Today’s Daily Drop is brought to you by: chaos. Jared’s on one, the Public Affairs Office is finally back in the saddle, and we’re neck-deep in Pentagon leaks, Guard drama, Space Force growing pains, and morale breakdowns at the Air Force Academy.

In this episode:
 🚨 Former advisors under leak investigation while the Defense Secretary is out here Signal-chatting like it’s group text with grandma
 🤖 AI drones are delivering your MREs in the Indo-Pacific
 📉 The Academy is falling apart while still claiming it’s world-class
 💻 Air Force computers = Windows 98 with a badge
 🛰️ The Space Force is building war doctrine while governors are throwing shade
 🌌 And China’s anti-satellite weapons might end this whole party early

We also cover the B-21 flex, Lockheed finally playing nice, and why outsourcing IT might be the most patriotic thing we do all year.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • The Air Force’s IT is still powered by dial-up and sadness
  • ACE = "everyone does everything now, good luck"
  • Space Force: making doctrine, taking names, dodging governors
  • Signal Chat leaks: OPSEC is optional if you’re high enough up
  • AI drones are cool, until they deliver your Chick-fil-A to the wrong theater
  • The Air Force Academy might be turning into DeVry with jets
  • B-21 costs $477M to say “maybe faster later”
  • China’s out here prepping to blind satellites. Cool.
