Trent flies solo and absolutely nukes the pity party over the Air Force adding a gasp two-mile run. If you’re one of the Facebook warriors crying about extra laps, this one’s for you. He breaks down exactly why being fit isn’t just a box to check—it’s the damn point. From waistband inflation to PT test trauma, this episode drags every excuse into the sunlight and torches it. Spoiler: you're not a victim, you're just out of breath.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • If your uniform is screaming, that’s not “mission ready.”
  • Being in shape helps your mood, sleep, brain, career… basically everything.
  • “I don’t have time” is just Air Force for “I’m lazy.”
  • PT tests aren’t the problem—you are.
  • Fitness isn’t punishment, it’s freedom.
  • Stop crying on Facebook and go for a damn run.
