Ops Brief 060: Daily Drop - 12 June 2025 (Budget Cuts & Micro-reactors)

Welcome to your daily dose of blunt-force intel. On this episode of Ones Ready, Peaches breaks down the 12 June Ops Brief with the same energy as a pissed-off NCO finding unbloused boots. From nuclear microreactors to E-7 program death rattles, and shady F-35 budget slashings, this rundown covers everything the Pentagon tried to slip under the radar.

Oh, and did we mention Air Force One is getting a facelift from Qatar... and no one will say what it costs?

This one’s for the operators, the policy nerds, and the junior troops trying to make sense of senior leader decisions that sound like they were made during an Ambien trip.

From partisan posturing to microreactor hype, this episode has one foot in the future and the other on a Congressional landmine. Grab your coffee and prep for turbulence.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

🔥 The E-7 Wedgetail might be dead. Twice mentioned. Quietly cut. Command & control bros are not okay.

🧨 CENTCOM families given the green light to bounce—tensions with Iran/Israel boiling over.

💵 Air Force One is getting a new ride from Qatar. Price tag? None of your business.

🛠️ F-35 orders slashed for 2026 in favor of the mysterious new F-47 program.

⚛️ A nuclear microreactor is coming to Eielson AFB. Power grid who?

🚀 Space Force is finally making moves—with private sector intel, new degree programs, and environmental wins.

🧢 Florida Tech launching degrees at Patrick Space Force Base. The nerds are deploying.

🧾 Nunn-McCurdy breach on B-52 radar means delays and Congressional re-approval. Government efficiency at its finest.

🔧 Peaches goes down a rabbit hole on microreactors. Again. And we support it.
