2025/08/13

Send us a text Peaches unloads on a wild week in defense news—DARPA drops the mic with the world’s biggest real-time electronic warfare range, the U.S. throws pocket change at Panama’s border, and NATO still cries poor while leaning on U.S. muscle. From AI-driven target tracking and new Air Force dorm “suites” that’ll make Marines jealous, to Space Force finally cutting ties with Russian rocket engines, this episode swings between jaw-dropping tech and head-shaking policy moves. Oh, and we’re...

2025/08/12

Send us a text Peaches kicks off this drop swinging at everything from the chaos in D.C. to the ridiculous idea that military academies ever needed race-based admissions. National Guard troops are back in the capital because apparently it’s become Mad Max with monuments. Cyber interns get a salute for their terrifyingly cool hacking skills, a World War I badass gets long-overdue recognition, and Space Force is about to light off the Vulcan rocket like it’s the Fourth of July. There’s also som...

Send us a text Peaches is back with your August 11 Ops Brief — and as always, the military circus doesn’t disappoint. From the DoD’s 76th birthday party (cake not included) to the Navy handing CENTCOM over like a hot potato, it’s been a week. We hit the SkillsBridge hustle, Red Flag roaring over Nellis, Space Force flexing with upgraded sensors and a part-time gig option, and yes — a Guard Special Tactics Squadron in Tampa is on the way. Also, we cover why the X-37B space plane might be coole...

2025/08/11

Send us a text Forget the Instagram highlight reels—Peaches and Aaron are dropping the unfiltered, step-by-step hacks to survive the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline without becoming another quit statistic. This isn’t “drink more water” fluff; it’s the down-and-dirty, why-your-shins-are-dying, how-to-not-faceplant-on-the-IFT kind of episode. From running until you hate life, to fueling like a machine, to training until your friends think you’ve joined a cult, they break down exactly how to ...

Send us a text Welcome back to the Ones Ready team room, where Peaches kicks down the door with another unapologetic ops brief. We’re starting off hot with Fort Bliss turning into a glorified detention center because, shocker, we’re drowning in illegal immigration. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard just wrecked someone's narco empire by snatching up $88 million in drugs—casually dropped in San Diego like it’s trash day. But the real jaw-dropper? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 9/11’s mastermind, pled guilty...

Send us a text Think active duty is the only path? Derrick Blake would like a word—preferably during his 3-day weekend. From almost joining the Marines to wrenching on A-10s and recruiting for the 193rd Special Operations Wing, Derrick walks us through how the Air National Guard let him stay home, stack checks, and still deploy to undisclosed sandbox locations. Oh, and did we mention you start getting paid before basic? Yeah. This one’s going to ruffle some feathers—and we love it. We talk Gu...

Send us a text Peaches is back with a savage ops brief for August 7th—spitting truth, roasting bureaucracy, and dragging the Air Force’s finest decisions through the mud. Public Affairs thought they could silence him by revoking access to curated news updates (LOL), but jokes on them—he's still lighting up your eardrums. From Cybertrucks as target practice to tragic gate incidents to the DOD quietly spending $175B on a missile shield no one’s allowed to talk about, this one's packed with head...

Send us a text Danielle Sebastian has heard it all: “Just leave him.” “You deserve better.” “Try date night.” After years of battling confusion, control issues, and emotional chaos in her marriage to a childhood trauma survivor, she realized what most advice was missing—actual tools that work in real life. Now a trauma-informed relationship coach, bestselling author, and founder of WifeCARE, Danielle helps partners stop walking on eggshells and start rebuilding connection. In this episode, sh...

He breaks down the latest military absurdities: an M18 that might go bang on its own, $800 million more to Ukraine (because why not), and bomber nostalgia getting its moment in the spotlight. From Air Force weapon inspections to Space Force getting ghosted on funding (again), this episode covers all the headlines that matter—plus a rant or two. Also, the Operato...

Send us a text Scott Sanders didn’t just go from Navy E-2 to Admiral—he took that momentum and barrel-rolled straight into crafting world-record bourbon and hunting MIAs in Cambodia. The Ones Ready crew sits down with the Tobacco Barn Distillery co-founder and Tours of Duty partner to talk Navy aviation, smacking SEAL brothers, bourbon snobbery, and what it means to chase purpose post-uniform. If you’ve ever wanted to drink patriotism straight from a bottle or launch a 500-lb barrel out of a ...

Send us a text Peaches dives headfirst into the DoD’s latest chaos buffet—$5.4 billion budget reshuffles, fighter jet production whiplash, and the Air Force playing safety dad with the M18 pistol. Meanwhile, cartel operatives are heading to Ukraine for drone training (because why the hell not), and a Swedish ISIS fanatic gets clocked for war crimes. Toss in some missileer cancer cleanup, a grounded Skyraider II PA scandal, and a missing sailor off the USS George Washington… and you've got you...

Send us a text In today’s daily drop, Peaches blasts through the latest ops headlines like a Hellfire through a Toyota Hilux. From exposing our hilariously thin missile reserves to roasting tech bros whose drones crumble outside PowerPoint presentations, this one’s a full-body workout in situational awareness. AFRICOM’s been busy lighting up Somalia, the National Guard’s turning Northern Michigan into a drone graveyard, and Space Force is slinging lasers and quantum gadgets into orbit like it...

Send us a text Strap in, because this “daily drop” is a full-throttle rollercoaster of Pentagon absurdity and global WTFs. From promoting a former Space Force whistleblower to Under Secretary of the Air Force, to blowing $200M on a border wall while ignoring busted pistols and flood victims—this episode doesn’t pull punches. Peaches goes off on political aircraft pork, war with China (spoiler: lots of body bags), and the Space Force’s asteroid defense ambitions. Oh, and yes, Pizza Cat is aliv...

Send us a text Kate Gladdin’s mom was killed by a man who shouldn’t have even been on the streets. And the prosecuting attorney? She’s more interested in her win-loss record than actual justice. This episode pulls no punches as the Ones Ready crew exposes a legal system in Sheridan, Wyoming, that protects predators, punishes victims, and avoids accountability like it’s contagious. David Johnson—DUI, sexual abuse of a minor, domestic violence, reckless driving, and now vehicular homicide—is be...

You get Aaron Love. In this solo mic-drop of an origin story, Aaron walks us through his chaotic rise from “littering charge degenerate” to USAF Pararescueman. From failed college attempts and $0.50 beer nights to literal jail time and getting smoked in Florida with boats and logs, Aaro...

Send us a text Peaches drops into the team room to roast the DoD’s latest brainchild—the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense program. Because nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like duct-taping old tech to new threats. From sketchy F-35 upgrades to AI-driven psyops and a pistol that just…goes off, this episode is a rollercoaster of bureaucratic brilliance and defense déjà vu. Oh, and shoutout to the DoD for finally noticing that maybe, just maybe, over-classifying everything isn’t help...

2025/07/23

Send us a text Peaches is back with another scathing ops brief—this time dragging the DoD for everything from mystery missiles and “indefinite quantity” contracts (yeah, that’s real) to billion-dollar Iron Dome knockoffs. From Space Force promotions to “near-miss” B-52s and the Pentagon handing OpenAI a $200M AI war chest, this episode dives deep into the weird, the wild, and the “we’re definitely not overfunded” chaos of 2025. Also: the real reason the Air Force hit their recruiting goals ea...

Send us a text Peaches returns with another banger, torching bureaucratic blunders and Joint Force nonsense. From the Pentagon flexing like it just invented drone grenades, to the DoD accidentally letting Chinese engineers tinker with our cloud—this one's a spicy ride. He dives into the F-35 budget cut drama, Space Force cosplay, uniform updates that no one asked for, and yes, another near-miss in the skies. Also: Nashville OTS still has slots, and you might even get Uncle Sam to foot the bil...

Spoiler: He crushed it, thanks to mobility stretches, protein overloads, and bedtime at 7:30 PM – because who needs video games when you're building an empire? Alex spills the tea on ditching desk job...

Spoiler: He joined open general (rookie move), got roped into Tac P via a sketchy projector vid of explosions and parachutes, and survived Florida swamps full of bears, panthers, and zero GPS – all...
