Troops in Space, Girls in the Ranks, and Nimitz in Charge (Dec 18 24)

This week, the Late Crew launches straight into the galaxy-brained idea from Trump’s NASA pick: boots on the Moon, Mars, or wherever the next Space McDonald’s opens. Yep, according to him, it’s only a matter of time before the military starts posting troops in orbit—because if there's one thing the Space Force needs, it's mandatory mustache regs in zero gravity. Speaking of futures in uniform, the DoD reports most girls don’t think they’d succeed in the military—so naturally, the crew digs into what’s broken, what’s improving, and who’s really still gatekeeping the chow hall.

Then it’s a toast to progress as the Air Force names its first female SERE specialist as Chief Master Sergeant (about damn time), and the Space Force drops the hottest new concept in military onboarding: its very own boot camp. Rounding out the ep is a deep-cut history lesson from 1941, when Admiral Nimitz took command of the Pacific Fleet and basically told the Japanese Navy to hold his beer. It's offbeat, off-script, and unapologetically aimed at space force veterans, Air Force vets, and anyone who prefers their military news with a side of sarcasm.
