Send us a text Buckle up. In this flaming hot Ones Ready drop, Peaches unloads on the latest Air Force news like it’s target practice. From the Pentagon’s DEI purge to putting cruise missiles on MQ-9s (because why not?), we’re diving deep into the bureaucratic chaos of the DoD’s week. We question why the hell an OA-1K would carry a cruise missile, throw shade at “aspirational” tech projects, and get uncomfortably honest about childcare, base closures, and how many damn generals are collecting...

Send us a text In this epic Ones Ready episode, we sit down with Jay from Endex Archery, whose resume reads like a military fever dream: SERE drop, Security Forces, Combat Arms, OSI Agent, tier-one special mission unit… and then casually slides into the FBI. This man literally said “nah” to survival school and then sprinted straight into a career that landed him fighting terror, investigating spies, and now helping vets heal through archery. Jay opens up about losing six teammates to a VBIED ...

Ep 469: What Does Special Reconnaissance Do?

2025/05/10

Send us a text You’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 b...

Send us a text In today’s Daily Drop, Peaches wades through 20+ pages of Pentagon memos so you don’t have to—and the headlines are as wild as you’d expect. From the DoD accelerating AI and electronic warfare for SOF teams (because robot war is here), to the Pentagon trying to fire every transgender troop in 30 days (seriously), it’s another day in America’s defense soap opera. Also: the Space Force is debating whether orbital refueling is even worth it, even though it sounds like the coolest ...

Send us a text Welcome to the May 8th Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down another round of Pentagon chaos with his signature sarcasm. On today’s menu: the DoD admits it probably won’t pass an audit… for at least another 3 years (LOL), military daycares struggle with child abuse reporting (yikes), and the Pentagon’s cyber warriors are apparently fighting cartels with keyboards at the border (sure, why not?). Meanwhile, the KC-46 Pegasus finally clears its cracked ribs, the F-15EX basing dram...

First up: the Defense Secretary is finally chopping some four-star generals—because apparently you don’t need that many bosses to lose wars. 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 underpai...

This episode is pure stream-of-consciousness chaos, blending gym talk, Air Force drama, and political hot takes that’ll make the Pentagon’s PR team sweat.

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 ...

This episode’s a rollercoaster through military bureaucracy, geopolitical chaos, and some straight-up “wait… what?” moments. We’re talking about 8,000 troops at the southern border, the Air Force testing robo-wingmen, Japan mad about a B-1 bomb...

We’ve got F-35 inventory fraud ($11 billion missing? Casual.), Travis AFB potentially doubling as an immigration detention center (...

Welcome to the April 30th edition of the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the actual DoD news that gets sent to generals...and then we make fun of it.

This week, Ones Ready goes nuclear with Matt Cubbler — Army veteran, retired cop, and the man Special Operations would really prefer you ignore. We dive into why Matt’s been dubbed the “SEAL Killer” (spoiler: it’s not because he stormed a compound) and how decades of government gaslighting, backroom deals, and military industrial self-worship led to the cover-ups of heroes like John Chapman and Job...

From a proposed Pentagon rebrand that sounds like it came straight from a Call of Duty menu (“War Department,” anyone?) to a grandma trying to sue the Navy to become a SEAL (yep, that’s real), this one has it all. We’re also unpacking the dumpster fire that is the commissary system ("now wit...

UFC Hall-of-Famer and America’s toughest mustache, Don Frye, joins Aaron and Atlas for a conversation that spans decades, back surgeries, ghost trucks, Vietnam comms tents, and mob-backed wrestling matches in Japan. What starts as a laugh-packed swapcast quickly veers into territory most men won’t talk about: childhood trauma, fear, failure, the shame of weakness—and the rage that fuels resilience. 🦬 Don walks through fire
