Subscriber-only episode Send us a text Welcome to the most line-stepping, career-defying, rule-dodging episode in Ones Ready history. We’re joined by none other than Jonathan Harmon—PJ-turned-CRO, Red Wings rescue mastermind, tactical genius, and part-time aircraft hijacker (allegedly). From failing swim tests and skydiving with squirrels in Florida, to running the Combined Air Operations Center during Operation Red Wings, Harmon proves one thing: you don’t need a six-pack or clearance to change the entire course of a war—you just need audacity and a spreadsheet. We’re talking real-deal combat ..read more

16h ago
Send us a text It’s April 4th, and Peaches is bringing you the news that makes commanders panic and E-4s roll their eyes. Today’s drop hits everything from AFRICOM possibly getting stuffed back under EUCOM (because geography isn’t real), to a $2 billion gunship that looks like it flew straight out of Planes (2013). Meanwhile, the Air Force is grounding pregnant aircrew, the Space Force is begging for a bigger allowance, and a fired general’s name is blasted across the DoD like a bad Yelp review. Add in NATO drama, orbital warfare threats, and a bunch of space startups flexing on legacy contrac ..read more

Send us a text Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where your BS gets exposed faster than a fake pipeline story at selection. In this banger of an episode, Aaron, Trent, and recurring badass John Mollura (former NASA engineer turned keynote speaker) dissect the real reason you keep procrastinating—and spoiler alert—it’s not your schedule. Turns out, your “time management problem” is actually a fear problem. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being average in front of other people. If you’re stuck in the cycle of “I’ll start tomorrow,” congrats—you’re not lazy, you’re just lying to y ..read more

Send us a text It’s April 3rd and Peaches is back with a fresh pile of Air Force, Space Force, and “what are we even doing anymore?” news. From commanders whining about drone threats and bureaucrats pushing Zero Trust Architecture™ (whatever that means), to Ukraine intel shifts, grounded pregnant pilots, and six B-2 bombers pulling up to the Red Sea like it’s a boss level—this Daily Drop has it all. Oh, and in case you missed it: the DoD is still trying to lay off people with pay, we’re throwing F-35s into the Middle East blender, and China is officially the “leaked” top threat—because apparen ..read more

Send us a text On this episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, Peaches dives into the swirling madness of global defense headlines and calls out the bureaucratic circus behind the scenes. From satellite refueling ops and simulated dogfights in space, to fentanyl diplomacy and generals crying over spectrum auctions, it’s all here. Plus, the Air Force is giving away F-15s and leaving Indo-PACOM hanging until 2026. Oh, and U.S. government officials are still using Gmail for “sensitive” talks. What year is it? Meanwhile, Canada is mad about F-35s, the Philippines just got a $5.6B fighter jet hookup ..read more

Subscriber-only episode Send us a text Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where sarcasm is a love language and tough love is free. 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 ..read more

Send us a text It’s April 1st, and no—this isn’t an April Fools joke. Peaches is back behind the mic for the Ones Ready Daily Drop, breaking down your Air Force and Space Force headlines with the perfect mix of sarcasm, salt, and a little bit of “are we really doing this?” We’ve got the Space Force talking satellite refuels, the Pentagon trying (again) to make combat standards gender-neutral, and junior enlisted finally getting a raise worth talking about. Also: a new biblical Joint Chiefs nominee, the F-47 getting ghosted from the budget, and one more T-38 almost going full kamikaze over DC ..read more

Send us a text Welcome to your March 31st Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down the military’s biggest headlines with the subtlety of a frag grenade. In today’s rundown: Japan’s military just hit four-star status, the VA is paying people to ghost their jobs until September, and the Air Force is dangerously close to reenacting Final Destination with a T-38 and a Delta jet. But the real MVP? Retired General Michael Hayden, who apparently thinks a public Signal chat is “top secret.” Bless his heart. ? Key Takeaways: ? Japan Grows Up – Four-star command equals serious Indo-Pacific intent. ? VA Pul ..read more

Send us a text Welcome to the Ones Ready Podcast, where we don’t sugarcoat war, trauma, or government healthcare. In this jaw-dropping episode, Marine combat vet Casey West joins Aaron to share a story so absurd it’ll make your recruiter cry. Two-time Afghan deployment? Check. Aerial gunner turned motorcycle gang enforcer? Yep. Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer after the VA spent 8 years handing him pills and calling him crazy? You bet your ass. But here’s the twist—Casey didn’t die. He flipped the middle finger to his diagnosis, ditched chemo, and walked his own path toward healing through ..read more

Send us a text Welcome to the Ones Ready Podcast—where professionalism is DEAD. If you’re here for balanced discourse and hand-holding, GTFO. This episode is a masterclass in pettiness, Pentagon chaos, and why your internet hot takes are garbage. ? AFSOC loses its worst leaders & we celebrate with fireworks. ? Internet trolls came for us… but forgot we have receipts. ? “Integrity” at BMT? Lol, just eat your contraband protein bars, nerds. ? How a bunch of washed-up veterans (us) still get more done than half of DoD. This one is RAW, unfiltered, and fueled by internet tears. Don’t like it ..read more
