Send us a textTrent flies solo and takes a flamethrower to nostalgia—inside the military, inside Air Force Special Warfare, and inside your own head. What does “make it great again” even mean? When was it great… really? Trent breaks down why every generation swears their pipeline, their suffering, and their era was the peak—and why that thinking quietly poisons progress. From GWOT legends to pipeline myths, cadre trauma, and emotional memory, this episode is a reality check for anyone yelling from the sidelines. Legacy matters. Fallen brothers matter. But if all you’ve got is “back in my day,” you’re not helping—you’re just loud.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 Ones Ready — Solo Episode02:15 The Shirt That Sparked the Rant05:40 When Was AFSW Actually “Great”?09:30 GWOT Success vs Emotional Memory14:50 Training Pipelines Aren’t Rites of Trauma19:30 When Cadre Try to Recreate Their Pain24:10 Nostalgia Is Not a Strategy28:45 Stop Throwing Stones, Start Building31:20 Keep Air Force Special Warfare Great🎯 Call-to-Actions:👍 Like the episode🔔 Subscribe for more unfiltered takes💬 Comment with your take—nostalgia or progress🌟 Leave a review🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership👕 Check out the merch at onesready.comSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY...
