Peaches is back with your August 11 Ops Brief — and as always, the military circus doesn’t disappoint. From the DoD’s 76th birthday party (cake not included) to the Navy handing CENTCOM over like a hot potato, it’s been a week. We hit the SkillsBridge hustle, Red Flag roaring over Nellis, Space Force flexing with upgraded sensors and a part-time gig option, and yes — a Guard Special Tactics Squadron in Tampa is on the way. Also, we cover why the X-37B space plane might be cooler than your favorite sci-fi movie. Buckle up — this is your unapologetic, caffeine-fueled sitrep.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • DoD hits 76 years of “peace through strength” and global flexing
  • Navy Admiral Cooper takes CENTCOM from the Army — joint drama continues
  • SkillsBridge: your ticket to post-military life if your chain says yes
  • Red Flag Nellis turns the desert into a decibel warzone
  • Air Battle Managers + AI = faster, meaner, deadlier C2
  • Space Force upgrades sensors, preps the X-37B, and offers part-time gigs
  • Florida Guard STS approved — Pararescue, CCT, SR, TACP all in the mix
  • Fallen Airman from Vietnam finally comes home
  • Boeing bags $2.8B for space dominance
