The Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC) is a highly respected military position and rank in the US Department of Defense. The SEAC is the most senior enlisted service member by position in the US Armed Forces. They are appointed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) to advise on joint and combined total force integration, utilization, and health of the force. Additionally, they serve as a spokesperson on issues affecting all enlisted personnel. The SEAC may have varying duties as determined by the Chairman, but typically spends a lot of time traveling throughout the Department of Defense, observing education and training, and communicating with the total force, including active and reserve members, veterans, retirees, and military families. The SEAC's term of service is usually 2 years and coincides with the Chairman's tenure, with the possibility of reappointment.

SEAC and Pararescue Legend Ramon Colon-Lopez is the first Airman to hold that position, as the 4th SEAC, and a leader without equal. 

Huge thank you to SEAC CZ for taking the time to sit down with Peaches and Aaron on this edition of the Ones Ready Podcast!

Scott Zastrow was an important part of one of the most important Special Forces Teams that ever was- the Triple Nickel, or ODA 555. The things they did were so legendary that they made a movie about it. 

As part of the first Special Forces team that responded to the September 11th, 2001 attacks, Scott was part of one of the most amazing stories to ever come out of the Global War on Terror.

Jay Dorleus was an Active Duty Green Beret who had 20 years of experience in the military. Of those 20 years, 14 were spent in SOF as a Green Beret as an Engineer Sergeant, better known as an 18 Charlie. Jay has learned a lot from his multiple combat deployments and wanted to find a way to help prospective Special Forces Soldiers succeed at selection, in the pipeline, and beyond.

Obviously, we saw a lot of parallels with Jay, so Peaches sat down and talked through all their shared experiences to help you be successful.

Huge thank you to Jay for all his work and willingness to help out the next generation. Make sure to check out his Instagram at Green_Beret_Chronicles and his YouTube channel listed below in the chapter markers.

For all you Green Beret hopefuls, check out Jay wherever you can find him and if you come to your senses and want to try out for Air Force Special Warfare; you know where to find us!

Special Operations Forces use a simple framework to assess, select, train, equip, employ, deploy, and support their force across the DoD. This framework is known as the "SOF Truths".

You may have heard of them before, but in this 5 Part Series, Aaron and Peaches dig down deep to explain what they are, how to apply them, and how to avoid the problems they were meant to solve. 

In this episode, we look at SOF Truth V- Most special operations require non-SOF support. From USSOCOM- "The operational effectiveness of our deployed forces cannot be, and never has been, achieved without being enabled by our joint service partners. The support Air Force, Army, Marine and Navy engineers, technicians, intelligence analysts, and the numerous other professions that contribute to SOF, have substantially increased our capabilities and effectiveness throughout the world."

We can't wait to bring you this full series, and we hope you learned something from this one!

Directly from the USSOCOM's own literature- "Creation of competent, fully mission capable units takes time. Employment of fully capable special operations capability on short notice requires highly trained and constantly available SOF units in peacetime.

Air Force Combat Controller Jonathan Howard had a very non-standard path from starting in Services at the mortuary to cross-training, to finally living his dream as a Combat Controller.

The First There Foundation (https://www.1stthere.org/) is a passionate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to supporting all Combat Controllers during life’s most challenging moments. We understand the pain of feeling abandoned and aimless and the profound grief of losing a cherished one.

Please check out the First There Foundation and consider donating to this amazing organization.

You may have heard of them before, but in this 5 Part Series, Aaron and Peaches dig down deep to explain what they are, how to apply them, and how to avoid the problems they were meant to solve. 

In this episode, we look at SOF Truth III- SOF Forces Cannot be Mass Produced. Directly from the USSOCOM's own literature- "It takes years to train operational units to the level of proficiency needed to accomplish difficult and specialized SOF missions. Intense training – both in SOF schools and units – is required to integrate competent individuals into fully capable units. This process cannot be hastened without degrading ultimate capability."
