Everyone is going to want to buckle up for this rollercoaster of an episode where the Ones Ready team and  “OB” discuss how the Thai Cave Rescue transpired.  These teams from numerous countries were able to work together against all odds (a continuously flooding cave, hungry and scared kids, cold water, an enormous cave network, shall I continue???).  There are some real nailbiters in this episode and you can see it in the faces of the Ones Ready team as OB explains what happened.  Everyone involved in this rescue did an outstanding job and is the reason that soccer team is alive today.  This type of high-level problem solving is exactly what Special Warfare is looking for and if this is the type of person you are, then you need to join us!  Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!

The U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command has a unique set of skills.  Skills that make saving lives easy for someone like them.  They're called the Special Tactics Special Operations Surgical Team or SOST for short.  The Ones Ready team spoke to two of these SOST pipe hitters about what it takes to be SOST and the type of person they're looking for.  Their ability and willingness to push to forward locations with SOF teams make them uniquely qualified to save lives in less than perfect situations.  SOST also shoot, move, and communicate as part of the SOF core skillset that has come to be expected of every SOF element in the inventory.  A solid section of questions from Ones Ready followers with answers to your questions.  Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!

The Ones Ready team is going to dive into some of the more common questions we get to help you out!  Some of these questions include "should I go to college first and then join?" or "what sports should I be doing in high school to help me prepare?" and many more.  You are not the only one with these questions and we recognize that!  This is why we made this episode specifically because everyone's situation is different and it's possible that the best way to prepare for entering the pipeline is not how you expect it to be.  We recommend you live your life and enjoy yourself. Shockingly Aaron suggests you go get into some "low-level trouble"!!!  What's that all about?  Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!

On this episode, the Ones Ready team will discuss some of the differences between officers and enlisted within Special Warfare.  We’ll discuss how we see the roles of an officer and an enlisted member differ when thinking about who is “in charge” and who is “in command” because there is a difference.  Some of the good characteristics of officers will be covered as well as some of the less desirable traits.  More importantly though, we discuss how an officer and enlisted member should conduct business with each other and how they can be successful while in A&S, the pipeline, on team, or even as a command leadership team. Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback. If we didn’t answer your questions, please let us know!

Every once in a while living legends will step in your life and function at such a high-level that they unwillingly embarrass you.  Roomba is that person in the TACP career field.  Roomba started off as a conventional TACP working large maneuvering Army Armor (tanks) units. Building on his foundations he wanted more, so he went to Airborne School to increase his abilities.  Even that wasn't enough for Roomba, so he applied and was selected to attend the United States Air Force Weapons School which is an enormous accomplishment.  After graduating he went back to his unit and led his people to successful engagements in deployed locations until he again decided that he wanted more.  That's when he transitioned to SOF and is living his best life.  We enjoyed having Roomba on the podcast and look forward to having him on again.

What a year Pararescueman TSgt Kenneth "OB" O'Brien has had!  First he was part of the Thai Cave rescue operations, treated a Korean after a tractor fire, was part of President Trump's medical protection detail, saved an infant on his flight on the way to be named United States Air Force 12 Outstanding Airmen Of The Year!  All of this happened in a span of a year, while most people wait their entire career for these opportunities.  OB is an absolute stud, but he comes with baggage.  He is affectionately referred to by his teammates as a "Black Cloud", but he prefers to be considered a "Gray Cloud" because not everything that happens around him turns out bad!  Enjoy getting to know OB as we have and we look forward to having him on the podcast again.

Transitioning from a civilian to an Airman can be an interesting experience, to say the least.  Learning to make your bed, fold your shirts, dress, and shower how the Air Force wants you to all while saying "why the hell am I doing it this way"?!.  The Ones Ready team will discuss their personal experiences all while discussing the hilarity of the transition and what they learned when they entered.  This one also got a little deeper than we initially expected and which could give you some insight into what Special Warfare and the Air Force, in general, is like.  You'll laugh, you'll cry, but you're probably be saying WTF even more so!

Every human has obstacles in their life that will get between them and their intended goal.  Some of these obstacles are internal obstacles like fear of heights or even your current fitness level.  Other obstacles could be external which could be family, friends, or coworkers questioning if you can make it.  Other external obstacles could be difficulties finding a pool to train in.  Obstacles large and small exist for everyone, but we cannot ignore those obstacles.  We have to move towards these obstacles and attack them intensely in order to make it to our intended goals.  It may not be easy to crush this obstacles, but we know it will be worth it in the end.  Finding the journey through these obstacles will help us to build great character traits that will serve us throughout life!

On this episode of the Ones Ready podcast, the team will discuss some of the ways that you can set yourself up for success when you're exploring cross-training opportunities,  ways you can gain the support of your Chain of Command and how important it is to have their support.  Also we'll cover the importance of the attention to detail you need to give your cross-training package as it could be the single thing that makes or breaks your chances of cross-training.  The Team will cover how as a cross-trainee or prior service member you'll be expected to have a certain level of maturity and leadership to carry your team through difficult times.  Wrapping it all up is a secret question from Aaron to the group and the answers that will help you move forward!
