Send us a textPeaches drops into the team room to roast the DoD’s latest brainchild—the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense program.

Ops Brief 079: Daily Drop - 23 July 2025 (The Pentagon Spent What on a Space Blimp?)

Send us a textPeaches is back with another scathing ops brief—this time dragging the DoD for everything from mystery missiles and “indefinite quantity” contracts (yeah, that’s real) to billion-dollar Iron Dome knockoffs. From Space Force promotions to “near-miss” B-52s and the Pentagon handing OpenAI a $200M AI war chest, this episode dives deep into the weird, the wild, and the “we’re definitely not overfunded” chaos of 2025. Also: the real reason the Air Force hit their recruiting goals early (spoiler: they didn’t). Oh, and yes, Tim Kennedy's name comes up... brace yourselves.🔥 Key Takeaways:💥 The Air Force buys 75 tankers without even pretending to hold a competition🛰️ Space Force doing 61 launches and still trying to look busy🧃 Creatine gummies now count as warfighting prep📉 “Indefinite delivery” contracts sound more like wishful thinking🫡 Recruiting goals met... after someone moved the goalpost🏆 Congressional medals for civilians?

Ops Brief 078: Daily Drop - 22 July 2025 (Army Embarrassing Themselves...AGAIN!)

Send us a textPeaches returns with another banger, torching bureaucratic blunders and Joint Force nonsense. From the Pentagon flexing like it just invented drone grenades, to the DoD accidentally letting Chinese engineers tinker with our cloud—this one's a spicy ride. He dives into the F-35 budget cut drama, Space Force cosplay, uniform updates that no one asked for, and yes, another near-miss in the skies. Also: Nashville OTS still has slots, and you might even get Uncle Sam to foot the bill (if your chain isn't lame). Buckle up—your commute just got smarter and more sarcastic.🔥 Key Takeaways:Pentagon: “We dropped a grenade from a drone!” Everyone else: “Cool, 2012 called.”Microsoft let Chinese engineers touch DoD networks.

Ep 491: Older Dude Smashes TACP Pipeline – Then Ghosts the Air Force for MBA

Send us a textBuckle up, aspiring warriors and pipeline survivors – the Ones Ready crew is back with a savage takedown of military myths, featuring Tac P legend Alex Chiapetta, who joined the Air Force at the ripe old age of 27 (gasp!) and somehow didn't shatter like fine china in the pipeline. Spoiler: He crushed it, thanks to mobility stretches, protein overloads, and bedtime at 7:30 PM – because who needs video games when you're building an empire? Alex spills the tea on ditching desk jobs during COVID, dodging Army officer boards like a bad date, and why Tac P's strategic battlefield wizardry hooked him harder than a Hellcat obsession (pro tip: Skip the 28% interest muscle car, kids). From land nav in the woods (no, not that kind) to JTAC brain-melting chaos, he exposes how the pipeline's "easier" rep is total BS – it's all rucking, radios, and refusing to be that washout marching lines at Medina. But here's the real mic-drop: Alex played the long game, stacking VA loans for free rent via house hacks, maxing TSP like a boss, and snagging Air Force Cool certs while you were blowing TDY cash on nonsense. Now he's bailing for Texas McCombs MBA, networking with vets like a pro, and plotting to buy businesses from retiring boomers. Oh, and don't get him started on getting fat post-military – he's aiming for "hot dad" status, not "retired slob." The crew throws in pool training plugs, fat-shaming roasts (RIP Tony's BMI), and why your network is your net worth. If you're grinding the pipeline or plotting your escape, this episode's your no-BS blueprint to level up – or end up checking IDs at the gate. Hell yeah, brother... or nah?Key Takeaways:Age Ain't Nothing But a Pipeline Myth: Alex joined at 27, outlasted cocky 18-year-olds by prioritizing recovery, mobility, and sleep – turns out discipline beats youth every time. Pipeline Real Talk – It's Brutal, Brainy, and Doable: From rucking hell to land nav nightmares and JTAC multi-tasking madness, the Tac P grind builds unbreakable confidence if you shut up and grind. Military Benefits = Wealth Hacks: Stack TSP, snag VA loans for multi-unit houses (live rent-free, idiots), and use Air Force Cool for free certs – Alex turned four years into generational weSupport 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...

From botching his shot at pro baseball to stumbling into the Air Force via a giant binder of mystery jobs, Temple’s journey is pure chaos and grit. We dive into his Mustang days (yes, he enlisted first), Navy betrayal (yep, he crossed over), and what it was like sleeping bag spooning with a CCT in Afghanistan.Oh, and he’s not just a warfighter—he’s a legislative assassin now, influencing Capitol Hill and telling Congress what’s up with AFSPECWAR.
