Welcome to your no-fluff, sarcasm-fueled download of the Ones Ready Ops Brief for July 17th. In this episode, we cover everything from Excel-budget nightmares and B-1 Lancer drama to Space Force doing... whatever it is Space Force does. Jared rips through the latest military headlines with his signature blend of humor, eye rolls, and reluctant patriotism.

We kick things off with a sneak peek at the Operator Training Summit and a shoutout to the surprisingly effective (and very unscammed) Tasty Gains gummies. Then it’s all gas, no brakes through a gauntlet of DoD absurdities: pipe-dream weapon standardization in NATO, a billion-dollar GPS system that’s somehow still in testing, and the Air Force saving $10 billion by using—wait for it—Excel. Yeah, that’s a real thing.

We wrap with cyber hacks, Ukraine fatigue, F-35 wishlists, and a whole lot of “wait, that’s real?” moments. Buckle up, this one's got teeth.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 👀 The Air Force saved $10B with spreadsheets—and possibly divine intervention
• 💣 B-1 crash blamed on “culture” (aka leadership dysfunction)
• 🇵🇭 U.S. building a fast boat base in the Philippines to troll China

• 🕵️‍♂️ Chinese hackers breached a National Guard network for months
• ✈️ F-35 procurement may triple, if the retired generals get their way
• 🔄 NATO urged to stop mooching off U.S. military hardware
• 📉 Ukraine war strategy: hope, vibes, and more funding
• 🧢 Fort Bragg name flip-flop continues to be an identity crisis in slow motion
