Exclusive access to bonus episodes!Let’s be honest—if you roll up to a Special Warfare event with unmarked gear, you’ve already told the cadre who’s quitting first. In this episode, Peaches rips through the basics every wannabe operator somehow ignores: how to mark your fins, booties, and mask so your stuff doesn’t vanish in the pool—or get jacked by the guy next to you. No fluff, no editing magic, just Peaches fumbling through real-world prep like a pro who’s done it too many times to care. He calls out lazy candidates, cheap tape, and sticky-fingered teammates, all while dropping legit pipeline wisdom. Whether you’re heading to the Operator Training Summit or just want to stop looking like a soup sandwich, this is your no-excuses field guide to not being that guy.
