Trent and Peaches start with monster trucks and end up demolishing the Special Warfare pipeline. But first, they highlight the absolute unit that is Scott Ruskan, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer who saved 165 people during the Texas floods—only to get force-fed a hero tour he didn’t ask for.

What follows is a surgical takedown of the Pentagon’s latest “reforms” to the AFSW pipeline: less training, more liability, and a slow slide toward mediocrity—all in the name of speed. The guys torch the leadership failures, expose the false promises of a “common skills course,” and explain why survivability isn’t something you sprinkle on later.

Also: weather nerds vs. floodplain ignorance, Epstein conspiracies, and why the real danger isn’t water—it’s decisions made by people who never touched it.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 🚁 Scott Ruskan is a damn legend. 165 lives saved, no ego, just action.
• ⚠️ The hero tour = psychological landmine. Repeated exposure to trauma masked as “recognition.”
• 🧠 The Gill-Man Amnesia Effect: Everyone forgets yesterday’s lies when today's headline feels good.
• 🥽 Water confidence can’t be bolted on. It needs to be baked in—early and often.
• ⏱️ 12-month pipelines = tactical malpractice. Nobody wants a part-trained teammate.
• 🪖 SOCOM's contractual standards? Being ignored. The Air Force is daring them to care.
• ⚔️ Officers who push back get fired. Bootlickers get promoted.
• 🧃 Fast-roping is fine, repelling is too dangerous? Sure, Jan.
• 🌊 Pacific fight coming, but water training gets cut? Make it make sense.
