Ep 506: Air Force Discipline is Broken… and the Army Paid $250K to Lose?!

Peaches and Aaron are back swinging at the nonsense. From Special Warfare’s assessment model to Air Force Academy cadets racking up predatory loans, this episode rips into leadership fails, lazy commanders who hand out paperwork like candy, and the lost art of spot corrections. We go from stories of LOCs, LORs, and mustache games with Rangers, to watching Army football drop a quarter million dollars just to get smoked by Tarleton State. Oh, and Peaches gets dragged through camp in just a towel because Rangers can’t handle beards. Add in college football meltdowns, fantasy league punishments, and some blistering hot takes on what “leadership” actually means—you’ve got a mix of cringe, comedy, and brutal honesty that only Ones Ready delivers.
