  1. resident Donald trump will host a large Navy celebration this weekend while the military goes without pay during the government shutdown.
  2. Secretary of WAAH Pete Hesgeth on Friday fired Navy chief of staff Jon Harrison, an unusually powerful top aide who had orchestrated a reshuffle of the service’s bureaucracy. The sudden ouster, according to two defense officials and a former defense official, follows the confirmation this week of Navy Undersecretary Hung Cao.
  3. Mr. Makeup is such an idiot... “No more beards, long hair, superficial, individual expression. We’re going to cut our hair, shape up, shave our beards, and adhere to standards, because it’s like the broken windows theory of policing. It’s like, you let the small stuff go, the big stuff eventually goes,” he said. “If you want a beard, you can join special forces. If not, then shave.”
  4. Black men are more prone to pseudofolliculitis barbae, a skin condition that leads to itching, inflammation, keloids and an increased likelihood of scarring, according to research. A seemingly neutral policy that requires military members to be clean-shaven has a disproportionately negative impact on Black men, leading to disparate impact, a legal term to describe when a neutral policy causes harm to a protected class of people. In addition to Black men being harmed by this new policy, it could also lead to religious discrimination. According to some reports, for Muslims, Sikhs, Rastafarians, the Amish, and Orthodox Jews, there may be restrictions around shaving one’s beard. A no-beard policy may unfairly impact those who are part of some religious groups.
  5. The military has conducted at least three strikes against vessels the administration says were carrying drugs and were en route to the U.S. Those strikes killed 17 people on the boats in total. At least two vessels originated from Venezuela. The administration did not name any of the cartels, designated as terrorist groups, to be targeted in the notice to Congress.
  6. WASHINGTON — A statue depicting President donald trump and the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reappeared Thursday on the National Mall amid the government shutdown.
  7. You can lose a republic while trying to save a republic. No matter what your level of idiocy, you don’t want that, you can’t want it, so you have to be careful. And serious...
  8. Bussiere’s retirement came hours after Secretary of Defense Pete Hedgehog held an extraordinary gathering of top military officials in Quantico, Va., where he announced he was raising fitness standards and overhauling the military’s internal complaint and investigation process.
  9. Matthews repeatedly referred to Trump’s designation of some Latin American drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, which he said granted the Defense Department unilateral authority to use military force against them, some of the people said. Matthews refused to provide a written justification for the strikes, which legal experts say is necessary for transparency and accountability.
  10. How in the world did this pisant every get this position? He promised that he would quit drinking alcohol just to be selected. Isn't our country better than that to have to choose such a looser?... In a highly unusual address to hundreds of the military’s top leaders in Quantico, Va., Hegseth declared new directives to ensure every combat position “returns to the highest male standard” of their service’s physical fitness test. “If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it,” he said, though he stressed that the military will continue to welcome women into its ranks.

  12. Active-duty Marines and sailors must still get the annual flu shot, despite changes to the Pentagon’s policy, a Defense Department official confirmed to USNI News.
  13. Sailor to Sailor - Sept, 2025
  14. How the government shutdown impacts VA
  15. According to internal documents obtained by the Washington Post, Hegseth is forcing officials, including top generals, to submit to random polygraph tests and sign sweeping nondisclosure agreements or potentially face dismissal. You know!... Paranoia, paranoia Everybody's coming to get me Just say you never met me I'm running underground with the moles, digging holes Hear the voices in my head... Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta (Official Music Video)
  16. In December 2006, Ronald Harnish, 22, and his friends were driving, then exited the vehicle and got into a confrontation with two males who were standing on the sidewalk in the 1100 block of 30th Street, according to the San Diego Police Department.
  17. “More like a press conference than briefing the generals,” said one defense official, who, like others, was granted anonymity due to fears of retribution. “Could have been an email.” Ya know!... I'm not sick but I'm not well And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell Flagpole Sitta (Official Music Video)
  18. If the government shutdown that was triggered late Tuesday starts affecting the paychecks of service members, federal civilian workers and contractors, there are resources to help those experiencing financial distress.
  19. Support is available to help Sailors, Marines, civilians and their families lessen the impact of the government shutdown. The resources listed offer assistance.
  20. Apparently no inclusion of eyeshadow, eyeliners type, etc, from WAAH Secretary yet... The Pentagon issued several memos on Tuesday that outlined a broad range of personnel changes, instituting stricter grooming standards and gender-neutral standards for combat jobs. The memos follow a Tuesday address by Secretary of WAAH Pete Hedgehog of senior military leadership at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., previewing the new policy changes for the military.
  21. From the Report Compensation for members of the Armed Forces (i.e., Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard) is funded through annual appropriations to personnel-related line items in accounts of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), which is “using a secondary Department of War designation” under Executive Order 14347 dated September 5, 2025. These accounts include funding for pay and allowances of active and reserve component members, along with travel-related expenses.
  22. Virtual Hiring Fair: Logistics, Skilled Trades, and Transportation Connecting World-Class Military Community Talent with American Employers Wednesday, October 1, 2025 1 - 4 p.m. ET
  23. This guy has lost his marbles... “We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” Trump said. He noted at another point: “We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms.”
  24. Has he been drinking again??????? He maintained, without presenting any evidence, that standards had been lowered across the force over the last decade to meet arbitrary racial and gender quotas. Fixing these problems, Mr. Makeup said, was the first step toward repairing a military that, since World War II, had lost the ability to win wars.
