Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman #3 served 37 years in the United States Army and achieved things that are beyond description.

In the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline and beyond, you will be wholly immersed in training every day you show up to work. So, how do we design training? What's the science behind how we train?

We brought on Dr. Preston Cline, founder of the Mission Critical Team Institute (MCTI), to discuss the importance of cultivating and developing instructors in the military. He highlights the challenges of transitioning from operator to instructor and emphasizes the need for humility, curiosity, and empathy in training. Preston also addresses the cultural challenges within the Air Force and the importance of validating instructors with scientific data.

He emphasizes the value of repetition and experience in instruction and the need for job creation and cultivation of NCOs throughout their careers. Additionally, he discusses the impact of the hard life on special operators and the need for honest conversations about long-term effects.

The conversation explores the challenges and opportunities for senior NCOs in providing value and influencing change within the military institution. It emphasizes the importance of flexibility, communication, and understanding the language of officers to accomplish meaningful outcomes. The discussion also highlights the need for humility, continuous learning, and maintaining a sense of humor throughout one's career.

The chapters cover topics such as the challenges of providing value as a senior NCO, working with officers, solving problems for one up and one down, the importance of trust, learning from mistakes as an instructor, and taking responsibility for the hard path.

We wanted to do a deep dive into all things SERE, so we brought on our friend Kortney James, a SERE Specialist, to get down into the nitty-gritty of everything it takes to make it through the SERE pipeline.

Thanks to Kortney for being willing to sit down with us and get you the answers you need to pursue your dream of becoming a SERE Specialist in the Air Force! If you have any questions we didn't cover, head over to www.gosere.af.mil and check everything out!

The Air Force is looking for America's best- not just for Air Force Special Warfare but for the entire Air Force. One of the main questions we get is, "How early should I start training for the Air Force- and what should I do?" Well, as always, we brought on the Subject Matter experts to address just that for Air Force Special Operations hopefuls and everyone across the United States looking to become part of the world's greatest Air Force!

JD Mata and Zach Kinninger are experienced athletes and coaches who went from accomplished Top 25 collegiate football teams to the Special Warfare Candidate Course. While working with the best coaching staff in the DoD at Joint Base San Antonio, their team realized that they needed to go above and beyond to get a higher success rate.

The USAF Special Warfare Pre-Accession Preparation Manual was born from that initial idea. After thousands of man-hours utilizing cutting-edge research and tons of data, the SWCC team was able to field the step-by-step playbook for success in Air Force Special Warfare pipelines and beyond.

At this point, it's a buzzword- but what role is the United States Air Force going to play in the "future fight", or the next conflict? You have questions, we have... a conversation to help you understand your own questions.

While we might not answer every single question you have, we hope we did help you to understand that the only constant is change.

Oh, and we talk about the dive removal, this time with Peaches, which means that we won't get memed over it. We shall see, I guess.

The Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC) is a highly respected military position and rank in the US Department of Defense. The SEAC is the most senior enlisted service member by position in the US Armed Forces. They are appointed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) to advise on joint and combined total force integration, utilization, and health of the force. Additionally, they serve as a spokesperson on issues affecting all enlisted personnel. The SEAC may have varying duties as determined by the Chairman, but typically spends a lot of time traveling throughout the Department of Defense, observing education and training, and communicating with the total force, including active and reserve members, veterans, retirees, and military families. The SEAC's term of service is usually 2 years and coincides with the Chairman's tenure, with the possibility of reappointment.

SEAC and Pararescue Legend Ramon Colon-Lopez is the first Airman to hold that position, as the 4th SEAC, and a leader without equal.

Huge thank you to SEAC CZ for taking the time to sit down with Peaches and Aaron on this edition of the Ones Ready Podcast!

Scott Zastrow was an important part of one of the most important Special Forces Teams that ever was- the Triple Nickel, or ODA 555. The things they did were so legendary that they made a movie about it.

As part of the first Special Forces team that responded to the September 11th, 2001 attacks, Scott was part of one of the most amazing stories to ever come out of the Global War on Terror.

Jay Dorleus was an Active Duty Green Beret who had 20 years of experience in the military. Of those 20 years, 14 were spent in SOF as a Green Beret as an Engineer Sergeant, better known as an 18 Charlie. Jay has learned a lot from his multiple combat deployments and wanted to find a way to help prospective Special Forces Soldiers succeed at selection, in the pipeline, and beyond.

Obviously, we saw a lot of parallels with Jay, so Peaches sat down and talked through all their shared experiences to help you be successful.

Huge thank you to Jay for all his work and willingness to help out the next generation. Make sure to check out his Instagram at Green_Beret_Chronicles and his YouTube channel listed below in the chapter markers.

For all you Green Beret hopefuls, check out Jay wherever you can find him and if you come to your senses and want to try out for Air Force Special Warfare; you know where to find us!

Special Operations Forces use a simple framework to assess, select, train, equip, employ, deploy, and support their force across the DoD. This framework is known as the "SOF Truths".

You may have heard of them before, but in this 5 Part Series, Aaron and Peaches dig down deep to explain what they are, how to apply them, and how to avoid the problems they were meant to solve.

In this episode, we look at SOF Truth V- Most special operations require non-SOF support. From USSOCOM- "The operational effectiveness of our deployed forces cannot be, and never has been, achieved without being enabled by our joint service partners. The support Air Force, Army, Marine and Navy engineers, technicians, intelligence analysts, and the numerous other professions that contribute to SOF, have substantially increased our capabilities and effectiveness throughout the world."

We can't wait to bring you this full series, and we hope you learned something from this one!

In this episode, we look at SOF Truth IV- Competent Special Operations Forces cannot be created after emergencies occur. Directly from the USSOCOM's own literature- "Creation of competent, fully mission capable units takes time. Employment of fully capable special operations capability on short notice requires highly trained and constantly available SOF units in peacetime.

Air Force Combat Controller Jonathan Howard had a very non-standard path from starting in Services at the mortuary to cross-training, to finally living his dream as a Combat Controller.

After a long career of being on a team, Jonathan wanted to find a way to give back to the Combat Control career field and found his way to the First There Foundation.

The First There Foundation (https://www.1stthere.org/) is a passionate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to supporting all Combat Controllers during life’s most challenging moments. We understand the pain of feeling abandoned and aimless and the profound grief of losing a cherished one.

First There Foundation's mission is to offer wide-ranging assistance, covering mental, financial, career, and substance abuse support for the Combat Controller community.

Please check out the First There Foundation and consider donating to this amazing organization.

Special Operations Forces use a simple framework to assess, select, train, equip, employ, deploy, and support their force across the DoD. This framework is known as the "SOF Truths".

You may have heard of them before, but in this 5 Part Series, Aaron and Peaches dig down deep to explain what they are, how to apply them, and how to avoid the problems they were meant to solve.

In this episode, we look at SOF Truth III- SOF Forces Cannot be Mass Produced. Directly from the USSOCOM's own literature- "It takes years to train operational units to the level of proficiency needed to accomplish difficult and specialized SOF missions. Intense training – both in SOF schools and units – is required to integrate competent individuals into fully capable units. This process cannot be hastened without degrading ultimate capability."

We can't wait to bring you this full series, and we hope you learned something from this one!

There are a lot of good reasons NOT to join the United States Air Force Special Warfare career fields, and we have heard all of them. The team decided to get together and make sure you know all facts.

We are really looking forward to the folks that can't read sarcasm and satire and figuring out when we are poking fun. We will help you out- we are making fun of lots of the gripes that we have heard that don't make sense to us.

What reasons did we miss? Drop them in the comments.

In this episode, we look at SOF Truth I- Humans are more important than hardware. Directly from the USSOCOM's own literature- "People – not equipment – make the critical difference. The right people, highly trained and working as a team, will accomplish the mission with the equipment available. On the other hand, the best equipment in the world cannot compensate for a lack of the right people."

Recently the Commander of AFSOC, Air Force Special Operations Command, sent a letter to his chain of command asking for the combat dive school and qualification to be removed from the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline. Specifically affected are Special Tactics Officers, Combat Controllers, and Special Reconnaissance career fields. Obviously, this has caused a lot of flail in the communities.

Aaron and Trent have been tracking this issue since it dropped, but we wanted to get you the best possible information now that the smoke has cleared a little bit.

We are sure that the comments section will be packed with people respectfully discussing their feelings.

Eric Ballester served 20 years in every single combat zone that has mattered since 9/11. From Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, Syria and more unnamed places, Eric served at the highest echelon of United States Special Operations Forces.

As he transitioned off team and started his civilian life, Eric realized he had a lot more left to do, and to give. Eric talks about his problems with transitioning out of the military, his mental health, and finding a new purpose.

And of all the challenges- he chose to be part of a team that will take on the Drake Passage, the most dangerous piece of ocean on the face of the planet. Oh, and they're doing it in a row boat.

Make sure to follow Eric and his team as they take on something that only a handful of people have ever done as they train and prepare to take on this challenge in December of 2023.

Eric Kussin has a story that is going to sound very familiar to a lot of our listeners out there. Eric was a 4 sport athlete, successful in college, and found himself in a high stakes and high consequence world of the NBA and NHL. Everything in his life was going well... until it wasn't.

When Eric realized much too late that a lifetime of trauma and avoidance had come to fruition, he was thrown into a 2 year period of darkness and despair. But, like all good hero origin stories, that was only the beginning, not the end.

Eric was able to get the help he needed and find a way through his darkness, and that led him to Same Here Global. Initially, Eric started "We're All a Little Crazy Here", a 501c3 organization that wanted to connect all traumas to help others find a tribe to help them through it. That evolved into Same Here Global bringing together Athletes, Celebrities, and Expert Practitioners to help all people struggling with mental health issues.

Please check out Same Here Global at https://samehereglobal.org/ and support if you can. We appreciate Eric's willingness to tell his story and his efforts to find new and better ways to help those dealing with trauma.

Pro obstacle course phenom Rachel Watters didn't grow up as an athlete and had no idea she would just happen into the sport later in her life. However, once she did, she was all in, and her record speaks for itself.

We are sure that someone has told you to "find your why" before- because we have said it here on the Ones Ready podcast over and over again. But how do you *actually* get to your why? Is it absolutely bulletproof? Is it the bedrock of your psyche? If it isn't, how can you get there?

Jacob Garel, a Senior Master Sergeant, began his Air Force journey as a Tactical Air Control Party Airman. He later cross-trained as a Pararescueman and spent his entire career at the Moffett Guard unit, the 129th Rescue Wing. In our conversation with Jacob, he shares valuable insights into the Guard's hiring process, your first year at the unit, and how to prepare for deployment. He guides us through the entire gamut of a full career in the Guard.

However, Jacob's story does not end there. When it was time for him to transition out of the military, he utilized skill bridge and became a marriage/family life counselor. He joins Aaron and Peaches to discuss the entire process of transitioning out of the military and pursuing a career as a counselor.

We extend our immense gratitude to Jacob for enlightening us on all things Guard and the diverse career paths available to those who are ready to take the next step.

Operation Allies Refuge, or OAR, was a mission the entire world watched.

As Afghanistan was plunged into chaos, Air Force Airmen were called upon to evacuate more than 100,000 civilians. Leading that mission was Major Courtney "Voovoo" Vidt.

Voodoo sat down with Peaches and talks about arguably the biggest air evacuation in the history of the C17 and the United States Air Force.

Thanks to Voodoo for her service, dedication, and performance in one of American history's most unstable and unsure times.

Col Nick Nichols is a decorated USAF F-16 pilot with seven combat tours, serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He also had the privilege of serving as a Group Commander leading nearly 500 Airmen and was responsible for nearly one billion dollars in military assets.

Nick inherited the drive to be a fighter pilot from his father, a Vietnam veteran flying
F-4s, F-100s and F-16s. His father was tragically killed when Nick was only fifteen years old.

On 11 October, 2018, after 30 years of service to his country, Col Nick Nichols climbed out of the cockpit of his F-16 and into the waiting arms of his wife, Carrie. Two days later, 13 October, marked the end of his military career, and the beginning of a new mission with the Folds of Honor Foundation.

Today as President of Folds of Honor, Col Nick serves our scholarship recipients with
unwavering passion. He is an accomplished public speaker, obsessive hunter, new rancher and brings a wealth of leadership experience to our humble team. He and his wife of more than 30 years, Carrie, treasure time with their children, Hannah, Garrett and Reilly, and never take a single day together for granted.

Please check out foldsofhonor.org and consider becoming a recurring member. For only $13 a month, you can support this righteous organization as they provide scholarships to the families of the fallen.

Meet Dr. Brittany Loney, the mastermind behind the Elite Cognition and Human Optimization (ECHO) program at Core One. As a skilled professional with over 12 years of experience training Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel, Brittany was the first cognitive performance coach embedded within the USASOC Tactical Human Optimization and Rapid Rehabilitation (THOR3) Program. Since then, she has been dedicated to developing and implementing cognitive training programs across SOF, the U.S. national security community, and government sectors. Brittany frequently advises DoD and other U.S. government personnel on how to effectively incorporate cognitive performance principles into training and career pipelines.

Brittany has an impressive educational background, including a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Learning Systems from Florida State University, an M.A. in Kinesiology with an emphasis on Performance Psychology from California State University, Fresno, an M.S. in Exercise Science from Florida State University, and a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Texas State University, where she also played NCAA Division 1 basketball. Her passion for her profession extends beyond the workplace as she enjoys exercising, ultra-running, hiking, paddle boarding, and researching neuroscience, performance, and cognition.

This episode lays the groundwork for everything you need to start mentally preparing yourself for your journey ahead, and some really helpful tools to help you in the moment.

Meet Lt. Col Brian Slade, a former enlisted Army diesel mechanic who later found himself flying Apaches in Afghanistan as part of the global war on terror. He eventually transferred over to the Air Force, becoming an HH60 Rescue Pilot. Throughout his journey, he learned how to cope with trauma and prioritize his mental health by preparing for stressors rather than just reacting to them.

In honor of Men's mental health month, we had the privilege of sitting down with Lt. Col Slade to gain insight into his experiences and learn valuable tools for dealing with life's challenges. Our conversation with him was enlightening and informative.

For those interested in delving deeper into his story, we highly recommend reading Lt. Col Brian Slade's book, "Cleared Hot." You can find it at https://www.clearedhot.info/. It's a must-read!

We extend our sincerest gratitude to Brian for sharing his time and experience with us.

After answering a calling to join the United States Marines in the heat of the Global War on Terror, Jeric Fry embarked on an unreal journey. From his deployments to the most active combat zones our generation have seen to his experience leading one of the most prestigious institutions in the military, his career was nothing short of exceptional.

However, he found himself lost when he decided to step away from the military and reenter civilian life. Jeric realized that he had no direction, no sense of purpose and no calling. That's what led him to Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Through another equally remarkable set of circumstances, Jeric found himself with a new calling- to find a tribe for every single veteran. A way for them to be included, a place for them to find themselves again, and this was the beginning of the Veteran Bushido Brotherhood.

https://veteranbushidobrotherhood.com/ is a site you need to check out and see exactly what Jeric and his project are about.

Have you ever wondered who packs the parachutes for those "cool guy" videos of Air Force Special Tactics team jumping into enemy territory or pilots ejecting from high-speed aircraft? The answer lies with the Aircrew Flight Equipment personnel, also known as "Parachute Riggers." They have one of the most important jobs in the Air Force, ensuring that the parachute opens flawlessly every time.

It's not just operators who are crucial to the mission in Air Force Special Tactics or Rescue Squadrons. We also rely on a large group of Special Warfare Mission Support AFSC's to help us achieve our goals. MSgt Gabe Macias is just one of these professionals, and he kindly joined us on this episode to discuss everything these Air Force Airmen can contribute to a wide range of Air Force Missions.

We are grateful to MSgt Macias for his insights and hope you enjoy this episode.

Changes in Air Force Special Warfare are coming fast and furious. Just recently, we had a podcast with Jarred Taylor where we dove deep into where we thought TACP was going, what fight would be next- and honestly, there wasn't a lot of agreement across the board.

So, naturally, we wanted to peel back the layers of everything we are doing and explain it all to you so you have the absolute ground truth.

We cover a lot of ground here and talk about every change from the first time you talk to a recruiter until you put on a beret. What did we miss? Leave it in the comments!

We are thrilled to have Retired USAF CCT Legend Chief Mike Lampe back for Part III! His career is one that is filled with incredible stories and experiences, and he graciously shared some of his time in the Vietnam War and beyond with us. The rich history of CCT in the USAF and our sister service counterparts would not be complete without the contributions of remarkable individuals like Chief Lampe.

As the saying goes, "we stand on the shoulders of giants," and Chief Lampe is one of those giants. We cannot thank him enough for everything he has done.

The Ones Ready team has been telling you that Air Force Special Warfare Cross-trainees, that is, folks trying to cross train career fields in the Air Force, are even less likely to graduate the pipeline than their first-term airman counterparts. Why? For a million different reasons. Cross-trainees' challenges are immense, from getting their packet together to physically preparing to be an older, more experienced leader in the pipeline.

This week, Peaches and Trent start with a frank message to all you cross-trainees. We keep seeing the same mistakes and are here to help everyone improve. From recommendation letters and your commander's opinion, some real talk about what people are failing, and some clear explanations of expectations for everyone- this episode is a dose of reality for all those thinking about trying their hand at a new job in the United States Air Force.

The mental health stigma in the military has been worn away in recent years- but there is still a lot left to accomplish.

In this episode, we are joined by Steve Nisbet, a Pararescueman and President/Co-founder of Shields and Stripes, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving first responders' and veterans' mental and physical health.

Steve shares his journey as a PJ and his mental health struggles after serving in combat. We dive deep into PTSD and its impact on individuals and their families- and this one gets very real.

Aaron and Steve discuss the stigma surrounding mental health in the first responder and military communities and how Steve and his team are working to break down those barriers through Shields and Stripes. This episode is an inspiring and informative conversation about the challenges of PTSD and the hope that can be found through support and advocacy.

Make sure to go check out Shields and Stripes at shieldsandstripes.org, and if you can donate to this fantastic organization, please do so.

Afghanistan's Hamid Karzai International Airport, or HKIA, was the center of the world's attention following the announcement of America's retrograde from Afghanistan over the course of 2021. The images we saw- desperate civilians throwing children over the wall into the arms of Marines and Airmen. The terrifying images of the aftermath of the attack at Abbey Gate. Videos of desperate Afghanis falling from aircraft in their last ditch attempt to escape the Taliban for anywhere other than Afghanistan. It is a time that has been burned into the brains of all American Service Members.

Recently, Congress started hearing some accounts of what happened over the course of those 4 months. From the breakdown in the chain of command to the lack of support, to the tragedy of losing 13 Americans in a mass casualty event- even 2 years later, this event has captivated the hearts, minds and attention of of the American Public.

Finally, the Pararescue Team Senior Enlisted Leader, Sean, and Team Sergeant, Chris, are here to tell their story of exactly what happened in the lead up to the event, exactly what happened in the most unsure time in all of the Global War on Terror, and the days and weeks that followed.

In the end, 96 Distinguished Flying Crosses were awarded to the pilots, crew chiefs, loadmasters maintaners and support personnel for their support to Operation ALLIES REFUGE. However, the ground team- who were credited with the rescue and movement of tens of thousands of cvilians- recieved far less recognition.

At the time of this writing, the highest medal bestowed on the ground team is a Bronze Star with Valor, and only two of them. The struggle continues at the highest levels to recognize their sacrifices appropriately.

Thank you doesn't begin to encapsulate how appreciative the Ones Ready team is for Sean and Chris taking this time to highlight just how capable, relevant, valiant and professional the Air Force's Rescue Community is- but thank you is the best we can do, and we mean it sincerely.
