About this episode
Send us a text Jared’s sunburnt, unfiltered, and back in the war room (well, accidentally someone else’s). In this raw members-only rant, he debriefs the San Diego Operator Training Summit, breaks down the PT standard panic in the Air Force, and flame-throws the idiocy of “Blues Mondays.” From watching 38 candidates grind it out to eviscerating the armchair critics of “warrior ethos,” this episode is a spicy casserole of truth bombs, sarcasm, and unsolicited leadership advice. Plus, why some folks are mad about "our boys" and how social media outrage might just be one big bot-fueled joke. Buckle up, because Jared’s mic is hot and his patience is not. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 🪖 38 candidates hit San Diego for the OTS—pull-up game was strong, sunburns stronger. 🎥 A former AF medic turned documentarian is capturing the grit for future sizzle reels. 📉 Reality check: only 10% might make it to selection—most won't. 🏃♂️ Air Force PT may shift to a 2-mile run , twice a year—cue mass hysteria from the Facebook force. 🤡 “Warrior Ethos” is the new buzzword… and yes, it makes Jared cringe. 💙 Blues Mondays may return, and Jared is ready to throw his dress uniform in protest. 🗣️ Leadership lesson: you can over-communicate ( cough CMSAF Bass)… or completely ghost ( cough CMSAF Flosey). 🤖 Bots or babies? Outrage over "our boys" shows how far we’ve drifted into performative offense. 📉 Leadership without presence? It’s not 2003 anymore—get on social or get left behind. 😬 Jared accidentally went live on the War Room's channel.
