Buckle up, buttercups—Jared's back in the Ones Ready team room, dishing out yesterday's DoD drama because the PAO couldn't update today's headlines. Hegeth's memo: stop being bureaucratic wimps, buy American drones fast—excessive caution is the enemy. Joint air drills with B-52s flexing on North Korea; AI saving lives in mass casualties; SOCOM slashing Skyraider buys in half, likely budget tight. Jared throws shade at AFSOC's PAO for dodging his interview ask, calls out China's South China Sea bullying flop, cheers Senate's A-10 rescue (thunder lives!). Wraps with cyber fails, Turkey's F-35 snub (beat it, nerds), and pushing for service members' right to repair gear without contractor scams. Tired of bland military news? This is your sarcastic, straight-talk wake-up from Ones Ready—no apologies.

Key Takeaways:
- Hegeth's drone memo: Stop being cowards and buy American expendables ASAP—excessive caution is the real enemy. 😤
- SOCOM halves OA-1K buys: From 12 to 6 in FY26, delaying the fleet but keeping the 75-goal dream alive—funding drama incoming.
- Joint drills galore: B-52s over Korea, naval logistics pacts with Aussies and Japan—deterring North Korea and China like it's 1945 all over again.
- Air Force recruiting rebound: 15K in delayed entry, but did they just move the goalposts post-COVID? Jury's out.
- Senate saves A-10s: Retaining 100+ Thunderbolts in the NDAA—11th-hour heroics for the Warthog warriors. 🛩️
- Right to repair push: Warriors deserve to fix gear without voiding warranties—screw the contractor scams.
- Operator Training Summit announced: Nashville, Oct 25-26—land PT day one, pool drown-proofing day two. Get wet or go home.
