Aaron unloads on the Air Force Special Warfare leadership with the fury of a thousand ignored NCOs. If you're wondering why morale is in the toilet and retention’s circling the drain, look no further than the clown show running the pipeline overhaul. Instructors? Ignored. Functional managers? Ghosted. Messaging? Nonexistent. This isn’t just poor leadership—it’s sabotage disguised as progress. If you’re in charge and this episode hits a nerve… maybe that’s the point. Fix it—or get out of the way.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- Pipeline changes pushed by a mystery cabal no one asked for
- Leadership forgot the leaders
- Instructors are flipping tables, not being heard
- “Flat orgs” don’t mean you bury dissent
- The boys (and girls) still care. Do you?
- Metrics over mission = morale disaster
- If you’re mad, you need a mirror—not a rebuttal
