On this episode of the Ones Ready podcast, the team sits down to discuss some of the less desirable things about the job. That's right, this job isn't perfect and it doesn't come without it's own baggage. These less than desirable things aren't the end of the world, in fact it was tough to come up with a list of things that didn't sound like complaining. We try to keep full transparency with all of you, so here it is. We go through some things that we just don't like about the job.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode of the Ones Ready podcast, the team sits down with current CMSgt Mike "CRAPs" Macias. Chief Macias is an active duty TACP who has time as a conventional TACP, but more time as a SOF TACP. He graduated the USAF Weapons School, instructed at the USAF Weapons School, and now works at Headquarters Air Force working on the future of the TACP career field. Chief Macias specifically works on 8-20 year plans for TACP, so much of what he's doing is in concept, but directed towards near peer strategic conflict.
