  1. Four Injured After Landing Mishap Aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, Crew Safely Recovered
  2. The U.S. Navy announced that a recovery mishap aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) resulted in two Naval Aviators assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3 ejecting from their aircraft. The service says that both were promptly recovered by search and rescue (SAR) forces and were safely returned to the ship to be evaluated by medical personnel.
  3. WASHINGTON — The Trump administration appears to have abandoned plans to use a New Jersey military base to detain immigrants, according to the nonpartisan investigative arm of Congress.
  4. Psychotropic medications are prescription drugs that affect chemical levels in the brain to change a person's mood, thoughts, behavior, or perception. Medics use them to treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.
  5. The SpouseWorks scholarship expands criteria for who is eligible to includes spouses and others.
  6. There is already a gov dept. that takes care of that. trump fired the head and doge decimated it... Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth instructed the Pentagon last week to prioritize and deploy "advanced intelligence and cyber capabilities" to track down, disrupt and neutralize "foreign actors to protect the 2026 midterm elections" while "maintaining the fundamental freedoms that characterize our country." HOWEVER President Donald Trump fired Christopher Krebs, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on November 17, 2020. Krebs's agency declared the 2020 election the most secure in U.S. history. trump did not like that. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) significantly impacted the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) through mass layoffs and contract terminations in early 2025. • Mass Firings: Over 130 probationary workers, elite threat hunters, and Cyber Talent Management System recruits were fired during a February 2025 weekend. • Specialized Teams: DOGE-led actions dismantled specialized red teams and proactive defense operations So now hedgehog is using military resources in place of a department that already serves that function. Meanwhile, there is a forever war with Iran, and Iran controls the Straight of Hormuz. That is why the price of petroleum products, diesel fuel and gasoline have risen.
  7. Could impact active-duty and reserve troops, civilian employees, contractors, retirees, veterans and military family members. A breach of the Pentagon's sprawling personnel database exposed sensitive information belonging to a massive swath of military personnel, including Social Security numbers and details about the jobs they held, according to a U.S. defense official.
  8. Eight US Marines were injured when an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile struck a maritime vessel they were operating in the Strait of Hormuz on Sept. 14, 2026, in an incident that the Pentagon did not publicly disclose at the time, NBC News reported.
  9. The USS Theodore Roosevelt, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, is headed for the Middle East to relieve another carrier already in theater as tensions with Iran persist.
  10. A submarine is built to be secretive and carry out its mission all over the globe. Many times, they are under the ocean for many months at a time. Space is limited, and the crew are always busy. Finding room or time for a workout usually comes second.
  11. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is running into a wall of congressional GOP resistance as he tries to secure $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon next year.
  12. According to CBS News and PEOPLE, Nelson was “super excited” to get back to his life after his time at sea. The sailor, who had been away in the Middle East, took an Uber home from the airport and allegedly immediately noticed that his 1997 Toyota 4Runner was missing from its parking spot. He initially assumed it might have been towed. “And then I go to unlock my front door and it just pushes right open,” Nelson claimed.
  13. The Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) have established the Robotic and Autonomous Systems Warfighting Development Center (RASWDC), marking a critical milestone in accelerating the development, operational integration, and employment of robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) across the maritime domain.
  14. The U.S. Navy said its officials had "fully validated" the number of U.S. troops wounded in the Iran war after its publicly-visible count was quietly updated to show dozens more personnel had been injured in the conflict.
  15. A new study drawn from survey data of nearly 16,000 sailors shows which jobs and ship classes report the best sleep and which have the most fatigue. It also appears to prove the value and impact of napping — a practice one researcher calls “micro-dosing” necessary crew rest.
  16. ARLINGTON, Va. – The Navy released updated guidance and resources for Sailors, civilian employees and families displaced by operations in Bahrain, to support transitioning from Safe Haven lodging to longer-term housing.t To secure appropriate entitlements, military families must select a designated location for resettlement by Nov. 30. Impacted personnel will continue to receive Safe Haven allowances at the current rate until Oct.11. Beginning Oct. 12, the allowance decreases to 75% and will continue through Nov. 30. Declarations should be made to Salesforce via mailto:askmncc@us.navy.mil. Once a family selects and occupies their permanent home, Safe Haven per diem ends and the service member will then receive Basic Allowance for Housing based on the ZIP code of the family's new home. The Navy will also pay authorized travel and moving expenses for dependents and two family pets. Navy Personal Property and Housing offices will coordinate the packing and shipment of household goods and personal vehicles from Naval Support Activity Bahrain to families’ new homes. Family members generally cannot return to Bahrain to pack their belongings. However, service members are authorized to oversee pack-outs. U.S. Central Command and U.S. Naval Forces Central Command may approve temporary return travel for adult family members on a case-by-case basis, when the security environment allows. Civilians staying in commercial lodging may receive a Special Transitional Separate Maintenance Allowance for up to 90 days and $25 per day for transportation, effective Aug. 27. Civilians who must maintain two homes may be eligible for an Involuntary Separate Maintenance Allowance. Sailors, Civilians and their families should reach out to their chain of command or local Emergency Family Assistance Center for personalized support. Virtual EFAC Europe may be contacted at https://www.navylifeeurafcent.com/installations/nsf-ramstein/efac and virtual EFAC Naval District Washington may be contacted at https://www.navyregionmwrndw.com/efac. More generalized support is available 24/7 at MyNavy Career Center at (833) 330-6622(MNCC) or askmncc@us.navy.mil. Sailors who remain in Bahrain on Permanent Change of Station Orders may receive COLA-Unique, a special Cost of Living Allowance designed to help cover the difference between local rent and their new housing allowance. Sailors should contact their command for assistance. For Sailors re-locating to or from Bahrain on PCS orders, the Personal Property Activity is available to assist, email mailto:PCSCallCenter@mail.mil, or call 833-MIL-MOVE. Operation Epic Fury has also affected Cycle 272 enlisted advancement exams. Commands unable to conduct exams on schedule because of combat operations, evacuations or increased force protection measures received an extension. As a result, fall advancement results may be delayed to allow exams from affected areas to be processed. The extension does not apply fleet-wide, and commands that can safely test on schedule must do so. The Navy continues to provide the latest information to impacted Department of Navy personnel through a variety of resources including updates to command and installation leadership, EFACs, and NAVCENT-hosted town halls.
  17. Being a Marine and later an international aid and human rights worker taught me how to read a room. Vietnam. Beirut. Somalia. Bosnia. Rwanda. Iraq. Afghanistan. Survival depended on noticing what other people missed. The shift in a crowd’s weight, the change in a voice, the silence that arrives before violence does. I came to believe I understood people and what they carried inside themselves. Then I got Blue, and realized I had only been reading the surface.

  19. Washington — The U.S. Army Reserve is examining whether it can provide the military's Southern Command with police forces, medical personnel and other support units within the next four months, according to an internal Army message reviewed by CBS News.
  20. I think everyone should have seen this coming... Republican senators are expressing concern and dismay over President Trump’s lavish welcome of Chinese President Xi Jinping to a two-day summit in Washington after it was revealed earlier this month that Iran used Chinese satellite imagery to target U.S. troops in Jordan. Republican senators were told of deepening military cooperation between Iran and China at a closed-door national security briefing Thursday, heightening their concerns about Trump’s red-carpet welcome of Xi at Joint Base Andrews.
