Ones Ready Ep 527: Zero Plan, Maximum Impact: Peaches & Trent Break Down the Best OTS Yet
Peaches and Trent are back in the team room—no script, no filter, and somehow their best Operator Training Summit yet. Coming straight off the Nashville event, they pull the curtain back on what really happens when 40 candidates, a handful of coaches, and a mountain of gear collide in one turf-covered facility.
Peaches dishes on how sleeping indoors, training for 11 hours in the pool, and running the dreaded 10-ups turned chaos into confidence. Trent talks logistics, lessons learned, and how every OTS somehow tops the last. Together they lay out what’s coming next—Vegas, Europe, and maybe a few surprises along the way.
Then the gloves come off as they shift from pool decks to policy: leadership gone soft, PME that teaches nothing, and a culture allergic to accountability. Peaches and Trent don’t rant—they coach the Air Force on how to get its edge back. This one’s equal parts after-action report and open challenge to anyone who’s lost their fire.
