***Sneak Peek***MBRS 65: Baby Back B*tches & Blues Mondays
Send us a textJared’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.
