MBRS 86: The Air Force Is Eating Itself (And Aaron’s Got Receipts)
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Ones Ready MBRS Only
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!Aaron flies solo in this Ones Ready Members episode, torching the nonsense and telling it like it is. From the chaos of the new Zulu Course to the never-ending drama of “reform” that forgets reality, he pulls zero punches. He dives into the Schrodinger’s Pipeline paradox, salutes a Chief of Staff who finally gets morale right, and skewers the brass who can’t keep their rank or zipper under control. Then he flips it, getting real about Veterans Day—no virtue signals, just gratitude, honesty, and perspective from a dude who’s lived it. If you’re tired of the sanitized version of the military, this one hits different.
