The Threat from Within – The Trump Administration
Our country is under threat from within. There is no doubt that the current administration, led by Trump, is using deceit and leadership positions to circumvent the constitution. What makes matters worse are the people who follow and join in this deception that is damaging to our Constitutional Republic. Separately, the current administration is causing economic chaos within our country and to our allies alike. It has only started but the telling signs are in the stocks and bonds that have moved in an erratic fashion unlike anything we have ever seen happen. Keep an eye on your 401K if you have one.
Our country was built on the foundation of liberty, equality, justice, popular sovereignty, and rule of law. It is enshrined in documents such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence which emphasize that all individuals have rights that should be protected equally.
This forum includes articles on topics/ incidents that go against the constitution, the Declaration of Independence and current laws that were put in place by “We the People,” that protect us from tyranny and illegal or immoral acts that are occurring on almost a weekly basis. Topics in this area may not be strictly military but cover our rights and freedom that many of us swore to uphold.

NAVAL STATION NORFOLK, Va. (July 23, 2025) — In a pivotal step to strengthen the Navy’s strategic shore infrastructure and enhance warfighting readiness, Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) hosted its first-ever Senior Enlisted Training Symposium, this week at Naval Station Norfolk, to bring Navy leaders and installation professionals from across the Shore Enterprise to discuss ownership, warfighting and readiness. Vice Adm. Scott Gray, Commander, Navy Installations Command, and Force Master Chief Andre Brown, CNIC’s senior enlisted leader, were key participants, emphasizing the command's commitment to integrating the invaluable perspectives of senior enlisted leaders into its strategic planning, and warfighting mission. “Our installations are not just physical locations; they are the strategic launchpads for our Fleet, foundational to warfighting readiness,” said Vice Adm. Gray. “By aligning our base operations with Fleet priorities and empowering our leaders on the ground, we ensure the Navy remains agile, resilient, and prepared to meet any challenge, anywhere in the world.” The symposium served as a direct demonstration of CNIC’s ownership and proactive approach to managing the Navy’s global Shore Enterprise. Discussions centered on improving mission support, adapting infrastructure and services to meet the needs of a dynamic security environment, enhancing quality of life for Sailors and their families, and ensuring installations evolve to meet current and future Fleet requirements. “Investing in quality of service is critical to ensuring a stronger, more resilient and effective Navy. Our business is the Fleet, Fighter, and Family – and none of that happens without taking care of our people,” said Force Master Chief Brown. “This symposium provided a vital platform for our senior enlisted leaders to see challenges, collaborate on solutions, and share best practices directly with leadership, ensuring their voices drive tangible improvements across our installations.” By fostering direct collaboration between installation leaders and senior enlisted advisors, the symposium strengthened the Navy’s ability to deliver results. It underscored CNIC’s unwavering commitment to continuously improving the infrastructure and support systems that directly enable the Fleet to operate forward and win. Commander, Navy Installations Command is responsible for worldwide U.S. Navy Shore installation management, designing and developing integrated solutions for sustainment and development of Navy shore infrastructure as well as quality of life programs. CNIC oversees 10 Navy regions, 70 installations, and more than 43,000 employees who are focused on warfighting and manning, training and equipping the Shore to fight and win. Navy installations are warfighting platforms essential to every Fleet operation. -
President tRump and Secretary of Defense Hedgehog seem to be on a mission to erase women from the top ranks of the U.S. armed forces. Last week, they took another step along this path by removing the first female head of the United States Naval Academy, in Annapolis, Maryland. The Naval Academy was founded in 1845, but didn’t admit its first class of women until 1976. The head of the school is known as the superintendent, and Annapolis would not get its first female admiral in that position until 2024. Now the first woman to serve as the “supe” has been reassigned and replaced by a man, and for the first time in the academy’s history, the role went to a Marine.

For generations, tattoos have served as both a rite of passage and a record of service for members of the military. From the crisp anchors and hula girls of the World War II era, to the modern proliferation of Punisher skulls, sleeve tattoos and kinetic imagery, military ink tells a story — sometimes literal, sometimes regrettable, but always worth telling.

ALLS CHURCH, Va. – Have you recently filled a prescription at a military pharmacy? If so, you may know that military pharmacies have different procedures than civilian pharmacies. When a provider issues a new prescription to a military pharmacy, you need to activate the prescription before a pharmacist fills it.
