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.

Colorado Springs, Colorado. (May 29, 2025): In our last edition, we reported on the tortuous end of training as an Air Force Academy cadet is “the longest day of their lives.” In this photo by Dylan Smith, these same cadets enjoy the best day of their lives by graduating and receiving their commissions as second lieutenants. The nine hundred plus members of the Class of 2025 took their oaths of office at a ceremony held at Falcon Stadium on campus.
This year’s class consisted of 909 cadets, of whom 69% are men, and 31% are women. In all, 791 cadets were commissioned into the Air Force and ninety-three were commissioned into the Space Force. Once again, the Academy attracted the absolute best and brightest from U.S. high schools. The average high school GPA for the Class was 3.88 and their average SAT score was 669 in reading and writing and 688 mathematics.

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.
