Ep 520: Air Force Gate Rage: Stop Whining, Start Leading
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Ones Ready MBRS Only
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!Trent’s back on the mic and absolutely done with anonymous complainers, lazy leadership, and generals who think PT is optional. From the “Creech gate crisis” to government shutdown panic, he’s torching every excuse in sight. If you’ve ever thought “they should just open another gate,” buckle up—Trent’s got news for you.
He dives into why the Air Force burns people to the ground, how our “greatest resource” lip service is complete nonsense, and why generals need to stop hiding behind waivers and start doing pushups. It’s raw, hilarious, and unfiltered commentary on the military circus we all know too well.
Stick around for stories of GTC abuse, political delusion, and one final truth bomb about your toxic social media habits. Spoiler: it’s not the world—it’s you.
This is Ones Ready at its most savage—no filters, no excuses, no PowerPoint slides.
