In this brutally honest episode, Aaron, Peaches, and Trent take you deep into the realities of Air Force Special Warfare. They break down the real pros and cons of the career-from the thrill of mastering advanced skills and the tight-knit brotherhood to the grueling training pipeline and the toll on your body. If you think it's all about action-packed deployments, think again. These operators don’t hold back on the harsh truths: the long training, high attrition rates, and the struggle to make rank.
They cover it all, including the ups and downs of deployments, the unmatched bonuses, and why the mission will always be the biggest motivation. Whether you're thinking about joining or just curious, this episode delivers a clear picture of what it's really like to serve in elite units. With their candid stories and real-world experience, the team paints a vivid picture of life in AFSW that you won't find anywhere else.
