Ones Ready Ep 518: We F’d Up the A-10? Jarred Taylor & CMSgt Spreter Talk The Future of TACP
Buckle up — Peaches sits down with Black Rifle Coffee’s Jared Taylor and AFSW’s Chief Jimbo Spreeder to torch the nonsense strangling the Air Force from the inside out. From the death-by-a-thousand-cuts of the A-10, to the badge redesign drama, to the Tech P force reduction nobody understood, this episode pulls zero punches.
Peaches calls out leadership confusion (“Wait, you didn’t know what TacPs do?!”), while JT and Jimbo laugh their way through the bureaucratic chaos that makes warriors less lethal. Expect hard truths, gallows humor, and the kind of brutally honest conversation you’ll never hear in a press briefing.
If you think the military’s “heritage problem” ends with pilots and PowerPoints, think again. The boys talk heritage, mental toughness, rebuilding the pipeline, and why being “Instagram fit” won’t save your ass when the rotors kick up and it’s go time.
This one’s pure Ones Ready energy: real talk, no filters, and all attitude.
