On this week’s episode of the Ones Ready podcast we sit down with RJ Casey who is basically like the guy you only read about...an all American hero. RJ has a resume that would make Arnold jealous! After attending the New Mexico Military Institute he commissioned into the Army as an 11A, then went to Ranger school and the Special Forces Selection Course to become an 18A. RJ wanted to get his hands dirty even more so he resigned his commission as an officer and became an enlisted 18D. Somewhere in here he also went to PA school after being an 18D to where he was deployed in the early days of Iraq. He left Iraq and spent 10 days chilling and relaxing before then going through INDOC as an E-7. RJ then became a PJ to where he missed the officer side of the house and decided to go CRO. Now as a CRO he is assigned to the Cocoa Beach PJ team, helps with the NASA Space mission, and advises on movies in the US and overseas. Please enjoy the episode and give us your feedback.

Work Ethic in AF Specwar Nov 14, 2020

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

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. Having talent is great, but we all would prefer someone who is less talented with an incredible work ethic versus someone who is talented, but doesn't put in the effort. 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. 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!
