EP 364: The Truth Hurts: Mental Health, Low Pay, and What the Air Force Won’t Fix

Peaches goes solo and tackles some of the most controversial topics in the Air Force right now: mental health, leadership accountability, and why no one seems to be solving the real problems. From the brutal realities of low pay to the culture of sweeping mental health issues under the rug, Peaches doesn’t hold back. He addresses the misconceptions, calls out ineffective leadership, and dives into why change hasn’t come—and might not ever—without real action.

This episode is packed with unfiltered opinions, raw takes on the state of the Air Force, and no-BS advice for how to navigate these tough realities. If you're looking for truth and accountability, this one's for you.
