Send us Fan MailForget the Instagram highlight reels—Peaches and Aaron are dropping the unfiltered, step-by-step hacks to survive the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline without becoming another quit statistic. This isn’t “drink more water” fluff; it’s the down-and-dirty, why-your-shins-are-dying, how-to-not-faceplant-on-the-IFT kind of episode.

Plus, a SIG P320 scandal, why OTS Nashville is about to sell out, and how to tell if you’re lying to yourself about being “ready.”🔥 Key Takeaways:Time on feet under load is non-negotiable—expect 20+ miles a day in the pipeline.Fast runners graduate more.
