Ops Brief 008: Daily Drop - 13 March 2025 (Budget Nightmares, Lower Standards & China Flexing)

Send us a text

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we don’t sugarcoat military dysfunction. Today’s Daily Drop covers the latest budget failures, softening standards, and why China is laughing at us.

💥 The Pentagon still can’t figure out funding—because training and readiness are apparently optional.
 💥 Lower fitness standards? Because a ‘lethal force’ should probably be in shape.
 💥 China running live-fire drills near Australia—casual flex or testing the waters?
 💥 Space Force wants ‘exotic orbits’ to dodge Chinese surveillance—sounds cool, but will it work?
 💥 The Air Force still fighting to stay relevant—Next Gen fighters? Air tankers? Who needs those?

Congress can’t pass a budget, leadership is making excuses, and meanwhile, our adversaries are getting stronger. But hey, at least we still have E9s failing PT tests.

Also, shoutout to ATACLETE for actually preparing warfighters the right way. If you’re still running in your dad’s old gym shoes, it’s time to upgrade. 💪
