Ops Brief 071: Daily Drop - 8 July 2025 (Troops in LA, Marines in Florida, & Generals Selling Jet Dreams)
Send us a textIn this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Peaches dives headfirst into the latest national defense chaos—from Humvees rolling through LA to Marines moonlighting as ICE support in Florida. Pete Hegseth wants to bring the warrior spirit back (because apparently we lost it), and Jared’s not buying the sudden patriotism unless you're ready to pull bodies from burning cars. Meanwhile, retired four-stars are back in the game pushing for E-7s and more F-35s… but who’s paying them now? The Academy is bleeding staff, a nuclear microreactor is going to Alaska (because obviously), and the Air Force just teamed up with AI-piloted Valkyrie drones like it's Skynet 2.0. Also—yes, the Space Force canceled something big. Again. Strap in, nerds.🔥 Key Takeaways:🇺🇸 Hegseth goes full ‘warrior mode’ – and Jared’s all for readiness, just not the cosplay.🚨 Troops deployed to LA for immigration enforcement (with ROE briefings and Humvees, naturally).🪖 Marines in Florida supporting ICE—because why not send 200 to do a politician’s dirty work?🤔 Retired generals pushing for more jets—but Jared smells Lockheed money in the air.🛫 Valkyrie drone test controlled by Air Force pilots shows we’re getting closer to robot war.🏫 140 jobs cut at the Air Force Academy, and Jared’s got thoughts on over-hires and sadness.⚛️ Alaska’s Eielson AFB gets a microreactor—because freezing in the dark is for civilians.🛰️ Space Force awards $2.8B to Boeing for nuclear comms, then cancels a big satcom program because… reasons.🧠 Jared admits he uses AI to parse 10-page DoD briefs—and honestly, wouldn’t you?⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Intro & Ataclite Discount Plug 00:46 – Hegseth Wants Warrior Culture Back 01:45 – The Readiness Guilt Bomb 02:26 – Troops in LA: Immigration Crackdown with ROE 03:22 – Jared’s Take: Social Media Outrage vs Reality 04:00 – Marines Deployed to Florida for ICE Support 04:38 – Okinawa Arrests: Airman & Marine in Hot Water 05:25 – Are We Doxing Troops Too Casually? 05:48 – Air Force Tests Valkyrie Drones in Air Combat 06:22 – AFMC Boss Retires (Yawn) 06:42Support the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pr...

Ep 487: Big Beautiful AFSW Pipeline updates for July 2025!
Send us a textAfter six months of silence, the Ones Ready crew finally unleashes a no-holds-barred breakdown of the looming AFSPECWAR pipeline overhaul—and spoiler alert: it’s a total mess. From gutting water confidence to pushing combat dive into career purgatory, this episode exposes how leadership is sacrificing operational readiness for… spreadsheets.Jared, Aaron, and Trent torch the new “land-based” selection model, the sketchy 12-week “Common Skills” course, and the alphabet-soup plans for MGFE (whatever that means). The team unpacks why this isn’t just dumb—it’s dangerous. If you think removing water-based assessments won’t ripple downstream into mission failure, think again.Whether you’re a pipeline hopeful, a team room veteran, or someone who actually cares about how elite operators get made—this is the one you don’t skip.🔥 Key Takeaways:💦 Water Confidence, RIP: Moving to land-based selection ignores the job’s amphibious demands.🤡 Common Skills Chaos: 12-week course sounds good… until you realize it’s not resourced, staffed, or even defined.🧠 Creatine and Conspiracies: Tasty Gains gets a nod, but the real brain fuel here is unfiltered truth.🎩 Pipeline Decisions Made by People Who’ve Never Worn a Ruck: Career field managers weren’t even in the room.🫥 MGFE = Maybe Get F*cked Eventually? No one knows what it means, and that’s the point.🐸 Mission Before Metrics: Pushing dudes to teams faster doesn’t mean they’re ready.🎭 Everyone’s Fighting the Last War: JTACery is glorified while global access gets ghosted.🎥 Hollywood Couldn’t Script This Stupid: The pipeline plan reads like satire—but it’s real.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Cold open chaos & car shaming 04:00 – UFC at the White House? ‘Murica. 06:45 – Creatine, cognition, and calling out fake fitness 10:00 – Pipeline Rumors Confirmed: Here comes land-based selection 13:00 – Why removing water work is a catastrophic mistake 17:40 – Swovie is broken.

***Sneak Peek***MBRS 55: Brad Pitt’s Haircut Ruined War Movies
Send us a textTrent and Peaches are back on the Ones Ready podcast, and this members-only episode is a no-holds-barred roast of Hollywood’s war movie obsession, questionable haircuts, and the veteran life nobody talks about. From dunking on Fury’s overhyped tank drama to unpacking why Brad Pitt’s smolder doesn’t make him a thespian god, these two bring the heat with zero filter. They also dive into the real grit—veterans navigating a world that thinks they’re either broken or Rambo, and why everything’s suddenly a “mental health crisis.” Expect sarcasm, contrarian hot takes, and a side of Nickelback love (because why not?). This ain’t your average podcast—it’s a verbal frag grenade for the initiated. Key Takeaways: Fury’s tank bromance is overrated, and Brad Pitt’s haircut doesn’t deserve its own fan club. Hollywood’s veteran portrayals are lazy—either you’re a ticking time bomb or a caped crusader, no in-between. The world’s not as soft as you think, but good luck convincing civilians to ditch their bubble wrap mindset. Nickelback’s meme status is peak internet stupidity—they’re still selling out shows while haters cry into their IPAs. Veterans don’t need fixing; they need people to stop assuming they’re one bad day from digging a foxhole in their front yard.Call-to-Actions:Yo, if you’re still here, smash that like button like it’s a Hollywood cliche.

Ops Brief 070: Daily Drop - 4 July 2025 (Midnight Hammer Drops Truth Bombs)
Send us a textPeaches returns with a scorched-earth breakdown of America’s latest military moves—and screwups. From counter-UAS task forces to the Pentagon’s \$330M-per-jet regrets, this episode tears into drone threats, Space Force drama, and Operation Midnight Hammer’s massive flex… that also accidentally exposed all our weak spots. We’re talking fleet gaps, busted tankers, munitions shortages, and decision-makers who keep canceling the wrong programs. Plus: the Air Force ditches sit-up alternatives (again), the F-47 enters the chat, and Iran just keeps poking the bear. If you want strategic insights laced with sarcasm, this is your ammo drop.🔥 Key Takeaways:* 🛩️ F-22 went from 750 to 195 jets thanks to cost, peace, and bureaucracy—F-47 might repeat history.* 💥 Operation Midnight Hammer? Impressive strike, but it exposed serious USAF cracks.* 🚨 ISR gaps, tanker dependency, and stealth shortages paint a grim picture for peer warfare.* 🛰️ SpaceX bags more USSF cash while China throws a fit about “space weaponization.”* 🧠 Counter-UAS task force: great idea… still no clarity on execution.* 💪 Sit-ups are back, shuttle runs are gone, and 2-mile tests might be coming. Because reasons.* 🔥 Guam gets a \$295M command bunker. Iran hucks missiles at Al Udeid. Trump… has thoughts.* 🚀 Space Force scrambles for GPS alternatives as satellite data fails and hurricane forecasts suffer.* 🤕 Military spouses face 2–3x higher depression and anxiety rates than civilians.* 💸 DOD wants \$150B more.

Ops Brief 069: Daily Drop - 2 July 2025 (B-2 Upgrades & The Air Force Rage Quits)
Send us a textThe Air Force is bleeding instructors, CENTCOM's next boss is a mystery wrapped in vagueness, and the B-2 is getting a glow-up because, well, the B-21 still isn’t ready. In this Daily Drop, Jared dives into the military’s latest budget frenzy, Iran’s Cold War cosplay, and why creatine is now part of his mental warfare toolkit. From wildfires pulling Guard troops off security gigs to Cyber Command begging for updated dial-up, it's another day of chaos, caffeine, and congressional cash grabs. Oh—and Space Force is building GPS knockoffs just in case things get really spicy. Buckle up, nerds.🔥 Key Takeaways:🧠 Creatine isn't just for your biceps—it’s for your brain now, apparently.🇪🇺 EUCOM warns the Cold War is back, just with more memes and TikTok.🧨 CENTCOM’s new nominee is “visionary”… but also unnamed. Cool.🤖 DoD is going hard on AI, with $789M for drone wingmen. Skynet vibes.🔥 Wildfires > Guard security missions. California re-prioritizes.🛢️ Tanker budget talk: $100M is now a “drop in the bucket.”🧑🏫 USAFA loses 50+ civilian instructors. Toxic work environment? Shocking.✈️ B-2 gets upgraded while we all wait on the elusive B-21.🛰️ Space Force launches satellites, fights spoofing, mourns a leader.☢️ Iran plays peekaboo with nuclear monitors and threatens email leaks.🎬 Stargate SG-1: apparently too sci-fi without Air Force oversight.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Creatine, Nootropics & Tasty Gains Ad Read 01:00 – EUCOM: Adversaries Aligning (Cold War 2.0?) 02:30 – CENTCOM Nominee: All Mystery, No Substance 03:10 – AI Budget Blitz: Air, Land & Sea Go Robo 04:00 – Cyber Command: Can We Upgrade from AOL Please? 05:00 – Wildfires Pull National Guard from LA 06:10 – Tanker Upgrades: Millions That Feel Like Pennies 07:00 – Air Force Academy Exodus: Toxic Much? 08:50 – B-2 Upgrades: Because the B-21 is Still a Unicorn 10:15 – Space Force Goes Full Sci-Fi (Tronch 3 Uncertainty) 11:45 – Missile Warning Satellites Slip Schedule 12:15 – R.I.P.

Ops Brief 068: Daily Drop - 30 June 2025 (A-10 Dies (Again) & Space Force Goes Pixar)
Send us a textIn this spicy Daily Drop, Jared wades through the DoD’s latest chaos with all the charm of a migraine and none of the bureaucratic BS. Iranian missiles rain on Al Udeid (spoiler: we were ready), Raisin Kane flexes with Patriot batteries, and Trump might’ve poked the bear again—depending on who you ask. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's rolling out budget moves like a drunk accountant: retiring the A-10 (for real this time?), canceling the E-7 Wedgetail, and somehow not screwing up the Sentinel ICBM timeline… allegedly.He torches military mental health hypocrisy (hi, Joe and your stripper wives), raises an eyebrow at Air Force budget math, and mourns the tragic losses of airmen in water-related incidents. Also: Space Force gets the Pixar treatment, cloud networks are trying to unf*** comms, and one moron laser-tagged F-16s and got... nine days in jail. Cool system we’ve got.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Al Udeid survives Iranian missile strike – 40 defenders, 2 minutes, zero hype.🧨 Operation Midnight Hammer – 125 aircraft flex, Congress still asleep.🤷♂️ A-10 finally retiring? Jared’s not buying it (and neither is Ukraine).📉 Wedgetail canceled, B-21 boosted – so… we’re blind but stealthy?🧠 Military spouses’ mental health – turns out marrying strippers isn’t a fix.💻 Secure cloud networks – because current comms are held together by duct tape and prayers.🌊 Two tragic airmen deaths in water – wear your damn life jackets.🚀 SpaceX gets the nod – launching hurricane monitors and science toys.🔦 Laser dude gets 9 days – interfering with F-16s = weekend timeout.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & Modern Athlete Plug 01:50 – Raisin Kane in Greece, IUD base defense 03:40 – Trump & the Iran drama 05:00 – Pentagon’s cloud comms fail-fix 06:00 – Mental health crisis in military spouses 06:45 – China threat & 2027 Taiwan clock 07:30 – Air Force One gets a Qatari glow-up 08:30 – Munitions shortage & bunker buster boost 09:45 – A-10 dies (again), F-47 in, E-7 out 11:00 – Air Force nixes alternative PT tests 12:10 – Tragic airman deathsSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pr...

Ep 486: "He Didn’t Kill Himself" – The SEAL Conspiracy That Won’t Die with Matt Cubbler
Send us a textMatt Cubbler is back—and this time, it’s personal. If you thought the first episode blew the lid off the Job Price case, buckle the hell up. In this scorched-earth sequel, the Ones Ready crew dives headfirst into the why behind the mysterious death of SEAL Team 4 Commander Job Price. Spoiler alert: the official “suicide” story doesn’t just have holes—it’s a full-blown cover-up crater.Cubbler, a 30-year law enforcement veteran and the man who cracked open the case, lays out a damning forensic, contextual, and moral case that screams murder. From scrubbed crime scenes and missing money to suppressed pistols and suppressed truths, this is a masterclass in how to weaponize silence, loyalty, and bureaucracy to erase a man.We’re talking forged narratives, suppressed evidence, and a command culture that would rather protect the brotherhood than admit a SEAL commander might’ve been executed by his own men. If this episode doesn’t rattle your faith in the system, check your pulse—or your security clearance.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 Forensic pathologists confirm: Job Price did not commit suicide.🔇 Crime scene was unsecured for 9 hours—then scrubbed by SEALs.🔫 The gun that allegedly killed Price? Never tested for brain matter. It also likely wasn’t the murder weapon.😶 SEAL command ignored warnings of retribution from locals after a prior detainee death.💰 $30–40K in missing ASOT funds—and Price threatened to expose it.🧼 His body was washed, redressed, and hands rebagged after NCIS told them not to touch a thing.🎭 Gallagher, Ryan, and the Anti-Hero crew mock the investigation—but offer zero counterevidence.🧠 Motive? Betrayal, ego, fear of exposure, and a toxic loyalty to the team—not the truth.📉 Since 2001, zero commander-level suicides in theater. But Price, with a family and a bright future, suddenly “kills himself” days before Christmas? Not buying it.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Strap in: Cubbler returns 01:15 – Pose Fitness App plug: train smart or get smoked 03:55 – Free month?

Ops Brief 067: Daily Drop - 27 June 2025 (“Razin Caine” Bombs Iran & Roasts Top Gun)
Send us a textThe Pentagon dropped a $962B budget bomb, and Razin Caine dropped an actual bomb—well, more like 125 aircraft dropping GBU-57 bunker busters on Iranian nuclear sites. In this no-fluff Daily Drop, Jared unpacks the FY26 defense budget, the rise of the F-47, the death of the A-10, and why space is the new high ground (sorry, Wedgetail). He also calls out bureaucratic nonsense, praises enlisted studs like Tech Sgt. Montoya, and side-eyes yet another “brilliant” plan to split the Air Force into four separate services. Meanwhile, Hoist is still the drink of choice, even if Congress can’t get theirs together.🔥 Key Takeaways:💣 Operation Midnight Hammer: 125 aircraft, 7,000 miles, 37 hours, and big bunker busters.🛫 F-35 out, F-47 in: Air Force pivots to next-gen air dominance… while retiring the beloved A-10.💸 $962B Defense Budget: Includes $184B for construction and $25B for Space Force’s “Golden Dome” (yes, seriously).🛰️ Wedgetail Axed: Airborne command and control is out, space-based C2 is in—eventually.🪖 Tech Sgt. Montoya FTW: Combat training in Korea actually gets a shoutout from Public Affairs.🧠 Split the Air Force?: A retired general thinks more bureaucracy is the answer. Jared strongly disagrees.🥇 Air Force Academy's New Motto: “Cultivate intensity”—aka try harder, cadets.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome & Hoist plug (because hydration > ads) 00:38 – Pentagon drops a $962B budget bomb 01:45 – Iran didn’t move uranium—but Razin Cain sure moved mountains 02:30 – MOP attack explained (yes, they used that bomb) 03:15 – Caine roasts volleyball-playing pilots 04:00 – 15 years of planning for one big boom 04:45 – Was Cain pressured?

Ep 485: Foreign Aid Is Not a Handout—It’s a Weapon
Send us a textBuckle up, warfighters—this one’s gonna rattle some cages. In this fire-breathing episode, Jared and Aaron torch the lazy talking points and break down why foreign aid isn’t just “giving away your tax dollars.” From crushing fentanyl pipelines before they cross U.S. borders to outmaneuvering China’s Belt and Road sleight of hand, this is your crash course in how global influence actually works. They pull no punches while explaining how smart international assistance builds partner capacity, prevents U.S. boots on the ground, and gives America leverage without dropping a single JDAM. Plus: why U2 should be banned from Bluetooth speakers and what happens when your soft power goes soft.Forget TikTok takes—this is real strategy from dudes who lived it.🔥 Key Takeaways:💸 Foreign aid ≠ charity. It’s an influence tool that keeps Americans out of wars.🛡️ Soft power is sometimes more lethal than hard power—and way cheaper.🇨🇳 When America leaves a vacuum, China builds a port (and installs spyware).🧠 DIME, baby: Diplomacy, Information, Military, Economic—master that or get outplayed.🚨 Fentanyl doesn’t start at the border. Foreign aid helps cut it off at the source.🌍 You can’t project power if you’ve got zero friends. Aid makes us the partner of choice.⚖️ ROI isn’t just Wall Street—it’s fewer Americans in body bags.🛠️ JSETs (Joint Combined Exchange Training) are quiet, powerful force multipliers.🤡 PSA: Stop conflating USAID with foreign military aid.

Ops Brief 066: Daily Drop - 26 June 2025 (Squirrel Warzones & 44-Hour Bomb Runs)
Send us a textWelcome to your June 26th no-BS team room drop—brought to you by the Ones Ready squad and powered by caffeine, sarcasm, and tactical booties. Jared dives into the late-breaking chaos of June 25th like a B-2 on a midnight hammer run. From underground terror bunkers to squirrels declaring war on Minot AFB, this episode hits harder than hypersonics and keeps it unapologetically real.CENTCOM says terrorists are going subterranean, Iran’s still acting like the boss villain of global instability, and somehow the Missile Defense Agency is still blaming COVID for its two-year delay. Oh, and in case you missed it—female aircrew smoked Iranian targets while half the internet cried over the phrase “our boys.” Grow up.We also cover squirrel infestations, Air Force fitness crybabies, the return of NATO guilt-tripping, and why Congress doesn’t need to be in the Airstrike Group Chat. It's everything you need to know to stay informed, pissed off, and ready to crush your next ruck.🔥 Key Takeaways:🕳️ Terror groups are digging deep—CENTCOM warns that underground bunkers are the new hiding spot.🇮🇷 Iran’s still a problem—even after precision airstrikes and diplomatic chest-thumping.🎯 B-2 bombers dropped 75+ precision munitions in a record-setting sortie. 44-hour flights. Go-pills included.⚖️ Domestic violence convictions in the military are up—but so are concerns about due process.🧠 Female operators crushed it during Operation Midnight Hammer, but internet trolls only heard “our boys.”🏃♂️ A 2-mile run is breaking the Air Force. Cry harder.🐿️ Minot AFB is under siege… by squirrels. You can't make this up.🚀 Space Force launched Dragoon satellites and opened a museum. Still cooler than your last base tour.🇺🇸 Congress whines about not getting airstrike briefings. Jared breaks down why they’re wrong.🛰️ Electronic warfare still sucks.
