Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! This week, Trent sits down with the beard-wielding, strength-slinging savant, Coach Jimmy of Modern Athlete Strength Systems (MASS)—because apparently we still need to explain why doing curls and skipping cardio won't cut it in Special Warfare.Jimmy drops 20+ years of strength & conditioning wisdom (and shade) on everything from why 30-day programs are garbage, to how being “jacked and useless” is an actual epidemic. They dig into MASS's 90-Day Unchained program, the myth of muscle without function, and how neck strength might just save your career and your spine. Oh, and Trent confesses to avoiding deadlifts for half his career—so, there's that.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textIn this episode, Peaches and Trent dive deep into the ever-entertaining world of military bureaucracy, starting with a hot topic: signature block pronouns. Is it inclusivity? Is it confusion? Or is it just another way to keep us all on our toes? They take a comedic detour to the Facebook Airman/NCO page, the unofficial hub for venting frustrations and throwing shade—because where else would we air our grievances?From there, things get spicy as the guys tackle the big picture of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in the military and how it plays out, especially for female candidates in the Special Warfare pipeline. Spoiler alert: it's a mixed bag. But, as always, Peaches and Trent keep it real, breaking down the "controlled chaos" of training and why knowing what goes on behind the scenes is key. The duo also throws in some classic Ones Ready gold: CDCs (do we even need them anymore?), the eternal struggle with boonie hats and unit patches, and, of course, why every new recruit apparently needs a driver's license. Plus, if you've ever wondered why recruiting feels like trying to fill a leaky bucket or why units seem constantly undermanned, this episode's got you covered. Expect laughs, a few headshakes, and some no-nonsense takes on the realities of today's military life!Chapters00:00 Introduction and Discussion of the Facebook Airman/NCO Page03:22 Debate over Signature Block Pronouns10:15 Perceptions of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Military19:23 Challenges Faced by Female Candidates in the Special Warfare Pipeline23:07 Understanding the Controlled Chaos of Training Programs31:24 Accountability and Feedback38:38 Daycare Options for Shift Workers53:03 Requiring Driver's Licenses for New Recruits56:41 Challenges of Recruiting and Training Quality AirmenJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9aFBBZoBcQk8UUN_pO7nDA/joinBuzzsprout Subscription page: https://www.buzzsprout.com/680894/subscribeCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1ReadyATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYThe content provided is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

One hundred men will test today. But only three win the Green Beret. Developing America's Green Berets takes a vision for the future, knowledge of the past, and an understanding of the present. The John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School is the home of both training Green Berets and developing the policy and doctrine our Special Forces operate by. To share the mission of SWCS, Fran Racioppi sat down with Commanding General Brigadier General Will Beaurpere and Command Sergeant Major Lee Strong from the JFK Special Warfare Museum at Fort Liberty, NC. BG Beaurpere and CSM Strong explained how SWCS 2030 will develop a more prepared Special Forces Regiment through the establishment of three Branch Schools for Green Berets, Civil Affairs and Psyops, each under their own O-6 level command. They also break down irregular warfare, why it's important, and how it's complemented by psychological operations; another school being developed through SWCS 2030. Finally they talk recruiting as the GWOT generation of soldiers is retiring and SOF was directed to cut personnel, while enforcing the standard, continuously improving professionalism, and integrating technology and automation into the force. Take a listen, watch, or read our conversation about the past, present and future of SWCS.

Episode Summary:    Retired Navy Captain Dr. Matthew Provencher shares his incredible journey from the decks of the USNS Mercy to the sidelines with the New England Patriots, revealing the profound connections between military orthopedics and sports medicine. His stories take us from the skies he once dreamed of conquering as a fighter pilot to the operating rooms where he honed his skills in orthopedics sports medicine, ultimately shaping the future of musculoskeletal injury research. Dr. Provencher's unique perspective not only discusses his transformative work in developing the Special Forces Tactical Athlete Program but also delves into the global impact of military medicine on orthopedic care. His stories will captivate you, revealing the profound impact of military medicine both in the field and on the homefront.      Feel the ocean's swell as we set sail on the USNS Mercy, where Dr. Provencher once led surgical teams on life-saving missions. He recounts the evolution of these floating hospitals, detailing their critical role in disaster relief and humanitarian aid. As we navigate through his experiences, the leadership lessons gleaned from his tenure resonate with anyone seeking to foster accountability, integrity, and inclusive environments—whether at sea or in any professional setting. The lessons learned extend far beyond the operating room, spotlighting the core values of accountability and integrity that resonate in any high-pressure environment. His accounts of international collaboration and safety-forward medical practices on these ships underscore military medicine's extraordinary capabilities and adaptability.      The podcast wraps up with Dr. Provencher transitioning from the high-stakes world of the NFL to providing second opinions for athletes across the sports spectrum. He reflects on pioneering surgical approaches born from the battlefield that have advanced orthopedic practices, sharing an anecdote involving Coach Bill Belichick that perfectly encapsulates the nexus of military service and professional sports.

Hospital ships such as the USNS Comfort and Mercy play a crucial role in disaster relief and humanitarian aid, highlighting the adaptability of military medicine. Leadership skills honed in military environments, including accountability and creating inclusive workspaces, are invaluable in any professional setting. The evolution of military fitness programs has led to a reduction in injury rates and improved recovery processes, benefiting the broader military and potentially civilian populations. Innovations in orthopedic surgery and treatment, such as the bridge-type repair for tendon injuries and the use of biologics, have been spurred by military medical research. Collaboration between military and civilian surgeons through organizations like the Society of Military Orthopedic Surgeons is critical for advancing orthopedic care and research globally. Military medicine's focus on fundamental training, such as thorough histories and physical exams, is essential for diagnosing and treating injuries when advanced technology is not available. The importance of comprehensive fitness, wellness, and rehabilitation programs in professional sports has roots in military medicine practices.
