Ops Brief 105: Daily Drop - 1 Oct 2025 - Government Shutdown: Jets Still Fly, Bombs Don’t

The Ones Ready crew dives headfirst into the chaos of a government shutdown. Peaches breaks down why jets are still flying even though half the civilians got furloughed, why dropping bombs is suddenly off-limits, and how “minimal manning” really means “maximum chaos.” From Air Force talent marketplace changes to the Space Force scrambling for capability gaps, Marines swapping out recruiting commanders, the Coast Guard dropping multi-tons of blow in Florida, and the Secretary of Defense tightening the screws on military culture—this daily drop pulls no punches. Oh, and POTUS showed up at Quantico to preach discipline like your dad after catching you with a bad haircut. Buckle up, it’s another day in the Ops Brief circus.
