Okay folks, please be aware & beware... The Pan American Health Organization declared the disease eliminated in 2000, thanks to widespread vaccination efforts by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But it's still an issue globally, which means an unvaccinated person could catch the highly infectious disease abroad and bring it back to the United States. And declining vaccination rates, particularly in young children, are causing public health officials to worry about the impact of emerging outbreaks.

Articles about the renowned Native American Code Talkers have disappeared from some military websites, with several broken URLs now labeled "DEI." Why it matters: From 1942 to 1945, the Navajo Code Talkers were instrumental in every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific Theater of World War II. They were critical to securing America's victory at Iwo Jima.

What they need to do is let these Sailors have a break and get caught up on some maintenance and training. This is waste and abuse.

What a waste of resources... The US Navy is deploying a guided-missile destroyer to police the southern border. The USS Gravely previously finished a nine-month deployment fighting the Houthis in the Red Sea. The warship is armed with the long-range Tomahawk, a powerful missile used for striking land targets.

Student-led walkouts have occurred at schools for U.S. military families across the world, with a larger, coordinated protest being planned.

For years, the Chinese government and its propaganda apparatus have relentlessly attacked VOA and RFA for their critical coverage of China, particularly on human rights and religious freedom.

The Houthis attempted an attack on aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) in response to the series of Saturday U.S. attacks on Houthi territory in Yemen. It is the first time the Houthis have claimed an attack on an American warship since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel went into effect on Jan. 19. A senior defense official told Fox News on Sunday that U.S. warships had shot down a dozen attack drones headed to the strike group since the strikes, and the strike group had been unaffected, according to a post on X.

Officials tell VOA the shortage of amphibious warfare ships has reached a breaking point. While the ships make up just 10% of the fleet, they are the go-to alternative to aircraft carriers when commanders need something more precise or expedient. VOA Pentagon Correspondent Carla Babb reports.

The US has launched a "decisive and powerful" wave of air strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, US President Donald Trump has said, citing the armed group's attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. "Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at US aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies," Trump wrote on his Truth social platform, adding this had cost "billions of dollars" and put lives at risk.

The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense released reference (a) requesting the Secretaries of the Military Departments provide guidance reminding all Service Members of the relevant Departmental policies governing the expression of their own political opinions and the traditions and norms of military service. 2. Service Members may establish social media accounts for personal, non- official use. Personal social media accounts must be clearly identifiable as personal accounts and may not be used to conduct official Department of the Navy (DON) or DoD communications, unless by exception identified in paragraph 3.26.a of reference (c). Use of military titles or appearance in uniform alone is not prohibited on personal social media accounts. However, Service Members must ensure that personal social media accounts avoid use of DON or DoD titles, insignia, uniforms, or symbols in a way that could imply DON or DoD sanction or endorsement of personal content. Where confusion or doubt is likely to arise regarding the personal nature of social media activities, Service Members are encouraged to include a disclaimer clarifying that their social media communications reflect only their personal views and do not necessarily represent the views of the DON, DoD, or the United States. As the position and grade of individual Service Members increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between personal opinions and official positions of the DON or DoD. Senior personnel are highly encouraged to include a disclaimer on personal social media communications. a. A sample disclaimer reads: "The opinions and views expressed here belong solely to the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Defense (DoD) or its components. Any mention of commercial products or services does not imply DoD endorsement. Additionally, the presence of external hyperlinks does not signify DoD approval of the linked websites or their content, products, or services." 3. Service Members are permitted to use personal social media accounts to forward, like, or link to official information, provided it is done in a manner that does not express or imply DON or DoD sanction or endorsement of any personal content, and does not result in the unauthorized disclosure or dissemination of non-public information (or unclassified information that reveals classified information when aggregated). While Service Members may generally express their personal views on public issues, uniformed service brings certain limitations to expression, including on social media. a. Service Members are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) (reference (e)), and Navy or Marine Corps regulations while on and off duty. Certain provisions of reference (e) restrict the expression of Service Members, including but not limited to: Article 88, Contempt Towards Officials; Article 92, Failure to Obey an Order or Regulation; Article 133, Conduct Unbecoming an Officer; and Article 134, Disorders and Neglects to the Prejudice of Good Order and Discipline or Conduct of a Nature to Bring Discredit Upon the Armed Forces. In accordance with references (b) and (c), language that may tend to diminish the confidence in or respect due to his or her superior officer(s) is prohibited to be published by Service Members, per the UCMJ. b. Service Members are encouraged to refrain from media engagement in matters of U.S. Government, DoD, and DON policy. 4. References (h) and (i) provide non-exhaustive lists of permissible and prohibited political activities by Service Members. Service Members may not engage in partisan political activity while on duty and should avoid inferences that their personal political activities imply, or appear to imply, official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement by the DON or DoD. 5. This ALNAV is not all-encompassing or an authoritative source for all regulations pertaining to the use of social media by Service Members. For further guidance, Service Members should review the references. a. Reference (f) can be found at [https://www.marines.mil/portals/1/docs/2021usmcsocialmediahanbook.pdf b.

This NAVADMIN announces the convening of the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) U.S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) Selection Board #2 on 19 June 2025. This board will select highly-qualified Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers (NFO) for USNTPS. It will also select one fixed-wing pilot for U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School and one rotary-wing pilot for Empire Test Pilot School (ETPS). ETPS graduates have significant and long-lasting influence on platforms and systems that directly impact the future warfighting capability of the Fleet. Request command and Fleet community assistance to identify candidates with strong operational performance and, ideally, strong academic backgrounds in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields of study. 2. To be eligible for board consideration, a signed and command- endorsed application in line with reference (a), must be received by MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) no later than 8 May 2025. Applicants are encouraged to review reference (a) in detail to ensure their package complies with application guidelines. Applicants with missing required information may be removed from consideration. Additional documentation (including Wing/CAG endorsements, letters of recommendation, Fitness Reports (FITREP), etc.) will be accepted until 5 June 2025, but must be submitted by the applicant as a letter to the board, in line with subparagraph 4a below. The application must include e-mail address(es), phone number(s), college transcripts, Anthropometric Data Measurement Record, a current Physical Readiness Test and Body Composition Detail Report from Physical Readiness Information Management System, last FITREP, service agreement, and post-TPS test squadron assignment preferences. Current contact information (ashore/afloat email and phone) of the Commanding Officer must be included to expedite notification, if selected. 3. Typical post-TPS assignments for graduates are listed below, but are subject to change and vary board to board. Post-TPS assignments are typically finalized halfway through the TPS course of instruction. a. VX-20: VP, VQ, VAW, VRC b. HX-21: All Helo, VRM c. VX-23/VX-31: VFA, VAQ d. VX-30: VP, VAW, VAQ e. UX-24: All communities 4. Command Endorsement: a. The command endorsement must explicitly state whether the applicant, if selected, will be allowed and available to report for aircraft pre-arrival training by the following dates: (1) 1 August 2025 for fixed-wing pilots and tilt-rotor pilots (2) 1 October 2025 for rotary-wing (3) 1 November 2025 for NFO b. Applicants with endorsements but availability dates that fall after these pre-arrival training dates may be removed from consideration and not reviewed by the board. Inability for the applicant to meet the above dates may be mitigated by conducting initial training in a Temporary Additional Duty (TEMADD) status at the expense of the endorsing command. If this is required, it must be explicitly stated in the command endorsement that the endorsing command will provide TEMADD funds until the applicant can officially detach. If the applicant has official change of duty orders and is projected to transfer prior to the board convening date of 19 June 2025, a gaining command endorsement is required in addition to the endorsement from the applicant's current command. 5. USNTPS has a cooperative program with Purdue University wherein Purdue teaches asynchronous online pre-arrival courses that serve as a technical refresher and provide four credits toward a master's degree. Candidates selected for USNTPS will receive directions within 2 weeks of selection board results for their immediate enrollment in Purdue Online. Required pre- arrival coursework on foundational subjects (e.g., calculus and mechanics) will commence online approximately 5 months prior to USNTPS class convene date and will run concurrent to the preparatory aircraft training described above, dependent on the applicable timeline. In cases where the pre-arrival online courses precede aircraft training, candidates are expected to complete the online courses while still attached to their current command. If operational conflicts exist that prevent online pre-arrival course completion, selected candidates should contact USNTPS promptly to discuss contingencies. 6. Application package submissions: a. The preferred method of application submission is electronic. Email encrypted PDF submissions to cscselboard@navy.mil and carbon copy ernesto.r.villalba.mil@us.navy.mil and brandy.l.dempster- theisen.ctr@us.navy.mil.

WASHINGTON — The White House has directed the U.S. military to draw up options for increasing the American troop presence in Panama to achieve President Trump’s goal of “reclaiming” the Panama Canal, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning. During a joint address to Congress last week, Trump said, "to further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal.” Since then, administration officials have not said what "reclaiming" means.
