Ep 498: The 2-Mile Run is Oppressive (Apparently) - Thanks CMSAF!

Trent flies solo and absolutely nukes the pity party over the Air Force adding a gasp two-mile run. If you’re one of the Facebook warriors crying about extra laps, this one’s for you. He breaks down exactly why being fit isn’t just a box to check—it’s the damn point. From waistband inflation to PT test trauma, this episode drags every excuse into the sunlight and torches it. Spoiler: you're not a victim, you're just out of breath.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

If your uniform is screaming, that’s not “mission ready.”
Being in shape helps your mood, sleep, brain, career… basically everything.
“I don’t have time” is just Air Force for “I’m lazy.”
PT tests aren’t the problem—you are.
Fitness isn’t punishment, it’s freedom.
Stop crying on Facebook and go for a damn run.
