Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the ones ready. Podcasts and Aaron and Trent show. Uh, I'm in charge today. So Aaron asked me if I wanted to lead this out. So here we are. And we just we know we were talking earlier this morning, Jared's out of some race, doing whatever, doing cheap stuff.

0:21.6

He's supporting his family. That's important. He big time this. I know. It was weird. So like you all are stuck with just us. So you're welcome. And also I'm sorry for what's about to happen. He really changed us. Yeah.

0:34.4

So so we're basically starting a rumor about Jared. That's not true. Based on a little bit of fact. If right, like we're trying to make it sound like it's something it's not.

0:44.7

Have you seen any examples of that in the real world lately, where a little bit of information turns into something more.

0:51.1

Boy, have I ever tried man. So apparently there was some letter about some school that got put out there. I'm boy, people are all upset.

0:59.2

So it goes, we've talked about this a million times, man. Like we're not a news organization. We're not here to break. You know, you know, breaking news. Like that's not what we do. Right. Like we'd rather be correct and just sort of wait for stuff to actually flesh itself out. So

1:13.0

the commander of Asak, the 10 general Bauer fund, he sent a letter to half a three. So it's essentially like one level up from him. And it has like it all of the training in the Air Force.

1:22.8

And he was basically like, all right, for Stowe, CCT, SR, I want you to remove dive for the pipeline for a number of different reasons. So number one, what you got to understand.

1:31.7

Is that 10 years ago, nobody was privy to this information. There would be these rumblings of these letters, these policy letters that went out.

1:39.4

Well, now, because everybody has email, everybody knows somebody on social media, you see these things in real time. How long did it take before that, before that broke like six hours?

1:49.4

I don't know. It seems, it seems cool. You know, like once it hits a certain level, it just keeps going. Sure. And whether once a parcel of air reaches a certain level, it just keeps going. See, so this is how it works.

2:01.5

If you're going to tie everything in like this all day, I'm going to leave. I'm going to let you do it. You're so we got a YouTube comment. Good feedback. Thanks for it. Somebody was like, you know, Aaron, you talked too much. You should let Trent and Peach's talk.

2:14.0

Today's the day that you guys regret letting Trent talk because he's going to talk about weather parcels and lifting.

2:20.0

I fully disagree with that comment, by the way, like this podcast will be awful if you just let me go.

2:25.1

I try to maximize like my annoying tendencies in the beginning of a podcast, you know, drive the audience away. And then we can talk about real stuff later that is a technique.

2:36.6

And so, yeah, things move. And you know, Chief Bass has said it, you know, the previous chief master started in the Air Force, you know, General Brown said it, things move at the speed of social media, like they would just announce policy on social media and get it over with as opposed to, you know, that's, that's a remarkable change. Right.

2:52.8

So number one, you hear about stuff away earlier. Well, number two, there's misconceptions. I watched a group chat of mine, spin out of their minds for like 30 minutes and had some really strong feelings before someone actually read the memo in its entirety because they thought they were talking about PJs as well. Yes, no, no kidding. I was like guys are they're not talking about PJs.

3:16.0

So what was the met trend? What was the memo? What what what what happened?

3:21.0

What so the the comm commander, Afsac comma Afsac requested, like you said, it was kind of like a fact finding thing ish, but like it was a request, like there's nothing saying like, hey, I am demanding, I am making this happen, whatever, because it's not really under his control. So Afsac and an ATC run on different pots of money and all these other things.

3:42.2

And the belly button or the the connective tissue is at the Pentagon, but headquarters are for sort of department of their force, whatever you want to call it these days. Now that space force is its own thing.

3:54.3

Renards and stuff.

3:56.2

So like he, this is this has been a long time coming as well that I don't think this was actually his idea to begin with. I think this was the previous commander of Afsac's idea.
