From the tragic news of CMSAF Flosi’s loss, to General Allvin’s early retirement, to Wilsbach’s DEI flip-flops and obsession with uniforms—this episode is a rollercoaster of military drama and unfiltered hot takes. Expect snark about fat generals, the “broken windows” theory of PT standards, political rumors about Trump donors, and why Peaches thinks General Minihan is the warrior the Air Force actually needs. If you thought the Pentagon was boring, buckle up—this is the no-BS breakdown you didn’t know you needed.

    Ops Brief 129: Daily Drop - 24 Feb 2026 - B-21 Acceleration, A-10 Farewell, and a $4.5B Bomber Push

    24/02/2026 | 28 mins.
    Send a text
    This Daily Drop covers multiple days of movement across the force—and there’s a lot to unpack.
    The Army is integrating AI into doctrine writing, launching drone competitions, and standing up a rapid soldier innovation office. The Navy is chasing new anti-radar missile capability while looking at sailor burnout and at-sea tour changes. The Marine Corps is digitizing the battlefield and pushing hard on mental health messaging.
    The Air Force? It’s a mix of progress and pain. The A-10 depot mission at Hill is officially ending. The B-21 Raider just got a $4.5B acceleration deal targeting 2027. Collaborative combat aircraft are entering armed testing. AI is moving into air operations centers.
    Space Force is arguing for faster expansion after real-world operational demand in Iran and Venezuela highlighted capability gaps.
    Plus: VA disability rule backlash, Medal of Honor news, fraud indictments, pet PCS warnings, and why abandoning your dog makes you a terrible human.
    No hype. Just what’s moving.

    Ep 564: $99 Million for “Coaching”? Air Force Contracting and Leadership Drift

    23/02/2026 | 56 mins.
    Send a text
    This one gets spicy.
    Peaches, Aaron, and Trent dig into a $99 million Air Force coaching contract and ask the uncomfortable question: why are we outsourcing leadership?
    When NCOs and officers are supposed to mentor, coach, correct, and develop their people, what happens when that responsibility gets handed to a third-party company? What are we losing in the process? Reps. Hard conversations. Ownership. Growth.
    The guys break down contracting culture, institutional drift, how outsourcing became the easy button, and why paying civilians to “coach” Airmen might actually be robbing future leaders of the experience they need.
    They also hit on PME, leadership development, range training, the difference between logistics support and skill outsourcing, and how money gets justified inside big systems.
    It’s not anti-contractor. It’s anti-lazy leadership.
    And yes… it ends with a gold medal hockey celebration because America.

    MBRS 101: Hollywood Hostage Rescues, Weather Nerd War Heroes, and Yes… Aliens

    23/02/2026 | 53 mins.
    Send a text
    This week it’s just Peaches and Trent doing what they do best—talking shop, talking trash, and pulling back the curtain on real-world military experience.
    Trent just wrapped a full-blown hostage rescue film project with helicopters, free fall, K9 bites, Rangers, and 16-hour days. No Hollywood fluff—just a bunch of former SOF dudes trying to pull off a legit tactical production without a billion-dollar budget. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into recreating real operations on camera, this is it.
    They also dive into Olympic drama, speed skating carnage, the new D-Day weather movie, why special operations weather actually mattered in WWII, and whether declassified alien files are about to break the internet—or disappoint everyone.
    It’s equal parts military ops, filmmaking chaos, veteran brain health, OTS prep pressure, and calling out internet keyboard warriors who demand resumes in the comments.
    No script. No filter. Just experience talking.

    Ep 563: AFSW Attribute - Integrity

    20/02/2026 | 23 mins.
    Send a text
    This episode tackles the most important—and most misunderstood—attribute in Air Force Special Warfare: integrity. Aaron and Peaches break down why integrity isn’t about being perfect, looking good, or avoiding trouble—it’s about owning mistakes immediately, telling the truth when it costs you, and keeping your word when no one is watching. From ND ownership, DUIs, and pipeline consequences to combat decision-making, gray-area ethics, and trust inside elite teams, this is a blunt reality check. You can’t fake integrity, and once it’s gone, nothing else matters. If you want to be trusted with lives, secrets, and missions, this is where it starts.
