Thank you from Djibouti Africa! We received your care package yesterday. We absolutely love the snacks and sweet treats. The letters were also a major morale boost. We all appreciate the support and all the goodies. We are 24/7 ops and these mean more than can be articulated in emails. God bless.

Great Lakes, Illinois. (May 8, 2025): In this photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Stuart Posada, Seaman Kyra Brinsfield is greeted by family after a graduation ceremony at Midway Ceremonial Drill Hall. She is one of more than 40,000 recruits who train annually at the Navy's only boot camp. For a select few American families, serving in the military is a generational thing.
Children of service members, affectionally called “Military Brats,” are twice as likely to join the military compared to their civilian counterparts. The Defense Department estimates there are approximately fifteen million Americans who are former or current military brats. They represent an important, and often invisible, subculture of the American public that is critical to our national defense.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
