Peaches is joined by Kris Tomes for a deep dive into what actually makes candidates successful at selection—and why trainability beats talent every time. Fresh off the Las Vegas Operator Training Summit, they break down what they’re seeing over and over: guys showing up with ego, bad habits, and internet knowledge instead of solid fundamentals. From water confidence and underwaters to running mechanics, mobility, rucking, and stress management, this episode explains why OTS isn’t about getting smoked—it’s about building real capability. If you want honest feedback, better prep, and fewer surprises in the pipeline, this is the roadmap.

Peaches flies solo and tackles one of the laziest takes on the internet: “recruiters always lie.” Using UK Royal Navy ads, Air Force gyms, and real recruiter workloads, this episode breaks down why recruiting videos show the best version of the military—and why that’s not deception, it’s marketing. Peaches calls out bad-faith criticism, explains what recruiters actually juggle day to day, and reminds would-be candidates that patience, context, and ownership matter. If you think one Instagram reel defines military life, this episode is for you.

This episode isn’t about tactics—it’s about power. Aaron sits down with Drew Johnson to break down why local government, community accountability, and individual responsibility matter more than anything coming out of Washington. From growing up poor in Appalachia to running for Nevada State Treasurer, Drew explains why big government is inefficient, innovation dies without IP protection, and national security starts at the state level. They hit mining, rare earth minerals, China stealing tech, financial literacy, crypto, Bitcoin, and why trades beat college for most Americans. If you think posting online counts as civic engagement, this episode is going to check you hard.

This episode isn’t internet drama—it’s about honor and accountability. Peaches breaks down a disturbing stolen valor case involving Mark Forester, a U.S. Air Force Combat Controller killed in action in 2010. This isn’t résumé inflation or tough-guy storytelling—someone allegedly used altered images of a KIA hero to impersonate him online. Peaches walks through the evidence, the Forester family’s response, and why this crosses a line that cannot be ignored. If you think stolen valor is harmless, this episode will reset your moral compass fast.

⏱️ Timestamps:

Peaches flies solo and unfiltered, taking you on a no-holds-barred ride through shady OSI tactics, the SIG M18 controversy, and why the Air Force might just toss a junior enlisted under the bus to protect billion-dollar contracts. He drags lazy PT culture through the mud, skewers the “extra 800 meters will kill us all” crowd, and asks the real question—are new policies actually helping prevent suicides, or is it just more PowerPoint theater? From dark humor to brutal honesty, this is Peaches in full “crusty retired PJ” mode—raw, opinionated, and asking you for answers.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• OSI: the Air Force’s FBI with a side of questionable ethics.
• The SIG M18 debacle—accident, cover-up, or convenient scapegoat?
• How billion-dollar contracts can outweigh one airman’s career (or life).
• Lazy PT culture vs. “two extra laps will kill me” hysteria.
• Why no policy or CBT will ever replace human connection in suicide prevention.

⏱️ Timestamps:
00:00 – Peaches solo: no plan, no filter
02:06 – SIG M18 accidental discharge or something darker?
07:36 – Billion-dollar contracts and convenient scapegoats
11:53 – Peaches vs. OSI: the Nellis saga
18:15 – Would the Air Force really throw an airman under the bus?
20:30 – Suicide prevention: real solutions vs. checkbox programs
28:30 – The two-mile PT test panic
34:32 – Why “extra 800 meters” isn’t your real problem
39:04 – Is Peaches just a crusty retiree who won’t let go?

Just Peaches in the team room for a straight-up Daily Drop—no guests, no fluff, no pretending this is anything other than a military news brain dump with commentary. He rips through the latest Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force headlines, calls out public affairs stories that say nothing, breaks down AI hype in the DoD, reacts to V-22 updates, joint exercises, NATO tech, recruiting wins, Space Force moves, and why interoperability is still hard as hell. This isn’t polished. It’s not scripted. It’s one operator reading the news, connecting dots, and telling you what actually matters. If you want clean narratives, look elsewhere. If you want context and blunt takes, this one’s for you.

Trent flies solo and takes a flamethrower to nostalgia—inside the military, inside Air Force Special Warfare, and inside your own head. What does “make it great again” even mean? When was it great… really? Trent breaks down why every generation swears their pipeline, their suffering, and their era was the peak—and why that thinking quietly poisons progress. From GWOT legends to pipeline myths, cadre trauma, and emotional memory, this episode is a reality check for anyone yelling from the sidelines. Legacy matters. Fallen brothers matter. But if all you’ve got is “back in my day,” you’re not helping—you’re just loud.

Peaches goes full America-First-energy breaking down the 2025 National Security Strategy — AKA 33 pages of political chest-thumping turned into a spicy Ones Ready rant. Forget the bureaucratic fluff: border security, nukes, China, DEI dumpster-fires, NATO freeloading — Peaches calls it exactly how every warfighter wishes they could say it in briefings. If you think you’re informed because you skim headlines on social… think again. Grab a snack and prepare to get smarter (and maybe a little pissed).
