Leaders emphasize that no career-filled standards will be lowered in the new pipeline.

Combat controllers, pararescuments, special reconnaissance operators, and tactical air control party specialists will still complete all previous training standards at equal levels.

That is huge.

The goal of pipeline optimization is not to change the intensity or difficulty of the Air Force's special warfare

pipeline, but to make the process of producing qualified operators more effective.

That's a big paragraph.

One's ready.

Go!

You know, I don't even know what I was just thinking to myself as I was getting ready to hit record.

Hi, it's Aaron. Welcome back to the 130 podcast as I was getting ready to record. I was checking myself out, looking at my, you know, making sure my shirt looks nice, no big deal, anti-social media influencer. I love it. It works two ways. That's the joke. I was thinking to myself, what am I going to say? And I started really worrying like, what am I going to say during the intro? It's been a little bit of since I recorded. And I'll explain why that is the way that it is too. It's a, that's a great thing. But then I remembered. I heard Peach's voice in my head. And he was like, what are you doing? Just hit record, idiot. You don't need prep.

So here we are.

Welcome.

Welcome back. in my head. He was like, what are you doing? Just hit record, idiot. You don't need prep. So here we are.

Welcome. Welcome back. So a couple of weeks ago on October 10th, we put out a reel. I did specifically

where I said that I wanted to talk about a press release that was passed to us from the special

warfare trading wing. And also I want to start off with gratitude.

I said it in the real, y'all, thank you.

Thank you very much. That is awesome. Help us get the message out there. If you got anything, Special Warfare Training Wing, hit us up. We're your mouthpiece. We got you out there. So this is one of those opportunities. They put out a press release. We were lucky enough to be on the CC line of this press release.

We're going to go through it today, and I'm going to do my best to translate it.

Now, I do want to own up to something. I said that day when it came out, I wanted to make some

content on it that day. I don't know why I would say that. So I had a newborn and they were like four days premature. So it's not really premature, right? She was to term. Everything was fine. She's healthy now. Everything's great. But she was technically super early, right? For a couple of different reasons. And I couldn't speak for 20 minutes forward of my time, let alone, like, make some content and get it out there. So I over promised here a little bit. And I apologize. So we're going to get that done now. Shout out to Peaches for holding me accountable on that one, too, because basically he was like, hey, you piece of crap, are you going to ever come back on this? Literally the text message, today I should read it off. But it was something effective like, hey, has this ship sailed or are you actually going to do this content? And he sent me my own reel. That's the kind of shaming that goes on behind the scenes here at the ones already podcast. But it gets you content. And it gives you something important. And that's what we're going to talk about. Before we jump into that, we're going to talk about tasty gains. I'm going to bring it up here on the screen. Let's talk about protecting your brain.

You guys want to talk about tasty gains. I'm going to bring it up here on the screen. Let's talk about protecting your brain. You guys want to talk about actually living forever, which is stuff that I'm trying to do. Let's talk about protecting your brain. Go over to tasty gains right now. Why am I talking about protecting your brain? Well, because creatine, if you take, there's a lot of research right now that's just cognitive benefit protection of the brain function and how the brain works. It helps your brain function a little bit better if you take creatine, especially dudes that have maybe had some blast injuries or tbis or what have you. Especially if you're sleep deprived, it helps a lot when you're very, very tired. So lots of interesting studies on creatine while our friends over at Tastygains have the best tasting cretine gummies on the freaking market. I love these things. I eat them all the time, getting 12 grams of creatine. No problem. I just absolutely down them. I could crush them. I'm not supposed to, I hope my wife does. My wife actually does not listen to this podcast because she, imagine having to listen to me all day and then listen to me talk about something
