Send us a textIn today's spicy drop, Peaches' back after a one-day hiatus—sorry not sorry—and he’s coming in hotter than a Chinese stealth jet built entirely out of stolen parts. From the Pentagon reclaiming Panama like it's 1914, to the US Space Force asking for scraps while trying to refuel space warships mid-orbit, this one’s got everything: geopolitical hot takes, budget rants, and even a shoutout to F-15Es babysitting the Pacific while we wait for the F-15EXs to show up fashionably late.Oh, and that $2.1 TRILLION F-35 program? Apparently, it’s just a long-term payment plan that spans 100 years. You know, like student loans—but with jet engines.China's “J-36” makes an appearance, but Jared’s not buying the hype. After all, when 80% of your military tech is duct-taped IP theft, maybe don’t flex so hard.And if Congress can't pass a damn budget, maybe we should shut it all down and hard reset this clown show.You didn’t ask for this dose of snark, sarcasm, and space-fueled doomscrolling—but here it is.🔥 Key Takeaways:The U.S. wants Panama Canal custody back. Apparently, giving it away was “not great.”China’s Belt & Road: more like Broke & Screwed.$2.1 trillion for the F-35… but it's over 100 years, so relax (or don't).Space Force: “We need money.” Congress: “LOL, no.”Orbital refueling is coming. Yes, we're gassing up stuff in space now.Government budgeting is a joke. Jared votes for a shutdown just to shake things up.The J-36 fighter looks mean—but remember, China builds with Google Images and hope.F-15Es holding down the Pacific while we wait for the EXs like it’s a delayed Amazon delivery.Ukraine’s flying F-16s now—just not ours (we think).Junior enlisted got a raise… so child care might cost more? Make it make sense.🎯 Call-to-Actions: 💥 Like, subscribe, and slap that bell like it owes you back pay 💬 Drop a comment—unless you’re gonna defend the J-36, then come correct ⭐ Leave a review and boost us up before we get shadowbanned again 🛍️ OnesReady.com: grab merch that’s tougher than your PAO 💣 Join the membership—we keep it real even Support the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

Send us a textIn this episode of Ones Ready, Peaches sits down with Susan and Korey, two legendary instructors teaching Air Traffic Control at Combat Control School—yes, actual ATC, not the “wave your arms at planes” nonsense people assume CCTs do.Susie’s a Gulf War vet with a PhD in aviation (no big deal), and Korey is a former Ranger, CCT, and 7-knee-surgery survivor turned 24-year ATC workhorse. Together, they break down why ATC is the mental crucible of the pipeline, why simulators never quite capture the chaos of real-world ops, and how holding 3D-printed planes while yelling “LEFT BASE!” actually trains America’s most elite Combat Controllers.You’ll get behind-the-scenes stories, evolution of ATC in the pipeline, what “simulator rage” looks like, and yes—why helicopters are still the combat controller’s kryptonite.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Combat Controller ATC Is No Joke – It’s not watered down. It’s not fluff. It’s the same curriculum—and then some. 💥 Mental Muscle Over Physical Strength – You can’t ruck your way through a clearance delivery screw-up. 💥 Sim Rage Is Real – Students will break before phraseology does. 💥 Helicopters Still Suck – Their flight profiles make combat controllers cry. 💥 Real Pilots, Real Pressure – Students now get live aircraft reps post-graduation. 💥 Forget Pre-Studying – Come in humble. We'll train you right. 💥 Zero Washouts in 3.5 Years – When you want to be there, you make it work. 💥 3D-Printed Aircraft > Million-Dollar Sims – Sometimes the old ways still slap. 💥 ATC Is Written in Blood – The rules aren’t optional. They’re survival. 💥 “Average Ranger” Energy – Just keep showing up and pushing forward. That’s the win.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if you’ve ever yelled at a model airplane during training. 💬 Drop a comment with your worst sim meltdown moment. ⭐ Leave a review—especially if you finally understand why helicopters make controllers twitch. 🛒 Visit OnesReady.com to grab merch and check out our membership. 🎧 Subscribe and share with someone who thinks ATC is just tower cosplay.Support the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textIn this absolute banger of an episode, Peaches and Trent casually disassemble the military-industrial complex, parenting guilt, British censorship, and how not to run a drone program… all while planning t-shirt logistics and surviving haunted Airbnbs. It’s like sitting in on a leadership meeting, a roast, and an existential crisis—all at the same time.We kick things off with crop dusters—no, not the fart kind, the literal aircraft AFSOC spent $2 billion on instead of investing in drone tech that actually works at elevation. Then we spiral into public affairs drama (hi PAO 👋), complain about retired intel officers who suddenly think they know how to run special ops, and go deep on fatherhood and why we’ll never get it right (but we’re gonna keep trying anyway).There’s also a solid takedown of British “hate speech” laws, a nostalgic breakdown of the chaos of pipeline prep, and a reminder that the best way to become famous is to get arrested by the UK’s constables.You’ll laugh, you’ll get fired up, you’ll want to call your kid and apologize for being on your phone earlier.🔥 Key Takeaways:AFSOC spent $2 billion on a glorified crop duster that can’t fly far, high, or long. But hey, at least it looks like it does something.Our drone program? Worth about 1.3% of that. But sure, let’s keep crashing them into Walmart roofs.Military leadership sometimes cares more about “protecting the image” than fixing the actual problems.Honest feedback is rare because people look up to you—until they're behind your back calling your event “mid.”Being a dad is mostly wondering if you were emotionally unavailable this week or just tired.If you’re gonna shoot someone in self-defense—make sure they’re dead. Not our words, just... ask any cop.The British will arrest you for saying mean things in a group chat. Jared hopes they try.Haunted Airbnbs are still better than futons.Introverts are people too. They just talk less and feel more.Being real gets you shadowbanned. Being loud gets you cancelled. But being honest? That gets you members.🎯 Call-to-Actions: 🚨 Like, Comment, and Subscribe before weJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

The man has survived boat ramps, raging seas, rogue helicopters, and his own dumb decisions—so you know he’s qualified to roast himself and everyone else in the process.We go deep on:Nearly dying multiple times (on purpose),Hazing that would make HR explode,Buddy-breathing with the Devil,And how to fail upward into leadership.Oh—and if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you haze your students too hard, don't worry: karma's real and it faceplants hard.💥 Hazing Builds Brotherhood – Until it doesn’t. Then it just builds stories. 💥 Sharks are Real. So is Karma. – Especially when you're dangling like a glow stick. 💥 “We Forgot the PJs” – Actual quote from the cockpit.

Send us a textWelcome to your daily dose of unfiltered chaos, where Peaches breaks down the news like a sledgehammer breaks through PR-approved nonsense. This ain’t your polished AFN brief—this is the real rundown, straight from the Ones Ready bunker. Spoiler: if you love taxpayer-funded crop dusters, British police overreach, or beard policies held together by ETP duct tape—you’re in for a treat.From the Panama Canal to Star Wars-era missile defense, the DEI purge of Maya Angelou, and the ongoing saga of “Fat Tony” Bauerfein, Peaches’ on one today. We’re talking about $2B aircraft that couldn’t win a dogfight with a Pelican, the kind of “malicious compliance” that gets classics deleted from Navy libraries, and how shadow banning is the new way to say “you’re winning.”🔥 Key Takeaways:The Panama Canal still matters. Jimmy Carter still catching strays.$2B for a semi-prepped grass-strip warbird with the loiter time of a vape pen.Malicious compliance is alive and well—congrats to the contractor who Control+F’d Maya Angelou into oblivion.DEI reversals, pronoun ping-pong, and beard-based Jedi religious claims… all in a day’s work.Yes, Jared called General Bauerfein “fat” again. Yes, the PAO is still mad.14 APKWS, 4 Hellfires, 2 sensor balls... and 0 logic in AFSOC budgeting.Space Force is launching birds into space—literally. RIP bird sanctuary.If the UK arrests Jared for his spicy takes, Ones Ready becomes an international sensation. Win-win.The GWOT was fun. And no, we don’t want a sequel—but maybe a spinoff?Lockheed fumbled a 6th-gen fighter bid and Wall Street noticed.

Send us a textWelcome to the most line-stepping, career-defying, rule-dodging episode in Ones Ready history. We’re joined by none other than Jonathan Harmon—PJ-turned-CRO, Red Wings rescue mastermind, tactical genius, and part-time aircraft hijacker (allegedly).From failing swim tests and skydiving with squirrels in Florida, to running the Combined Air Operations Center during Operation Red Wings, Harmon proves one thing: you don’t need a six-pack or clearance to change the entire course of a war—you just need audacity and a spreadsheet.We’re talking real-deal combat rescue, bootstrapping squadrons from zero gear, calling out toxic “quiet professional” culture, and the exact moment where someone looked him in the eye and said: “You’re not Adonis. Get out of my team room.”Strap in. This is not a SEAL movie. It’s the story of the actual dudes who saved lives, built the system, and then had to figure out how to buy drywall to build their own squadron walls.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 "Quiet Professional" ≠ Silent Professional – Your silence isn't noble. It's just unhelpful. 💥 Built Different (Literally) – The man built a squadron from a paint bucket and a dream. 💥 Red Wings – Harmon saw the blip, did the math, got ignored... then changed the op. 💥 Hijacked a C-17 – “Not arrested—detained.” Sure, bro. 💥 Enlisted First, Officer Second – Pro tip: know the job before you try leading it. 💥 PJ Team Room Energy – Flannel. Divorce. Granola. Tattoos. 💥 From Tactical to Strategic – A PJ saves a life. A Crow changes the game. 💥 Respect Is Earned – Even in jammies, Marcus Luttrell got nearly drawn down on. 💥 We ARE the Old Guys Now – So start talking before your story dies with you.✅ Like this episode if drywall and duct tape built your first team room. 💬 Comment if you’ve ever stepped over the line… and stayed there. ⭐ Leave a review, even if it’s just to ask why we haven’t made a movie about this yet. 🛒 Grab your merch and join the crew at OnesReady.com 🎙️ Apply for our membership before we turn it into a pyramid scheme.

Send us a textIt’s April 4th, and Peaches is bringing you the news that makes commanders panic and E-4s roll their eyes.Today’s drop hits everything from AFRICOM possibly getting stuffed back under EUCOM (because geography isn’t real), to a $2 billion gunship that looks like it flew straight out of Planes (2013).Meanwhile, the Air Force is grounding pregnant aircrew, the Space Force is begging for a bigger allowance, and a fired general’s name is blasted across the DoD like a bad Yelp review. Add in NATO drama, orbital warfare threats, and a bunch of space startups flexing on legacy contractors—and you've got yourself a fully loaded episode of “what the hell are we doing?”🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 AFRICOM + EUCOM Merger? – 50 countries and one Chinese base next door say “probably not.” 💥 $2B Sky Raider Debuts – AFSOC’s new toy looks like Dusty with guns. Let’s hope it delivers. 💥 Intel Colonels Critiquing Combat Fitness – Ma’am, this isn’t your lane. 💥 Pregnant Pilots Grounded in First Trimester – No ejection seats for you. 💥 Space Force Says China Is Cooking Orbital Violence – Saltzman’s begging for backup. 💥 General Fired, PA Blasts It to the World – Totally necessary, right? 💥 100+ Civilians Could Be Axed at the Academy – Uniforms good, but continuity matters. 💥 NATO Needs to Pay Up – Rubio wants 5% GDP. 💥 Germany Has 47 U.S. Bases – Casual. 💥 Small Space Companies Are Eating Everyone’s Lunch – Welcome to capitalism in orbit. 💥 Nuclear-Powered AI Farms Are Coming – Because your data center’s air conditioning sucks.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if your tax dollars funded a cartoon-looking gunship. 💬 Comment if your Space Force budget could use more than 3% of anything. ⭐ Leave a review—unless you're one of the people still emailing strike targets over Signal. 🛒 Cop fresh restocks at OnesReady.com and support the crew. 🧢 Rock some BarbellApparel.com gear before the BOGO deal ends April 28.Support the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where your BS gets exposed faster than a fake pipeline story at selection. In this banger of an episode, Aaron, Trent, and recurring badass John Mollura (former NASA engineer turned keynote speaker) dissect the real reason you keep procrastinating—and spoiler alert—it’s not your schedule.Turns out, your “time management problem” is actually a fear problem. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being average in front of other people. If you’re stuck in the cycle of “I’ll start tomorrow,” congrats—you’re not lazy, you’re just lying to yourself with a rocking chair full of excuses.So pour that coffee, put down TikTok, and get ready to be called out—lovingly, of course.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Fear is the Root of Everything – Procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking? All symptoms of the same disease: fear. 💥 Stop Breaking Promises to Yourself – You show up for everyone but you. That’s why your confidence is garbage. 💥 Your Job Isn’t Your Identity – Being a “special ops guy” or “NASA nerd” isn’t who you are. It’s just what you did. 💥 Success ≠ Perfection – Skipped your 2-hour workout? Cool. 30 minutes still beats zero. 💥 Ask Better Questions – Stop asking “why do I suck?” and start asking “how do I move forward?” 💥 Self-Coaching is the Goal – No one’s coming to save you. You either do the hard work or you keep spinning in the excuse carousel. 💥 Therapy vs. Coaching – Therapy digs into the past. Coaching gives you tools to crush the future.📢 Call-to-Actions:✅ Like this episode if it punched you in the soul (in a good way). ✅ Subscribe if you’re tired of lying to yourself. 💬 Drop a comment telling us what you’re going to stop procrastinating. ⭐ Leave a review to confuse the algorithm and help us grow. 🛒 Check out the merch at OnesReady.com and consider becoming a member—so we can keep making content that hurts (but heals).Support the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

Plus, the Air Force is giving away F-15s and leaving Indo-PACOM hanging until 2026. Oh, and U.S. government officials are still using Gmail for “sensitive” talks. What year is it?Meanwhile, Canada is mad about F-35s, the Philippines just got a $5.6B fighter jet hookup, and some dudes in Congress want to go full cartel-hunting mode with airstrikes.Just another Tuesday.
