Just a curious question. I found myself at a retirement party for a Navy LT last week. I figured that he had to have been enlisted for a while since he was retiring as an 0-3. I had just a quick conversation with him and asked him if had gone through NROTC or OCS and where he went to college...

I have to sadly admit that I had never heard about this Coast Guard Captain and his career, an amazing story. This is quite an honor and one deserved. https://taskandpurpose.com/navy-destroyer-quentin-walsh-coast-guard Here is a nice biography of Captain Quinton Walsh...

First off, this is obviously very cool. My question is how do you all see this being practical or being used in a military application. To me it looks like a flying duck during hunting season, maybe if they have "Sky Cammo"? https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/franky-zapata-flyboard/index.html...

I have a question for those active duty service members that have a spouse that is working. When a service member gets married and their spouse goes through Deers, are they able to list their Home of Record as the State they came from? If they are able to do this does this effect them in regard...

As Army junior officers reach 1LT Promotable, they will have options to look at applying to a few different branches. One of the opportunities out there is SOF, including SF, Civil Affairs, and PsyOps. I thought I would share a video highlighting one of these options, Civil Affairs. For those...

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/02/us/army-recruiting-tech-industry-seattle.html This may be off topic because it deals with enlistment but living in Seattle this rings so true. Both my sons had to deal with the negative military attitudes at their high school when they decided to accept their...

If things progress the way they are going the partial government shutdown will happen at midnight. With the Congress leaving on break and the new Congress soon to start, it could be a longer then usual shutdown. Since the CG is part of the DHS which is one of the agencies that will shut down...

Thought this was the best place to post this. After nearly 2 years of SOFCCC, Language School, and CA Training, my older son graduated from CA School today. He will be working in the European Command. It's been a long road since leaving the Aviation Branch and he's relieved to be moving to the...

This was a tragic week for our military, sadness does not come close to express our feelings. https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/07/politics/army-apache-helicopter-crash/index.html Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Looks like the National Guard may be getting a bit busier, at least I assume that the Posse Comitatus Act would limit it to the NG. https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/03/politics/trump-border-wall-military/index.html It should be noted that this has been done in some level by the last two...

Can't say I disagree with the new policy, junior officers are going to get a lot busier making sure their units are up to date on medical and training. Not to mention the recruiting stations if they actually start releasing service members in large numbers...

My son just sent me this link to an article in the WP...
