Ep 487: Big Beautiful AFSW Pipeline updates for July 2025!
After six months of silence, the Ones Ready crew finally unleashes a no-holds-barred breakdown of the looming AFSPECWAR pipeline overhaul—and spoiler alert: it’s a total mess. From gutting water confidence to pushing combat dive into career purgatory, this episode exposes how leadership is sacrificing operational readiness for… spreadsheets.
Jared, Aaron, and Trent torch the new “land-based” selection model, the sketchy 12-week “Common Skills” course, and the alphabet-soup plans for MGFE (whatever that means). The team unpacks why this isn’t just dumb—it’s dangerous. If you think removing water-based assessments won’t ripple downstream into mission failure, think again.
Whether you’re a pipeline hopeful, a team room veteran, or someone who actually cares about how elite operators get made—this is the one you don’t skip.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
💦 Water Confidence, RIP: Moving to land-based selection ignores the job’s amphibious demands.
🤡 Common Skills Chaos: 12-week course sounds good… until you realize it’s not resourced, staffed, or even defined.
🧠 Creatine and Conspiracies: Tasty Gains gets a nod, but the real brain fuel here is unfiltered truth.
🎩 Pipeline Decisions Made by People Who’ve Never Worn a Ruck: Career field managers weren’t even in the room.
🫥 MGFE = Maybe Get F*cked Eventually? No one knows what it means, and that’s the point.
🐸 Mission Before Metrics: Pushing dudes to teams faster doesn’t mean they’re ready.
🎭 Everyone’s Fighting the Last War: JTACery is glorified while global access gets ghosted.
🎥 Hollywood Couldn’t Script This Stupid: The pipeline plan reads like satire—but it’s real.
