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.

Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. (April 17, 2025): Active Shooter! In this photo by Senior Airman Mikaela Smith, Airmen from the 633rd Security Forces Squadron clear the lower level of a hospital during an active shooter training exercise. Unfortunately, active shooters have become all too common in American society. For the military, the prospect of active shooters on base is all too real.
Since 1993, US military installations have had more than twenty mass shootings. The most recent, and most deadly, was November 5, 2009, at Fort Hood, Texas. Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, opened fire inside the base’s processing center, killing thirteen people and an unborn child, and wounding thirty-two others. Hasan was later sentenced to death and is currently on military death row at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.

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.
