  • Ops Brief 039: Daily Drop - 2 May 2025 (Stray Dogs and Space Force Special Ops...LFG!)
    May 2 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome to the May 2nd Daily Drop, where Jared breaks down the absolute fever dream that is today’s Air Force memo—everything from piano-burning ceremonies to Space Force launching a special operations element (yes, you read that right). This episode’s a rollercoaster through military bureaucracy, geopolitical chaos, and some straight-up “wait… what?” moments.

    We’re talking about 8,000 troops at the southern border, the Air Force testing robo-wingmen, Japan mad about a B-1 bomber blocking their runway, and Guam getting overrun by 25,000 stray dogs (no, seriously). Also, shoutout to the Air Force for helping control said dogs… because readiness, I guess?

    Throw in canceled Iran nuclear talks, a new missile shield with a suspiciously biblical name (“Golden Dome”), and a nominee for Undersecretary getting roasted for telling the truth—and you’ve got an episode that proves the Pentagon never sleeps… but maybe should.

    👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, leave a review, comment, and snag some Ones Ready merch while you’re at it. And yeah—get your butt signed up for the Operator Training Summit in June.

    🔥 Key Takeaways:

    • 🪖 Second military zone set up at the southern border—with warships. Because nothing says “border patrol” like a Navy destroyer.
    • 📉 Military sexual assault reports down 4%… harassment up 1%. Progress?
    • 🚀 Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile shield is happening. Prepare for biblical memes.
    • 🤖 Collaborative Combat Aircraft testing kicks off—robo-wingmen inbound.
    • 💸 $620 million more for Pacific military exercises. Taiwan gets $850M. Everyone else? Figure it out.
    • ✈️ B-1B emergency landing shuts down Japan’s airport for 90 minutes. Oops.
    • 🐶 Guam has 25,000 stray dogs and the Air Force is on cleanup duty.
    • 🎹 Burning pianos is still a thing. And we’re here for it.
    • 🌌 Space Force building its own special ops element. Time to spec ops… in space.
    • 🛰️ Space Force drops $237 million on small satellites. Elon’s somewhere smiling.
    • 💬 “Lessons from 1958” = AKA we’re still winging Taiwan policy.

  • Ep 466: Sleep Is Not for the Weak—You're Just Bad at It With Dr. Leah Kaylor
    May 2 2025

    Send us a text

    In this brutally honest and surprisingly soothing episode, Peaches teams up with Dr. Leah Kaylor—THE sleep czar of the FBI (no, seriously)—to talk about the one thing that could make you a better operator, athlete, student, or just a more tolerable human: sleep.

    Dr. Kaylor isn’t here to fluff your pillow. She's here to fix your broken circadian rhythm, crush your excuses, and maybe ruin your pre-workout addiction. From early morning sun hacks to why your phone is wrecking your melatonin, this episode is a no-BS masterclass in reclaiming your performance through better sleep hygiene. And no, power naps are not your savior.

    Whether you're a sleep-deprived teen thinking about BUD/S or a 30-something warfighter trying to pretend that 5 hours and a ghost of REM is “fine”—this episode is your wake-up call (literally).

    🔥 Key Takeaways:

    • The 3 S’s of what your bed is actually for: sleep, sex, and sickness.
    • If you fall asleep instantly, congrats—you’re severely sleep-deprived.
    • Pre-workout at 9PM? You’re not hard. You’re hormonal.
    • Caffeine has a half-life. Stop drinking it like it’s tactical hydration.
    • Naps = snacks. Don’t ruin your Thanksgiving dinner.
    • Blue light at night tells your brain it’s noon—nice job, dopamine addict.
    • Fix your morning routine and your body will stop waking up at 3AM like it’s haunted.

  • Ops Brief 038: Daily Drop - 1 May 2025 (Broken Jets and Pentagon Audit Fails)
    May 1 2025

    Send us a text

    In today’s Daily Drop, Jared pulls no punches while breaking down the latest military circus—from AFN killing off its podcasts (wait, they had podcasts?) to the Air Force Academy gutting its own rocket science faculty because “budget.” And just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder: Space Force is dropping a documentary… and no, it’s not sci-fi.

    We’ve got F-35 inventory fraud ($11 billion missing? Casual.), Travis AFB potentially doubling as an immigration detention center (because why not?), and the Air Force cutting family days because “readiness.” Oh, and the Pentagon still can’t pass an audit. But sure, let’s launch more documentaries instead of fixing jets.

    Tune in for a raw, snarky breakdown of the memo that hits generals’ inboxes but never gets real talk—until now. And yeah, you’re gonna want to sit down for this one.

    👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment, hit that notification bell, snag some merch at onesready.com, and maybe check out a summit that won’t get canceled like half the DoD’s programs.

    🔥 Key Takeaways:

    • 💥 12,000 civilian jobs cut in the Air Force = “readiness” nightmare.
    • 🛩️ $11 billion in F-35 inventory fraud… and they just noticed.
    • 🏗️ Travis AFB might house immigrants now. Totally normal.
    • 🎧 AFN kills podcasts nobody knew existed.
    • 🤦‍♂️ Air Force Academy slashes rocket science professors, but keeps the PR machine alive.
    • 🚀 Space Force documentary “Always Above” premieres… for who exactly?
    • 💰 Pentagon audit? LOL. Still failing.
    • 👨‍👩‍👧 Family days axed “for lethality.” Because tired airmen = lethal airmen?
