Ep 310: What Is Deploying in the Air Force REALLY like?

We checked out the archives and realized that Peaches and Aaron dropped a banger and forgot to release it. Peaches did, Aaron was passable (shout out Aaron Love Hate Club). 

What are deployments really like? It is 99% really boring minutae spiced up with moments of combat and sheer terror. The process leading up to the deployment is a horse of a different color. 

Deployment lines, training cycles, and all the rest of what it's like to deploy not only in the Air Force Special Warfare Career fields but for all the jobs you can do in th USAF!!!

We hope you guys like this one! Leave us questions in the comments!
