Ep 525: The Zulu Course Is a Dumpster Fire (Or Maybe Not?)

from Ones Ready · host Aaron Love, Trent Seegmiller, and Jared "Peaches" Pietras

Send us Fan MailEveryone online says the new Special Warfare “Zulu Course” is trash—so Peaches and Trent decided to light it up. This isn’t a soft take or sanitized military PR moment. It’s two retired operators roasting the chaos, the memes, and the ridiculous leadership gag orders that make no sense. Peaches calls out the “change fatigue” across the DOD, breaks down why the Zulu rollout will be rough, and drops truth bombs about command cluelessness, budget black holes, and the myth of the “company man.” If you can’t handle sarcasm and honesty about how training actually works, go listen to something else.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Peaches calls out “Company Man” energy 05:30 – The Zulu Course meltdown begins 08:40 – Change fatigue & leadership chaos 13:00 – Meme wars and gag orders gone stupid 19:00 – Legal orders, gag orders, and OSI overreach 25:00 – Why the first 3 Zulu classes will be total chaos 33:00 – Training breakdown: what “advanced” really means (hint: nothing) 41:00 – Subsuface swimming & pre-dive prep 52:00 – “They’re still cones” – Peaches vs. the pipeline 55:00 – Peaches’ spicy take on AFSOC “air commandos” 1:02:00 – If the Wing’s paying, Peaches is for sale🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Smash that Like button if you’ve ever survived bad leadership 🔔 Subscribe before your commander issues a gag order 💬 Drop your hot take in the comments 🌟 Leave a review — unless you’re a company man 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership for real-world prep 👕 Grab gear and merch at onesready.comSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...
