Today’s Ones Ready daily drop is live, chaotic, and absolutely unfiltered. Peaches is back with the May 13th Pentagon dumpster fire, bringing you face-to-face with the DoD’s awkward puberty phase—complete with budget panic, stop-loss PTSD flashbacks, anti-satellite power moves, and the government realizing maybe it should let junior officers make some decisions. Also: cannon fodder for Cannon AFB (again), HIMARS over Taiwan, and a real-life Olympian joining the Air Force after drowning (and surviving). You literally can’t make this up.

Still sleeping on the Operator Training Summit? Four slots left. You don’t want to be the one DM’ing after it’s full, begging for forgiveness. Get in or get smoked.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Cyberwarfare gets a glow-up: New teams activated. Still no Space Force Cyber Command though, because why rush?
• DoD halts gender-affirming care for 4,200 troops—cue the morale discussions no one will have in public.
• Guantanamo migrant flights cost $21M—but hey, that's cheap compared to one policy failure.
• Air Force budget in a flat spin: Stop-loss rumors, retirement delays, and nothing’s getting funded.
• F-35s headed to Japan… unless someone else calls dibs
• Israeli support via F-15Es gets tactical AF—less than 24 hours from wheels down to weapons hot
• An Olympian joins WCAP after a near-death experience—because Air Force flex.
• Cannon AFB slander? Still undefeated.
• Taiwan flexes HIMARS at China for $165K a pop—straight bargain.
• Space Force wants faster trigger-pull authority on anti-satellite ops—Senior Airman with a joystick, anyone?
• Watch Huntsville real estate if you want to know where HQ is going next.
