Ep 458: I Joined Special Ops Because I Sucked at College: Trent's Story
Send us a textIn this heartwarming, sarcastic, slightly chaotic episode, Trent joins M42 Adventures to unpack 20 years of Air Force Special Warfare—and the wild decision-making process that got him there. Spoiler alert: It all started because he hated being told what to do... so naturally, he joined the military.We dive into what makes someone pursue a path where 90% of people fail, why burning your life down might be the best prep for basic training, and how Ones Ready accidentally became a podcast that survived five years, a global war, and zero profits.This is an episode for the ones who never fit the mold, who failed college but found meaning in uniform, and who figured out that purpose doesn’t come from clout—it comes from hard lessons, late nights, and unshakable discipline. And yeah, maybe a little stubbornness, too.You can find M42 Adventures on YouTube at: https://youtube.com/@m42_adventures?si=FenWAdC7eZKH5GTE🔥 Key Takeaways:Trent went from self-proclaimed “stubborn failure” to special ops instructor by doing the most Air Force thing possible: choosing structure over chaos.Military training pipelines: where 90% fail and 10% are too dumb to quit.“The itch” is real—whether it’s to serve, to suffer, or to find out what you're made of.College was a bust. Basic training was a buffet.Culinary school and special warfare have more in common than you think.Living on base is like working retail and sleeping in the stockroom. Don’t do it.Podcasting while active duty? Totally allowed. Just expect side-eyes from every commander ever.Retirement: Freedom through discipline, baby. Sleeping in is the new OPORD.Still no beard. Still no profits. Still doing it for the tribe.🎯 Call-to-Actions:📢 Smash that like button like it’s a failed ETP📲 Subscribe so we can keep giving you free therapy disguised as military talk💬 Drop a comment if you’ve ever been saved by structure (or the Air Force)🛒 Hit up OnesReady.com for merch that says “I made it through the suck”💣 Join the membership—we're not in it for fame, just freedom and communitySupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

Ops Brief 025: Daily Drop - 10 April 2025 (Frankenjets, Family Day Cuts & Insider Real Estate Scams)
Send us a textToday’s Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast.We’ve got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Iran “just to say hi,” and service members getting offered their jobs back after being kicked out over a vaccine—because yeah, that’s how leadership works now. Oh, and Space Force might finally get to move to Huntsville, so go buy some land before another general does.From Air Force “Frankenjets” stitched together in a garage like military Frankenstein, to “mil-spec” gear that barely meets minimum standards, to ISR flights over the U.S.-Mexico border triggering cartel drone wars—this drop is full of “wait, what?” energy.🔥 Key Takeaways:Programs more than 15% over budget? Welcome to the chopping block. Sentinel ICBMs and Air Force One—your days might be numbered.B-2s deployed to Diego Garcia. Iran? Interpret that however you want.Vaccine holdouts have until April 26 to rejoin the party. About 400 out of 8,000 are biting.Air Force & Space Force canceled family days in 2025. Sorry, your BBQ just got operationally unfeasible.ISR missions on the southern border heating up as cartels start using drones. Special ops guys are getting itchy trigger fingers.“Frankenjet” is real—F-35A rebuilt from two wrecks for $11.7M. Frankenstein would be proud.Mar-a-Lago has had 25 no-fly zone violations this year. Apparently, no one reads charts.Space Force is working with South America to jam drug lords and track satellites. Sci-fi meets Narcos.Huntsville insiders probably already bought the land. Hope you’re not late to the party.Pentagon acquisition process: still slow, still broken, still helping China catch up.AI for defense: test fast or get left behind—but maybe don’t bet the war on ChatGPT just yet.“Mil-spec” just means it meets the bare minimum. You’re not special, Todd.🎯 Call-to-Actions: 🔥 Like this drop? Then like the video.

Ep 457: Dan Hollaway - Patriotism & Paid Protesters
Send us a textThis one’s not for the weak-willed or the Twitter-triggered. We sat down with Dan Hollaway—co-host of Drinkin’ Bros, host of Citizen podcast, and certified “I’ll die on this hill (and you might too)” patriot—for a gut-punching, no-sugar-coating talk about the death of nuance, America’s dumbest political trends, and why your Tesla-hating barista might actually be on Beijing’s payroll.We go full send on:Tax policy idiocyUseful idiots from both sidesAmerica’s unique actually earned greatnessNASA, innovation, and how memory foam > MarxChina’s paper tiger meltdownAnd how our younger generation might just be the salvation we didn’t deserveIt's raw. It’s aggressive. It’s about time someone said this out loud.Also: If you're not willing to kill on your hill, why are you even talking?🔥 Key Takeaways:“We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training” applies to life, politics, and why college sophomores shouldn’t lecture Warren Buffett.America didn’t become great by being “nice.” It became great by creating, innovating, and steamrolling fascism—and it still is.If you think tribalism makes you principled, spoiler alert: you're just lazy.NASA is one of the only good government programs (shoutout to memory foam, CT scans, and space lasers).Paid protesters are real. They clock out at 4pm.Don’t confuse having “opinions” with having “principles.”You’re not oppressed if you can complain about the government on a podcast with zero consequence.China’s collapsing, and TikTok ain’t saving them.Patriotism doesn’t mean nostalgia—it means responsibility.Want to fix the country? Start by holding the people you vote for accountable, regardless of party.🎯 Call-to-Actions: You already know what it is: 🧠 Think for yourself 📲 Like, comment, subscribe 💥 Drop a review if this episode lit a fire under you 🛒 Hit up OnesReady.com and rep what you believe 💣 Join our membership—because passive citizenship is for clownsSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...
