Ops Brief 069: Daily Drop - 2 July 2025 (B-2 Upgrades & The Air Force Rage Quits)

Send us a text 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. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Creatine, Nootropics & Tasty Gains Ad Read 01:00 – EUCOM: Adversaries Aligning (Cold War 2.0?) 02:30 – CENTCOM Nominee: All Mystery, No Substance 03:10 – AI Budget Blitz: Air, Land & Sea Go Robo 04:00 – Cyber Command: Can We Upgrade from AOL Please? 05:00 – Wildfires Pull National Guard from LA 06:10 – Tanker Upgrades: Millions That Feel Like Pennies 07:00 – Air Force Academy Exodus: Toxic Much? 08:50 – B-2 Upgrades: Because the B-21 is Still a Unicorn 10:15 – Space Force Goes Full Sci-Fi (Tronch 3 Uncertainty) 11:45 – Missile Warning Satellites Slip Schedule 12:15 – R.I.P.
