One ready?
One, two, three. Go! From away! Action, go! From away!
From away! From away! From away! From away! From away!
From away! I'm too lucky!
I'm one of the blood-like guys.
“All these critics want to hate 'em, I'm a certified popper.”
But to a tease, that's 24 hours. Back on my name, I'll trust you count. Independent winner, but I count my press. I'll know about second. I learn my lesson.
Let me go, put it on record. I'm in the top five over top five network. Way back, way back, way. They ain't believable. These techies, you know I do recently.
Tell me where they're seeing me. Feel like it did. Ain't nobody better now. Got 'em off here. Ain't nobody better when I'm better than that's fear.
I'm a point that you're peering to rule this team.
And the one shot you left, I'm gon' take 'em.
All I'm made it. Hey everybody, welcome back to the ones ready pot. Yeah, sure in the team room, this is your daily drop for the 8th of April. Brought to you by TastyGames.
Head over to TastyGames.com to get yourself some of those premium creating gummies as well as the new tropics. Pre-workout gummies to get you fired up for that workout. And then obviously the creatine to get big. Not small, like Aaron Love.
'Cause he's kind of a miniature guy. But I'm talking about just a big freaking burly ape silver bag gorilla. That's what you wanna be. Yeah, anyway. If you're new here, appreciate you guys being here.
What this is is kind of a curated list of things that are published by the services. Army Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, etc. What their public affairs put out. And so what I do is I kind of read it to you.
But then I also give you some, I don't read you the entire thing. But I give you a little synopsis and then kind of my take on it if I have a take or any insider baseball. So we're gonna take things off the Army. The Army requests funds to quadruple prison strike.
Precision strike missile procurement in fiscal year, 2027. The Army fiscal year, 2027 budget requests seeks significant additional funding to quadruple procurement of the Precision strike missile. The long range surface to surface missile
has already been employed during the operation epic fury against Iranian targets. The increased aims to rebuild stockpiles depleted by sustained combat operations. All right, I may have to use that as a thumbnail
'cause I am not familiar with what that looks like. Obviously the details in its capabilities are classified. So we can't throw that out there. But there is some open source stuff that you're able to check out. And these things are pretty awesome.
And I've done surprise me that we want to, that their Army wants to quadruple what their current allocation is because they're getting a lot of good work out of it. It's just a matter of can the company,
and I don't know what the company is off top ahead, but the company that builds it, are they able to meet that requirement?
“Or is this going to be over 10 years quadruple the amount?”
Or listen, for FY27, or for 2027, we need to quadruple the amount. So we'll see what happens. Next up, Army receives first shipment of XM8 carbines. The United States Army accepted its final delivery
of the XM8 carbines last week. The lighter, shorter weapon is designed as a replacement for the M4 A1 in close combat forces. And serves as a companion to the new M7 rifle. Fielding will begin with select units in a close combat force.
You know what? I don't know what the M8 XM8 looks like either. So maybe I'll have to use that one as a thumbnail. We'll see. It depends on what kind of pictures I can find.
Move it onto the Navy. The Navy seeks 1,200% increase in Tomahawk missile procurement for FY27. All right, well, starting to see a trend here.
The Navy is requesting $3 billion in FY27
to replenish its Tomahawk cruise missile inventory, which has been heavily depleted during Operation Epic Fury. The proposed surge represents more than a 12-fold increase over recent annual procurement levels. The funding supports restoration of long range strike capability.
You know what? If I got a way, these two between quadrupling the long range missile or the precision strike missile for the Army and Tomahawks.
“For the Navy, I think I'm going to Tomahawks”
because we have fired a butler of those things
They are devastating.
I think I just think that we get more return on investment.
But what do I know? Because I don't know the cost of these things. Tomahawks were the precision strike missile or anything like that. So maybe it does make more sense for the PSM for the Army to have the replenishing Tomahawks.
Or here's an idea.
“You do both because they're both important.”
Alright, next with the Navy. Navy SEAL speedboat crews at risk of traumatic brain injury. No kidding. A Pentagon Watchdog report found that sailors operating speedboats for Navy SEAL missions faced elevated risk of traumatic brain injury
from repeated wave impacts. The vessel lacks adequate shock mitigation systems and the finding highlights on going safe to concerns in special operations near time mobility. Yes, not surprised by that if you guys have ever seen these guys
on any of the markfives or anything like that when they're out there in ocean, they're just getting it. And yeah, they're on to stop and all that kind of stuff. But it is a bumpy ride. And what, you know, say thanks to all the IEDs
and all that kind of stuff from GWAT but we have learned a lot about TVIs and a lot about the brain. And what we've come to find is that it's not the massive traumatic you know, concussions and hits of the head that do the most damage. It's actually the micro-explo...
She's the micro exposures that have the most damage. So when you start talking about, you know, hits and football over and over again because you got practice, you've got games, even soccer players wherever they're heading the ball. Those count as little micro-concussions.
And find weapons, you know, we have coral gs.
We have 50 cows that you're always supposed to,
well, at least not the mod do so with the cow, but like a barit sniper rifle, 50 cow. There's only so many rounds that you're supposed to expend a day.
“Especially with a coral g, I think it's three.”
Is you're allowed to shoot three a day before you can't because of the amount of pressure and damage that it does to your brain. So not surprising that right on a boat as much as that, hitting all those ways over and over and over again, is creating some serious problems for these guys.
All right, next Marine Corps. The Marine Corps continues rotational presence in the Philippines. A knee rotation, a Marines has developed or has deployed to the Philippines indicating a shift towards more continuous presence. Other rather than discrete deployments.
The enhanced posture strengthens bilateral defense cooperation and regional deterrence. Rotation support, joint training and interoperability with Philippine forces. Before we get into the air force,
you guys know that we hold these operator training summits. And you can register for any of the in at operator training summit.com.
“It's where we take folks that want to be a perescue men,”
combat controller, attack peace, special reconnaissance, combat rescue officer, attack pee officer, or special attacking officer. Or we've had Las Vegas police. We've had firefighters.
We've had people from the Army, people from Navy. So it's not just Air Force Special Warfare. But we take you through a day of running, rocking mobility, nutrition, grass and rural drills for one day and then the next day,
we take you into the pool to 10 to 12 hours and teach you efficiency. This is mentorship and instruction. This is not a hell day. We don't do that shit. You want that?
You got to go someplace else because we don't do that. You can register for our next event, though, which is in Nashville. One through three may come join us. Operator training summit.com.
Air Force. B2 Spirit Bombers conduct a 36-hour mission against Iranian Revolution Guard Corps targets. Air Force B2s from Wyman Air Force Base flew a 36-hour nonstop mission to strike at an underground compound using Islamic or housing
rather Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or RGCE commanders.
The aircraft employed bunker-busting munitions and the operation demonstrated the global strike reach of the B2 fleet. Those dudes do some insane sorties. 36 hours in a plane. And I don't mean, like, you know,
you're flying a virgin Atlantic plane from Las Vegas to London Heathrow. You know, where you can get up and walk around. This is in a bomber for 36 hours straight. Dude, I like what I do, and I want no part of that.
Those dudes put in some work, some serious work.
Next Air Force request new affordable standoff attack missile for 233.
“The United States Air Force announced plans to develop a new affordable air launch”
standoff cruise missile designated to standoff attack weapon. An industry day is scheduled for the June 17th and Edwin Air Force Base to gather concepts. And the weapon is intended to provide cost effective mass standoff strike capability in 2023 or by 2023 rather.
Yeah, we need something. That's for sure. I mean, we have good stuff now. We need better stuff for the next fight.
All right, Space Force Space Force rests our resets.
Geez, I'm having problems reading the day. This is crazy.
“I swear it's not only like this, but I am educated in South Carolina.”
So, you know, it kind of comes with a territory. But Space Force resets modernization of aging satellite controlled network. After canceling a prior modernization of modernization program, the United States Space Force issued a request for information to industry on leveraging existing infrastructure to upgrade the satellite controlled network.
The network supports tracking and management of department of defense and other United States government satellites.
The reset seeks faster, more cost effective solutions for command and control resiliency.
Sounds like a good thing to me. Coast Guard, nothing to report, same with Secretary Defense, nothing to report. Moving on to the President of the United States. President Trump announces two weeks ceasefire agreement with Iran. President Trump stated the United States has agreed to a two weeks ceasefire with Iran.
Announced less than two hours before his self-imposed deadline before re-opening the straight-a-horse moves. The agreement provides a diplomatic offer after five weeks of operation epic fury. Trump described the pause as an opportunity to negotiate for a more permanent resolution. Now, I've before recording this.
I have seen some stuff that there are still potentially unverified explosions going on in attacks.
“Now, you've got to figure out who you're believing, right?”
Because if you're listening to Iranian media, they lie all the time. We already know they lie all the time. They lie to their own people and they lie to everybody else. I'm not saying that the US or Israel or somebody like that isn't attacking still, but chances are they are not.
And with Iran doing the kind of mosaic option of command and control. And if you're not familiar with that, you can definitely check out Aaron Loves America or Dead Holloway from Drinking Burst Pikes. They talk about mosaic as well. It's a real problem and it's extremely effective.
So it is possible that there are cells within Iran that are still doing stuff in conducting operations. But I can't speak for the US because everything that I've seen so far is unverified. Next, operational stuff. United States Central Command reports extensive weapons use in Operation Epic Fury.
Central Command reported that American forces have struck more than 13,000 targets and sunk or damaged 155 vessels since the start of Operation Epic Fury on 28 February. The campaign has involved scores of different weapon systems, including hundreds of one-way attack drones. They overview underscores the scale and intensity of a 38 of the 38 day air and naval campaign. That's a lot of targets and a lot of weapons expended and a lot of facilities in 38 days.
Last but not least, United States strikes military target on Iran's Carg Island. United States forces conducted strikes on military targets on Iran's Carg Island. Vice President Jady Vance stated the action does not represent a change in strategy and then not target oil infrastructure. The strikes occurred amid ongoing ceasefire in negotiations.
That was during the negotiations. Maybe they're still stuff going on, maybe they're not. I don't know, like I said, unverified, but that's all we have for you today. Appreciate you guys being here. Don't forget to head over to operative training summit to register for an OTS. Or head over to 1dradie.com to pick yourself up so much.
We're happy to have you. See you!
