Ops Brief 113: Daily Drop - 1 Dec 2025 - How The Hell Does A Submarine Navigate and Defense News
Peaches drops a fresh Daily Drop packed with real military updates, Special Warfare insight, and a full tour through what’s happening across the DoD. From Army sensor tests in Europe to Marine fast-rope drills in the Caribbean, this episode hits every corner of the force. Peaches breaks down why attributes matter in Special Warfare selection, how every exercise ties directly to the job, and why candidates must show raw potential—not just speed on a run. He also dives into tank gunnery in Bulgaria, airborne night navigation, Navy refueling ops, Coast Guard rescues, Space Force silence, and a Silver Star story that actually deserves attention. Plus: the mystery of submarine navigation, political noise in the defense world, and why getting your news from credible sources matters more than ever.
