Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text The Ones Ready crew is back with your daily drop, and today’s episode is hotter than the LRSO’s payload. Jared breaks down the latest in defense news with a healthy dose of sarcasm, fury, and common sense—none of which were found in the FY26 budget. From the Navy’s sixth-gen fighter dreams to Putin’s never-ending land grab, the episode covers it all. We’re talking U.S. evacuation plans in Bahrain, AFRICOM vs EUCOM turf wars, drone warfare budget gymnastics, and why building a micro nuke in Alaska is finally something to get excited about. Oh, and apparently we’re ready to go to war over Greenland…? If you like watching bureaucratic chaos unfold in real-time while Jared dunks on generals and defends SpaceX like it’s a religion, this one’s for you. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🛩️ Navy still wants a sixth-gen fighter… but don’t count on the money. 🇷🇺 Gen. Dan Cain says Putin’s got expansionist dreams—surprise, surprise. 🇵🇦 The Panama Canal is critical, and yeah, Carter may have screwed us. 🌍 AFRICOM might be more about officer jobs than strategic necessity. 🔬 Drone warfare is stuck in budget limbo pending reconciliation. 🚀 Sentinel ICBM testing delayed to 2028… more like “incremental incompetence.” ⚛️ Air Force builds a 5MW nuclear reactor in Alaska—finally, something badass. 💥 The LRSO cruise missile is real, stealthy, and 10x Hiroshima. 🛰️ Space Force gets $29B… but the White House is ghosting on documentation. 🇮🇷 Israel hits Iranian nuke sites while Ukraine experiments with fiber-optic drone defenses. 🏭 Congress wants dual-use defense factories like it’s 1942. 👨🚀 Musk vs Trump? Jared sides with SpaceX and the free market. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro + Pose Fitness & 18A plugs 01:20 – Navy’s fighter dreams vs Air Force priorities 02:40 – Putin won’t stop at Ukraine?

You get this week’s Ones Ready episode featuring the legendary Greg “Vic” Novickas—a battle-hardened Combat Controller who’s operated at every level of AFSOC and is now rewriting how we prepare the next generation of warfighters. Vic takes us through his journey from broke in Key West to tactically melting faces across the globe. From diving with inflatable sheep to running human performance integration like a battlefield surgeon, Vic is helping reshape Air Force Special Warfare—from Basic Training mindsets to elite pipeline development. This one’s deep, personal, hilarious, and full of hard truths—just how you like it. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Vic joined the Air Force for the most logical reason ever: free ATC training and maybe chicks. Dive school: lied to, survived it, became #1 dive team… with snacks. Setback? Sucks. But sometimes it makes you a monster. Ask Vic. He’s seen it all: 2-1 STS, AFSOC GSU, deployments that turned into selection courses, and team rooms full of chaos. The pipeline is broken… and Vic was working to fix it from the inside. Human performance isn’t just rehab—it’s how you dominate before, during, and after the mission. Resilience is cool… but wouldn’t it be better to not need it so much? If your why is just “don’t be trash,” congratulations—you’re normal.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text Welcome to your daily dose of blunt-force intel. On this episode of Ones Ready, Peaches breaks down the 12 June Ops Brief with the same energy as a pissed-off NCO finding unbloused boots. From nuclear microreactors to E-7 program death rattles, and shady F-35 budget slashings, this rundown covers everything the Pentagon tried to slip under the radar. Oh, and did we mention Air Force One is getting a facelift from Qatar... and no one will say what it costs? This one’s for the operators, the policy nerds, and the junior troops trying to make sense of senior leader decisions that sound like they were made during an Ambien trip. From partisan posturing to microreactor hype, this episode has one foot in the future and the other on a Congressional landmine. Grab your coffee and prep for turbulence. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🔥 The E-7 Wedgetail might be dead. Twice mentioned. Quietly cut. Command & control bros are not okay. 🧨 CENTCOM families given the green light to bounce —tensions with Iran/Israel boiling over. 💵 Air Force One is getting a new ride from Qatar. Price tag? None of your business. 🛠️ F-35 orders slashed for 2026 in favor of the mysterious new F-47 program. ⚛️ A nuclear microreactor is coming to Eielson AFB. Power grid who? 🚀 Space Force is finally making moves—with private sector intel , new degree programs, and environmental wins. 🧢 Florida Tech launching degrees at Patrick Space Force Base. The nerds are deploying. 🧾 Nunn-McCurdy breach on B-52 radar means delays and Congressional re-approval. Government efficiency at its finest. 🔧 Peaches goes down a rabbit hole on microreactors.

In this Daily Drop, Jared steamrolls through a Pentagon fever dream where California governors cry about sovereignty, the Air Force funds anxiety nap pods, and Russia’s Spiderweb drone strikes are the new nightmare fuel. Meanwhile, Trump deploys 2,000 National Guard troops to L.A., the Air Force downs another billion on wingman drones, and Space Force is somehow both broke and booming. The DoD can’t acquire software on time, the Air Force is buying nap boxes instead of fixing actual morale, and Space Force wants $4B more to figure out what they even do. If you were hoping for clarity, this ain’t it. But if you like chaos with a side of sarcasm and defense budget insanity—you’re in the right place. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Trump deploys 2,000 Guard troops to L.A.—Newsom loses his mind. Troops sent for “force protection,” but told not to load their weapons. Genius. National Guard troops slept on floors in SF—Newsom, you good? DoD's Signal messages conveniently "vanish" amid oversight. Relaxation cubes for Airmen: Cost millions. Results: “meh.” Space Force gets $4B boost, still can’t figure out what Guardians do . F-47 funding skyrockets while Navy’s FA-XX gets snubbed. Russia downs Ukraine F-16s… with Swedish help? Yeah. Golden Dome missile defense threatened by a spectrum auction . Wut.

Airmen still stressed. 08:30 – Wingman drones tested.

NORCOM’s moving troops into L.A., Newsom’s throwing a federal tantrum, and the Pentagon is apparently deleting Signal messages like they’re hiding UFOs—because, spoiler alert: they kind of are. We’ve got dive-deep takes on the Air Force’s nuclear glow-up, Space Force’s identity crisis (again), and why the B-1B is still the king of air-dropped “nope.” Also, if you ever wanted to know how Norway hijacked a U.S. bomb mid-flight or why Gavin Newsom thinks he's still in charge of something—this one’s for you. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Northcom’s Task Force 51 activated for L.A. deployment—because of course it is. Governor Newsom throws a legal hissy fit over National Guard federalization. The Pentagon’s Signal messages mysteriously vanish. IG says: “We’ll look into it… maybe.” DoD admits to 70 years of UFO gaslighting. Classic. The B-21 Raider may need backup. The Air Force is nuclear-hungry post-New START. Norway guides a U.S. bomb to target mid-flight, because NATO bros trust each other now. Beale AFB trades spy planes for robot warbirds (CCAs). Space Force beefs with Elon Musk… because of politics, not rockets. The B-1B turns 40 and still slaps. Jared gets nostalgic and misty-eyed. Trans ban leads to removal of Space Force Colonel Brie Fram—cue Twitter warfare. RAND warns: Indo-PACOM drone swarms are coming. So… maybe fix that. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro + San Diego training summit shoutout 01:05 – Task Force 51 heads to L.A.; 2,000 National Guard on the move 02:10 – Newsom cries “unlawful!” over federalized National Guard 03:00 – Deleted Signal messages under Pentagon IG investigation 03:45 – DoD helped spread UFO conspiracy theories (yep, really) 04:30 – Air Force gears up for post-START nuclear mission 05:15 – CCAs get their own experimental ops wing at Nellis 06:00 – Norway guides U.S. bomb in joint strike test 06:45 – Beale AFB transitions from U-2s to CCAs 07:15 – B-1B turns 40, still delivering high-speed hate 08:00 – WWII airman’s Support the show Join this channel to get access to perks: HERE Buzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Collabs: Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLete CardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADY Danger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY DFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY Hoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY Kill Cliff - Pro...…

Aaron, Jared, and Trent are done pretending like your DMs are cute. This episode is a tactical nuke on all the dumbass questions that keep clogging our inboxes like an MRE-induced constipation crisis. Are you 25 and feeling “too old”? Shut up. Asking if you should delay shipping because your runtime is 0.3 seconds off? Delay your dreams forever, why not. Unsure whether you should be a PJ, CCT, SR, or join the FBI to fight aliens with the CIA? We’re not your career counselor, Karen. This is the one-stop, soul-crushing episode you’ll be angrily timestamping and rage-sharing with your overthinking wannabe operator buddies. We cover: Magical age limits and why the pipeline doesn’t care about your birth year Why your “peak interest” is spelling itself out of selection What training volume actually means (spoiler: you’re not doing enough) The truth about SpecWar lifestyle, hot teammates, and why Air Force has the hottest dudes AND best hotels Oh, and yes — we talk about “Hot Kyle.” Again. 🔥 Key Takeaways: If you’re old enough to ask if you're too old, you’re old enough to shut up and ruck. Passing the IFT once isn’t special. Passing it exhausted, multiple times a day, is the baseline. No one cares about your backstory. Pick a job. Any job. And stop writing novels in our DMs. Treading water is the secret sauce. Who knew? AF SpecWar = world travel, SOF missions, 5-star TDYs, and elite-level eye candy. Delaying shipping “until you’re ready” is code for “I’ll never go.” If your dream job requires a needle and you faint at the sight of blood, maybe skip PJ. Blood of the Covenant > Water of the Womb. Bonus lesson on misquoted proverbs. ⏱️ Timestamps (YouTube + Podcast): 00:00 – The Pettiest Opening Ever 02:00 – Favorite Partners and Tactical Fashion Tips 05:00 – "Am I Too Old?"

Jared dives into the Pentagon’s latest week of insanity: $10.8B in fraud? Check. Hypersonic missiles making a comeback? Check. A free Qatari plane that’s somehow costing $400M to modify? Check. And that’s before we even get to the Air Force’s new anti-ship missile flex, transgender cadet policy chaos, and the absurd SpaceX-White House pissing match. Oh yeah—Space Force nostalgia? F-47 cockpit speculation? Missileer cancer rates? Welcome to another episode of “Who’s Driving This Thing?” The answer is: no one. Absolutely no one. 🔥 Key Takeaways: NATO Supreme Commander: Now with five jobs, zero chill. $10.8B in Pentagon fraud = “Not that much” but also a ton . F-47 NGAD is the Raptor’s hot younger cousin—hopefully cheaper. SOCOM still moves faster than Big Blue when it comes to acquisition. Air Force’s new QuickSink missile is terrifyingly effective. 40% of missileers possibly affected by cancer risk. Read that again. Transgender cadets possibly banned after receiving full academy education. Qatar gifted a 747… we’re spending $400M+ to fix it. What. Space Force vs. Congress vs. Trump vs. Musk.

Send us a text Strap in, nerds. This episode is Peaches, raw and unfiltered—no Aaron, no Trent, no buffer. Just one man, one mic, and 46 minutes of Combat Controller origin story , featuring: childhood trauma via Lethal Weapon , a trifold pamphlet that somehow convinced him to join the Air Force, and a fratricide incident that definitely wasn’t in the recruiting video. If you've ever wondered how a 5’4” kid with a soccer background, a VHS tape, and a chip on his shoulder turned into a JTAC legend, mentor, podcaster, and actual military boogeyman—this is it. Plus, why leadership isn’t sexy, why “white carding” is a war crime (almost), and why service to others is still the hardest flex. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Got recruited by a trifold PJ brochure and a cargo-strapped TV. Swapped to Combat Control mid-Hell Week—because the cadre gave one PowerPoint presentation. Operation Medusa: got nearly lit up by an A-10 during a fratricide incident caused by a campfire. Survived being blown up three times , a chute malfunction, and a helicopter crash—because why not. Weapon School taught him that “white carding” is ruining our future fights. The JTAC mission isn’t going away. You’re just not that important. “Peaches” came from his last name, and now you’ll never forget it. Branding, baby. The real flex? Service.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text It’s another beautifully chaotic episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, and today we’re launching straight into the bureaucratic bonfire. Jared's back with updates so wild you’d think the Pentagon was drunk texting Congress. From billion-dollar GPS launches to PFAS exposure going prime time, we’re diving headfirst into drone dread, six-gen fighter delays, Space Force spending black holes, and the VA disability floodgates cracking wide open. Also: A WWII hero finally gets his due, Canada's prepping for WWIII by 2028, and NATO’s still hoping its members hit 2% defense spending...by 2036. Meanwhile, GPS going dark could cause global chaos (shocker), and everyone’s pretending we’ll somehow counter Ukraine-style drone strikes with... what, PowerPoints? 🔥 Key Takeaways: Pentagon delays Navy’s fighter so Air Force can chase F-47 dreams. W. General Kane: “Innovation or bust” at the AI summit. CENTCOM, AFRICOM, and SOCOM swap out leadership like it’s Fantasy Football draft day. Ukraine’s drone game is savage. Ours? Still in beta. New AFSOC enlisted leader Freeman replaces Chief Green—who’s... under investigation. Cannon AFB and the 185th get leadership love. Why this made news? Who knows. Space Force drops $4B on launches and flexes GPS muscles while budgets burn. PFAS cleanup will cost $9.3B, but brace for the disability claim tsunami. Canada prepping for war by 2028. Hope they bring snacks. A GPS blackout would end civilization. Probably. Cool cool cool. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Atakaleet gear discount shoutout 01:00 – Gen.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text Strap in and put your outrage pants on, because this Ones Ready Daily Drop is pure Pentagon chaos. Jared drops a firestorm of updates faster than a drone swarm over Belgorod. NATO wants 5% GDP? Greenland’s back on the menu? Pete Hegseth skips Ukraine for brunch in Brussels? And oh yeah — $38 MILLION for a child development center that could’ve bought an entire gated suburb in Vegas. We hit drone warfare’s brutal reality check, the baffling state of U.S. air defenses, and why letting China buy farmland next to our missile silos is somehow still legal . Spoiler: It shouldn’t be. This episode is fast, furious, and fired up. If you're not yelling at the sky by the end, check your pulse. 🔥 Key Takeaways: NATO wants 5% GDP defense spending. U.S. wants brunch. Greenland is now a missile defense outpost. Let that sink in. Ukraine drone strikes = genius. U.S. defenses = “yikes.” $38M for a military daycare… because gold-plated juice boxes? Operation Spiderweb flipped the script on Russia's bombers. Foreign-owned farmland near military bases — still a thing. WHY?! Space Force is broke, but missile tracking satellites? We got those. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Daily Drop intro + Operator Training Summit hype 01:10 – NATO spending: Pete Hegseth’s D-Day tour and Ukraine sidestep 02:20 – Greenland joins the Golden Dome defense network 03:00 – Drone drama: Who's actually winning Operation Spiderweb? 04:00 – DOD civilian workforce + border security weirdness 04:30 – Michael Duffy confirmed for Pentagon acquisitions 05:00 – Transgender service member policy under review 05:30 – Gen.

We’re talking about a $1 trillion spendathon featuring: cutting cybersecurity staff during peak cyber threat season, trying to mass-produce drones in 24 hours with foreign parts we don’t make, and senior leaders treating AI like it’s witchcraft. You’ll also get the inside scoop on how our Space Force is flexing with rapid GPS launches (kind of), why cutting Air Force Academy faculty could kneecap future warfighters, and which senator is still obsessed with moving Space Command for no tactical reason. PLUS: 🧠 AI resistance from boomers 📉 Education cuts that make zero sense 🚀 “Golden Dome” missile defense in name only 💦 And 12 hours in a pool of suffering with AFSW studs (that YOU can join) It’s military bureaucracy meets high school cafeteria food fight. Buckle up. 🔥 Key Takeaways: $1T DoD budget coming in hot…with nothing actually solved CISA: Let’s fight cyber warfare with…1,000 fewer people AI in the Air Force = old heads saying “Get off my lawn!” AFRL and Ohio are teaming up to do drone things smarter than the Pentagon Redlining for E-7s is still a thing, so don't screw it up after you promote Academy education quality is circling the drain as 100 faculty get cut Drone warfare is the new normal—if we can make our own parts “Let’s move Space Command” — Why?

The Pentagon’s trying to win hearts and minds in Somalia with airstrikes, Space Force is low-key getting circled by Russian sats, and we’re hoping AI can save Indopaycom’s wargames. Spoiler: it won’t. Jared dives into all of it — including the Thunderbirds doc that actually slapped (yes, really), privatized base hotels, and a new Kunsan commander who’s literally cleaning up her husband’s mess. There’s also a raw take on the mental health industrial complex and why adding more psychologists might not fix what’s broken. Unfiltered. Unscripted. Possibly unhinged. This is the military news you should be getting, but definitely won’t from Public Affairs. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Shangri-La Summit? More like Shangri-La-la-land — we’re not stopping China with vibes. Africa strikes doubled… but we’re still not solving anything. SpaceX is saving Space Force's ass one GPS bird at a time. Public Affairs left Jared hanging — AGAIN. AI in war games? Cool story. Let us know when it actually wins a fight. The Thunderbirds doc is cinematic crack (but where’s the love for maintainers?) Privatizing base hotels sounds good… until your room has black mold.

In this brutally honest episode, Aaron and Jared break down the rise, stall, and redemption of one of the most talked-about Special Warfare candidates to come through the prep pipeline. You’ll hear about what it’s like to crush PSTs and still struggle, the lessons of humility when leadership doesn’t think you’re ready, and why “doing everything right” sometimes still ends with you getting dropped. But guess what? That doesn’t mean you’re done. This episode’s about embracing failure, owning the pain, and building back with twice the fight. If you’re preparing for A&S and think heart alone will get you through, press play. You’re gonna need more. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 💀 You can crush PSTs and still get dropped 🧠 Special Warfare selection doesn’t care about potential—it demands performance 🛑 Rylan got told “No.” Then “You’re not ready.” Then “Still no.” 💡 The difference between being trainable vs. being ready right now 🔁 Second chances come—but only if you’re humble enough to deserve them 💬 Real mentorship requires honesty, not just motivation 🥵 A&S is about pressure, not perfection 🧭 You are not entitled to success—earn it every damn day ⚔️ Leaders don’t pick the best—they pick who can survive with the team 🔁 Ego kills.

In this episode, Aaron, Trent, and Peaches go full scorched earth on the real MVPs of military recruiting… overbearing parents. You know the type—rolling into recruiter offices like it’s a job interview at Deloitte, trying to “negotiate” their precious child’s dream career in the Air Force. If you think your 18-year-old can’t speak to another adult without backup, this one’s for you. We’re talking about enabling, entitlement, and how the “helicopter generation” is raising drones that can’t function without WiFi, Starbucks orders, or their mom in the waiting room. Also covered: fighting pro MMA fighters at bars, roasting fake gangsters, and figuring out if Tupac was actually a theater kid. Yes, really. 💥 Recruiters aren’t lying to you – Your ASVAB score just sucks. 💥 Your kid isn’t special – If he needs you to talk to the recruiter for him, maybe basic training isn’t the move. 💥 Parents are the Problem – The real generational curse? Moms negotiating AFSCs like it’s a mortgage. 💥 Prepare the Kid, Not the Road – Life is hard. That’s the point. 💥 Recruiting ≠ Head Hunting – You’re not getting drafted into the NFL. Chill. 💥 Stop Blaming the Military – Maybe your kid just isn’t cut out for it. 💥 British Ninja Sword Bans? – We go global with this one. Seriously. 💥 Tim Kennedy Would Destroy You – And he wouldn’t even spill his coffee. ✅ Like if you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a Facebook parenting group. 💬 Comment if your mom still makes your appointments (you coward). ⭐ Leave a review so the algorithm knows we’re better than that other mil-podcast. 🛒 Grab some merch and check out our membership at OnesReady.com 📬 Send this episode to a parent who needs to hear it—but only if you’re ready for Thanksgiving to get awkward.

He’s the intel officer that made it through JSOC, the 160th, and now West Point without once becoming a PowerPoint nerd with security clearance delusions. In this episode, we dig into his warrior-scholar journey—from nearly drowning in a flight suit during selection to launching the Havoc Journal and mentoring cadets who think Platoon is a recruiting video. We cover everything: JSOC mythos, combat intel screw-ups, the Rangers' OPSEC paranoia, mentoring Gen Z cadets with TikTok attention spans, and what happens when your daughter accidentally drops a no-strike target’s name over a monitored call. You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You’ll probably get flagged by the NSA. 🔥 Key Takeaways: How Charlie nearly failed selection because of a buoyant flight helmet—and why he refused to quit. What it's really like to work intel inside JSOC and the 160th . Why the Rangers are more scared of OPSEC violations than combat. The origin story of Havoc Journal and how it became the literate grunt’s favorite blog. How West Point cadets are smarter than we were—but still need a “bull elephant” mentor to stay on track. What Call of Duty and Predator drone feeds have in common (hint: team bonding). Why trust is everything, and how an imagery guy named Smitty saved an entire air mission with a gut call. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro and “we swear he’s the smart intel guy” 01:30 – Charlie’s military lineage and why he joined 05:00 – JSOC family tree and childhood revelations 08:30 – West Point cadet trends and “the military caste system” 13:00 – Getting humbled in Green Platoon 18:00 – Intel guy vs. underwater harness test (spoiler: fail) 22:00 – Why 160th included him in real ops 28:00 – Trust, Smitty, and a 75% landing risk 33:00 – Havoc Journal origin story 38:00 – OPSEC horror stories: Ranger edition 43:00 – Mentorship and why Gen Z is gonna be just fine 50:00 – Advice for future leaders: “Get in the damn box first.” 59:00 – Final thoughts and where to find Charlie’s work Support the show Join this channel to get access to perks: HERE Buzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Collabs: Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLete CardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADY Danger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY DFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY Hoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY Kill Cliff - Pro...…

In this episode, Jared and Aaron go full live-reaction mode to Netflix’s Thunderbirds documentary, expecting to roast some high-speed sky dancers… but end up with a full-blown redemption arc, complete with G-locks, dumb call signs, and some real leadership lessons. They question if the show is harder than combat, mock staged B-roll, and coin the term “Swag Maintainer,” all while secretly (and not-so-secretly) falling in love with the team. This isn’t just about airplanes doing tricks—it’s about pride, sacrifice, pain, and the power of not sucking when it counts. Bonus points if your call sign isn’t “Primo.” 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🧠 “Building the team from scratch” is a myth. Stop the Olympic tryout cosplay. 💀 3.2% casualty rate over 70 years—flying ain't safe. 🧻 Primo gets grilled in every debrief. It hurts. We’ve all been there. 🤯 Thunderbirds training is more intense than most people think—especially when your blood tries to leave your brain. 🛫 The visuals? Unreal. Netflix flexed harder than the pilots. 🦾 Maintainers are the real MVPs. Shoutout to Knapp and the E-dogs. 🎓 Threat = Great call sign. Primo = Not so much (until the end). 🧼 The flight doc has way too many jobs. 💔 G-locks, lost pilots, and real pain—this doc hits hard. 💬 Even cynical vets get emotional. That means something. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & Thunderbirds setup 00:45 – Netflix copyright roulette begins 02:00 – “Accident rate?” and G-lock talk 04:00 – Thunderbirds = America’s aerial skydancers 05:20 – Tight suits and tight teams 08:00 – “Building the team” myth-busting 10:00 – Certification never fails?

Jared’s back with a full-frontal assault on the newest batch of DoD clownery: airframes that are being “upgraded” before they even exist, moving programs that still don’t move anything, and bonus cuts that would make a finance troop cry in DFAS-approved tears. We’ve got everything from Russia testing nuclear air-to-air missiles to the Space Force getting 3% of the budget while being told to dominate orbit. The E-7 still isn’t here, China is casually infiltrating American data systems, and the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program might bankrupt us before it ever flies. Meanwhile, the military’s entire PCS and EFMP system is straight-up FUBAR’d, and CardoMax is the only thing holding the line. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🪦 Army’s Old Guard places 260,000 flags at Arlington. Respect where it’s due. 🇬🇧 U.S. secures 100-year lease on Diego Garcia from the UK. Didn’t even know they owned it. 🛜 National Guard runs Cyber Yankee to prep for real-world infrastructure hacks. 🤖 DoD wants “ small AIs ” now. Translation: ChatGPT made them nervous. 🚛 Moving system still broken. EFMP clearance times now longer than a damn deployment. ✈️ Air Force upgrading the F-47 ... which doesn’t even exist yet. 💣 B-52s to Spain, just in case Russia forgets what deterrence looks like. 🛑 Boeing’s E-7 delays have Jared foaming at the mouth (again). 💸 Tax-free bonuses proposed .

In this spicy no-ads-needed episode, the Ones Ready crew tears into the mind-numbing chaos that is the DoD’s budgeting incompetence. From canceled bonuses to SkillBridge chaos and the eternal mystery of why military uniforms fit nobody, this is your front-row seat to the clown show that is Pentagon-level “planning.” Also? If you thought complaining about gear was just a “female” issue, strap in. We’re about to tell you why literally everyone from PJs to SEALs has been modifying crap for decades—and no, it’s not the patriarchy, it’s just government contracts. Plus, the AC-130 gets its flowers, JC’s got Overwatch, and somehow we talk about dental X-rays and slings made from Pelican hooks. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Pentagon budgeting is a bureaucratic black hole. SRBs? Gone. SkillBridge? Delayed. You? Screwed. No, it’s not “easy” to move money—it’s like trying to rewire a dying mainframe with duct tape and a bad attitude. “Color of money” doesn’t mean green. It means legal nightmares, earmarked funds, and misused millions. Everyone modifies their gear. Cry harder. Buy better. Females aren’t being singled out—EVERYONE’s body armor sucks. Riggers are the unsung heroes of the force. Sandbags? Custom sling setups? Hook your bros up. AC-130 gunships: still the most comforting white noise in combat. Yes, you’re different after years of service.

Jared returns with another savage rundown of everything broken in military bureaucracy—from the $18B PCS debacle to the Air Force accidentally playing bumper cars with drones mid-flight. We’re talking Space Force funding so bad it’s practically space homelessness, transgender policy whiplash, B-21 bombers being bought like Costco bulk snacks, and a DoD so addicted to credit it’d make Congress blush. Add in China flexing its missile game and our response being “eh, maybe 145 bombers will fix it,” and you’ve got today’s briefing. This episode’s got radar bombs, hurricane hunters, lost civilian jobs, and a new Air Force Secretary who hopefully doesn’t suck at graduation speeches. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 📦 PCS program gets another overhaul—because setting fire to $18B wasn’t enough . 💔 Over half of military spouses hate PCS moves. Welcome to the suck. ✂️ DISA slashes 10% of its workforce… because who needs secure comms anyway? ✈️ Air Force might buy 145 B-21s. No worries, it’s only the price of a small country. 💥 Minuteman III ICBM launch reminds enemies (and Congress) we still got the juice. ❄️ Alaska’s getting a new training center—virtual murder in the snow, coming 2029. 🎓 New SecAF to speak at USAFA graduation. Fingers crossed it’s not a snoozefest. 🌪️ Hurricane Hunters are back to fly into hell for science. Mad respect. 🇮🇷 F-15s to Diego Garcia for Iran flexing. Power projection 101. 🛸 F-16 hit by drone in training. Not Ukraine. Arizona. 🚫 Space Force gets 3% of the DoD budget. That’s not underfunded. That’s criminal. 🛰️ NGA & Space Force try to not step on each other’s ISR toes. 🧾 Military IDs now count as Real ID for travel—cool, but about time. ⚖️ House Dems drop a bill to protect transgender troops. 🖼️ 2,000 museums are free for military families.

Jared unleashes on everything from the sketchiest Air Force One replacement idea ever (thanks, Qatar) to Golden Dome missile pipe dreams and the absolute circus that is Cyber Command’s latest identity crisis. We’re also sending ICE to Marine bases, cutting 14% of Space Force civilians (brilliant), and relying on $26 million to keep Reserve pilots in the sky. Oh, and if you thought privatizing base lodging was gonna save anyone money—LOL, you’re adorable. All this while the Air Force plays catch-up with drone integration, and Netflix somehow makes the Thunderbirds look cost-effective. Welcome to another day in the Pentagon’s magical clown tent. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🛡️ Golden Dome Missile Defense: $1.75B and three years to protect… Canada? 🎖️ Afghanistan withdrawal finally under review. No accountability yet, but hey, panels! 🧠 Cyber Command wants to cosplay as SOCOM now. Cool idea, bad execution. 🪖 20,000 National Guard troops might be tasked with immigration enforcement. Neat. 🌊 Joint U.S.-Philippine drills in the South China Sea = “Hey China, back off.” 🔐 ICE agents on Marine bases after Nellis gets breached by a tweaker. You can’t make this up. ✈️ Qatari 747 as Air Force One? Sure, let’s just roll the dice on a potentially bugged jet. 🤖 Combat drones testing this summer. Sexy toys, but cognitive prep still MIA. 💸 Air Force Reserve is $26M short. Get in line. 🐗 Selfridge gets the F-15EX—say goodbye to the A-10s, boys. 🌀 Privatizing base lodging: higher rates, lower morale incoming. 📉 Space Force loses 14% of civilian workforce. Who needs experts anyway? 💣 B61-13: Apparently we still name nukes like it’s a Final Fantasy sequel. 🎬 Thunderbirds on Netflix.

From billion-dollar contracts imploding to Airmen stuck in retirement limbo, it’s clear nobody’s steering this defense dumpster fire. Cyber Command wants to be SOCOM now (because that worked so well before), troops can’t move because the PCS fairy ran out of money, and SpaceX is somehow our last hope in space. Also: PFAS water, political drama, and Congress failing military families… again. If you like your military updates with a side of rage and real talk, you’re in the right TOC. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🍿 Pete Hexeth goes from DoD to NASCAR grand marshal. Sure, why not. 💾 Cyber Command wants to be SOCOM… but cyber. 🚚 $18B moving contract fails harder than a 3-level on their first TDY. 💸 Retirement and separation orders? Paused.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text Buckle up, Ones Ready fam, because this episode is a gut-punch of raw truth and unrelenting grit. We’re sitting down with Drew Outstanding (@drewoutstanding on X), a badass Army vet who went from slinging Applebee’s two-for-20s to slaying in Iraq, only to get sucker-punched by the DOD’s “safe and effective” COVID vaccine mandate. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t safe, and it damn sure wasn’t effective. One day after the jab, Drew was paralyzed, thrown into a medically induced coma, and diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. He spent six months as a human vegetable in the VA, drowning in his own saliva while bureaucrats played CYA. But this guy? He’s not just surviving—he’s thriving, hitting extreme sports, speaking truth to power, and making sure the world never forgets the COVID clown show. With Peaches and Jared dropping their signature sarcasm, this episode is a middle finger to the machine and a battle cry for resilience. Don’t miss it, unless you’re cool with Big Pharma running your life. Key Takeaways: The Mandate Mess: Drew’s story exposes the DOD’s vaccine mandate as a reckless gamble that left him paralyzed and fighting for his life. “Safe and effective”? More like “shut up and comply.” Grit Over Everything: From a coma to scuba diving and sit-down skiing, Drew’s recovery is proof that sheer will can flip the bird to even the darkest odds. No Apologies, No Accountability: The system that pushed the jab still hasn’t owned up. Drew’s on a mission to make sure we never forget the lies and lives wrecked.

Today, we’re talking about how DEI scrubbing went off the rails, the insane amount of Pentagon budget waste, and why owning a Tesla apparently makes you a Nazi now. 💥 DEI Data Dump: – The Pentagon is scrubbing the internet of DEI references like a paranoid ex deleting their socials. Did they think Ctrl-F delete was a good idea? Sure, if you’re trying to erase history. 💥 Budget Cuts, Who Cares About Training Anyway? – The Pentagon’s slashing funds left and right, but sure, let’s keep wasting millions on software that doesn’t even work. 💥 Tesla Nazis? – If you drive a Tesla, apparently you’re an extremist now. Forget the whole “saving the planet” thing—if you’re not driving the right electric car, you’re the enemy. 💥 Standards Keep Dropping: – Because nothing says “warrior ethos” like uniforms two sizes too small and the Air Force pretending everything’s fine. 💥 Recruitment Is Up—But Why? – Gen Z is apparently here to save the military, but good luck when the standards keep dropping to meet recruitment goals. 🔥 Think you're ready for the real talk? ✅ Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think the Pentagon is stuck on stupid. 💀 Hate it?

Classic. We’re talking cancelled bonuses, delayed separation orders, SkillBridge chaos, and the mind-blowing revelation that even the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force got blindsided. If you thought Big Blue had a plan, lol, think again. This isn't normal. This isn't routine. And it sure as hell isn't okay. Jared brings receipts, ETP breakdowns, and a warning to every operator banking on a transition plan that just went up in bureaucratic flames. 🔥 Key Takeaways: The Air Force is out of money—mid-fiscal year. You read that right. Retirement/separation orders are being delayed until further notice if your date is in 2026 or later. SkillBridge? Yeah, good luck out-processing on time. Leadership says, “Manage your expectations.” ETPs (Exceptions to Policy) are only for mission-critical or personal disasters. Convenience doesn’t count. SRBs (Selective Retention Bonuses) for Spec War jobs were CANCELLED—no warning, no backup. Even the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force was kept out of the loop. Wild.

Jared dives headfirst into a flaming pile of Air Force mismanagement, with everything from canceled retention bonuses to space-based missile defense initiatives nobody budgeted for. We’re talking about the Pentagon quietly prepping to boot transgender service members, the DoD admitting it can’t staff enough school counselors, and the Air Force building new ICBM silos because fixing the old ones would just be too easy. Meanwhile, Space Force is trying to juggle in-orbit refueling, satellite sensors, a “Golden Dome,” and stealing 600 Guardsmen — all while Airmen are out here getting ghosted on their bonuses. Oh, and Trump wants to build the “F-55.” Whatever that is. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🚫 Retention bonuses canceled with zero warning. Airmen left holding the bag 🚻 Transgender service members may face forced separation based on medical screenings 🧠 DoD schools are collapsing under the weight of student mental health issues 💣 New Sentinel ICBMs = new silos. The Cold War called, it wants its nukes back 🛰️ Golden Dome? Cool name. No funding 💸 The Air Force: Still broke, still over budget, still somehow buying jets 🧪 In-orbit refueling is neat, but launching new satellites might be cheaper 👮♂️ 600 Guard troops forcibly transferred to Space Force = political firestorm 🛰️ Space-based AMTI sensors might eventually let us ditch aging E-3s 🤯 Trump proposes an F-55 jet. Experts say, “Yeah… that's not how jets work” 💵 3.8% pay raise proposed. Junior enlisted already got theirs—kind of 🛬 FAA air traffic systems are collapsing like a bad Jenga tower 🇷🇺 Russia pokes Estonia. NATO blinks but tracks 🇨🇳 Taiwan tension is rising, again.

In this brutally honest, no-holds-barred episode of Ones Ready, we sit down with Recon Marine, The War Journal author, intelligence community insider, and potential future Ambassador to Afghanistan —James. Freakin’ Sisco. This isn’t your average “rah-rah” war story episode. Sisco takes us deep into the grit and grime of Desert Storm, recounts the absolute hilarity of rolling into combat with Oakleys and Guns N’ Roses, and then slams you into an emotional brick wall with betrayal, loss, and the aftermath of trauma stuffed into a rucksack for 30 years. From saving lives with a handwritten journal to calling BS on the Medal of Honor fame train, Jim serves up reality checks hotter than a desert MRE. He even casually drops that he's running a global risk advisory firm, trying to be Charge d’Affaires to Afghanistan, and working on a freakin’ miniseries with the Marine Corps. This episode is raw. It's hilarious. It's painful. It's human. It's what happens when the mission ends and the real battle begins—with yourself. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🇺🇸 From recon badassery to best-selling author by total accident 💥 Laugh-out-loud chaos and devastating trauma from Desert Storm 🧠 Why therapy might help—but being a decent f***ing friend definitely will 🎖️ Calls out the "Hero Tour" and Medal of Honor ego complex 🇦🇫 Afghanistan: what the maps don't show, and why he wants to fix it 📘 The War Journal literally saved a life—and it's not just a “vet book” 🧢 Mental health isn’t solved with checklists and lobster tail 🧪 Why confidence beats therapy buzzwords any day of the week 🚀 Marine turned diplomat?

Retention bonuses? Gone. Your SRB? Vamoosed. But hey, at least the Pentagon hired a guy from Uber to help us with hypersonics and laser beams, right? From billion-dollar drone dogfights to literal ducks taking down million-dollar F-16s (no, seriously), this episode is a spicy mix of fiscal disaster, misplaced priorities, and hot takes on why the F-47 probably won’t fly before your next retirement ceremony. We hit Pentagon hotline failures (you had one job), Space Force begging for data funds, and some spicy chatter about China’s jets being slightly better than India’s flying museum pieces. Also, there’s a plot to bomb an Army base using drones and Molotovs… because of course there is. If you love chaos, caffeine, and calling out DoD idiocy—this one's for you. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 💸 Air Force cuts all retention bonuses mid-fiscal year. Morale = dumpster fire. 🤖 Pentagon brings in an Uber exec to fix AI, lasers, and hypersonics. This’ll go great. 🐦 A duck took out an F-16 engine. $1.3 million worth of “quack.” 💡 Light-based data links > radio waves for space. Yes, we’re talking lasers now. 🇨🇳 China’s J-10s shoot down Indian Rafales. Don’t panic. Yet. 🛰️ Space Force budget slashed again. Because who needs satellites, right? 📦 Indo-PACOM gear is being pre-staged—because surprise wars aren’t fun. ☎️ Pentagon hotline to Reagan National is dead. Since 2022.

From raiding facility repair budgets to secure the border (bye-bye, AC in Vegas) to an AI tool that’s definitely not Ultron (yet), we hit the military’s greatest hits of misplaced priorities and bureaucratic buffoonery. We cover the Pentagon's latest budgeting antics, DoD AI ambitions (because what could go wrong?), a suspiciously optimistic F-47 timeline, and a childcare crisis that screams, "We love our troops—just not their kids." Add in a Space Force budget tantrum, India's surgical flex on Pakistan, and a friendly reminder that PFAS is still turning your water into poison. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll probably question your enlistment contract. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🧱 Border security gets $1B… at the expense of broken barracks and black mold. 🤖 AI-powered threat prediction sounds cool—until it’s targeting your face. ✈️ The F-47: coming "soon" (read: not a chance in 2025). 🍼 Holloman AFB has no childcare, but thank God we saved $8 on lawn care. 🌍 Space Force wants 25% of the DoD budget. They currently get 3%. Cue the tiny violin. ⚔️ India hit Pakistan with receipts—literally. Satellite images don’t lie. 💧 PFAS is still in your water.

DoD halts gender-affirming care for 4,200 troops—cue the morale discussions no one will have in public. Guantanamo migrant flights cost $21M —but hey, that's cheap compared to one policy failure. Air Force budget in a flat spin : Stop-loss rumors, retirement delays, and nothing’s getting funded. F-35s headed to Japan… unless someone else calls dibs Israeli support via F-15Es gets tactical AF —less than 24 hours from wheels down to weapons hot An Olympian joins WCAP after a near-death experience —because Air Force flex. Cannon AFB slander? Still undefeated. Taiwan flexes HIMARS at China for $165K a pop —straight bargain.

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 paychecks.
