Ops Brief 068: Daily Drop - 30 June 2025 (A-10 Dies (Again) & Space Force Goes Pixar)
Send us a text
In 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 h...
Ep 486: "He Didn’t Kill Himself" – The SEAL Conspiracy That Won’t Die with Matt Cubbler
Send us a text
Matt 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 m...
Ops Brief 067: Daily Drop - 27 June 2025 (“Razin Caine” Bombs Iran & Roasts Top Gun)
Send us a text
The 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 cho...
Ep 485: Foreign Aid Is Not a Handout—It’s a Weapon
Send us a text
Buckle 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 JDA...
Ops Brief 066: Daily Drop - 26 June 2025 (Squirrel Warzones & 44-Hour Bomb Runs)
Send us a text
Welcome 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...
Ops Brief 065: Daily Drop - 24 June 2025 (Fat Shaming & B-2s)
Send us a text
Welcome back to The Daily Drop—where Jared rants, roasts, and breaks down the news like only the Ones Ready crew can. Today’s main event? Iran punches back with a missile strike on Al-Udeid, but 13 of 14 missiles get slapped out of the sky. Trump drops an F-bomb on the lawn. Space and Cyber Command flex behind the scenes. And everyone’s favorite stealth bat—the B-2—continues to steal headlines.
Meanwhile, the Air Force wants airmen to run two miles... twice a year. Cue the Facebook tears and diaper rash in the NCO...
Ops Brief 064: Daily Drop - 23 June 2025 (Operation MIDNIGHT HAMMER & China's Buying Our Secrets)
Send us a text
Strap in, because this Daily Drop drops bombs—literally. Jared’s back from the San Diego Operator Training Summit and immediately diving into the nuclear circus known as Operation Midnight Hammer—the largest B-2 strike in U.S. history. We’re talking 125+ aircraft, deception ops worthy of Hollywood, and a casual flex on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. But don’t worry, the Pentagon swears it’s not “regime change.”
Also in this episode:
CENTCOM’s tanker games, shady KC-135 logistics, and a DoD recruiting task forc...
Ep 484: From Thunderbirds Maintainer to Netflix Star - TSgt Xavier Knapp!
Send us a text
Let’s get one thing straight—this ain’t your typical Air Force hype-fest. Xavier Knapp went from "please God, not F-16s" to becoming the standout maintainer in Netflix’s Thunderbirds documentary. In this episode, we pull the curtain all the way back on what it really means to be a top-tier wrench-turner in the Air Force. Xavier shares the unfiltered truth about failing out of EOD, getting slapped in the face (literally) by maintenance, and grinding through 120° days and freezing nights to keep jets flying. He breaks down the hard-earned pride of mainte...
Ep 483: Trent’s Origin Story: How Pain and Pressure Built a Savage Mentor
Send us a text
This isn’t just an episode — it’s a character arc. For the first time, Trent pulls back the curtain on how his life before the pipeline forged the fire he brings to every candidate now. From getting his teeth kicked in (literally) during his early military career, to surviving brutal operational deployments, to losing everything that mattered and rebuilding from scratch — this is his blueprint.
It’s not a sob story. It’s a leadership autopsy. And it's why he's allergic to your excuses. If you’ve ever wondered why Trent holds th...

Send us a text
What happens when a guy born in Mexico, raised in Montana, gets denied reentry into the Air Force for nearly six years—and comes back swinging as Puerto Rico’s first full-time AFSW recruiter? You get this episode.
Peaches sits down with a recruiter who has seen every side of the Air Force: enlisted mechanic, disgruntled civilian, determined returnee, and now the face of Special Warfare recruiting across Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. This live Q&A is raw, real, and packed with advice you won’t find in any pamphl...
***Sneak Peek*** MBRS 54: $2B Crop Dusters & British Hate Crimes
Send us a text
In this absolute banger of an episode, Peaches and Trent casually disassemble the military-industrial complex, parenting guilt, British censorship, and how not to run a drone program… all while planning t-shirt logistics and surviving haunted Airbnbs. It’s like sitting in on a leadership meeting, a roast, and an existential crisis—all at the same time.
We kick things off with crop dusters—no, not the fart kind, the literal aircraft AFSOC spent $2 billion on instead of investing in drone tech that actually works at elevation. Then we spiral into pub...
Ops Brief 063: Daily Drop - 17 June 2025 ($300 for Evac & Lagging Hypersonics)
Send us a text
The Pentagon’s busy doing backflips to avoid picking a side in the Israel-Iran slugfest, while the U.S. military quietly scrambles tankers, evacuates families, and acts like $300 is enough to survive Naples, Italy. Meanwhile, Air Force tankers take center stage, hypersonic weapons get a reboot (because we’re behind... again), and Space Force finally gets a toy that isn’t just PowerPoint.
Plus: AI flight scheduling, Normandy’s long-overdue tribute, the F-35’s never-ending upgrade saga, and why the Naval Academy’s race-based admissions policy should’ve died long ago. Add some Trump...
Ops Brief 062: Daily Drop - 16 June 2025 (Drones & Alleged F-35 Shoot Downs)
Send us a text
The Pentagon is getting Spiderwebbed, CENTCOM’s begging for a faster arms dealer, and Iran claims it bagged three F-35s (with CGI receipts, naturally). In this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Jared rips through the absurdity of base security theater, why our military sales process might as well be faxed from 1996, and why trusting SpaceX while threatening to cancel their contracts is peak DoD dysfunction.
Also—Space Force can’t track satellites if you build a Starbucks next to the antenna, China’s nukes are multiplying like rabbits, and apparently 100% ID checks a...
Ep 481: Manda Bay - The Attack Nobody Was Ready For
Send us a text
Ones Ready goes scorched earth on the Manda Bay attack—a tragic cocktail of leadership failure, intelligence gaps, and straight-up tactical laziness that left Americans dead and a base in flames. This isn’t just a “bad day at work” story—this is what happens when we let comfort, complacency, and half-baked threat assessments set the tempo.
In this episode, we dissect the 2020 al-Shabaab attack on Manda Bay, Kenya, and the damning DoD report that followed. From unmanned gates to zero reaction plans, we break down just how avoidable this disaster was—and wh...

The Ones Ready crew is back with your daily drop, and today’s episode is hotter than the LRSO’s payload. Jared breaks down the latest in defense news with a healthy dose of sarcasm, fury, and common sense—none of which were found in the FY26 budget. From the Navy’s sixth-gen fighter dreams to Putin’s never-ending land grab, the episode covers it all. We’re talking U.S. evacuation plans in Bahrain, AFRICOM vs EUCOM turf wars, drone warfare budget gymnastics, and why building a micro nuke in Alaska is finally some...

What do you get when you mix scarlet berets, dive school lies, and a belt company that quietly shames your Amazon nylon webbing? You get this week’s Ones Ready episode featuring the legendary Greg “Vic” Novickas—a battle-hardened Combat Controller who’s operated at every level of AFSOC and is now rewriting how we prepare the next generation of warfighters.
Vic takes us through his journey from broke in Key West to tactically melting faces across the globe. From diving with inflatable sheep to running human performance integration like a battlefiel...

Send us a text
Welcome to your daily dose of blunt-force intel. On this episode of Ones Ready, Peaches breaks down the 12 June Ops Brief with the same energy as a pissed-off NCO finding unbloused boots. From nuclear microreactors to E-7 program death rattles, and shady F-35 budget slashings, this rundown covers everything the Pentagon tried to slip under the radar.
Oh, and did we mention Air Force One is getting a facelift from Qatar... and no one will say what it costs?
This one’s for the operators, the policy ne...
Ops Brief 059: Daily Drop - 10 June 2025 (Relaxation Cubes, Drone Wars & Newsom’s Meltdown)
Send us a text
Buckle up. In this Daily Drop, Jared steamrolls through a Pentagon fever dream where California governors cry about sovereignty, the Air Force funds anxiety nap pods, and Russia’s Spiderweb drone strikes are the new nightmare fuel. Meanwhile, Trump deploys 2,000 National Guard troops to L.A., the Air Force downs another billion on wingman drones, and Space Force is somehow both broke and booming.
The DoD can’t acquire software on time, the Air Force is buying nap boxes instead of fixing actual morale, and Space Force wants $4B more to figu...

Send us a text
In today’s Daily Drop, Jared’s back to walk you through a spicy buffet of government overreach, UFO shenanigans, and military budget cosplay. NORCOM’s moving troops into L.A., Newsom’s throwing a federal tantrum, and the Pentagon is apparently deleting Signal messages like they’re hiding UFOs—because, spoiler alert: they kind of are.
We’ve got dive-deep takes on the Air Force’s nuclear glow-up, Space Force’s identity crisis (again), and why the B-1B is still the king of air-dropped “nope.” Also, if you ever wanted to know how Nor...

Strap in, nerds — it's time for another brutally honest, occasionally aggressive PSA from your favorite cynical pipehitters. Aaron, Jared, and Trent are done pretending like your DMs are cute. This episode is a tactical nuke on all the dumbass questions that keep clogging our inboxes like an MRE-induced constipation crisis.
Are you 25 and feeling “too old”? Shut up. Asking if you should delay shipping because your runtime is 0.3 seconds off? Delay your dreams forever, why not. Unsure whether you should be a PJ, CCT, SR, or join the FBI to fight aliens...
Ops Brief 057: Daily Drop - 6 June 2025 (Billion Dollar Planes & Space Force Daddy Issues)
Send us a text
The Daily Drop is here and this one is overflowing with fraud, firepower, and the federal fumble reel. Jared dives into the Pentagon’s latest week of insanity: $10.8B in fraud? Check. Hypersonic missiles making a comeback? Check. A free Qatari plane that’s somehow costing $400M to modify? Check. And that’s before we even get to the Air Force’s new anti-ship missile flex, transgender cadet policy chaos, and the absurd SpaceX-White House pissing match.
Oh yeah—Space Force nostalgia? F-47 cockpit speculation? Missileer cancer rates? Welcome to another episode of...

Send us a text
Strap in, nerds. This episode is Peaches, raw and unfiltered—no Aaron, no Trent, no buffer. Just one man, one mic, and 46 minutes of Combat Controller origin story, featuring: childhood trauma via Lethal Weapon, a trifold pamphlet that somehow convinced him to join the Air Force, and a fratricide incident that definitely wasn’t in the recruiting video.
If you've ever wondered how a 5’4” kid with a soccer background, a VHS tape, and a chip on his shoulder turned into a JTAC legend, mentor, podcaster, and actual military boogeyman—this is it...
Ops Brief 056: Daily Drop - 5 June 2025 (Dronepocalypse Now & No Soup For The Navy!)

It’s another beautifully chaotic episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, and today we’re launching straight into the bureaucratic bonfire. Jared's back with updates so wild you’d think the Pentagon was drunk texting Congress. From billion-dollar GPS launches to PFAS exposure going prime time, we’re diving headfirst into drone dread, six-gen fighter delays, Space Force spending black holes, and the VA disability floodgates cracking wide open.
Also: A WWII hero finally gets his due, Canada's prepping for WWIII by 2028, and NATO’s still hoping its members hit 2% defense sp...

Strap in and put your outrage pants on, because this Ones Ready Daily Drop is pure Pentagon chaos. Jared drops a firestorm of updates faster than a drone swarm over Belgorod. NATO wants 5% GDP? Greenland’s back on the menu? Pete Hegseth skips Ukraine for brunch in Brussels? And oh yeah — $38 MILLION for a child development center that could’ve bought an entire gated suburb in Vegas.
We hit drone warfare’s brutal reality check, the baffling state of U.S. air defenses, and why letting China buy farmland next to our miss...

Send us a text
Welcome to another episode of the “Daily Drop,” where Jared breaks down the chaos disguised as a defense budget. We’re talking about a $1 trillion spendathon featuring: cutting cybersecurity staff during peak cyber threat season, trying to mass-produce drones in 24 hours with foreign parts we don’t make, and senior leaders treating AI like it’s witchcraft.
You’ll also get the inside scoop on how our Space Force is flexing with rapid GPS launches (kind of), why cutting Air Force Academy faculty could kneecap future warfighters, and which senator is still obsess...
Ops Brief 053: Daily Drop - 2 June 2025 (We’re Not Winning in Africa & Space Is a Mess)

In this chaotic return to the Daily Drop, Jared barrels through a no-holds-barred rundown of DOD chaos, diplomatic double-speak, and the ongoing clown show in space. The Pentagon’s trying to win hearts and minds in Somalia with airstrikes, Space Force is low-key getting circled by Russian sats, and we’re hoping AI can save Indopaycom’s wargames. Spoiler: it won’t.
Jared dives into all of it — including the Thunderbirds doc that actually slapped (yes, really), privatized base hotels, and a new Kunsan commander who’s literally cleaning up her husband’s me...

Some dudes show up shredded with swagger. Others show up ready to grind. Rylan Tanner showed up both — and still had to bleed for it. In this brutally honest episode, Aaron and Jared break down the rise, stall, and redemption of one of the most talked-about Special Warfare candidates to come through the prep pipeline.
You’ll hear about what it’s like to crush PSTs and still struggle, the lessons of humility when leadership doesn’t think you’re ready, and why “doing everything right” sometimes still ends with you getting droppe...

Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where sarcasm is a love language and tough love is free. In this episode, Aaron, Trent, and Peaches go full scorched earth on the real MVPs of military recruiting… overbearing parents. You know the type—rolling into recruiter offices like it’s a job interview at Deloitte, trying to “negotiate” their precious child’s dream career in the Air Force.
If you think your 18-year-old can’t speak to another adult without backup, this one’s for you. We’re talking about enabling, entitlement, and how the “helic...

Let’s get one thing straight—Charlie Faint isn’t just an intel officer. He’s the intel officer that made it through JSOC, the 160th, and now West Point without once becoming a PowerPoint nerd with security clearance delusions. In this episode, we dig into his warrior-scholar journey—from nearly drowning in a flight suit during selection to launching the Havoc Journal and mentoring cadets who think Platoon is a recruiting video.
We cover everything: JSOC mythos, combat intel screw-ups, the Rangers' OPSEC paranoia, mentoring Gen Z cadets with TikTo...

It started with jokes about zippers and tight flight suits—and somehow ended with tears, respect, and emotional damage. In this episode, Jared and Aaron go full live-reaction mode to Netflix’s Thunderbirds documentary, expecting to roast some high-speed sky dancers… but end up with a full-blown redemption arc, complete with G-locks, dumb call signs, and some real leadership lessons.
They question if the show is harder than combat, mock staged B-roll, and coin the term “Swag Maintainer,” all while secretly (and not-so-secretly) falling in love with the team. This isn’t just about...

Today’s drop is brought to you by… anger, caffeine, and one last damn slot for the Operator Training Summit. Jared’s back with a full-frontal assault on the newest batch of DoD clownery: airframes that are being “upgraded” before they even exist, moving programs that still don’t move anything, and bonus cuts that would make a finance troop cry in DFAS-approved tears.
We’ve got everything from Russia testing nuclear air-to-air missiles to the Space Force getting 3% of the budget while being told to dominate orbit. The E-7 still isn’t here, Ch...
Ep 474: Why the Air Force Can’t Budget or Tailor a Damn Uniform

Welcome back, peasants. In this spicy no-ads-needed episode, the Ones Ready crew tears into the mind-numbing chaos that is the DoD’s budgeting incompetence. From canceled bonuses to SkillBridge chaos and the eternal mystery of why military uniforms fit nobody, this is your front-row seat to the clown show that is Pentagon-level “planning.”
Also? If you thought complaining about gear was just a “female” issue, strap in. We’re about to tell you why literally everyone from PJs to SEALs has been modifying crap for decades—and no, it’s not the patriarchy...

If today’s Pentagon brief were a movie, it’d be a dark comedy with no budget and a glitchy drone trying to play hero. Jared returns with another savage rundown of everything broken in military bureaucracy—from the $18B PCS debacle to the Air Force accidentally playing bumper cars with drones mid-flight.
We’re talking Space Force funding so bad it’s practically space homelessness, transgender policy whiplash, B-21 bombers being bought like Costco bulk snacks, and a DoD so addicted to credit it’d make Congress blush. Add in China flexin...

Strap in, kids—this episode is a buffet of DoD chaos, spicy geopolitical moves, and “WTF are we even doing?” headlines. Jared unleashes on everything from the sketchiest Air Force One replacement idea ever (thanks, Qatar) to Golden Dome missile pipe dreams and the absolute circus that is Cyber Command’s latest identity crisis.
We’re also sending ICE to Marine bases, cutting 14% of Space Force civilians (brilliant), and relying on $26 million to keep Reserve pilots in the sky. Oh, and if you thought privatizing base lodging was gonna save anyone money—LOL...
Ops Brief 049: Daily Drop - 20 May 2025 (Bonus Cuts & PCS Chao)
Send us a text
In this extended Daily Drop, Jared unleashes a tactical nuke of sarcasm on the Pentagon’s parade of WTF decisions. From billion-dollar contracts imploding to Airmen stuck in retirement limbo, it’s clear nobody’s steering this defense dumpster fire. Cyber Command wants to be SOCOM now (because that worked so well before), troops can’t move because the PCS fairy ran out of money, and SpaceX is somehow our last hope in space. Also: PFAS water, political drama, and Congress failing military families… again.

We’re sitting down with Drew Outstanding (@drewoutstanding on X), a badass Army vet who went from slinging Applebee’s two-for-20s to slaying in Iraq, only to get sucker-punched by the DOD’s “safe and effective” COVID vaccine mandate. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t safe, and it damn sure wasn’t effective. One day after the jab, Drew was paralyzed, thrown into a medically induced coma, and diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome.

In this high-velocity “WTF is happening?” episode of the Ones Ready podcast, Jared pulls no punches breaking down the latest Pentagon finance dumpster fire—because apparently, the Air Force’s solution to a budget shortfall is to hit pause on YOUR retirement and nuke the Selective Retention Bonus mid-fiscal year. Classic.
We’re talking cancelled bonuses, delayed separation orders, SkillBridge chaos, and the mind-blowing revelation that even the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force got blindsided. If you thought Big Blue had a plan, lol, think again.

May 16’s Daily Drop is here, and it’s a clinic in chaos. Jared dives headfirst into a flaming pile of Air Force mismanagement, with everything from canceled retention bonuses to space-based missile defense initiatives nobody budgeted for.
We’re talking about the Pentagon quietly prepping to boot transgender service members, the DoD admitting it can’t staff enough school counselors, and the Air Force building new ICBM silos because fixing the old ones would just be too easy.
Meanwhile, Space Force is trying to juggle in-orbit refueling, satellite sensors...

Strap in, degenerates. In this brutally honest, no-holds-barred episode of Ones Ready, we sit down with Recon Marine, The War Journal author, intelligence community insider, and potential future Ambassador to Afghanistan—James. Freakin’ Sisco.
This isn’t your average “rah-rah” war story episode. Sisco takes us deep into the grit and grime of Desert Storm, recounts the absolute hilarity of rolling into combat with Oakleys and Guns N’ Roses, and then slams you into an emotional brick wall with betrayal, loss, and the aftermath of trauma stuffed into a rucksack for 30 years.
