Ops Brief 073: Daily Drop - 10 July 2025 (We Bombed Iran, Moved F-16s, & Still Can’t Share Simulators)
It’s July 10th, and the Daily Drop is back with Jared dropping truth bombs harder than a B-1 on afterburner. From the announcement of the next Operator Training Summit in Nashville (spoiler: it’s gonna slap) to the Pentagon lobbing real ones at Iran, this episode’s got more hot takes than a Twitter war during a government shutdown.
Jared breaks down military logistics like your drunk uncle explaining the NFL draft—passionate, slightly unhinged, but mostly right. He rants about AF simulators being broken garbage, drones flying into everything, the VA being predictably dysfunctional, and why the Air Force is still pretending they might keep the B-1 (spoiler: they’re not). Also, the Space Force apparently needs another $6 billion. For what? Who knows.
If you like your defense briefings with a side of sarcasm, a shot of cynicism, and topped with real-world experience, this one’s for you.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- 🧠 The Air Force Research Lab is full of brainiacs... if only we let them cook
- 📦 Simulators are trash—and creating more harm than good
- ✈️ F-16s moved from Japan to Korea to flex on North Korea
- 💣 Operation Midnight Hammer = cool name, questionable effectiveness
- 🚀 The Space Force wants $6B more because “reasons”
- 🧴 Forever chemicals? Still forever. Still deadly.
- 🏥 VA and DOD still don’t know how to share medical records in 2025
- 🇮🇷 Bombed Iran’s nuclear sites but maybe only slowed them down 2 years? Big “meh”
- 🧢 “Dress and appearance” updates dropped—cue the Facebook rage
