Ops Brief 069: Daily Drop - 2 July 2025 (B-2 Upgrades & The Air Force Rage Quits)
The Air Force is bleeding instructors, CENTCOM's next boss is a mystery wrapped in vagueness, and the B-2 is getting a glow-up because, well, the B-21 still isn’t ready. In this Daily Drop, Jared dives into the military’s latest budget frenzy, Iran’s Cold War cosplay, and why creatine is now part of his mental warfare toolkit. From wildfires pulling Guard troops off security gigs to Cyber Command begging for updated dial-up, it's another day of chaos, caffeine, and congressional cash grabs. Oh—and Space Force is building GPS knockoffs just in case things get really spicy. Buckle up, nerds.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- 🧠 Creatine isn't just for your biceps—it’s for your brain now, apparently.
- 🇪🇺 EUCOM warns the Cold War is back, just with more memes and TikTok.
- 🧨 CENTCOM’s new nominee is “visionary”… but also unnamed. Cool.
- 🤖 DoD is going hard on AI, with $789M for drone wingmen. Skynet vibes.
- 🔥 Wildfires > Guard security missions. California re-prioritizes.
- 🛢️ Tanker budget talk: $100M is now a “drop in the bucket.”
- 🧑🏫 USAFA loses 50+ civilian instructors. Toxic work environment? Shocking.
- ✈️ B-2 gets upgraded while we all wait on the elusive B-21.
- 🛰️ Space Force launches satellites, fights spoofing, mourns a leader.
- ☢️ Iran plays peekaboo with nuclear monitors and threatens email leaks.
- 🎬 Stargate SG-1: apparently too sci-fi without Air Force oversight.
