Welcome back to your favorite corner of chaos—the Ones Ready podcast. Today we’re giving you the inside scoop on the next Operator Training Summit in La Jolla, California (that’s right, where influencers pretend to jog and Navy SEALs learn to leave Combat Controller's on the OBJ). If you’ve ever wanted mentorship, expert instruction, and a slight brush with aquatic panic, this is your episode.

We're breaking down everything you need to know: deep-ass pools, buddy breathing without drowning your buddy, and how Drownproofing in the same pool as Deep End Fitness is more of a spiritual journey than a drill. Oh, and don’t worry—this is NOT a smoke session. It’s deliberate. It’s intentional. And you’ll leave with more than just sore calves and PTSD from mask and snorkel drills.

Also featuring:
🔥 Swag-bearing special warfare recruiters
🔥 Tactical s'mores around a SoCal campsite
🔥 12-hour pool days that don’t suck
🔥 Mentors who aren’t trying to haze you (weird, right?)

You’re not ready—but we’ll fix that.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• If you're 15+ with a waiver and can fog up a mask, you can join.
• Drownproofing isn’t hard... until it is.
• This isn’t Hell Week. It’s more like Enlightenment Weekend (but with fins).
• Meet former schoolhouse staff who will actually teach you things.
• Limited slots. Unlimited sarcasm.
• Recruiters may bring snacks. We’re not promising Chick-fil-A, but hey.
• If you're not there, you're probably doing push-ups wrong somewhere else.
