Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! This week, Trent sits down with the beard-wielding, strength-slinging savant, Coach Jimmy of Modern Athlete Strength Systems (MASS)—because apparently we still need to explain why doing curls and skipping cardio won’t cut it in Special Warfare.

Jimmy drops 20+ years of strength & conditioning wisdom (and shade) on everything from why 30-day programs are garbage, to how being “jacked and useless” is an actual epidemic. They dig into MASS’s 90-Day Unchained program, the myth of muscle without function, and how neck strength might just save your career and your spine. Oh, and Trent confesses to avoiding deadlifts for half his career—so, there’s that.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 “Neck and Traps are the New Abs” – Team Yoke is real. Stop skipping your carries.
 💥 30-Day Programs Are Trash – You’re not a new person in a month. You’re just sore and confused.
 💥 Relative > Absolute Strength – Cool, you bench 405. Can you move your own body weight?
 💥 Pull-Ups Are King – If you can’t pull your own body up, you’re not a tactical asset—you’re cargo.
 💥 Your Workout Shouldn’t Kill You – You’re training to last, not collapse in a puddle.
 💥 Zone 2 Is the Hill to Die On – Boring? Yes. Effective? Also yes.
 💥 Start Early, Lift Forever – Barbell doesn’t care how old you are. It only cares if you show up.
 💥 Train Like Your Kids Are Watching – If you can’t play with them, what’s the point?
 💥 Don’t Be That Cop Complaining About Body Armor – Train your neck and act like a professional.
 💥 Buy In or Fall Off – You don’t need more time. You need structure and discipline.

In this episode of Ones Ready, Peaches sits down with Susan and Korey, two legendary instructors teaching Air Traffic Control at Combat Control School—yes, actual ATC, not the “wave your arms at planes” nonsense people assume CCTs do.

Susie’s a Gulf War vet with a PhD in aviation (no big deal), and Korey is a former Ranger, CCT, and 7-knee-surgery survivor turned 24-year ATC workhorse. Together, they break down why ATC is the mental crucible of the pipeline, why simulators never quite capture the chaos of real-world ops, and how holding 3D-printed planes while yelling “LEFT BASE!” actually trains America’s most elite Combat Controllers.

You’ll get behind-the-scenes stories, evolution of ATC in the pipeline, what “simulator rage” looks like, and yes—why helicopters are still the combat controller’s kryptonite.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 Combat Controller ATC Is No Joke – It’s not watered down. It’s not fluff. It’s the same curriculum—and then some.
 💥 Mental Muscle Over Physical Strength – You can’t ruck your way through a clearance delivery screw-up.
 💥 Sim Rage Is Real – Students will break before phraseology does.
 💥 Helicopters Still Suck – Their flight profiles make combat controllers cry.
 💥 Real Pilots, Real Pressure – Students now get live aircraft reps post-graduation.
 💥 Forget Pre-Studying – Come in humble. We'll train you right.
 💥 Zero Washouts in 3.5 Years – When you want to be there, you make it work.
 💥 3D-Printed Aircraft > Million-Dollar Sims – Sometimes the old ways still slap.
 💥 ATC Is Written in Blood – The rules aren’t optional. They’re survival.
 💥 “Average Ranger” Energy – Just keep showing up and pushing forward. That’s the win.

📢 Call-to-Actions:

✅ Like this episode if you’ve ever yelled at a model airplane during training.
 💬 Drop a comment with your worst sim meltdown moment.
 ⭐ Leave a review—especially if you finally understand why helicopters make controllers twitch.

In this absolute rollercoaster of an episode, CRO #8 Jonathan Harmon returns to finish what he started. The man has survived boat ramps, raging seas, rogue helicopters, and his own dumb decisions—so you know he’s qualified to roast himself and everyone else in the process.

We go deep on:

• Nearly dying multiple times (on purpose),
• Hazing that would make HR explode,
• Buddy-breathing with the Devil,
• And how to fail upward into leadership.

Oh—and if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you haze your students too hard, don't worry: karma's real and it faceplants hard.

💥 Hazing Builds Brotherhood – Until it doesn’t. Then it just builds stories.
 💥 Sharks are Real. So is Karma. – Especially when you're dangling like a glow stick.
 💥 “We Forgot the PJs” – Actual quote from the cockpit. Crew coordination: 0/10.
 💥 You’re Gonna Be That Guy – The one with the pen flare. Accept it.
 💥 Indoc Doesn't Leave You – 1,258 8-counts later, you still remember.
 💥 Leadership is Earned, Not Bestowed – Bonus points if you’re bleeding on a boat deck you designed.
 💥 You Can’t Outrun the Ocean – But you can out-swim your student… barely.
 💥 Faith Over Fear – When the motto becomes a burden, your soul better be armored.
 💥 If You’re Still Smug About Being Jacked – You probably suffer from ILS (Invisible Lat Syndrome).
 💥 Don’t Join for Clout – Join because “that others may live” actually means something to you.

✅ Like, subscribe, and comment if you’ve ever been left behind in open ocean (or just felt like it).
 ⭐ Leave a review—yes, even if it’s to tell us we should stop bullying people with pen flares.

Welcome to the most line-stepping, career-defying, rule-dodging episode in Ones Ready history. We’re joined by none other than Jonathan Harmon—PJ-turned-CRO, Red Wings rescue mastermind, tactical genius, and part-time aircraft hijacker (allegedly).

From failing swim tests and skydiving with squirrels in Florida, to running the Combined Air Operations Center during Operation Red Wings, Harmon proves one thing: you don’t need a six-pack or clearance to change the entire course of a war—you just need audacity and a spreadsheet.

We’re talking real-deal combat rescue, bootstrapping squadrons from zero gear, calling out toxic “quiet professional” culture, and the exact moment where someone looked him in the eye and said: “You’re not Adonis. Get out of my team room.”

Strap in. This is not a SEAL movie. It’s the story of the actual dudes who saved lives, built the system, and then had to figure out how to buy drywall to build their own squadron walls.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 "Quiet Professional" ≠ Silent Professional – Your silence isn't noble. It's just unhelpful.
💥 Built Different (Literally) – The man built a squadron from a paint bucket and a dream.
💥 Red Wings – Harmon saw the blip, did the math, got ignored... then changed the op.
 💥 Hijacked a C-17 – “Not arrested—detained.” Sure, bro.
💥 Enlisted First, Officer Second – Pro tip: know the job before you try leading it.
💥 PJ Team Room Energy – Flannel. Divorce. Granola. Tattoos.
💥 From Tactical to Strategic – A PJ saves a life. A Crow changes the game.
💥 Respect Is Earned – Even in jammies, Marcus Luttrell got nearly drawn down on.
💥 We ARE the Old Guys Now – So start talking before your story dies with you.

✅ Like this episode if drywall and duct tape built your first team room.
 💬 Comment if you’ve ever stepped over the line… and stayed there.
 ⭐ Leave a review, even if it’s just to ask why we haven’t made a movie about this yet.

It’s April 4th, and Peaches is bringing you the news that makes commanders panic and E-4s roll their eyes.

Today’s drop hits everything from AFRICOM possibly getting stuffed back under EUCOM (because geography isn’t real), to a $2 billion gunship that looks like it flew straight out of Planes (2013).

Meanwhile, the Air Force is grounding pregnant aircrew, the Space Force is begging for a bigger allowance, and a fired general’s name is blasted across the DoD like a bad Yelp review. Add in NATO drama, orbital warfare threats, and a bunch of space startups flexing on legacy contractors—and you've got yourself a fully loaded episode of “what the hell are we doing?”

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 AFRICOM + EUCOM Merger? – 50 countries and one Chinese base next door say “probably not.”
💥 $2B Sky Raider Debuts – AFSOC’s new toy looks like Dusty with guns. Let’s hope it delivers.
💥 Intel Colonels Critiquing Combat Fitness – Ma’am, this isn’t your lane.
💥 Pregnant Pilots Grounded in First Trimester – No ejection seats for you.
💥 Space Force Says China Is Cooking Orbital Violence – Saltzman’s begging for backup.
💥 General Fired, PA Blasts It to the World – Totally necessary, right?
💥 100+ Civilians Could Be Axed at the Academy – Uniforms good, but continuity matters.
💥 NATO Needs to Pay Up – Rubio wants 5% GDP.
💥 Germany Has 47 U.S. Bases – Casual.
💥 Small Space Companies Are Eating Everyone’s Lunch – Welcome to capitalism in orbit.
💥 Nuclear-Powered AI Farms Are Coming – Because your data center’s air conditioning sucks.

📢 Call-to-Actions:

✅ Like this episode if your tax dollars funded a cartoon-looking gunship.
 💬 Comment if your Space Force budget could use more than 3% of anything.
 ⭐ Leave a review—unless you're one of the people still emailing strike targets over Signal.
 🛒 Cop fresh restocks at OnesReady.com and support the crew.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where your BS gets exposed faster than a fake pipeline story at selection. In this banger of an episode, Aaron, Trent, and recurring badass John Mollura (former NASA engineer turned keynote speaker) dissect the real reason you keep procrastinating—and spoiler alert—it’s not your schedule.

Turns out, your “time management problem” is actually a fear problem. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being average in front of other people. If you’re stuck in the cycle of “I’ll start tomorrow,” congrats—you’re not lazy, you’re just lying to yourself with a rocking chair full of excuses.

So pour that coffee, put down TikTok, and get ready to be called out—lovingly, of course.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 Fear is the Root of Everything – Procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking? All symptoms of the same disease: fear.
💥 Stop Breaking Promises to Yourself – You show up for everyone but you. That’s why your confidence is garbage.
💥 Your Job Isn’t Your Identity – Being a “special ops guy” or “NASA nerd” isn’t who you are. It’s just what you did.
💥 Success ≠ Perfection – Skipped your 2-hour workout? Cool. 30 minutes still beats zero.
💥 Ask Better Questions – Stop asking “why do I suck?” and start asking “how do I move forward?”
💥 Self-Coaching is the Goal – No one’s coming to save you. You either do the hard work or you keep spinning in the excuse carousel.
💥 Therapy vs. Coaching – Therapy digs into the past. Coaching gives you tools to crush the future.

📢 Call-to-Actions:

✅ Like this episode if it punched you in the soul (in a good way).
 ✅ Subscribe if you’re tired of lying to yourself.
 💬 Drop a comment telling us what you’re going to stop procrastinating.

It’s April 3rd and Peaches is back with a fresh pile of Air Force, Space Force, and “what are we even doing anymore?” news.

From commanders whining about drone threats and bureaucrats pushing Zero Trust Architecture™ (whatever that means), to Ukraine intel shifts, grounded pregnant pilots, and six B-2 bombers pulling up to the Red Sea like it’s a boss level—this Daily Drop has it all.

Oh, and in case you missed it: the DoD is still trying to lay off people with pay, we’re throwing F-35s into the Middle East blender, and China is officially the “leaked” top threat—because apparently someone needed that in writing.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 Electronic Warfare = Neglected Stepchild – 20 years of sandbox ops will do that.
💥 Ukraine Intel Sharing Pullback – But let’s be honest: we’re already there.
💥 Drone Defenses Within 24 Hours – ...but why wait 24 hours?
💥 Hiring Freeze Round 2 – “Paid to Quit” is now a policy.
💥 Zero Trust Architecture? – Sounds made up. Probably is.
💥 CENTCOM B-2 Flex – When in doubt, bomb it out.
💥 Pregnant Pilots Grounded – First trimester flyers, take a seat.
💥 AI Dogfighting F-16s at Eglin – Skynet: confirmed.
💥 KC-46 > KC-135 – Topeka's about to get a glow-up.
💥 Space Force Loves the Little Guys – Stoke & Rocket Lab get the call-up.
💥 AFWERX Tracks Sketchy Spacecraft – Satellites be sneakin’.
💥 China = Top Threat (Leaked Memo, Shocker) – In other news: water is wet.
💥 Budget Games Are Killing Readiness – Peaches says shut it down and start over.

📢 Call-to-Actions:

✅ Like this episode if you're tired of hearing "continuing resolution" like it’s a normal thing.
 💬 Comment if you've ever worked a job where “Paid to Resign” wasn’t even an option.

On this episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, Peaches dives into the swirling madness of global defense headlines and calls out the bureaucratic circus behind the scenes.

From satellite refueling ops and simulated dogfights in space, to fentanyl diplomacy and generals crying over spectrum auctions, it’s all here. Plus, the Air Force is giving away F-15s and leaving Indo-PACOM hanging until 2026. Oh, and U.S. government officials are still using Gmail for “sensitive” talks. What year is it?

Meanwhile, Canada is mad about F-35s, the Philippines just got a $5.6B fighter jet hookup, and some dudes in Congress want to go full cartel-hunting mode with airstrikes.

Just another Tuesday. Buckle up.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 Raisin Kane Ain’t Scared – MAGA hat or not, the man has a plan (and it’s not dumb).
💥 Gmail Is Totally Secure... Right? – U.S. officials emailing state secrets like it’s 2008.
💥 Fentanyl Is a WMD Now – Van Orden asks why we’re not droning narcos.
💥 Space Dogfights Are Coming – China is prepping for orbital combat and so are we.
💥 Satellite Refueling is a Thing – Shoutout to Northrop Grumman for being useful.
💥 F-15s Out, F-15EX In… Eventually – Kadena's empty. Whoops.
💥 Joint Simulation Needs SOF – Peaches goes off on outdated training systems.
💥 Canada Mad About Tariffs AND Jets – Welcome to the club.
💥 Tyndall Rebuild = 165 MPH Buildings – Why not just move? Bureaucracy.
💥 Philippines Gets a $5.6B Firepower Upgrade – Finally, a Pacific partner pulling weight.

Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where sarcasm is a love language and tough love is free. In this episode, Aaron, Trent, and Peaches go full scorched earth on the real MVPs of military recruiting… overbearing parents. You know the type—rolling into recruiter offices like it’s a job interview at Deloitte, trying to “negotiate” their precious child’s dream career in the Air Force.

If you think your 18-year-old can’t speak to another adult without backup, this one’s for you. We’re talking about enabling, entitlement, and how the “helicopter generation” is raising drones that can’t function without WiFi, Starbucks orders, or their mom in the waiting room.

Also covered: fighting pro MMA fighters at bars, roasting fake gangsters, and figuring out if Tupac was actually a theater kid. Yes, really.

💥 Recruiters aren’t lying to you – Your ASVAB score just sucks.
💥 Your kid isn’t special – If he needs you to talk to the recruiter for him, maybe basic training isn’t the move.
💥 Parents are the Problem – The real generational curse? Moms negotiating AFSCs like it’s a mortgage.
💥 Prepare the Kid, Not the Road – Life is hard. That’s the point.
💥 Recruiting ≠ Head Hunting – You’re not getting drafted into the NFL. Chill.
💥 Stop Blaming the Military – Maybe your kid just isn’t cut out for it.
💥 British Ninja Sword Bans? – We go global with this one. Seriously.
💥 Tim Kennedy Would Destroy You – And he wouldn’t even spill his coffee.

✅ Like if you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a Facebook parenting group.

It’s April 1st, and no—this isn’t an April Fools joke. Peaches is back behind the mic for the Ones Ready Daily Drop, breaking down your Air Force and Space Force headlines with the perfect mix of sarcasm, salt, and a little bit of “are we really doing this?”

We’ve got the Space Force talking satellite refuels, the Pentagon trying (again) to make combat standards gender-neutral, and junior enlisted finally getting a raise worth talking about.

Also: a new biblical Joint Chiefs nominee, the F-47 getting ghosted from the budget, and one more T-38 almost going full kamikaze over DC. Buckle up.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 E-4 Mafia Gets a Raise – 14.5% for junior enlisted. Finally, some respect.
 💥 Transgender in the Military? – 300+ Academy grads say yes. Peaches… doesn’t.
 💥 T-38: Death Trap of the Skies – Another day, another near-miss.
 💥 F-47 Budget Axe – The AF Secretary just hit it with a “not this year, fam.”
 💥 Space Force Playing the Long Game – Satellite refuels & orbital carriers are in.
 💥 Gender-Neutral Combat Standards – About time. The battlefield doesn’t care what’s in your pants.
 💥 Signal Chat Scandal? – The White House said “case closed.” Peaches said “we’ll see.”
 💥 Pay Raises > Recruiting Gimmicks – Retention’s the fight now.
 💥 Infrastructure is Falling Apart – Cybersecurity + potholes = our national brand.
 💥 Biblical Joint Chiefs Energy – Raisin Kane is about to make it rain.

📢 Call-to-Actions:

✅ Like this episode if you’ve ever survived a T-38 flyover with your sanity intact.
