Ops Brief 036: Daily Drop - 29 April 2025 (Grandma SEAL Lawsuits and the Commissary’s 1990s Glow-Up)

Welcome to the April 29th Ones Ready Daily Drop — where Jared sifts through the bureaucratic swamp of DoD updates and gives you the brutally honest download your commander definitely won’t.

From a proposed Pentagon rebrand that sounds like it came straight from a Call of Duty menu (“War Department,” anyone?) to a grandma trying to sue the Navy to become a SEAL (yep, that’s real), this one has it all.

We’re also unpacking the dumpster fire that is the commissary system ("now with modern grocery practices!" in 2025... wow), the murky legal dumpster of the Feres Doctrine, and why half of the Air Force lies to doctors just to stay on flight status. Add a side of Space Force launches, mental health stigma, Ukraine-Russia peace rumors, and a DUI case that’ll punch you in the gut.

All killer, no filler — unless you count the commissary aisle.
