Send us a textYou’ve asked. We’ve avoided. But today? We answer. In this no-holds-barred, caffeine-fueled episode, Aaron and Trent finally break down what Special Reconnaissance (SR) actually does—why it exists, why it’s not just “Air Force Marine Recon,” and why anyone trying to say “but SEALs can do that” needs to go touch grass.Trent—who literally helped write the playbook for SR—lays out why the Air Force had to level up from SOWT, why SR isn’t a clone of other recon units, and how SR brings a capability-based solution to Air Force-specific problems in the next-gen fight. Oh, and if you think it’s just “guys sneaking around in ghillie suits,” strap in. We’re talking intel, electronic warfare, environmental sensing, sniper school, free fall, and (hopefully) dive recovery missions… all while bridging the gap between air assets and ground teams.Also: Why the Air Force finally realized being “just an enabler” wasn’t cutting it anymore, how SOCOM called their bluff, and why SR isn’t meant to just “loan guys out” to other services. This is your crash course on why SR isn’t weather anymore—and why it’s a critical wedge in the special warfare team.👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment, leave a review, check out the membership, and grab some merch at OnesReady.com. And if you’re thinking about SR or AFSPECWAR, get your butt to the Operator Training Summit in June.🔥 Key Takeaways:🛩️ SR fills an Air Force-specific recon gap—fixing problems only AF teams can solve.🔥 It’s about capabilities, not just bodies: think EW, intel, environmental sensing.🎯 SR trains in sniper school, freefall, dive (hopefully), and advanced recon courses.🤔 “Why does the AF need recon?” Easy: you want AF teams solving AF problems.📡 SR acts as the tactical arm of Air Force intel & electronic warfare.🚀 It’s not about loaning guys out—it’s about enabling airpower in the next-gen fight.💥 Put an SR guy on a hill with a JTAC and you’ve got overwatch, situational awareness, and kinetic capability all wrapped up.🧠 SR adds synergy to the special warfare team: 1+1 = 3.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Quick Hitter: “What’s SR?” 01:00 Support the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pr...

Meanwhile, the Air Force is overhauling basic training again (spoiler: it might actually get hard), Space Force is still figuring out who’s supposed to do what, and DoD firefighters are overworked and underpaid (but hey, thanks for showing up!).Also on deck: the U.S. tests a reusable hypersonic missile (finally catching up to China), Tricare’s paperwork hell drags on, and Congress realizes that refurbishing 60-year-old missile silos is maybe not the best idea.

Send us a textToday’s Ones Ready Daily Drop is packed tighter than the Pentagon’s missing budget. Jared breaks down how the DoD is basically playing Jenga with defense funding, while the Air Force quietly raids the Boneyard for junkyard F-16s to prop up Ukraine’s air force. Meanwhile, the Space Force is out here casually “dogfighting” Chinese satellites in orbit and looking for AI to figure out where their satellites even are.Oh, and we’ve got a guy in a literal jetpack doing an untethered spacewalk (because apparently the 80s were WILD), the Army making a Space Ops MOS (because soldiers apparently needed another badge), and the Pentagon’s latest brainstorm: drone-killing tech that’s safe for civilians.
