Air Force PJ vs SEAL on Chapman Medal of Honor, Iran...

Ones Ready ·

2026/10/02

Send us Fan Mail Ben Pappas brings Aaron Love and Jake Zweig into the War Room, and they start with one of the most emotionally charged stories in modern special operations history: Takur Ghar. More than two decades after the battle, a new documentary is challenging major pieces of the accepted account surrounding Medal of Honor recipient John Chapman. Aaron lays out why Ones Ready is approaching the controversy differently. No character assassination. No anonymous dirt. No SEAL-vs-PJ non...

Ones Ready ·

2026/10/02

Send us Fan Mail Trent sits down at AFA with 2nd Air Force Command Chief CMSgt Colin Fleck to talk about what may be one of the biggest shifts in Air Force Basic Military Training in decades. The conversation starts with legacy. Trent wears his father’s jacket and talks about how one generation of service can change the trajectory of an entire family. Chief Fleck shares his own family story — grandparents who served, a father in the Army, joining after September 11th, a son who became a Marin...

End Malaria with Dr. Speiger - Ep 627

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/30

Send us Fan Mail Aaron sits down with Dr. Bill Steiger to talk about a problem most Americans assume belongs somewhere else: Malaria...Except it doesn’t. Dr. Steiger explains why global health is directly connected to American national security, military readiness, economic stability, and early warning for infectious disease. Stopping an outbreak overseas is a whole lot easier than dealing with it after it reaches American shores. And malaria is not some ancient problem we already defeated ...

UK BEHAVIOR PAMPHLET

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/28

Send us Fan Mail Apparently, there’s a pamphlet for that. Border problems? Public safety concerns? Hand out some reading material. That should handle it. Peaches and Trent head Outside the Wire to break down “Understanding Behaviors and Expectations in the United Kingdom,” a guide for asylum seekers covering gender equality, domestic abuse, consent, and public conduct. Their biggest question: what do written expectations accomplish if the government won’t enforce them? The guys discuss Channe...

Chapman Cliffhanger - Ep 626

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/28

Send us Fan Mail Aaron, Trent, and Peaches get into the Ground Truth documentary controversy and the growing fight over what happened at Takur Ghar. The crew’s position in this episode is pretty simple: the documentary is not out yet, so the evidence still has to speak for itself. Aaron explains why he is refusing to get dragged into character attacks, anonymous DMs, off-the-record conversations, or internet games designed to turn disagreement into personal warfare. If the documentary team ...

Airman First - Ep 625

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/25

Send us Fan Mail Aaron, Trent, and Peaches are back, and Trent just returned from AFA with a firsthand look at where the Air Force is trying to take Basic Military Training. Apparently some people at AFA thought BMT was a company selling rockets, so we are off to an excellent start. Underneath the jokes, though, there is a serious shift happening. Trent talks about seeing senior Air Force leaders getting behind a renewed investment in the enlisted force and asking a question that probably sho...

SEALs Want Chapman's Medal - Ep 624

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/19

Send us Fan Mail Aaron, Trent, and Peaches jump straight into the renewed fight over MSgt John Chapman, Takur Ghar, and the Medal of Honor narrative after new reels and an upcoming documentary challenge the accepted account of what happened on that mountain. And this one is personal. The crew lived through the era, knew people directly connected to the event, watched the years of investigation that went into Chapman’s Medal of Honor upgrade, and remember the resistance surrounding it. So when...

OTS FAQs II - Ep 623

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/18

Send us Fan Mail Peaches goes solo to finish another stack of Operator Training Summit questions — or at least tries to before the ribs downstairs start calling his name. This is OTS FAQ Part 2, and it starts with one of the biggest questions candidates ask: what actually gets people through the hardest parts of selection and the job? Peaches’ answer is pretty simple. Train your ass off. Build confidence through preparation. Get comfortable spending a lot of time on your feet. Run. Swim. Ruck...

PJ reacts to the rescue of Dude 44B - Ep 622

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/14

Send us Fan Mail This isn’t analysis. This isn’t politics. This is raw. Aaron unloads on what just happened—and why it matters more than anything you’re arguing about online. Helicopters shot off target. Aircraft lost. Teams hit, patched up, and went right back on alert. Because someone was alone, injured, and needed help. That’s it. That’s the mission. This is CSAR stripped down to its core: no ego, no Instagram, no “pipeline hype.” Just one question—are you going to risk everything to...

Run More! - Ep 621

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/14

Send us Fan Mail Peaches is stuck at home with FOMO while the boys are at Operator Training Summit Pennsylvania, and somehow that turns into exactly what candidates need to hear again: you are probably not running enough. Trent and Peaches start with OTS updates, CrossFit Hershey, Pennsylvania, Miami University in Ohio, and Vegas in December. Then Peaches brings up something he has been noticing online: everyday recruiters and MTIs are putting in real mileage. Not candidates training for one ...

MTI Love - Ep 620

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/10

Send us Fan Mail Trent goes solo for a short one before heading to Washington, D.C. for AFA, and somehow the haircut actually matters. He explains that he’ll be at the Second Air Force booth for his day job, helping highlight work being done around Basic Military Training and the future of how the Air Force builds new Airmen. But this episode is not really about Trent, the booth, or anyone trying to turn AFA into a Ones Ready meet-and-greet. It is about the MTIs. Trent makes the case that Mil...

Send us Fan Mail This members-only episode goes off the rails in the best way. Peaches and Trent start with social media hopefuls broadcasting their Special Warfare dreams—and break down why visibility without performance can come back to haunt you in the pipeline. From authenticity vs cringe, performers vs non-performers, and why teams eventually protect their own, the conversation rolls into accountability, medals, general officers, Mark Milley, CQ Brown, and why shiny ribbon racks don’t eq...

SECWAR Out? - Ep 619

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/07

Send us Fan Mail Aaron and Peaches are back in the team room talking through the rumors around Pete Hegseth, the future of the Secretary of Defense/Secretary of War role, and what all this political turbulence actually means for people thinking about joining the military. This is not a “pick your team and scream online” episode. The point is bigger than one administration, one secretary, or one headline. If you serve long enough, administrations change. Secretaries change. Policies change. Ge...

LINDSAY CLANCY MISTRIAL

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/04

Send us Fan Mail One juror held the line—and the Lindsay Clancy trial ended without a verdict. Aaron and Peaches react to the mistrial in the case involving the deaths of Clancy’s three children. They discuss her insanity defense, the reported pressure surrounding the holdout juror, the possibility of another trial, and whether an impartial jury can still be found after years of national attention. Aaron also challenges the online movement defending Clancy and argues that mental illness can e...

Beards in Valhalla?- Ep 618

Ones Ready ·

2026/09/04

Send us Fan Mail Trent and Peaches are back, and somehow the episode starts with Valhalla, Norse paganism, Air Force beard waivers, and whether everybody suddenly developed shaving trauma at the exact same time. The boys talk about the lengths Airmen will go to for beards, shaving waivers, religious accommodations, fake individuality, and why spending half your professional life trying to dodge grooming standards might be more damaging than the beard itself. Peaches, as the only truly bearded...

Send us Fan Mail This members-only episode is a blunt, no-filter conversation between Peaches and Trent—and it goes exactly where it needs to. They bounce from Operator Training Summit updates and deliberate training to beards, uniforms, recruiting hype, Special Reconnaissance misinformation, and why accuracy matters more than motivation. They break down why scale matters in the U.S. military, why influencers selling fantasy jobs are doing real damage, and why being an extension of a capabili...

Stop Redlining - Ep 617

Ones Ready ·

2026/08/31

Send us Fan Mail Trent and Peaches bring in Taylor Starch, the mad scientist himself, to answer the questions candidates keep asking at Operator Training Summit. This is part one of the OTS FAQ dump, and it covers a lot: whether dependents can move with you during Zulu, how personal belongings work at selection, how to prevent ear infections, whether you should swim freestyle or combat side stroke, what the pipeline looks like, and what candidates should actually be doing when they have month...

USAF Promotion Fix - Ep 616

Ones Ready ·

2026/08/28

Send us Fan Mail Aaron, Trent, and Peaches are back in the team room talking about something the Air Force should have fixed forever ago: when someone turns down a promotion or loses a line number, that stripe should not just vanish into the bureaucratic shadow realm. Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Wolfe is pushing an initiative that would allow those unused promotions to go to the next qualified Airmen in line. Wild concept: if the Air Force says a career field needs ten Tech Sergean...

Ones Ready ·

2026/08/26

Send us Fan Mail Peaches and Trent go deep into a brutally uncomfortable reality check—law enforcement use of force, public outrage, double standards, fraud, entitlement, and how the internet distorts people’s ability to think clearly. This isn’t a clean “pick a side” episode. They walk the gray space between legality, morality, stress responses, and lived experience in high-risk environments. From ICE shootings and Venezuela to fraud, taxes, shoplifting, privilege, and the illusion of perman...
