***Fixed***Ep 517: So You Want to Play with Bombs? Air Force EOD Isn’t the Hurt Locker

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

Send us Fan MailEveryone loves to say they want a “badass” job—until they realize Air Force EOD actually plays with live explosives. Peaches sits down with three bomb techs who spill the truth about blowing stuff up for a living. From top-secret clearances to the sadistic “Grooster” workout, these dudes talk smoke sessions, failure, and why being called “Eagle” isn’t a compliment. No Hollywood hero shots here—just sweat, stress, and zero room for mistakes. If you think you’re built different, listen up. This episode will check your ego harder than an instructor at NAV School.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – “You’re Going Down on Bombs, Boys”03:00 – Why EOD Isn’t Just Another SWOE Backup Plan07:15 – The Guard Life vs Active Duty Reality12:45 – Passing the “Psychopath” Test17:00 – The Grooster: EOD’s Dumbest (and Best) Workout26:00 – How EOD School Breaks You Without Yelling41:00 – Double Taps, Unicorns, and Ego Checks52:00 – Secret Clearances and Pentagon Power Trips57:30 – 3D Printing Explosives and Idle Hands1:09:00 – Real EOD Life: From Bombs to Breakfast1:16:00 – Advice from the Trenches: Don’t Be “That Guy”🎯 Call-to-Actions:👍 Like the episode🔔 Subscribe for more military chaos💬 Comment: could YOU survive EOD school?🌟 Leave a review (Peaches reads them all)🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership👕 Grab your gear from the merch storeSupport 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...
