Buckle up. In this flaming hot Ones Ready drop, Peaches unloads on the latest Air Force news like it’s target practice. From the Pentagon’s DEI purge to putting cruise missiles on MQ-9s (because why not?), we’re diving deep into the bureaucratic chaos of the DoD’s week. We question why the hell an OA-1K would carry a cruise missile, throw shade at “aspirational” tech projects, and get uncomfortably honest about childcare, base closures, and how many damn generals are collecting paychecks. Also, our only search and rescue dog retires, and it gets emotional. Pour one out for Callie.

Meanwhile, only four slots remain for the Operator Training Summit—12 hours in the pool, mask clearing, buddy breathing, underwater misery and mentorship with the Ones Ready crew. Don’t miss your shot to suffer with a purpose in San Diego this June.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• DEI content is out, and merit-based military academy admissions are (finally) in
• The DoD’s “Golden Dome” wants to hog more spectrum—and maybe accuracy
• Tricare got people out here wondering if they even have healthcare
• Cruise missiles on Reapers? Okay. On OA-1Ks? LOL.
• Eglen cuts childcare hours, shift workers take the hit
• ACC’s new “Readiness Metrics” are... probably not operational yet
• Callie the SAR dog retires after jumping out of more planes than some lieutenants
• Cannon AFB slander remains undefeated.
