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.
