Ep XXX: AFSW Attribute - Integrity
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Ones Ready MBRS Only
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!This episode tackles the most important—and most misunderstood—attribute in Air Force Special Warfare: integrity. Aaron and Peaches break down why integrity isn’t about being perfect, looking good, or avoiding trouble—it’s about owning mistakes immediately, telling the truth when it costs you, and keeping your word when no one is watching. From ND ownership, DUIs, and pipeline consequences to combat decision-making, gray-area ethics, and trust inside elite teams, this is a blunt reality check. You can’t fake integrity, and once it’s gone, nothing else matters. If you want to be trusted with lives, secrets, and missions, this is where it starts.
