This Daily Drop hits heroism, policy shifts, and geopolitical tension in one tight package.

President Trump presented the Medal of Honor to Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover for extraordinary heroism during the Maduro raid. The 160th SOAR pilot was wounded under fire and still completed the mission. It’s the kind of quiet professionalism the Night Stalkers are known for—even if he’d rather not be in the spotlight.

The Army is experimenting with auction-style retention bonuses for senior warrant officers. The Navy’s EOD teams are training in extreme Arctic conditions. The Coast Guard is intercepting migrant vessels while dealing with funding uncertainty.

The VA has indefinitely paused the controversial disability ratings rule that would have factored medication effects into compensation decisions. That story isn’t over.

Meanwhile, Japan is bolstering air defenses near Taiwan, and satellite imagery shows a new Chinese nuclear-powered attack submarine entering the fleet.

Operational tempo isn’t slowing down.

This Daily Drop covers multiple days of movement across the force—and there’s a lot to unpack.

The Army is integrating AI into doctrine writing, launching drone competitions, and standing up a rapid soldier innovation office. The Navy is chasing new anti-radar missile capability while looking at sailor burnout and at-sea tour changes. The Marine Corps is digitizing the battlefield and pushing hard on mental health messaging.

The Air Force? It’s a mix of progress and pain. The A-10 depot mission at Hill is officially ending. The B-21 Raider just got a $4.5B acceleration deal targeting 2027. Collaborative combat aircraft are entering armed testing. AI is moving into air operations centers.

Space Force is arguing for faster expansion after real-world operational demand in Iran and Venezuela highlighted capability gaps.

Plus: VA disability rule backlash, Medal of Honor news, fraud indictments, pet PCS warnings, and why abandoning your dog makes you a terrible human.

No hype. Just what’s moving.

This one gets spicy.

Peaches, Aaron, and Trent dig into a $99 million Air Force coaching contract and ask the uncomfortable question: why are we outsourcing leadership?

When NCOs and officers are supposed to mentor, coach, correct, and develop their people, what happens when that responsibility gets handed to a third-party company? What are we losing in the process? Reps. Hard conversations. Ownership. Growth.

The guys break down contracting culture, institutional drift, how outsourcing became the easy button, and why paying civilians to “coach” Airmen might actually be robbing future leaders of the experience they need.

They also hit on PME, leadership development, range training, the difference between logistics support and skill outsourcing, and how money gets justified inside big systems.

It’s not anti-contractor. It’s anti-lazy leadership.

And yes… it ends with a gold medal hockey celebration because America.

This week it’s just Peaches and Trent doing what they do best—talking shop, talking trash, and pulling back the curtain on real-world military experience.

Trent just wrapped a full-blown hostage rescue film project with helicopters, free fall, K9 bites, Rangers, and 16-hour days. No Hollywood fluff—just a bunch of former SOF dudes trying to pull off a legit tactical production without a billion-dollar budget. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into recreating real operations on camera, this is it.

They also dive into Olympic drama, speed skating carnage, the new D-Day weather movie, why special operations weather actually mattered in WWII, and whether declassified alien files are about to break the internet—or disappoint everyone.

It’s equal parts military ops, filmmaking chaos, veteran brain health, OTS prep pressure, and calling out internet keyboard warriors who demand resumes in the comments.

No script. No filter. Just experience talking.

This episode tackles the most important—and most misunderstood—attribute in Air Force Special Warfare: integrity. Aaron and Peaches break down why integrity isn’t about being perfect, looking good, or avoiding trouble—it’s about owning mistakes immediately, telling the truth when it costs you, and keeping your word when no one is watching. From ND ownership, DUIs, and pipeline consequences to combat decision-making, gray-area ethics, and trust inside elite teams, this is a blunt reality check. You can’t fake integrity, and once it’s gone, nothing else matters. If you want to be trusted with lives, secrets, and missions, this is where it starts.

⏱️ Timestamps:
 00:00 Ones Ready intro and why integrity matters
 02:00 Attributes-based selection explained
 04:10 Defining integrity—owning mistakes
 07:20 Ego, lies, and instant loss of trust
 10:30 Life, wife, and truck—what trust really means
 14:00 Team rooms, cages, and high-trust culture
 17:45 Integrity with yourself before selection
 21:30 DUIs, omissions, and why lying compounds pain
 26:00 Ethical dilemmas and gray-area decisions
 31:10 Combat examples and moral injury
 36:00 Integrity feeds every other attribute

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.

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.

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.

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.
