Send us Fan MailAaron, Trent, and Peaches are back in the team room, and this one starts with Tasty Gains, UFC at the White House, soccer, Nitro Circus, sketchy bungee jumping, and somehow ends exactly where it needed to: Air Force Special Warfare pipeline standards.The crew gets into a reported Zulu course ruck event involving a 12-mile ruck at a 15-minute pace with a ruck weighing well over the standard 45 pounds. That turns into a bigger conversation about assessment and selection, training standards, instructional drift, normalized deviance, and why “war is hard” is not a good enough reason to create dumb training events.They also talk about the difference between expectations and standards, why evaluated events need to have a real purpose, why students should not be crushed just because previous generations got crushed, and how pipeline events can drift away from their original intent over time.Also covered: UFC 250, America's 250th, US soccer, Travis Pastrana, Dwayne Hackney's Air Force Cross story, Weapon School patch night, fighter pilot culture, and why Peaches probably does not need to do a 117-pound ruck to prove anything.If you are training for Air Force Special Warfare, waiting to ship, currently in development, or just interested in how military training standards should actually work, this episode matters.Check out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comTrain with Modern Athlete Strength Systems:OnesReady.comOperator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comJoin the Ones Ready membership for early access, members-only episodes, and exclusive merch.Chapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:05 - Tasty Gains Nootropics and Creatine Gummies02:42 - Modern Athlete Strength Systems and AFSOC Prep04:03 - Ones Ready Membership and MBRS-Only Episodes05:21 - Welcome Back With Aaron, Trent, and Peaches05:30 - UFC 250, the White House, and Fat People07:28 - US Soccer, Paraguay, and World Cup Energy10:58 - Nitro Circus at the White House11:11 - UFC Weather Rumors and Fight Delays12:25 - Drunk UFC Weigh-Ins and Bit or Real?14:24 - Getting Fooled by Satire Online15:34 - Trent Threatens Aaron's Tattoos16:02 - Bungee Jumping Disaster and Vacation Risk18:21 - Show and Tell Goes Off the Rails20:00 - Faces of Death, LiveLeak, and Old Internet Trauma22:19 - Air Force A&S and Zulu Course Updates22:50 - The Reported 117-Pound Zulu Ruck24:20 - Why Exceeding the Standard Is Not the Standard26:39 - Weapon School Patch Night and Fighter Pilot Culture28:24 - What It Means to Be a Weapons Patch30:20 - American Pie and Fighter Pilot Roll Call Chaos33:10 - Institutional Drift in the Pipeline34:48 - Dry Weight, Helmets, and Student Gear35:10 - Zulu Is Training, Not Selection36:17 - Why 100-Pound Rucks Are Not Smart Training37:53 - When Heavy Rucks Might Make Sense39:11 - This Is Not a Normal Pipeline Standard41:19 - What Should Candidates Train For?42:27 - AFSPECWAR Wait Times and IFT Scores43:14 - Travis Pastrana and Red Bull Madness44:33 - What If You Jump Without a Parachute?46:39 - Dwayne Hackney's Air Force Cross Story48:24 - Vietnam-Era Pararescue Stories49:31 - Weapon School Graduation and Space Force PSD51:19 - Evaluated Events Need a Real Purpose52:07 - Buddy Breathing and Operational Relevance52:30 - OFT Ruck Standard vs. Zulu Course Ruck54:25 - Normalized Deviance and the Monkey Story57:29 - Training Wing, Please Fix This58:31 - 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...

The restaurant business was tough even before COVID-19, but Dave Saylor, owner of Acadiana Café in San Antonio, Texas, believes two crucial ingredients make up the recipe for success.“What's let us prosper and stay in business for 34 years are our employees and our community involvement,” he says.Dave was once an Acadiana employee himself: he started as an assistant manager. Then about seven or eight years ago, he bought out one owner and then the other.Speaking about his employees, Dave is typically no-nonsense. “A lot of times, they bring me tremendous joy. Sometimes they just bring me a lot of frustration,” he says. He credits empathy for leading to Acadiana’s impressively low turnover rate.“Have a little more empathy for employees and understand what they're going through,” Dave says. “A lot of people have personal issues or health issues. If we can find a way to work around those and keep them working, it benefits us and they really appreciate it.”Dave also regularly serves up sizable portions of his second key ingredient for restaurant longevity: community service. Besides working with local churches, he’s put in manual labor for Habitat for Humanity and sat on several local boards, including the local restaurant association.Dave has also served as a go-between for the civilian community and Lackland Air Force Base, becoming an Honorary Commander of the 433rd Airlift Wing and the 37th Training Wing.“There are always opportunities for service — you just have to be open to them,” Dave says. “They'll come find you, or you go look for them.”The COVID-19 pandemic required Dave to tap into another set of skills that he thinks all small business owners need: “flexibility, innovation, and being adaptable.”Dave pivoted as best he could, setting up two new drive-thru lanes. But the situation was still tenuous. When Dave’s bank of 30 years put him on a waiting list just to apply for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan from the Small Business Administration (SBA), he turned to Lendio.“If we hadn't gotten the Lendio loan, we wouldn't be here right now. When we actually got funded, it was like, ‘Oh my God, we're good. We're safe.’ So thank you.”Featured Entrepreneur

Having the desire to fly fighter jets since seeing the movie “Top Gun,” Chandra Beckman became part of the elite group of women who have flown United States Air Force fighter jets.  Chandra started her AF career in ROTC in 1993, the same year the Department of Defense lifted the ban on women flying combat missions, which opened the door for women to fly fighter jets. She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics from Arizona State University in 1998. After a delay due to an unexpected pregnancy, she attended USAF Pilot Training where she earned an assignment to fly the F-15C Eagle, and was the first woman to fly that aircraft as a mother. During her time flying the F-15C, Chandra supported the defense of the homeland through Operation NOBLE EAGLE and flew combat missions during the opening weeks of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.  Following three years flying the F-15C, she was one of only 3 women assigned to fly the first stealth fighter aircraft, the F-117A Nighthawk. During her time flying that aircraft, she deployed in support of security operations to the Korean peninsula, coordinated with media groups to showcase the final F-117 RED FLAG, and mentored school children and Airmen of all ranks. Taking a break from flying, Chandra was stationed in the Republic of Korea where she was assigned to the Combined Air Operations Center. While there she developed and implemented the first Operations Center training program for new personnel and worked jobs in both offensive and defensive combat training roles. Chandra then went on to be an Instructor Pilot at the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program. However, health challenges that had begun while she was stationed in the Republic of Korea finally grounded her from flying.  From 2009-2017, she earned a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Science and held multiple jobs which included: Director of Staff for the 82 Training Wing, an organization with a permanent staff of over 3,000 people worldwide serving a student population of almost 80,000 annually; and Director of Operations for RED FLAG, the organization responsible for establishing the framework to train US and coalition nation members in the world’s most realistic air combat scenarios. Retired from active duty, Chandra enjoys having the freedom to travel the world with her husband and be available for her children whenever and wherever they need her to be. She is a member of the Veteran Advisory Team for the National Foundation for Integrative Medicine and looks forward to helping others in that capacity.
