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

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

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!
