Currently on the bus to BMT

Yes it took me 2 years to finally write this review. This is the bay far the best tool I’ve had to get ready to succeed. If It wasn’t for this resource I’d would feel nervous going forward with my decision to join the USAF. From running endless miles and enduring grueling workouts, One’s Ready kept me sharp and informed. It’s been a rollercoaster of a ride but I am finally here grateful to be able to sit on this bus to BMT. I’ll make y’all proud! Thanks One’s Ready.

The Ones Ready Podcast delivers an authentic and insightful exploration of Air Force Special Warfare. Leveraging the extensive experience of active duty operators, the podcast covers crucial aspects like physical training, nutrition, recovery, and mindset. The Team Room fosters a community where questions find expert answers, backed by a network of seasoned professionals. It's a valuable resource for those aspiring to become elite Special Operators. Just bear in mind that the views expressed are those of the team and not official Department of Defense policy. Tune in for a firsthand look at the journey from high school graduate to elite warrior.

SNCO episode

I just became a SNCO this year. This episode was def a pivot-setting one for me. It was nice to hear about the struggles I’ve been dealing with from some seasoned SNCOs that I feel. we new to the tier folks are a bit nervous to reveal and talk about these issues with each other. Thanks for the episode.

Ones Ready podcast supplies listeners with extremely valuable information on AFSW career fields and assist candidates by answering any questions or concerns one might have about these career fields. I’m truly grateful for everything they have done to help recruits who want to aspire for AFSW.

Educational and down to earth.

I picked up on this podcast before the summer and have been following it ever since. From the topics they cover to the individuals both hosting and guest speaking, each week can leave you with a new bit of knowledge that you can apply to any aspect of you life. From military to civ, everyone can learn a valuable skill or simply get some motivation you did not know you needed.

The Go To Show

Ex-PJ here and I love what these bros are putting out. I’ve known Aaron for years and he’s always been a source of truth, not noise. Keep sending it fellas!

Informational and entertaining

The amount of information so you can be ahead of the curve when going AFSW is incredible. Onesready team addresses all things SW and if there’s something they don’t know they make sure to host someone who does. If you’re already in the service there’s still so much helpful info to help you just be a better airman and leader. I never miss an episode and definitely repeat more than a handful. #doitforaaron

But, what does the Day to Day look like? Episode 170.
c. romano

Aaron made me do this.

Trent low key scares me. Peaches sounds like a fun uncle. Aaron has potential, just misses the mark a lot, my guy.

A lot of great information given with humor and pure honesty from members that are currently serving in SPECWAR and those that have paved the path before them.

Review

Quick review for the algorithm. Started listening because I was interested in cross training, now I come back every now and t he n to support and pick up some good nuggets on leadership and mindset. Good dudes, great show/podcast. Mad respect for the ones ready crew.

Green Light!

I listen to this podcast because the hosts are quality dudes! Yes, they’re focused on preparing the next generation of AFSPECWAR candidates, but more than that they’re giving quality life advice in a way that works for anyone. -Nate

Ones Ready x Late Night History

The Ones Ready crew are experienced, well-informed, insightful, and most importantly, have great hair (except for Peaches/sorry Peaches). As a history writer, I personally reach out to Ones Ready whenever I have an AFSOC question and every time I get a precise and illuminating response. Aaron appeared on my podcast and he is a stud. He has a wealth of knowledge from his own experience to pararescue history. Trent and Peaches are also class acts. If you’re a young lad looking into a career as a CCT, PJ, SERE, or SR, or if you’re a history nerd like me, this is your number 1 resource. Cheers! -Late Night History

Best Military Podcast

Best advice for anyone looking to join the Air Force special warfare or just the military in general. 10/10
SomerTaffini

Everything you need.

These guys are fantastic when it comes to teaching you everything you need to know before entering into an AFSOC career field. I’m heading into the controller pipeline shortly and this series has been crucial in getting my mind in the right place. Peaches, the CCT, on the show has had so much experience and they always bring on others with just as much. If you want to be an operator, this helps tremendously.
WhiteMike65

Very informative

These guys give the most up-to-date an accurate information about all the Air Force special warfare career fields to help us aspiring to become one of them

5 star content!

Great content, been a nasty girl for 12 years now as an Infantry enlisted dude then 3 years as an officer and was in the process to switch and go TACP. But then I was shot down since I didn’t get the shot. This podcast just reminds me of what once my dreams so I have to walk away. But any young studs out there listen up! Crazy insight on things! Wish I had this back in the day for some of the schools I went to. God bless guys!
