I’m your host, Yannis ptelis joined today by Randall Big, Randy Williams, and Brody of Care Are…
In an active job search, you may face a common dilemma: If you sit back and wait for recruiters to find you and reach out, you could be overlooked. On the other hand, if you pursue recruiters and seek to connect (over a specific job or just in general), you could come across as aggressive — or, worse, desperate. So what do you do? Wait or hunt?Consider this scenario: John is a transitioning sailor with deep expertise in cryptology and complex electronic systems. He also brings many years of measurable leadership experience and achievements. To John, he’s a great catch…
Post Trauma is a fresh horror game with all the design elements that made 1990 classics like the Silent Hill and Resident Evil franchises so popular. Its storyline has an interesting twist in that it captures the disorienting nature of post-traumatic stress disorder and the disjointed path of healing from it.The game, produced by Raw Fury and Red Soul Games, follows the story of four characters who are trapped in a prison of their own trauma.The indie team that made it openly adores early horror games, and the creators include puzzles, art elements and even frustrating camera angles that were…

An Air Force veteran who was fatally shot by U.S. Capitol Police while trying to break into the House chamber during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot has been granted military funeral honors by the Trump administration.Ashli Babbitt, who served as a senior airman, was among a group of rioters attempting to smash through barricaded doors outside the chamber full of House lawmakers when she was shot, according to video of the incident.

The Department of Homeland Security has asked the Navy to use one of its bases in the greater Chicago area for immigration enforcement, a move that would further cement the Trump administration’s use of U.S. military personnel and installations for a nationwide detention and deportation effort.Navy officials on Thursday referred all questions to the DHS about the possible use of Naval Station Great Lakes, North Chicago, for Immigration and Customs Enforcement duties. They confirmed the request Wednesday, however, to Navy Times, saying it involved “limited support in the form of facilities, infrastructure and other logistical needs to support DHS operations.”The…
Too few defense contractors are testing their technology in real-world situations against a peer adversary, NATO’s military chief said Thursday, praising companies that are making the effort to work with the Ukrainian military.“Those few that have tried it have either learned a lot, or they’ve decided to go home because they can’t compete in that environment. But that is going to be the environment that we face,” said Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who leads U.S. European Command and serves as NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe.Grynkewich, who was speaking virtually to an industry group in Washington, D.C., urged any companies seeking to…
Five years after the Pentagon created an office to coordinate its counter-drone efforts, it’s trying again.The new Joint Interagency Task Force 401 will spearhead its acquisition and integration of air defense systems to take down small unmanned aerial systems, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Thursday in a video first posted to X.The group will “rapidly deliver Joint C-sUAS capabilities to America’s warfighters, defeat adversary threats, and promote sovereignty over national airspace,” Hegseth wrote in a memo dated Wednesday.The memo also shuts down the existing Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office, which has been around since February 2020. It will also…
Essentially a necked-down version of the .308 Winchester cartridge, the 7mm-08 Remington is a perfect example of how sometimes, less is more. While it doesn’t boast the same raw power as many larger magnum rounds, the 7mm-08 round offers the perfect balance of accuracy, manageable recoil, and effective terminal performance on big game targets like whitetail deer, elk, and the occasional black bear.It provides a flat trajectory, excellent accuracy, and more than enough terminal performance for ethical kills within typical hunting distances, and its relatively mild recoil impulse allows for faster follow-up shots, especially with recoil-sensitive shooters. This combination has…
Revolvers have been part of the US military arsenal for a long time. In fact, despite the 1911 semi-automatic having “won two World Wars!,” the revolver continued in US military service longer than that 1911 to 1985 time period. Both the Army and the Air Force kept revolvers in their inventory well past the end of the Vietnam War. As late as the 1988 edition of Field Manual 23-35, the US Army revolver inventory was listed as “six basic caliber .38 service revolvers in use by the Army.” One 2-inch barreled .38- caliber revolver and five 4-inch barreled .38-caliber revolvers…
