Send us Fan MailRyan is back on Ones Ready with Aaron and Peaches to talk drones, TACP, small unmanned aerial systems, one-way attack, and where small team warfare is headed.Ryan is a TACP officer, Guardsman, and founder of Aerial Employment Group, a company focused on SUAS training, red air support, counter-SUAS training, program development, and helping military and law enforcement teams figure out what drone systems actually work.In this episode, the crew talks about how small unmanned aerial systems are changing the fight, where drones actually make sense for small teams, how TACP units are using SUAS to support JTAC skills, why one-way attack is becoming a major focus, and why the military's drone approval and certification process has to move faster.They also get into the reported Zulu course ruck issue, heavy ruck standards, heat casualties, training risk, ownership, and what happens when events drift away from their original purpose. Ryan gives perspective from the TACP side, including how heavy rucks showed up in the TACP pipeline and why evaluated events need to be tied to real standards.Ryan's company:aerialemploymentgroup.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comGear from ATACLETE:OnesReady.comTrain with us:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:00 - Tasty Gains, ATACLETE, and Operator Training Summit Updates03:24 - Disclaimer for Ryan's Personal Views04:06 - Welcome Ryan Back to Ones Ready05:24 - Ryan's Background and Move to the Guard06:14 - Aerial Employment Group and SUAS Services07:32 - Government Contracting and Expensive Gear08:15 - Low-Cost Drone Tech and Commercial Off-the-Shelf Equipment09:17 - Drone Warfare and Small Team Use Cases09:52 - Drones Are a Tool, Not the Answer to Everything10:37 - ISR, Team Support, and Who Should Fly Drones12:00 - Quadcopters vs. Larger Group Two and Group Three Drones13:01 - Transition to the Zulu Course Ruck Discussion15:13 - What Happened With the Zulu Course Ruck?16:10 - TACP Instructors and the Zulu Block Two Link17:00 - Reported 10-Mile Ruck Standard and Load18:49 - First Summer Class and Heat Casualty Reports19:23 - Medical Coverage and Student Paramedics20:46 - Heat Conditions, Uniforms, and Safety Decisions23:03 - What Dry Weight Means in Rucking23:39 - Ryan's TACP Schoolhouse Ruck Experience25:41 - Evaluations, Standards, and Protecting the Process27:22 - Training Drift and Leadership Decisions28:00 - What Do You Tell Students After an Incident?29:17 - Owning Bad Decisions as a Leader29:55 - When to Call Off a Training Event31:10 - Ranger School Rope Story and Extreme Ownership33:11 - Parents, Students, and Today's Connected Pipeline35:29 - Why TACP Did Heavy Rucks37:00 - Does This Standard Apply to Every AFSPECWAR Career Field?38:16 - Parent Involvement and Pipeline Communication41:26 - Time, Emotions, and Letting the Schoolhouse Respond43:47 - Accountability Without Cancel Culture46:27 - Medical Planning and After-Action Reviews49:17 - Back to SUAS and TACP Drone Use51:15 - TACP as ACC's One-Way Attack Lead52:00 - How TACP Units Are Using SUAS Now53:20 - ACC, AFSOC, and SUAS Program Ownership54:42 - SUAS Programmatics and Airframe Certification56:00 - Blue UAS, NDAA Systems, and FPV Drone Risk58:16 - Building and Flying Non-Standard Drone Systems59:08 - Frequencies, Jamming, and Ukraine Drone Lessons01:00:00 - Stop Being Platform Specific01:01:20 - Certification, Currency, and Drone Training Problems01:02:22 - Final Thoughts and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Send us Fan MailPeaches is back with the May 20 Daily Drop, and this one's got everything: shrinking bonuses, carrier problems, Iranian escalation, NATO chaos, and the Pentagon throwing half a billion dollars at counter-drone tech.The United States Army keeps pushing force transformation while Europe braces for more U.S. troop withdrawals. Poland is openly stressing about losing American presence—and the billions that come with it. Meanwhile the United States Navy says the plumbing drama aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford was exaggerated, while the new Boeing MQ-25 Stingray finally moves toward deployment. Then the United States Air Force cuts reenlistment bonuses, grounds the entire Northrop T-38 Talon fleet after another crash, and keeps testing rapidly deployable special operations aircraft built for the next fight.Overseas? Iran is setting up control over the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. intelligence says mines are already in place, NATO accidentally shot down a Ukrainian drone over Estonia, and everybody keeps inching closer to a larger regional problem.Bottom line: the future battlefield is moving faster than the bureaucracy trying to manage it.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 Tasty Gains & OTS Updates 02:00 Las Vegas OTS? 03:00 More U.S. Troops Leaving Europe 05:00 Why Poland Wants Americans to Stay 07:00 Army Transformation Hits Resistance 09:00 Legacy Equipment vs Modern Warfare 11:00 USS Ford Plumbing Drama 13:00 Boeing MQ-25 Stingray Cleared for Deployment 15:00 Super Hornets Landing on Iwo Jima 17:00 Air Force Slashes Reenlistment Bonuses 21:00 Why Bonuses Actually Disappear 24:00 Northrop T-38 Talon Fleet Grounded 26:00 AFSOC's Deployable Skyraider Concept 29:00 Pentagon Drops $500M on Counter-Drone Systems 31:00 Pete Hegseth Reviews Military Legal System 33:00 Donald Trump Eyes Iran Again 35:00 Taiwan Becomes a Negotiating Chip 37:00 Iran Tightens Grip on Hormuz 39:00 NATO Shoots Down Ukrainian Drone 41:00 U.S. Finds Mines in the Strait 43:00 Final Thoughts

Watch online: https://youtu.be/uvAyxlmpBdk We spent two days in Waco, Texas, inside the L3Harris facility where the Sky Raider II International™ is built. From the beginning, where an 802 Air Tractor enters the production line until it rolls out as Air Force Special Operations Command's newest airplane, the OA-1K Sky Raider II. We dive into what it takes to turn a crop duster into a precision-strike and ISR platform capable of operating from austere environments with only a two-man crew and 6,000 pounds of ordnance. Exclusive access to the production line, the weapons systems, and the people who build and fly it.

Send us Fan MailPeaches sits down with legendary A-10 attack pilot "Won" Bier—and this one is equal parts war stories, aviation nerd-out, and straight-up calling BS on billion-dollar defense decisions.Fresh off Operation Epic Fury, with A-10s once again doing what everybody swore other platforms could “totally replace,” Won breaks down what Sandy missions, combat search and rescue, and real close air support actually look like when people's lives are on the line. Then it gets spicy.Why is the Air Force “saving” the A-10… with no real funding behind it? Why is AFSOC dropping billions on aircraft nobody asked for? And why do the people actually getting shot at still keep asking for the Hog?Won doesn't sugarcoat it—budgets, politics, ego, procurement… it's all in the blast radius.Bottom line: every time they try to kill the Hog… reality drags it right back into the fight.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 "Won" Bier Is Back 02:00 Retirement… Kind Of 04:00 Watching Epic Fury From the Sidelines 06:00 Dude 4-4 & Why Sandy Matters 09:00 What a Sandy Actually Does 13:00 Rescue Mission Commander Explained 17:00 Why the A-10 Was Built for This 22:00 Mark One Eyeball Beats Screens 26:00 Why Other Fighters Struggle Here 31:00 The A-10 “Extension” Is Smoke 35:00 Saved… But Not Funded? 39:00 The Pilot Manning Problem 43:00 Why Parts Are About to Hurt 46:00 OA-1K—Who Asked for This? 51:00 $40M Crop Duster?! 55:00 Why JTACs Still Want the Hog 58:00 High-Low Mix Is Dead 01:02:00 World War II Lessons Still Matter 01:05:00 Final Thought—Save the Sandy

Send us Fan MailPeaches, Trent, and Aaron sit down with Doug—and yeah, this one pokes some egos.Doug breaks down the truth about Army Special Forces, the Guard vs Active Duty debate, and why a lot of dudes are lying to themselves about what actually matters. From getting bullied on old-school forums to building a career in Special Forces, Doug lays it out: most of what people think about the pipeline, the lifestyle, and even “elite performance” is either misunderstood or straight-up wrong.They dive into culture differences between AFSOC and Army SOF, the reality of mentorship (hint: it wasn't always pretty), and why today's generation might actually be better than the one that came before it—if leaders stop being lazy.And then Doug drops the hammer: overtraining is dumb, ego will wreck you, and the pipeline isn't impossible—you're just making it harder in your own head.If you're chasing this life, stop romanticizing it.

Send us a textPeaches and Trent break down the growing fallout around Gen. “Fat Tony” Bauerfeind, his short tenures at AFSOC and the Air Force Academy, and why leadership failures don't happen in a vacuum. From berating cadets in locker rooms to misreading SOCOM priorities and alienating donors, staff, and subordinates, this episode walks through how ego, insulation, and ignoring the chain of command can wreck organizations fast. The conversation expands into general officer culture, why the Army and Marines produce different leaders than the Air Force and Navy, and how credibility is built—or destroyed—by shared hardship. Add in a side discussion on AI in cockpits, human-machine teaming, pilot override authority, and why trust still matters more than tech, and you get a classic Ones Ready mix of hard truths, humor, and uncomfortable accountability.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and sponsor chatter 02:00 OTS Alabama registration reminder 04:30 Fat Tony, AFSOC, and short command tours 07:00 USAFA leadership complaints and cadet treatment 10:00 Berating subordinates vs fixing the chain 12:30 Why yelling at the bottom never works 15:00 Flying authority, CV-22 incident, and Q-3 fallout 18:30 Why cadets aren't the problem 21:00 SOCOM priorities vs DEI messaging 24:00 How leaders misread their environment 27:00 Fragile ego and insulation at senior ranks 30:00 Army and Marine leadership pipelines contrasted 34:00 PT credibility and leading from the front 37:00 National Guard DC shooting and Purple Heart criteria 41:00 Weapons carry, chambered rounds, and training gaps 48:00 Super Bowl flyover and airpower optics 54:00 AI in cockpits and auto-eject concerns 58:30 Human-machine teaming and pilot-trained AI 01:01:20 Closing thoughts and wrap-up

Send us a textBuckle up, buttercups—Jared's back in the Ones Ready team room, dishing out yesterday's DoD drama because the PAO couldn't update today's headlines. Hegeth's memo: stop being bureaucratic wimps, buy American drones fast—excessive caution is the enemy. Joint air drills with B-52s flexing on North Korea; AI saving lives in mass casualties; SOCOM slashing Skyraider buys in half, likely budget tight. Jared throws shade at AFSOC's PAO for dodging his interview ask, calls out China's South China Sea bullying flop, cheers Senate's A-10 rescue (thunder lives!). Wraps with cyber fails, Turkey's F-35 snub (beat it, nerds), and pushing for service members' right to repair gear without contractor scams. Tired of bland military news? This is your sarcastic, straight-talk wake-up from Ones Ready—no apologies.Key Takeaways:- Hegeth's drone memo: Stop being cowards and buy American expendables ASAP—excessive caution is the real enemy.

Send us a textWhat do you get when you mix scarlet berets, dive school lies, and a belt company that quietly shames your Amazon nylon webbing? 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.

Send us a textIt'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?

Send us a textWelcome back, peasants. 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.

Send us a textIn today's Daily Drop, Peaches wades through 20+ pages of Pentagon memos so you don't have to—and the headlines are as wild as you'd expect. From the DoD accelerating AI and electronic warfare for SOF teams (because robot war is here), to the Pentagon trying to fire every transgender troop in 30 days (seriously), it's another day in America's defense soap opera.Also: the Space Force is debating whether orbital refueling is even worth it, even though it sounds like the coolest sci-fi thing ever; the B-52 radar upgrade blows past budget (shocker); and the Air Force finally admits the CV-22 Osprey might never hit full capability again (gasp). And yes, the crew debates which generation would actually win in an all-out war cage match—Gen X or the Greatest Generation?

Send us a textIn today's cerebral Daily Ops Brief, Peaches breaks down the Defense Department's latest dumpster fire: whether to park Space Command's shiny new paradigm shift in Colorado or Alabama.

This ain't your polished AFN brief—this is the real rundown, straight from the Ones Ready bunker. Spoiler: if you love taxpayer-funded crop dusters, British police overreach, or beard policies held together by ETP duct tape—you're in for a treat.From the Panama Canal to Star Wars-era missile defense, the DEI purge of Maya Angelou, and the ongoing saga of “Fat Tony” Bauerfein, Peaches' on one today. We're talking about $2B aircraft that couldn't win a dogfight with a Pelican, the kind of “malicious compliance” that gets classics deleted from Navy libraries, and how shadow banning is the new way to say “you're winning.”

In the next episode of our new Academic Arsenal series – focused on NPS students' defense-relevant research – host Eric Czaja speaks with two U.S. Air Force senior pilots in the defense analysis program whose examination of amphibious aircraft could offer an innovative solution to logistics challenges in the Indo-Pacific. Trident Room Podcast host U.S. Army Maj. Eric Czaja has a conversation with NPS Department of Defense Analysis students U.S. Air Force Maj. Bobby Strain and U.S. Air Force Maj. Tim Marti. This episode was recorded on August 31, 2024. Maj. Bobby Strain is a U.S. Air Force senior pilot with more than 2,450 flying hours in the C-5M and KC-135R/T. A 2011 ROTC graduate of the Colorado School of Mines, he has flown missions worldwide, including combat missions in support of Operations Enduring Freedom, Resolute Support, Inherent Resolve, and Freedom's Sentinel. Maj. Tim Marti is also a U.S. Air Force senior pilot with more than 2,000 hours flying the U-28 and other various AFSOC aircraft, including combat missions in Operation Inherent Resolve. Together, Strain and Marti have authored a joint thesis entitled “Airpower Beyond the Runway: Amphibious Aircraft to Enhance Agility in INDOPACOM.” Their thesis explores how seaplanes, specifically amphibious aircraft, can support the U.S. Joint Force while also creating challenges for adversaries in the Indo-Pacific. The study explores the limitations of current assets and the advantages of utilizing seaplanes in two fictional scenarios. Utilizing a mixed methods qualitative/quantitative approach to compare seaplanes against various platforms – including aircraft, ships, boats, and submarines – the study showcases the seaplane's unique advantages due to its speed, range, and access to remote locations. The study concludes with a series of recommendations for the DOD to inform decision-makers of the potential for investment in amphibious aircraft, and suggests courses of action to validate the requirement. ----------------- The Trident Room Podcast is brought to you by the Naval Postgraduate School Alumni Association and the Naval Postgraduate School Foundation. www.npsfoundation.org For comments, suggestions, and critiques, please email us at TridentRoomPodcastHost@nps.edu, and find us online at nps.edu/tridentroompodcast.

Today's Story: Fuel Efficient Technology

We did a contracting episode a few weeks ago where we aired out a few grievances mostly focused on how strength and conditioning coaches in contracted roles with the military are treated. In that conversation we acknowledged that we have limited experience with contracting, and we were open to having an expert come on and set the record straight.  As it happens, this week's guest is exactly the kind of expert we were looking for. Chris Larkin is LMR Technical Group CEO and Cofounder and his background covers enlisted and officer service in Air Force Special Warfare and extensive involvement in military human performance in multiple different roles. Chris spent 28 years total in the Air Force as an enlisted Combat Controller and Special Tactics Officer, starting to advocate for military human performance initiatives even before commissioning. He served as the first Squadron Commander at the Special Tactics Training Squadron and helped establish the Combat Athlete Program (which pre-dated SOCOM POTFF) working with AF Research Lab and USAFA Human Performance Lab. He had HPO specific facilities built at the STTS and 23 Special Tactics Squadron – some of the first built in the DoD and even ran one of the first ever Human Performance Symposiums (bringing in industry, academia, and other military units to help solve HPO problems). He wrote his thesis at the Joint Advanced Warfighting School (JAWS) on “Combat Fitness a Concept Vital to National Defense” and was an Operational Squadron commander when POTFF came to AFSOC and even deployed HPO staff into Afghanistan to expedite the recovery process. His credentials include a bachelors in Exercise Science, Master Fitness Trainer, ACSM Exercise Leader, and USA Triathlon Coach. He's also an accomplished athlete in his own right. He ran Division 1 Cross Country and Southwest Texas State University. He has represented the Air Force in downhill skiing, triathlon, pentathlon, and Ironman - including 3 Ironman finishes. And he has 3,000 parachute jumps – including numerous demonstrations at events including NFL, MLB, NASCAR.

In this compelling episode of the Ones Ready Podcast, we're joined by Lt Col Megan O'Rourke, who shares her extraordinary journey to the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). Beginning with her decision to join the Air Force at the Air Force Academy, inspired by a family visit and a desire to serve post-9/11, Lt Col O'Rourke's path is marked by resilience and determination. She candidly discusses her initial failure in pilot training, her transition to a navigator, and eventually her pivotal moment at an Air Lift Tanker Association conference, which led her and her husband, also in the Air Force, towards AFSOC. Lt Col O'Rourke reflects on the challenges of navigating a dual military career, the importance of embracing new opportunities, and the role of perseverance in her career. She delves into the unique aspects of serving in AFSOC, the tight-knit community it fosters, and the rewarding nature of its missions. Despite the challenges, including the tough decision-making regarding family and career, her passion for the mission and the people in AFSOC shines through. This episode not only explores the professional journey of a dedicated Air Force officer but also touches on personal growth, the impact of pivotal decisions, and the importance of storytelling in the military community. Whether you're a current service member, a veteran, or someone considering a military career, Lt Col O'Rourke's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.

Episode Summary: In Episode 132 of the Aerospace Advantage, Humans Are More Important Than Hardware: SOF Truth #1, John “Slick” Baum chats with longtime AFSOC pilot Col Sarah Brehm, veteran defense leader Mr. Jim “Hondo” Geurts, and AFSOC Special Tactics Officer Lt Col Steve Cooper about the United States Special Operations Command's core values, what they call SOF Truths. These tenets have defined the culture of SOCOM since 1987, which means they've connected special operators across different service components for generations—and this includes Air Force Special Operations. The first SOF Truth declares that “humans are more important than hardware.” However, given that technology permeates today's battlefields more than ever, what does this really mean? To this point, how does the Department of Defense emphasize the importance of our human capital when the budget is geared toward the procurement of new hardware? We also explore how this ideal applies to the broader conventional force.

Before there was Air Force Special Tactics, there was Chief Master Sergeant retired Wayne Norrad. Chief Norrad started his career before the Air Force knew exactly what Combat Control was going to be and ended his career as the Second AFSOC Command Chief, and the accepted Godfather of what we know Special Tactics to be today.  Chief Norrad is the definition of the word "legend", which is why we asked him to come on and tell us his story; it was so amazing we had to break it into 2 parts! Huge thanks to Chief Norrad, we truly appreciate his impact on Combat Control and Air Force Special Tactics as a whole!

Welcome to the Do Hard Things Podcast with your host Jay Tiegs, Are you ready to amplify and improve your life? Then you are in the right place. On this podcast we have unfiltered conversation with inspiring people who take on challenges and share with us, the wisdom from their journey. We talk about how doing hard things adequately enable all of us to deal with life's struggles and challenges and ultimately improve the quality of our lives. In this episode, we talk about finding direction with Andrew Beattie from Azimuth X.  Andrew Beattie is an Air Force veteran (AFSOC), Air Traffic Controller, and founder of Azimuth X, a leadership and management training and coaching company. Over the years, he struggled with working for and listening to experiences of bad organizational leadership and management.  Andrew enrolled in countless courses and read countless books to learn more about the respective fields. Eventually, at 18, he had his first management position and started to gain experience. Combining what he learned, his experiences, and finding great mentors, he could piece together the reasons, so many people were having these bad experiences with leaders/managers. It boiled down to two main things: Lack of training and what courses were taught. Andrew's mission is to move people in the right direction on their leadership and management journeys through proper instruction of time-tested methods, building structure, and continuing education. With his methods, he has built effective and efficient organizational cultures, teams, and individuals.If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Today's Story: Final Turn for the Doolittle Raiders

So, you wanna live the life? I'm hearing "be a PJ" - what an honor to sit down with Mr. Aaron Love to learn about his tenure as a PJ in the USAF. This episode was a lot of fun, learning about what drove him down the military path, what connected him to the PJ world, the motivation behind it, as well as a brief look into the life. We also look at resources to break down misinformation about the AFSOC world and how to get plugged in. @amlove212000 https://onesready.com/ @the.vanguard.project Sponsors: Eberlestock - call Tucker at the Retail Store (208) 424-5081 Black Rifle Coffee // code 'VANGUARD' 20% off Mountain Primal Meat Co. // code 'VANGUARD' for 15% off Bravo Concealment // code: 'TheVanguard10'
