This episode breaks down one of the most overlooked attributes in Air Force Special Warfare: communication. Aaron explains why communication isn’t volume or confidence theater—it’s message quality, delivery, and active listening, especially when things are chaotic. From JTAC briefs and patient handovers to team problem-solving under fatigue, this is a practical guide to communicating clearly when it actually matters. If you think you’ll “figure it out” at selection, you’re wrong. Communication is trainable—but only if you start now.
