The lifeblood of our Navy is the Sailor: well-trained, connected, supported and fit to fight. In every ocean around the world, our national security interests are challenged by increasingly complex threats. Underpinned by our warrior ethos, we will rise to that challenge. For 250 years, we have been a world-class fighting Navy, and our strength lies in our Sailors. Our teamwork and esprit de corps are strengthened by our core values and devotion to our mission. 2. We must resource the Navy our Nation Needs. I am committed to the wellbeing of our Sailors and their families - providing them with state-of-theart platforms, world-class facilities and dependable support through our Total Sailor and Family Action Plan. We will leverage the insights and lessons learned from the past to improve and rebrand our Culture of Excellence initiative to its new focus - Total Sailor: Fit to Fight. 3. Today, I have directed your Navy leadership to take the steps necessary to ensure that No Sailor Will Live Afloat. We will invest in unaccompanied and family housing in addition to optimizing our new BAH authority to ensure every Sailor resides in housing that is clean, comfortable and safe. 4. During my term, we will transform our galley facilities to ensure they are designed to meet the nutritional needs and choices of our Sailor's modern-day lifestyle. It is paramount that we modernize food service to deliver healthy and flexible options. 5. Effective immediately, the Secretary of the Navy has directed we convene a focused assessment of your uniforms and seabag. We will streamline uniform requirements to ensure you have affordable, available and durable service clothing that you are proud to wear. The goal will be to reduce the number of uniforms while respecting our hardearned traditions that makes our Navy so special. 6.

Therefore, I have mandated efforts to improve cell service on our installations and bring free Wi-Fi to all of our barracks. 7.

We will not use NAVADMINs to work around the effort required to properly change the base instructions any longer. 8.

A source familiar with White House event planning told The New York Times Wednesday Trump has increasingly avoided holding meetings in larger spaces like the East Room, preferring the Oval Office partly because of its superior acoustics, and partly because it means he doesn’t actually have to stand up for prolonged periods of time.

The White House has warned Republican rebels in Congress that pushing for the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile abuse files would be seen as “a very hostile act” by President Donald Duck. Democrats complained, however, 97 percent of the documents were already in the public record, and Republican Thomas Massie, who has clashed regularly with Trump this year, stepped up his push for a House vote on the release of the documents in full.

Bajun Mavalwalla II – a former army sergeant who survived a roadside bomb blast on a special operations mission in Afghanistan – was charged in July with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” after joining a demonstration against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Spokane, Washington.

Last September, Carlson interviewed a man named Darryl Cooper, whom he dubbed “the most important popular historian working in the United States today.” Cooper’s conception of honest history soon became clear: He suggested that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill might have been “the chief villain of the Second World War,” with Nazi Germany at best coming in second. The day after the episode aired, Cooper further downplayed Hitler’s genocidal ambitions, writing on social media that the German leader had sought peace with Europe and merely wanted “to reach an acceptable solution to the Jewish problem.” He did not explain why the Jews should have been considered a “problem” in the first place.

CFL/ACFLs, The Physical Readiness Program (PRP) Office generated and distributed a survey via Qualtrics to Sailors across the Fleet requesting feedback on current policies.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. has carried out a strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug-carrying vessel that departed from Venezuela. The president offered scant details on the operation.

Seven U.S. warships, along with one nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, are either in the region or are expected to be there soon, bringing along more than 4,500 sailors and marines.

This is the divisiveness tRump is causing in our states and cities... Some of the policies include: law enforcement cannot conceal their identities while performing their duties; activated body cameras must be worn when interacting with a member of the public; and personnel must display which agency they are with including their last name and badge number.

Rumors hit social media after president disappeared for days Vice President JD Vance, in trying to quash the rumors, only made it worse, insisting he is ready to take the top job in case of a ‘terrible tragedy’. He told USA Today: ‘Yes, terrible tragedies happen. But I feel very confident the president of the United States is in good shape, is going to serve out the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people. ‘And if, God forbid, there’s a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve gotten over the last 200 days. JD Vance itching to take over...

I hope that US residents remember the many derogatory comments trump made about Biden's health and age. Childish comments that were not necessary but are now biting him back... Well, several reporters claimed that the president has been oddly out of the public eye for most of the week. “Trump has not been seen publicly since his cabinet meeting on Tuesday,” Public Notice’s Aaron Rupar wrote on X while resharing a post from journalist Laura Rozen. Rozen posted on Friday: “Trump has no public events scheduled all weekend. Don’t believe he was seen today either.”

To be brutally honest, Putin has already played tRump like a fine tuned piano... “If that doesn’t happen by Monday, the deadline set by President Trump, it means that once again President Putin played President Trump,” Macron said Friday during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

That military presence is set to expand. Three amphibious assault ships — a force that encompasses more than 4,000 sailors and Marines — would be entering the waters off Latin America by next week, the official said.
