ALLS CHURCH, Va. – Do you know the difference between emergency and urgent care? It can make a difference in your health. Both emergency rooms and urgent care clinics can help you with a medical issue. But they’re different and serve your needs in different ways. When you or a family member needs medical care quickly, it’s important to know the difference between the two.
“In times of stress or concern—like having a sick or injured family member—it can be difficult to know what the right course of care might be,” said Jeannine Pickrell, RN, nurse director of Population Health, TRICARE Health Plan, at the Defense Health Agency. “Making the right choice will ensure you and your family receive the right level of care when you need it.”

The Navy will now require naval aviators to serve past their minimum service requirement in order to complete their second, two-year sea tour — the sea service’s latest attempt to boost retention in the aviation community, according to an internal briefing document obtained by Navy Times.
The policy applies to officers serving in their first shore tour with a projected rotation date of October 2025 and beyond, and is being implemented due to “personnel shortages across second sea duty billets,” the Naval Air Forces document states.

Billy Jones stood overlooking the Alaskan village of Angoon and took stock of what the U.S. Navy had wrought.
Long spruce houses blasted apart by U.S. warships. Food stores burned. The U.S. troops responsible had gathered canoes — the village’s lifeblood — and smashed them to pieces. At least six children died, according to historical accounts, asphyxiated by the smoke of their smoldering homes.
