Thousands of soldiers flying or busing into Washington, D.C., next month from more than a dozen Army divisions across the force will be sleeping on cots, eating mostly MREs (and hot chow for dinner), and showering in contracted trailers during the Army’s multimillion-dollar 250th birthday festivities, service officials said Wednesday.The soldiers — totaling about 6,700 — will stay in two government buildings close to the events, which will include a military parade that coincides with President Donald Trump’s birthday as well as musical performances, flyovers from 50 modern and legacy aircraft, and a fitness competition, officials said. Soldiers will receive…

In a move that pushes the boundaries of Constitutional prohibition against a state religion, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hosted an evangelical prayer service in the middle of the day at the Pentagon in which a pastor praised President Donald Trump as “sovereignly appointed.”A program for the event called it the “Secretary of Defense Christian Prayer and Worship Service.” It was held at the Pentagon’s auditorium and was broadcast throughout the building on its internal cable network.While Hegseth made an opening prayer, the majority of the service was run by the defense secretary’s personal pastor from a Tennessee church whose leaders…
The Pentagon’s IT agency will lose nearly 10 percent of its total staff as part of the Trump administration’s push to slash the federal workforce, the agency’s director told senators Wednesday. But the workforce reduction may have its upsides.“It’s giving us an opportunity to ruthlessly realign and optimize how we are addressing what is an evolving mission,” Lt. Gen. Paul Stanton, director of the Defense Information Systems Agency, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Wednesday. The agency has about 20,000 employees—just over half are contractors, approximately 6,800 are civilians, and 1,200 are active-duty military.The cuts could help better match…
The Defense Department has officially accepted a luxury jet from Qatar and has begun planning how to convert the plane into an Air Force One, despite bipartisan concern that accepting a foreign government’s plane is both dangerous and unethical.“The Secretary of Defense has accepted a Boeing 747 from Qatar in accordance with all federal rules and regulations. The Department of Defense will work to ensure proper security measures and functional-mission requirements are considered for an aircraft used to transport the President of the United States,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement Wednesday.Last week, President Donald Trump confirmed…
He was driving through town late in the evening when two cars tried to block him in at an intersection. As the occupants jumped out and headed his way, he strongly suspected that he was about to be the victim of a carjacking. Instead of trying to fight it out with multiple attackers, he quickly devised a plan. Driving over the curb, he quickly drove down the empty sidewalk, got back on the street and left the carjackers behind him. In another case, a farmer’s wife was fixing breakfast while her husband was down at the barn feeding livestock. While…
Whether to drink milk is a common question, especially since social media has popularized drinking raw milk. While billions of people do not drink milk at all (culture, choice or lactose intolerance), billions do or consume dairy products, providing another option to obtain vital macro- and micronutrients. Those who do not drink milk can get nutrients from other natural sources.Here is this week’s email:Stew, should I drink milk before bed? I see pros and cons for milk at any time. What do you think? How about raw milk? Any advice? Thanks, MitchellHumans have been drinking raw milk for more than…
The Space Force is losing nearly 14 percent of its civilian workers—about 780 people—due to the Trump administration’s effort to dramatically cut the federal workforce, the service’s chief said Tuesday.Initiatives such as early retirement and voluntary-resignation programs have had an “outsized impact” on the youngest service, Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman said Tuesday during a Senate Armed Service committee hearing. Civilians comprise about 5,600, or more than one-third, of the service’s 17,000 people. “Total reductions have been almost 14 percent of our civilian workforce inside the Space Force,” Saltzman said. That number is higher than the 10 percent Space Force officials…
In the beginning, Magpul designed the SGA stock for Remington 870 and Mossberg 500/590 pump action shotguns. And everything was good. The SGA became one of Magpul Industries most-famous and best-selling non-AR-15 stocks due to its versatility. By attaching the SGA stock to your shotgun, it could be instantly made easier to use because it provided an effective recoil-absorbing buttpad, rear sling attachment points, robust shim system to adjust length-of-pull, adjustable combs and improved geometry conducive to better defensive and tactical shotgun shooting. In 2014, Magpul took the SGA concept and ran with it in order to develop and release…
