    Today’s Daily Drop is brought to you by: chaos. Jared’s on one, the Public Affairs Office is finally back in the saddle, and we’re neck-deep in Pentagon leaks, Guard drama, Space Force growing pains, and morale breakdowns at the Air Force Academy.

    In this episode:
    🚨 Former advisors under leak investigation while the Defense Secretary is out here Signal-chatting like it’s group text with grandma
    🤖 AI drones are delivering your MREs in the Indo-Pacific
    📉 The Academy is falling apart while still claiming it’s world-class
    💻 Air Force computers = Windows 98 with a badge
    🛰️ The Space Force is building war doctrine while governors are throwing shade
    🌌 And China’s anti-satellite weapons might end this whole party early

    We also cover the B-21 flex, Lockheed finally playing nice, and why outsourcing IT might be the most patriotic thing we do all year.

    🔥 Key Takeaways:

    • The Air Force’s IT is still powered by dial-up and sadness
    • ACE = "everyone does everything now, good luck"
    • Space Force: making doctrine, taking names, dodging governors
    • Signal Chat leaks: OPSEC is optional if you’re high enough up
    • AI drones are cool, until they deliver your Chick-fil-A to the wrong theater
    • The Air Force Academy might be turning into DeVry with jets
    • B-21 costs $477M to say “maybe faster later”
    • China’s out here prepping to blind satellites. Cool.
