career field, as well as his encouragement to stay positive and excel in our chosen paths, is truly motivating.
These stories remind us that it's never too late to pursue our dreams, and that determination and resilience can pave the way for success, no matter the obstacles we face.

Welcome back to the team room! It's the whole squad with special guest, Project One Vet at a Time (POVAT) program director, Mr. Lyle Rosin!
Lyle Rosin, a former first sergeant in the Air Force, shares his experiences managing the welfare of 626 security forces members in Camp Bucca, Iraq. He emphasizes the importance of building a strong team and relying on trusted individuals.

The organization provides financial assistance and aims to raise awareness and revenue to continue its mission.
POVAT, founded by Chief Master Sergeant Will Markham and a team of dedicated individuals, offers support and guidance to veterans, covering the costs of filing claims, medical visits, and other expenses. The organization is committed to ensuring that veterans receive the benefits they deserve based on their individual circumstances. They emphasize the importance of each veteran's unique experiences and provide resources and events to raise funds for their mission. The average cost to put someone through the project is around $10,500, but the increased lifetime financial benefit to the veteran can range from $460,000 to over $1 million.

This one gets spicy immediately! JMac has been on the podcast a couple times before and the Ones Ready Team couldn't wait to get the most BRO that ever went CRO to sit down again!
The conversation was filled with fascinating topics that will inspire you to become a better leader. It covered the unofficial nature of the podcast, which adds an element of authenticity and free-flowing conversation. The importance of podcasts in bringing military conversations to the public cannot be overstated, as it helps to bridge the gap between military personnel and the public.
The conversation also highlighted the need for problem-solving and emotional intelligence in leadership, which are critical skills that every leader should possess. The issue of personnel problems in the military was also discussed, emphasizing the importance of leaders and managers in creating a positive work environment.
Furthermore, the conversation delved into the focus on social issues rather than important matters, the stratification of the force, and its impact on competition. The importance of humility and competence in individuals was also stressed, and the need to cut through the madness and lead with common sense was emphasized.
Overall, the conversation was insightful, inspiring, and motivating. It will make you think about your own leadership skills and encourage you to strive for excellence in all that you do.

Ep 308: UPDATE - Air Force Lowers Body Mass Index (BMI) Entrance Standards Apr 08, 2024

Send us a text

The Team isn't super pumped with the news.
From the Air Force Times:
"The Air Force has loosened its restrictions on body fat for new recruits, one of the latest moves to grow the pool of potential applicants amid the military’s recruiting crisis.
In the past, men and women’s bodies needed to be 20% or 28% fat, respectively, to be eligible for service. Air Force Recruiting Service spokesperson Leslie Brown said Monday that benchmark is now 26% for men and 36% for women."
So why did the Air Force make the decision?! And most importantly, how does the team feel about it? Uh, not good.

Ep 272: Air Force Basic Training and AFSPECWAR Training Program Oct 27, 2023

Send us a text

The Air Force is looking for America's best- not just for Air Force Special Warfare but for the entire Air Force. One of the main questions we get is, "How early should I start training for the Air Force- and what should I do?" Well, as always, we brought on the Subject Matter experts to address just that for Air Force Special Operations hopefuls and everyone across the United States looking to become part of the world's greatest Air Force!
JD Mata and Zach Kinninger are experienced athletes and coaches who went from accomplished Top 25 collegiate football teams to the Special Warfare Candidate Course. While working with the best coaching staff in the DoD at Joint Base San Antonio, their team realized that they needed to go above and beyond to get a higher success rate.
The USAF Special Warfare Pre-Accession Preparation Manual was born from that initial idea. After thousands of man-hours utilizing cutting-edge research and tons of data, the SWCC team was able to field the step-by-step playbook for success in Air Force Special Warfare pipelines and beyond.

Ep 264: Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman - SEAC Ramon Colon-Lopez Sep 15, 2023

Send us a text

The Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC) is a highly respected military position and rank in the US Department of Defense. The SEAC is the most senior enlisted service member by position in the US Armed Forces. They are appointed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) to advise on joint and combined total force integration, utilization, and health of the force. Additionally, they serve as a spokesperson on issues affecting all enlisted personnel. The SEAC may have varying duties as determined by the Chairman, but typically spends a lot of time traveling throughout the Department of Defense, observing education and training, and communicating with the total force, including active and reserve members, veterans, retirees, and military families. The SEAC's term of service is usually 2 years and coincides with the Chairman's tenure, with the possibility of reappointment.
SEAC and Pararescue Legend Ramon Colon-Lopez is the first Airman to hold that position, as the 4th SEAC, and a leader without equal.
Huge thank you to SEAC CZ for taking the time to sit down with Peaches and Aaron on this edition of the Ones Ready Podcast!

Ep 260: Ones Ready Special: The SOF Truths Explained- Truth V Aug 31, 2023

Send us a text

Special Operations Forces use a simple framework to assess, select, train, equip, employ, deploy, and support their force across the DoD. This framework is known as the "SOF Truths".
You may have heard of them before, but in this 5 Part Series, Aaron and Peaches dig down deep to explain what they are, how to apply them, and how to avoid the problems they were meant to solve.
In this episode, we look at SOF Truth V- Most special operations require non-SOF support. From USSOCOM- "The operational effectiveness of our deployed forces cannot be, and never has been, achieved without being enabled by our joint service partners. The support Air Force, Army, Marine and Navy engineers, technicians, intelligence analysts, and the numerous other professions that contribute to SOF, have substantially increased our capabilities and effectiveness throughout the world."
We can't wait to bring you this full series, and we hope you learned something from this one!

Ep 255: Ones Ready Special: The SOF Truths Explained- Truth II Aug 21, 2023

Send us a text

Special Operations Forces use a simple framework to assess, select, train, equip, employ, deploy, and support their force across the DoD. This framework is known as the "SOF Truths".
You may have heard of them before, but in this 5 Part Series, Aaron and Peaches dig down deep to explain what they are, how to apply them, and how to avoid the problems they were meant to solve.
In this episode, we look at SOF Truth II- Quality is better than quantity. Directly from the USSOCOM's own literature- "A small number of people, carefully selected, well trained, and well-led, are preferable to larger numbers of troops, some of whom may not be up to the task."
We can't wait to bring you this full series, and we hope you learned something from this one!

Ep 252: UPDATE- Combat Dive School in the Pipeline? Aug 18, 2023

Recently the Commander of AFSOC, Air Force Special Operations Command, sent a letter to his chain of command asking for the combat dive school and qualification to be removed from the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline. Specifically affected are Special Tactics Officers, Combat Controllers, and Special Reconnaissance career fields. Obviously, this has caused a lot of flail in the communities.
Aaron and Trent have been tracking this issue since it dropped, but we wanted to get you the best possible information now that the smoke has cleared a little bit.

Ep 251: CCT, Adventurist Eric Ballester and Challenging the Drake Passage Aug 15, 2023

Send us a text

Eric Ballester served 20 years in every single combat zone that has mattered since 9/11. From Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, Syria and more unnamed places, Eric served at the highest echelon of United States Special Operations Forces.
As he transitioned off team and started his civilian life, Eric realized he had a lot more left to do, and to give. Eric talks about his problems with transitioning out of the military, his mental health, and finding a new purpose.
And of all the challenges- he chose to be part of a team that will take on the Drake Passage, the most dangerous piece of ocean on the face of the planet. Oh, and they're doing it in a row boat.
Make sure to follow Eric and his team as they take on something that only a handful of people have ever done as they train and prepare to take on this challenge in December of 2023.

Ep 250: Same Here Global Mental Health Professional Eric Kussin Aug 11, 2023

Send us a text

Eric Kussin has a story that is going to sound very familiar to a lot of our listeners out there. Eric was a 4 sport athlete, successful in college, and found himself in a high stakes and high consequence world of the NBA and NHL. Everything in his life was going well... until it wasn't.
When Eric realized much too late that a lifetime of trauma and avoidance had come to fruition, he was thrown into a 2 year period of darkness and despair. But, like all good hero origin stories, that was only the beginning, not the end.
Eric was able to get the help he needed and find a way through his darkness, and that led him to Same Here Global. Initially, Eric started "We're All a Little Crazy Here", a 501c3 organization that wanted to connect all traumas to help others find a tribe to help them through it. That evolved into Same Here Global bringing together Athletes, Celebrities, and Expert Practitioners to help all people struggling with mental health issues.
Please check out Same Here Global at https://samehereglobal.org/ and support if you can. We appreciate Eric's willingness to tell his story and his efforts to find new and better ways to help those dealing with trauma.

Ep 237: Folds of Honor President- F-16 Pilot Col (ret) Nick Nichols Jun 28, 2023

Send us a text

Col Nick Nichols is a decorated USAF F-16 pilot with seven combat tours, serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He also had the privilege of serving as a Group Commander leading nearly 500 Airmen and was responsible for nearly one billion dollars in military assets.
Nick inherited the drive to be a fighter pilot from his father, a Vietnam veteran flying
F-4s, F-100s and F-16s. His father was tragically killed when Nick was only fifteen years old.
On 11 October, 2018, after 30 years of service to his country, Col Nick Nichols climbed out of the cockpit of his F-16 and into the waiting arms of his wife, Carrie.

Meet Dr. Brittany Loney, the mastermind behind the Elite Cognition and Human Optimization (ECHO) program at Core One. As a skilled professional with over 12 years of experience training Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel, Brittany was the first cognitive performance coach embedded within the USASOC Tactical Human Optimization and Rapid Rehabilitation (THOR3) Program. Since then, she has been dedicated to developing and implementing cognitive training programs across SOF, the U.S. national security community, and government sectors. Brittany frequently advises DoD and other U.S. government personnel on how to effectively incorporate cognitive performance principles into training and career pipelines.
Brittany has an impressive educational background, including a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Learning Systems from Florida State University, an M.A. in Kinesiology with an emphasis on Performance Psychology from California State University, Fresno, an M.S. in Exercise Science from Florida State University, and a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Texas State University, where she also played NCAA Division 1 basketball. Her passion for her profession extends beyond the workplace as she enjoys exercising, ultra-running, hiking, paddle boarding, and researching neuroscience, performance, and cognition.
This episode lays the groundwork for everything you need to start mentally preparing yourself for your journey ahead, and some really helpful tools to help you in the moment.

Ep 231: Apache Pilot, Rescue Pilot, Author Lt Col Brian Slade Jun 15, 2023

Send us a text

Meet Lt. Col Brian Slade, a former enlisted Army diesel mechanic who later found himself flying Apaches in Afghanistan as part of the global war on terror. He eventually transferred over to the Air Force, becoming an HH60 Rescue Pilot. Throughout his journey, he learned how to cope with trauma and prioritize his mental health by preparing for stressors rather than just reacting to them.
In honor of Men's mental health month, we had the privilege of sitting down with Lt. Col Slade to gain insight into his experiences and learn valuable tools for dealing with life's challenges. Our conversation with him was enlightening and informative.
For those interested in delving deeper into his story, we highly recommend reading Lt. Col Brian Slade's book, "Cleared Hot." You can find it at https://www.clearedhot.info/. It's a must-read!
We extend our sincerest gratitude to Brian for sharing his time and experience with us.

Ep 229: Empowering Veterans Through Jiu-Jitsu and Brotherhood: The Journey of Jarek Fry and the Veteran Bushido Brotherhood Jun 12, 2023

Send us a text

After answering a calling to join the United States Marines in the heat of the Global War on Terror, Jeric Fry embarked on an unreal journey. From his deployments to the most active combat zones our generation have seen to his experience leading one of the most prestigious institutions in the military, his career was nothing short of exceptional.
However, he found himself lost when he decided to step away from the military and reenter civilian life. Jeric realized that he had no direction, no sense of purpose and no calling. That's what led him to Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Through another equally remarkable set of circumstances, Jeric found himself with a new calling- to find a tribe for every single veteran. A way for them to be included, a place for them to find themselves again, and this was the beginning of the Veteran Bushido Brotherhood.
https://veteranbushidobrotherhood.com/ is a site you need to check out and see exactly what Jeric and his project are about.

Send us a text

Have you ever wondered who packs the parachutes for those "cool guy" videos of Air Force Special Tactics team jumping into enemy territory or pilots ejecting from high-speed aircraft? The answer lies with the Aircrew Flight Equipment personnel, also known as "Parachute Riggers." They have one of the most important jobs in the Air Force, ensuring that the parachute opens flawlessly every time.
It's not just operators who are crucial to the mission in Air Force Special Tactics or Rescue Squadrons. We also rely on a large group of Special Warfare Mission Support AFSC's to help us achieve our goals. MSgt Gabe Macias is just one of these professionals, and he kindly joined us on this episode to discuss everything these Air Force Airmen can contribute to a wide range of Air Force Missions.
We are grateful to MSgt Macias for his insights and hope you enjoy this episode.

Changes in Air Force Special Warfare are coming fast and furious. Just recently, we had a podcast with Jarred Taylor where we dove deep into where we thought TACP was going, what fight would be next- and honestly, there wasn't a lot of agreement across the board.
So, naturally, we wanted to peel back the layers of everything we are doing and explain it all to you so you have the absolute ground truth.
We cover a lot of ground here and talk about every change from the first time you talk to a recruiter until you put on a beret. What did we miss? Leave it in the comments!

Send us a text

We are thrilled to have Retired USAF CCT Legend Chief Mike Lampe back for Part III! His career is one that is filled with incredible stories and experiences, and he graciously shared some of his time in the Vietnam War and beyond with us.

Ep. 207: Ones Ready- Air Force Cross Training 101 Apr 11, 2023

Send us a text

The Ones Ready team has been telling you that Air Force Special Warfare Cross-trainees, that is, folks trying to cross train career fields in the Air Force, are even less likely to graduate the pipeline than their first-term airman counterparts. Why? For a million different reasons. Cross-trainees' challenges are immense, from getting their packet together to physically preparing to be an older, more experienced leader in the pipeline.
This week, Peaches and Trent start with a frank message to all you cross-trainees. We keep seeing the same mistakes and are here to help everyone improve. From recommendation letters and your commander's opinion, some real talk about what people are failing, and some clear explanations of expectations for everyone- this episode is a dose of reality for all those thinking about trying their hand at a new job in the United States Air Force.

Ep. 203: Mental Health Awareness with PJ Steve Nisbet from Shields and Stripes Mar 24, 2023

Send us a text

The mental health stigma in the military has been worn away in recent years- but there is still a lot left to accomplish.
In this episode, we are joined by Steve Nisbet, a Pararescueman and President/Co-founder of Shields and Stripes, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving first responders' and veterans' mental and physical health.
Steve shares his journey as a PJ and his mental health struggles after serving in combat. We dive deep into PTSD and its impact on individuals and their families- and this one gets very real.
Aaron and Steve discuss the stigma surrounding mental health in the first responder and military communities and how Steve and his team are working to break down those barriers through Shields and Stripes. This episode is an inspiring and informative conversation about the challenges of PTSD and the hope that can be found through support and advocacy.
Make sure to go check out Shields and Stripes at shieldsandstripes.org, and if you can donate to this fantastic organization, please do so.

Ep. 200- Leaving Afghanistan: Lessons from HKIA feat. PJs Sean & Chris Mar 16, 2023

Send us a text

Afghanistan's Hamid Karzai International Airport, or HKIA, was the center of the world's attention following the announcement of America's retrograde from Afghanistan over the course of 2021. The images we saw- desperate civilians throwing children over the wall into the arms of Marines and Airmen. The terrifying images of the aftermath of the attack at Abbey Gate. Videos of desperate Afghanis falling from aircraft in their last ditch attempt to escape the Taliban for anywhere other than Afghanistan. It is a time that has been burned into the brains of all American Service Members.
Recently, Congress started hearing some accounts of what happened over the course of those 4 months. From the breakdown in the chain of command to the lack of support, to the tragedy of losing 13 Americans in a mass casualty event- even 2 years later, this event has captivated the hearts, minds and attention of of the American Public.
Finally, the Pararescue Team Senior Enlisted Leader, Sean, and Team Sergeant, Chris, are here to tell their story of exactly what happened in the lead up to the event, exactly what happened in the most unsure time in all of the Global War on Terror, and the days and weeks that followed.
In the end, 96 Distinguished Flying Crosses were awarded to the pilots, crew chiefs, loadmasters maintaners and support personnel for their support to Operation ALLIES REFUGE. However, the ground team- who were credited with the rescue and movement of tens of thousands of cvilians- recieved far less recognition.
At the time of this writing, the highest medal bestowed on the ground team is a Bronze Star with Valor, and only two of them. The struggle continues at the highest levels to recognize their sacrifices appropriately.
Thank you doesn't begin to encapsulate how appreciative the Ones Ready team is for Sean and Chris taking this time to highlight just how capable, relevant, valiant and professional the Air Force's Rescue Community is- but thank you is the best we can do, and we mean it sincerely.

Ep 195: Pararescueman, CMSgt (ret) Ivan Ruiz Part - Navigating Change Feb 28, 2023

Send us a text

We have had Pararescue Chief Master Sergeant (CMSgt) Ivan Ruiz on a couple times before- he's a close friend to all of us here at Ones Ready, and has always been an example of "how to do it the right way." Now, as Ivan is making his way into the next phase of his life, he sits down and reflects mid-stream about what all that means.
You heard his awesome advice in part one- but we had to split this one up into a special two-part series so Ivan could dig into some real talk for the next generation.
Huge thanks to Ivan for coming on and being real, he has an open invite and can come on whenever he wants. Let us know if you have questions for Ivan in the comments!

Send us a text

Before there was Air Force Special Tactics, there was Chief Master Sergeant retired Wayne Norrad. Chief Norrad started his career before the Air Force knew precisely what Combat Control was going to be and ended his career as the Second AFSOC Command Chief, and the accepted Godfather of what we know Special Tactics to be today.
Chief Norrad is the definition of the word "legend", which is why we asked him to come on and tell us his story; and we are pumped to bring you Part 2!!!
Huge thanks to Chief Norrad; we genuinely appreciate his impact on Combat Control and Air Force Special Tactics as a whole!

Ep 189: Ones Ready: Therapy Through Airing Grievances with Aaron and Peach Feb 03, 2023

Send us a text

The Ones Ready team tries to stay in the lane- we aren't reporters, we try and just provide the platform to promote like minded people, but we still have some opinions on things. Aaron and Peach went in on a couple topics below and talked about a wide range of things- this was another episode we have had in the completed folder for a while and just haven't had the space to put it out- until now.
From leadership and second chances and long rants from Aaron (standard, not fun) and Peaches (humble, approachable, credible), hopefully you all get something out of this one- we certainly did! Especially that Subway is your last resort for food on every military base and I am convinced that there are no Subways in the wild. Yeah I know there are, shut up.
Thanks for spending this time with us and we have a lot more content for you guys in the coming weeks and months. What else would you like to see? Drop it as if the temperature prevented you from holding it properly!

Ep 181: Combat Control MSgt (ret) Phil "PIMP" Freeman Dec 30, 2022

Send us a text

MSgt (ret) Phil "PIMP" Freeman had a historic career in Combat Control, and he was gracious enough to sit down with Chief Peaches and Trent and walk us through it. Phil was instrumental in the hunting of war criminals in Europe and his contributions to the Weapons School have been immeasurable.
From his experiences in the pipeline to his experience with the Fulton recovery system, to Desert Storm, his time overseas in Bosnia- just an unbelievably exciting story of his life in Air Force Special Tactics and how diverse it can be, no matter what the career field.
Thanks to PIMP for coming on and sharing his amazing history and showing us just how rich and varied our culture is- we can't wait to have him on again!

Ep 179: A-10 Pilot, Flying Cross Recipient Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell Dec 23, 2022

Send us a text

In April 2003 in Iraq, Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell flew a mission that defied logic and common sense. Responding to a call for help from a ground force about to be overrun, KC risked her own life to save them. The enemy always gets a vote, and then Captain Campbell's A-10 was almost shot down.
With no hydraulics, in a plane that shouldn't have been able to fly, KC did what only 2 or 3 other pilots have lived through- she flew her A-10 back to friendly control in manual reversion. For her actions that day, she was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Colonel Campbell was kind enough to talk about her amazing career- from becoming the first father/daughter Cadet Wing Commander pair at the United States Air Force Academy, to pilot training, to becoming an A-10 pilot, to her current passion project, the Special Operations Transition Foundation.
Her dedication to service continues to this day- and we can now add "Best Selling Author" to her list of remarkable accolades. Pre-order her first book, "Flying In The Face Of Fear- A Fighter Pilot's Lessons on Leading With Courage" on Amazon- https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Face-Fear-Fighter-Lessons/dp/1394152353 .
If you are a Special Operator getting ready to transition out of the service, check out SOTF.org for all the help you need for the next step in your journey.
We are truly honored to tell the story of Col Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell, and we appreciate her coming on. Hope you all enjoy!

Ep 178: Special Tactics Training Squadron Commander, Major Chris Walsh Dec 20, 2022

Send us a text

Special Tactics Training Squadron, or STTS, is one of the premier training squadrons in the entire Air Force. Every single Combat Controller and Special Reconnaissance Airman passes through the doors of STTS, and for a good reason- it's where ST performs it's final evaluations on all candidates before they hit their unit.
Maj Chris Walsh, a Special Tactics Officer, took over STTS after his stint trying out for the Olympic Bobsled team as part of the World Class Athlete Program and has worked hard to make the organization the crown jewel of the ST pipeline. He was kind enough to talk about all things STTS- where it's going, its challenges, and what he has in store for you at the end of your pipeline.
Huge thanks to Maj Walsh for coming on, and make sure to follow his IG @walsh.usa .
Hope you all enjoy this one and train hard!

The Rescue and ST communities need hitters of all types- and that's exactly what Special Mission Aviators, or SMA's, are. They are responsible for keeping the aircraft in the air, maintenance, and being an active crew member- and they have been known to save your ass on the ground with a .50 cal or a minigun.
TSgt Derrick "Snooki" Schwenk came on to talk all things aviation and being a special mission aviator- and we can't say thanks enough!!!

Ep 174: Ones Ready- Why PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)? Dec 06, 2022

Send us a text

Positive Mental Attitude, or PMA, is required gear for all training events and life. The Ones Ready team sits down this week (Peaches is actually standing) and talks through why we make it a point to try and be as positive as possible. Does it mean that everything in the Air Force Special Tactics world is great? Absolutely not.
But, if you're negative about everything, you only bring the team down. So we talk about all things PMA in this episode of the Ones Ready Podcast!
And yes, Aaron is sorry about his mic; it's the absolute worst. Just say something mean in the comments and go on about your day.
Hope you all enjoy this one and train hard!

This one- it’s the one. Special Reconnaissance Airmen are the very definition of ‘multi capable Airmen’ and what the organization is getting after in the next fight.

You want to know what it’s like *right now* in the pipeline? This one is for you!

Send us a text

You asked. And asked. And ASKED- so here you go. The Ones Ready team sits down and tries their best to answer the question we get more than any other question- "What is the day-to-day like in AFSPECWAR?"
Actually, we did you all one better- we looked at the day-to-day in every single phase of your pipeline. From the delayed entry program (DEP) to Basic Military Training (BMT), to the Special Warfare Candidate Course (SWCC), to Assessment and Selection (A&S), pre-dive, the pipeline- all the way through your first unit.
We would like to think that this is the one- the one podcast that deads the whole question- but we know better.

AFSOC Deployed Aircraft Ground Response Element (DAGRE) Airmen have one of the coolest missions you didn't know about. We got a ton of great feedback from our Defender brothers on the first one, so we brought on our Security Forces teammates for another deep dive.
From application to training pipeline, to the mission, ops tempo, and what comes next- we talk about it all.
There are a million ways to engage and do something bigger in the Air Force, and these gentlemen are always looking for the next thing, and we know you are too.

Ep 160: TACP MSgt Justin Perran in The Team Room! Oct 18, 2022

Send us a text

TACP MSgt Justin Perran had a lot that he wanted to get into on our last couple of TACP episodes- and by the looks of it, Aaron and Justin are looking for an apartment together after this.
This one covers a ton of ground- from TACP-specific training advice to advice about the military and Air Force in general and a ton of other topics that we get questions on.
Oh, and we heard you all like war stories/training stories. Well, there is a healthy dose of that as well.
Hope you all enjoy this one and train hard!

Send us a text

For us older guys, September 11 2001 is a date that is burned into memory. Even for those that didn't necessarily remember it or live through it, that date has done a lot to shape millions of young men and women in this country through military service.
Trent and Aaron talk about different cultures, shifting times, uncertainty in the military, and a lot more.
Thanks for allowing us to work through these experiences with you, the next generation of AFSPECWAR operators and Air Force Airmen.

The term legend gets thrown out a lot these days, but Chief Lampe really embodies what a legend is and you'll understand as soon as you see his resume and hear some of his stories. Even SOCOM recognized him as a legend after retirement by presenting him with the Bull Simmons Award. Chief conducted unconventional warefare and irregular warfare operations starting back in Vietnam and continued to pave the way for SOCOM to be what it is today. Ones Ready, Special Tactics, AFSOC, nor SOCOM would be what it is today with out Chief Lampe.

Send us a text

On this episode of the Ones Ready podcast we sit down with two Air Force Special Operations Command Deployed Aircraft Ground Response Element (DAGRE) Airmen, Jordan and Lance.

You'll see some real learning going on as Peaches literally had no clue into the details of a DAGRE...typical "leadership" right there. The podcast is a way for us to give back, serve each one of you, and build our community up with the most educated and well-train members. Please enjoy the episode and give us your feedback.

NEVER ask Ones Ready THESE QUESTIONS Again! Dec 04, 2021

Send us a text

On this episode of the Ones Ready podcast Aaron and Trent are fed up and go on a rant. Please understand this, we get hundreds of DMs, comments, and emails a week. Many of them are success stories, personal stories of failure, and some legitimate questions that we have not address in the show. Other messages we get though could easily be answered with a little bit of effort. That's where the frustration comes from. We wouldn't exist without you and in reality doing this and helping you out is why we started Ones Ready, but as aspiring AFSW, you also need to be able to put in a little work yourself and do some research. That's all we're getting at here. The podcast is a way for us to give back, serve each one of you, and build our community up with the most educated and well-train members.

Retired Combat Controller and Author Dan Schilling Oct 30, 2021

Send us a text

On this episode of the Ones Ready podcast we sit down with the man, the myth, the legend retired Combat Controller and renowned author Dan Schilling. Dan spent 30 years as a USAF Combat Controller with time in combat operations all over the world like Operation Gothic Serpent in Somalia. After retirement he continued to do bad ass things, one of which is write a little book you may have heard of called Alone At Dawn about the operation in Afghanistan where MSgt John Chapman was killed in action. Funny enough we don't talk much about either of these topics, but rather we picked his brain about a whole bunch of things. So sit back and enjoy the ride! Please enjoy the episode and give us your feedback. If you liked it and feel so inclined, please leave us a review. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know, and thank you for your support!

Work Ethic in AF Specwar Nov 14, 2020

Send us a text

On this week’s episode of the Ones Ready podcast we discuss different work ethics each of us have and what drives each of us everyday. It's all about out working people.

These aspects translate to taking care of team gear and team priorities before your own personal needs. Time management is critical in being successful for this when you have to go through things like Airman Leadership School, NCO Academy, SNCO Academy, PA school, family, training, or whatever you have going on in life.

TBI, PTSD, & Mental Resilience in AFSPECWAR with Dr. Kate Pate Aug 15, 2020

Dr. Pate is Neuroscientist, Combat Trauma Medical Researcher, CEO and co-founder of Coruna Medical, and overall badass person. Dr. Pate and the team cover a wide range of topics from general mental health to what people with TBIs deal with, and even suicide.

USAF Special Warfare: Misconceptions Aug 08, 2020

Send us a text

In the team room this week on the Ones Ready podcast the guys discuss some of the misconceptions they had prior to joining as well as some misconceptions that come from questions about AFSPECWAR. Most people think that every day SOF is out kicking in doors, jumping from planes, riding dirt bikes, and blowing shit up! Although these things happen often, they are not happening every day. There are days where required military training has to occur or medical appointments. In order to train effectively, the training must be planned well to figure out the logistics required to accomplish said training. This training can't be planned well when all you're doing is cool guy shit! Please enjoy the episode and give us your feedback. If you liked it and feel so inclined, please leave us a review. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know, and thank you for your support!

TACPs Explain Pros and Cons of the Air National Guard Apr 18, 2020

Send us a text

On this week's episode of the Ones Ready podcast, we sit down with Ben and Cody who are Air National Guard TACPs and discuss what some of the differences are between USAF Active Duty and Air National Guard. We go into detail about the transition from Active Duty to Air National Guard, how someone can go straight into the Guard if desired, and what daily life is like as a Guard member. Though this is focused on TACPs, much of the Air National Guard nuances translate directly over to the Guard Special Tactics Squadrons. Each until in the Air National Guard handles their recruitment process differently in both the Special Tactics Squadron and Air Support Operations Squadron realms.

Failure at Special Warfare Selection Apr 11, 2020

Send us a text

On this week's episode of the Ones Ready podcast, we talk about what failing means to us. We have all failed in the past and really continue to fail on a daily basis (just being real with you). We'll discuss what we mean by failing forward, failing fast and how to deal with some failures in your life. We also talk about some of our personal failures and talk about how focusing on your failures could cause you to fail over and over. Funny enough we also discuss how one of our teammates from our time in the UK failed by jumping, focusing on a cow, hitting said cow, having said cow poop on him, and then being dragged through more poop. It's a good little story! Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!

Both require some serious grit and intestinal fortitude that is second to none. We discuss the 80%/20% rule while in the pipeline and how much we love this community of ours.

Everyone is going to want to buckle up for this rollercoaster of an episode where the Ones Ready team and “OB” discuss how the Thai Cave Rescue transpired.

There are some real nailbiters in this episode and you can see it in the faces of the Ones Ready team as OB explains what happened. Everyone involved in this rescue did an outstanding job and is the reason that soccer team is alive today. This type of high-level problem solving is exactly what Special Warfare is looking for and if this is the type of person you are, then you need to join us!

Unconventional Surgery, USAF SOST Mar 07, 2020

Send us a text

The U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command has a unique set of skills. Skills that make saving lives easy for someone like them. They're called the Special Tactics Special Operations Surgical Team or SOST for short. The Ones Ready team spoke to two of these SOST pipe hitters about what it takes to be SOST and the type of person they're looking for. Their ability and willingness to push to forward locations with SOF teams make them uniquely qualified to save lives in less than perfect situations. SOST also shoot, move, and communicate as part of the SOF core skillset that has come to be expected of every SOF element in the inventory. A solid section of questions from Ones Ready followers with answers to your questions. Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!

How To Become The Optimal SW Candidate Feb 29, 2020

Send us a text

The Ones Ready team is going to dive into some of the more common questions we get to help you out! Some of these questions include "should I go to college first and then join?" or "what sports should I be doing in high school to help me prepare?" and many more. You are not the only one with these questions and we recognize that! This is why we made this episode specifically because everyone's situation is different and it's possible that the best way to prepare for entering the pipeline is not how you expect it to be. We recommend you live your life and enjoy yourself. Shockingly Aaron suggests you go get into some "low-level trouble"!!! What's that all about? Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!

Officer and Enlisted Relationship Feb 22, 2020

Send us a text

On this episode, the Ones Ready team will discuss some of the differences between officers and enlisted within Special Warfare. We’ll discuss how we see the roles of an officer and an enlisted member differ when thinking about who is “in charge” and who is “in command” because there is a difference. Some of the good characteristics of officers will be covered as well as some of the less desirable traits. More importantly though, we discuss how an officer and enlisted member should conduct business with each other and how they can be successful while in A&S, the pipeline, on team, or even as a command leadership team. Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!

USAF SOF TACP Questions Answered! Feb 14, 2020

Send us a text

Every once in a while living legends will step in your life and function at such a high-level that they unwillingly embarrass you. Roomba is that person in the TACP career field. Roomba started off as a conventional TACP working large maneuvering Army Armor (tanks) units. Building on his foundations he wanted more, so he went to Airborne School to increase his abilities. Even that wasn't enough for Roomba, so he applied and was selected to attend the United States Air Force Weapons School which is an enormous accomplishment. After graduating he went back to his unit and led his people to successful engagements in deployed locations until he again decided that he wanted more. That's when he transitioned to SOF and is living his best life. We enjoyed having Roomba on the podcast and look forward to having him on again.

1 Year & 1 Outstanding PJ Feb 07, 2020

Send us a text

What a year Pararescueman TSgt Kenneth "OB" O'Brien has had! First he was part of the Thai Cave rescue operations, treated a Korean after a tractor fire, was part of President Trump's medical protection detail, saved an infant on his flight on the way to be named United States Air Force 12 Outstanding Airmen Of The Year! All of this happened in a span of a year, while most people wait their entire career for these opportunities. OB is an absolute stud, but he comes with baggage. He is affectionately referred to by his teammates as a "Black Cloud", but he prefers to be considered a "Gray Cloud" because not everything that happens around him turns out bad! Enjoy getting to know OB as we have and we look forward to having him on the podcast again.

Becoming an Airman Jan 31, 2020

Send us a text

Transitioning from a civilian to an Airman can be an interesting experience, to say the least. Learning to make your bed, fold your shirts, dress, and shower how the Air Force wants you to all while saying "why the hell am I doing it this way"?!. The Ones Ready team will discuss their personal experiences all while discussing the hilarity of the transition and what they learned when they entered. This one also got a little deeper than we initially expected and which could give you some insight into what Special Warfare and the Air Force, in general, is like. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but you're probably be saying WTF even more so!

Moving Towards Obstacles Jan 17, 2020

Send us a text

Every human has obstacles in their life that will get between them and their intended goal. Some of these obstacles are internal obstacles like fear of heights or even your current fitness level. Other obstacles could be external which could be family, friends, or coworkers questioning if you can make it. Other external obstacles could be difficulties finding a pool to train in. Obstacles large and small exist for everyone, but we cannot ignore those obstacles. We have to move towards these obstacles and attack them intensely in order to make it to our intended goals. It may not be easy to crush this obstacles, but we know it will be worth it in the end. Finding the journey through these obstacles will help us to build great character traits that will serve us throughout life!
