Ep 601: America 250: Patriotism Is Back
Trent and Peaches jump into the Ones Ready team room for a quick-turn America 250 / Fourth of July episode covering patriotism, World Cup energy, Hoover Dam, UFC America 250 vibes, Air Force One, Special Warfare rescue work, and why it is still okay to love America out loud.
The crew starts with Tasty Gains, ATACLETE, Operator Training Summit, San Diego, Pennsylvania, and why the right gear and the right instruction matter if you are preparing for the pipeline. Then they get into America’s 250th birthday, the giant American flag at the Hoover Dam, foreign visitors discovering that America is actually pretty awesome, and the recent wave of national pride around sports, culture, and military events.
They also break down the U.S. men’s soccer team, the controversial red card, World Cup matchups, FIFA corruption, and why the current American team finally looks like it believes it belongs with the best in the world.
Peaches also talks about the new Air Force One rollout, F-22s, formation requirements, and the wild fact that a British exchange pilot ended up leading the F-22 formation because he was the qualified pilot available. The episode closes with U.S. military rescue support after the Venezuela earthquake, Air Force Special Warfare doing real-world work, and a reminder that criticism of the community comes from caring about the community.
