Trent flies solo and absolutely lights the mic on fire in this unfiltered reality check for every would-be warfighter wondering if they’re cut out for the pipeline. Spoiler alert: you’re probably not. From “weak genetics” and mommy issues to delusional love stories about the girl back home, Trent serves up a hot plate of hard truths with his signature sarcasm, hotel water, and allergic sneezing fits. If you’ve ever asked, “Do I have what it takes?”—this is the slap in the face you needed.

He hits everything:
 • Civilian comfort addiction 🛋️
 • Crippling overthinking 🤯
 • Emotional fragility 🥲
 • The cadre who definitely hate you (and themselves)
• And yes, your absolutely trash haircut 💇‍♂️

This isn't a pep talk. It’s an audit. And you better hope you pass.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Civilian life is too comfortable—and it’s making you soft.
• If you don’t have a why, you better know that you don’t need one.
• “Weak genetics” is just cadre-speak for “we’re not buying your excuses.”
• Emotional control > Feelings. Words don’t matter. Performance does.
• Don’t plan for the whole pipeline—just take one miserable step at a time.
• The girl back home? She’s cheating. Move on.
• You’re a weak little bitch with bad hair. Fix yourself or quit.

00:00 – Trent’s solo rant begins (yes, he’s alone, yes, it’s glorious)

Most people see an injury at BUD/S as the end of the road. For Chris from Project Linear, it was just the beginning. After making it through Hell Week and Phase 2, a brutal injury cut his journey short only seven weeks before graduation—but instead of letting that define him, he turned the experience into fuel.

Today, Chris leads Project Linear, a tactical gear company built on the same standard of excellence he carried into the Navy pipeline. No gimmicks. No influencers. Just authentic gear trusted by the operators who actually use it.

The Ones Ready crew pull Chris into the team room to unpack how injury, humility, and obsession forged a brand that’s raising the bar for the tactical community. From breaking up bar fights in San Diego to designing gear for SEALs and SWAT teams, Chris proves that getting knocked down doesn’t mean you’re done—it means you’re being forged.

If you’re chasing greatness, recovering from setbacks, or building something that matters—this one’s for you.

Peaches is back in the Ones Ready Team Room with another no-BS drop that’ll make the Pentagon sweat. From the government shutdown that’s starving paychecks to the beefy boys rolling off bread trucks in Chicago, this episode rips through every headline the brass wishes you’d ignore. Peaches calls out the “financially illiterate” lifestyle of troops living beyond their means, laughs at the Army Corps’ endless postponements, and lights up DoD’s hilariously outdated cybersecurity systems.

 Then it’s on to the Marines flexing “maritime domain awareness” for an attaboy, the Air Force’s missileer cancer scare, and the Space Force trying to sound cool with “hypersonic challenges.” Oh—and the Coast Guard Cutter Midgett (yes, really) returns from busting drug runners like it’s the sequel to Narcos.
Top it off with Peaches’ unfiltered rant on false IG complaints, whistleblowers, and accountability. The episode ends with updates on the sold-out Nashville Operator Training Summit and a sneak peek at the next Vegas OTS—because rest is for civilians.

If you thought retirement would mellow them out, you clearly haven’t met Peaches, Trent, or Aaron.

In this week’s blisteringly honest episode, all three come in hot. We’re talking about the mental minefield of getting out, the physical wreckage of a Special Warfare career, and the professional purgatory of trying to give a damn after years of institutional gaslighting. Peaches is post-retirement and post-patience. Trent’s back from the void. Aaron is basically caffeine, rage, and a mic.

Together, they break down:

• The lies you’re sold during transition
• Why “support” feels performative
• What finding purpose really takes
• And why the Air Force still can’t meme

This episode is raw, sarcastic, and soaked in the kind of wisdom you only earn through combat, kids, and government paperwork hell. It's not for the fragile—but it might just save your sanity.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 🎤 “They don’t want the truth. They want a brochure.” – Peaches, spitting facts
• 🧠 VA ratings don’t fix identity loss. They just give you more forms to hate.
• 👨‍👧 Special Warfare dads have zero chill... and somehow, all the guilt.
• 💡 Transition isn’t a moment—it’s a minefield. With paperwork.
• 📉 The Air Force still believes PowerPoint fixes trauma.
• 🧱 “Don’t rebuild your life on what broke you.” Full send.
• 🔥 Peaches drops war-hardened insight like it’s close air support.
• 🪦 Retirement is just active duty with more pain and fewer lies.

The Ones Ready Team Room is back and Peaches isn’t pulling punches. From the DoD’s latest Inspector General “reforms” (translation: no more hiding behind fake complaints) to the U.S. getting embarrassed in the Arctic—this one’s got everything: cartel strikes, gender-standard meltdowns, government shutdown chaos, and a little unsolicited love for Aussie warfighters.

Peaches dives headfirst into the week’s wildest military moves, from Trump’s National Guard orders to the Pentagon’s plan to polygraph everyone short of the janitor. He also breaks down why the Coast Guard has three icebreakers while Russia flexes forty-one, why “equal standards” means stop crying about pull-ups, and how false accusations destroy careers faster than TikTok destroys attention spans.

It’s brash. It’s brutally honest. And it’s the only sitrep you’ll actually enjoy listening to. Buckle up, buttercups—this ain’t your dad’s Air Force brief.

Another week, another Green Beret schooling us on life. Dean Goble didn’t just crush 20 years in Army Special Forces—he turned retirement into running the Special Forces Foundation and steering Black Rifle Coffee’s philanthropy like a caffeinated warlord.

Aaron takes the mic solo and unloads on pipeline myths, training excuses, and bad packet habits. Forget the rumor mill—he explains why the Air Force keeps tweaking Special Warfare selection, why “pipeline optimization” isn’t a conspiracy, and why faster runners are always the ones who graduate. He drags combat controllers over pistol skills, laughs about swim cap questions, and gives the blunt truth: stop wasting time and train specifically for what actually matters. It’s snarky, savage, and brutally useful—classic Aaron, unfiltered.

The Ones Ready crew dives headfirst into the chaos of a government shutdown. Peaches breaks down why jets are still flying even though half the civilians got furloughed, why dropping bombs is suddenly off-limits, and how “minimal manning” really means “maximum chaos.” From Air Force talent marketplace changes to the Space Force scrambling for capability gaps, Marines swapping out recruiting commanders, the Coast Guard dropping multi-tons of blow in Florida, and the Secretary of Defense tightening the screws on military culture—this daily drop pulls no punches. Oh, and POTUS showed up at Quantico to preach discipline like your dad after catching you with a bad haircut. Buckle up, it’s another day in the Ops Brief circus.
