    Been listening to these guys for a few months. They present such a wealth of information, and do so in a way that is engaging, motivating, and often times hilarious. Additionally, you can just tell they are good dudes by their willingness to help total strangers. Outstanding podcast!

  • 5/5 tool to use in training for the AFSPECWAR pipeline

    Most useful podcast I’ve found whether it be for pipeline updates, life advice by thinking “what wouldn’t Aaron do”, and learning that Gag orders are viewed more as a bedroom thing than an actual Air Force doctrine thing.

  • Official Unoffical PAF (Podcast of the Air Force)

    Come for the advice, stay to hear Trent misuse big words while Peaches shows that great things come in small packages… and Aaron yells at you until you actually improve. 10/10.
