Welcome to another unfiltered Ones Ready daily drop, where we scan the Pentagon's inbox so you don't have to. Today's episode is jammed with everything from micro nuclear reactors to the Space Command slap fight, and we even toss in some childcare policy chaos—because why not?

Jared breaks down what the Air Force and Space Force are actually up to (spoiler: some of it's impressive, some of it's… less so). Whether it's China’s hypersonic flexing, Germany’s Starlink breakup, or another case of “Oops, we deleted history” with the Thunderbirds’ first female pilot, it’s all here. Oh, and did we mention a rocket plant exploded? That happened too.

This one’s for the curious, the cynical, and everyone wondering what the hell is going on at the Air Force Academy.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• China could “take Taiwan in 14 days” — but only if maps stop existing.
• Hypersonic missiles aren’t just fast, they’re terrifyingly accurate.
• Micro nuclear reactors: finally, the DoD’s clean energy pivot that doesn’t involve windmills.
• 90% of Space Command said “hard pass” to Alabama—ouch.
• DEI purges = historical memory loss. Just ask the first female Thunderbird.
• Air Force Academy: Less “education,” more warrior ethos (and faculty cuts).
• F-35s playing quarterback with artillery like it’s Call of Duty.
• Grumman’s rocket facility went boom—casually buried in the briefs.
• DoD school lawsuits, ACLU, censorship drama… all happening while the childcare centers can’t hire.
