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.

Groton, Connecticut. (May 13, 2025): It is a submariner’s worst nightmare, finding themselves trapped in a stricken submarine hundreds of feet below the waves and the air is running out. To allay these fears, the U.S. Navy has established the Basic Enlisted Submarine School to teach Sailors how to escape in such situations. In this photo by Seaman Duncan Woodard, a student enters the school's pressurized submarine escape trainer. The trainer teaches Sailors how to escape from a submarine that is unable to surface and then survive on the surface until help arrives. The school is an eight-week introduction to the basic theory, construction, and operation of nuclear-powered submarines with courses on shipboard organization, submarine safety, and escape procedures.
The curriculum focusses on three critical areas: firefighting, damage control, and how to escape from a submarine.

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.
