Welcome to the Ones Ready war room, where Peaches torches the news with a blowtorch of sarcasm and truth bombs. In this Ops Brief:

• The DoD is building a “not-a-prison” at Fort Bliss because we’re out of room for illegal immigrants (shocker).
• The Coast Guard just pissed off every cartel by bagging $88M in drugs.
• Khalid Sheikh Mohammed pled guilty to 9/11…but only to dodge the death penalty. Apparently, suicide bombers are for other people.
• Meanwhile, the Air Force flexes green energy clout, denies early retirement to transitioning members, and runs joint ops in hell-on-earth Arizona.
• Space Force holds a gladiator-style competition to prove they can lift more than laptops.
  Buckle up for chaos, hot takes, and zero apologies.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Fort Bliss is now Fort Holding Tank
• Coast Guard: 1, Cartel: 0 ($88M seized 💰)
• 9/11 mastermind takes plea deal—won’t die for his own cause 🤡
• Space Force hosts Roman-gladiator cosplay with kettlebells
• DoD drops mini nukes in Alaska—for energy, not war (yet)
• Air Force PT still causing heart attacks. Stop dry-scooping pre-workout, nerds.

Think active duty is the only path? Derrick Blake would like a word—preferably during his 3-day weekend. From almost joining the Marines to wrenching on A-10s and recruiting for the 193rd Special Operations Wing, Derrick walks us through how the Air National Guard let him stay home, stack checks, and still deploy to undisclosed sandbox locations. Oh, and did we mention you start getting paid before basic? Yeah. This one’s going to ruffle some feathers—and we love it.

We talk Guard myths vs. facts, how student flight is the low-key cheat code, and why most people have no damn clue what the Guard even is. If you’re trying to join TACP or EOD through the Guard and haven’t hit up Derrick yet, what are you even doing?

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 🎯 Enlist in the Guard? Get paid before BMT. Yes, seriously.
• 🛩️ A-10 crew chief by trade, recruiter by mission, sarcasm by default.
• 🧠 ASVAB prep = life trajectory. Don’t flunk your future.
• 🏋️ TACP prep in the Guard is no joke—expect the gauntlet.
• 😬 Meds, motivation, and mustaches—what’s disqualifying and what’s just annoying.

Peaches is back with a savage ops brief for August 7th—spitting truth, roasting bureaucracy, and dragging the Air Force’s finest decisions through the mud. Public Affairs thought they could silence him by revoking access to curated news updates (LOL), but jokes on them—he's still lighting up your eardrums. From Cybertrucks as target practice to tragic gate incidents to the DOD quietly spending $175B on a missile shield no one’s allowed to talk about, this one's packed with headshakers, jaw-droppers, and classic Ones Ready sass. Come for the updates, stay for the chaos.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 🧹 DOD slashes DTIC staff from 154 to 40—guess they found 114 people doing nothing
• 💥 Ukraine gets $104M in Howitzer support (yes, that big boom stick is 155mm)
• 🛳️ Navy wants five new Columbia-class submarines—early contracts, big money
• 💀 Dementia and diabetes lead to two separate base gate tragedies—zero-win scenarios
• 🧪 Cybertrucks as live-fire targets? Peak 2025 energy
• 🤡 $934M may have been yeeted from nukes to pimp out a Qatari 747 as Air Force One
• 🪖 Airman dies during PT test… and the internet still cries about a two-mile run
• 🎯 Bracer Forge kicks off: Baby’s first warrior week, now in Tech School
