This one gets spicy immediately! JMac has been on the podcast a couple times before and the Ones Ready Team couldn't wait to get the most BRO that ever went CRO to sit down again! 

The conversation was filled with fascinating topics that will inspire you to become a better leader. It covered the unofficial nature of the podcast, which adds an element of authenticity and free-flowing conversation. The importance of podcasts in bringing military conversations to the public cannot be overstated, as it helps to bridge the gap between military personnel and the public.

The conversation also highlighted the need for problem-solving and emotional intelligence in leadership, which are critical skills that every leader should possess. The issue of personnel problems in the military was also discussed, emphasizing the importance of leaders and managers in creating a positive work environment.

Furthermore, the conversation delved into the focus on social issues rather than important matters, the stratification of the force, and its impact on competition. The importance of humility and competence in individuals was also stressed, and the need to cut through the madness and lead with common sense was emphasized.

Overall, the conversation was insightful, inspiring, and motivating. It will make you think about your own leadership skills and encourage you to strive for excellence in all that you do.

We checked out the archives and realized that Peaches and Aaron dropped a banger and forgot to release it. Peaches did, Aaron was passable (shout out Aaron Love Hate Club). 

What are deployments really like? It is 99% really boring minutae spiced up with moments of combat and sheer terror. The process leading up to the deployment is a horse of a different color. 

Deployment lines, training cycles, and all the rest of what it's like to deploy not only in the Air Force Special Warfare Career fields but for all the jobs you can do in th USAF!!!

We hope you guys like this one! Leave us questions in the comments!

The Team isn't super pumped with the news. 

From the Air Force Times:

"The Air Force has loosened its restrictions on body fat for new recruits, one of the latest moves to grow the pool of potential applicants amid the military’s recruiting crisis.

In the past, men and women’s bodies needed to be 20% or 28% fat, respectively, to be eligible for service. Air Force Recruiting Service spokesperson Leslie Brown said Monday that benchmark is now 26% for men and 36% for women."

So why did the Air Force make the decision?! And most importantly, how does the team feel about it? Uh, not good.
