With battle-tested operators from across USAF SPECWAR and far-reaching web of recruiters, subject matter experts, and friends, there are no questions we can’t answer- and if we can’t, we know exactly where to look.

MBRS 97: Posting Your Dream Online Won’t Save You—Performance Will
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Ones Ready MBRS Only
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!This members-only episode goes off the rails in the best way. Peaches and Trent start with social media hopefuls broadcasting their Special Warfare dreams—and break down why visibility without performance can come back to haunt you in the pipeline. From authenticity vs cringe, performers vs non-performers, and why teams eventually protect their own, the conversation rolls into accountability, medals, general officers, Mark Milley, CQ Brown, and why shiny ribbon racks don’t equal integrity. Toss in meme culture, Delta legends, fitness across generations, alcohol, Shot Show chaos, gun safety, and why the military still self-corrects faster than the internet thinks. Messy, funny, real—and exactly why this one stays behind the paywall.
