    2026/2/18 | 14 mins.
    Send a text
    Peaches runs a fast Daily Drop Ops Brief and opens by correcting his earlier miscall on the USS collision—owning it and fixing it. The Army wraps up a $27M digital network overhaul in South Korea, surges troops into Hawaii housing pressure, conducts nighttime Arctic air assaults in Alaska, and tests new Apache anti-drone rounds. The Air Force pushes the Sentinel ICBM timeline into the early 2030s, delays F-15EX deliveries to Kadena, repaints Air Force One, and faces renewed debate about expanding the Air Force Academy versus giving the Space Force its own pipeline. Space Force pushes SWORD readiness platforms and surveys satellite refueling concepts, while the Coast Guard prepares for Indo-Pacific port defense. The episode closes with commercial on-orbit surveillance efforts and nuclear talks with Iran. No panic. Just context.

    ***Sneak Peek***MBRS 79: E-9s Gone Wild: When E-9s Dox Airmen

    2026/2/18 | 32 mins.
    Send a text
    Strap in—this one’s a mess. The crew breaks down how the Air Force’s first female SERE Chief thought it was a good idea to dox an A1C because his dad called her a “garrison bunny.” Yeah, you read that right. Instead of clapping back with humor, she weaponized her platform of 195k followers to drag a kid who had zero involvement. We torch the hypocrisy, roast the power abuse, and ask the question no one else will: how the hell is this acceptable in uniform? Sprinkle in some Pete Buttigieg jokes, Atlas Shrugged doomsday signals, and a little self-owning about Ones Ready’s own social media run-ins, and you’ve got an episode that pulls no punches. Chiefs, take notes—this is how not to lead.

    Ops Brief 127: Daily Drop - 17 Feb 2026 - Army Honeypots, Ship Collisions, & UAPs

    2026/2/17 | 22 mins.
    Send a text
    Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and this one’s got everything: an Army Futures and Concepts Command elevation, a retired colonel sentenced for sharing classified war plans with a honeypot, and a battalion leader getting four years for secretly recording guests. The Navy manages to collide two ships in the Caribbean, debates doubling ship procurement, and asks for historic funding levels—while the Pentagon eyes a $1.6 trillion defense budget increase. A Marine is declared lost at sea, the Marine Corps passes another clean audit, and an Afghan adoption case survives court. The Air Force wrestles with healthcare access and collaborative combat aircraft software, Space Force pushes quality-of-life fixes, the Coast Guard uses an anti-drone laser near El Paso, and SECDEF skips a NATO meeting while POTUS leans on military leaders for diplomacy. No conspiracy. Just context.

    Ep 562: AFSW Attribute - Fitness

    2026/2/16 | 32 mins.
    Send a text
    This episode kills one of the biggest misconceptions in Air Force Special Warfare prep: the IFT is not a measure of fitness. Aaron breaks down why fitness and endurance are evaluated as core attributes in selection—and how physical preparedness underpins everything else: leadership, communication, teamwork, survivability, and credibility. From diesel engines vs Lambos to unknown time, unknown distance missions, this is a blunt explanation of why being “fit enough” isn’t enough. Fitness isn’t about looking good or checking a box—it’s about being capable, violent when necessary, and reliable when lives depend on you.
