(Podcast) Over the last 30 years, the Navy has assigned fewer personnel to ships. The goal was to reduce costs. But there have been concerns that fewer sailors has made it harder to maintain ships. And it could also have broader consequences for Navy readiness. We surveyed executive officers and visited some ships to learn more about this issue. GAO's Diana Maurer tells us more about this issue.

The posts on the white supremacy forum Iron March called for a paramilitary force that would operate as a “modern day SS.” As Iron March users traded messages, a vision for a new group began to emerge: buying land in remote, predominantly white areas of the United States; networking with locals; stockpiling weapons and supplies; and eventually starting a guerilla race war. “As time goes on in this conflict, we will expand our territories and slowly take back the land that is rightfully ours,” one of the users wrote. “This will be a ground war very reminiscent of Iraq.” That fit well with what Liam Collins—a New Jersey man who often went by the name Niezgoda online—had been thinking when he hatched the idea. Everyone in the group, he wrote, should spend time in the military. He was enlisting in the Marines, he said—“for the cause.”

WASHINGTON — The Defense Department is overhauling a job training program for transitioning service members with tougher requirements for employers, the creation of a centralized tracking system to measure outcomes and a greater focus on moving participants into full-time work after an internship. The new mandates were implemented in August and require companies that participate in a program called SkillBridge to demonstrate a “high probability” of immediate employment after the six-month program, according to the department.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed early Sunday they shot down another American-made MQ-9 drone flying over the country, marking potentially the latest downing of the multimillion-dollar surveillance aircraft. The U.S. launched airstrikes over Houthi-controlled territory afterward, the rebels said. The U.S. military told The Associated Press it was aware of the claim but has “received no reports” of American military drones being downed over Yemen.

Over the last few months, the U.S. Navy has suffered its most significant setback in the last 50 years, a disaster more damaging than the pier-side sinking of the Bon Homme Richard or the loss of 17 sailors in two destroyer collisions. It is a setback that is existential, and casts into question a core reason for the Navy’s very existence. For the Navy is seemingly abandoning a key mission: keeping vital sea lanes open to commerce. After a nine-month deployment to claw back control of the Suez Canal and Red Sea from Houthi rebels in Yemen, the Dwight D. Eisenhower(Ike) carrier strike group returned to the U.S., without dislodging the Iran-backed Houthis.

The US Navy sacked a destroyer captain after a persistent steering problem led to a Middle East near-miss

One of the Navy's amphibious warships suffered a major mechanical failure earlier this week that forced it to return to port -- at least the third such incident this year. Lt. Cmdr. David Carter, a spokesman for Naval Surface Force Atlantic, confirmed that the USS Iwo Jima suffered "a non-propulsion-related materiel casualty in the engineering department" that forced the ship to return to Naval Station Norfolk on Thursday. That description could cover everything from a problem with the ship's hydraulics to power generators to potable water equipment.

New Details Expose True Disaster of Trump’s Arlington Cemetery Fight

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) defended her vote against bipartisan legislation that expanded health benefits for veterans, saying Tuesday she didn’t want to spend “$600 billion forever.” Boebert faced off in a general election debate against her Democratic opponent, Trisha Calvarese. The Democrat pressed Boebert to explain why she didn’t support the landmark “Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act,” which expanded benefits for millions of veterans who were exposed to toxins during service and are suffering illnesses as a result.

Tim Sheehy, the Republican candidate for US Senate in Montana, a race that could decide control of the chamber, appears to have failed to follow Pentagon rules for clearing portions of his autobiography about his time as a US navy Seal, documents obtained by the Guardian show.

Update: U.S. Navy Sailor Arrested In Venezuela For Traveling Without Authorization

WASHINGTON — The first submarine fully integrated for mixed gender crews will join the Navy fleet next week during a commissioning ceremony in its namesake state of New Jersey. The future USS New Jersey, a fast-attack submarine, will become a deployable part of the Navy’s force during the ceremony at Naval Weapons Station Earle in New Jersey on Sept. 14, culminating five years of construction that represents a historic shift in how Navy submarines are designed.

As recently as June, Navy officials were still predicting that the service would miss its recruiting target for a second consecutive year, even as other services waxed bullish about their strategies for recruiting success. But in August, Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Rick Cheeseman revealed the Navy is now expecting to exceed recruiting targets comfortably, refilling its drained delayed entry program pool and creating some breathing room for the next fiscal year. And among the ingredients of this “catastrophic success” was an unconventional decision to allow in a greater proportion of recruits who scored in the bottom 30% in testing, two recruiting-focused admirals said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro broke the law by publicly endorsing the reelection of President Joe Biden and criticizing former President Donald Trump in several statements he made while on official duty overseas, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said Thursday.

Only eligible officers may communicate with a promotion selection board via the Letter to the Board (LTB) process. NAVADMIN 220/19 announced the introduction of a new application known as Electronic Submission of Selection Board Documents (ESSBD), accessible through MyNavy Portal (MNP). ESSBD improves the speed, transparency, and confidence of receipt over current LTB submission methods, such as hard copy and e-mail submitted letters and related attachments. a. ESSBD provides board candidates with the capability to electronically submit LTBs in a standard, consistent format, with or without attachments and will allow the candidate to see (for content and clarity) exactly what will be delivered and presented to the board. b. To utilize ESSBD, candidates must access document services through MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-record. On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. c. Submission and subsequent receipt acknowledgement for LTBs submitted via ESSBD or other means does not constitute confirmation of eligibility for the boards to which LTBs are submitted. If required, a full visual user guide is available at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and- promotion. d. LTBs must be received by Navy Personnel Command no later than 2359 (Central Standard Time(CST)) 10 days prior to the convening date of the respective board, as noted below. Submitters are cautioned to not wait until the deadline date to submit LTBs via ESSBD or other available avenues. Selection To Convening Date Due Date / Time Rear Admiral 22 OCT 24 11 OCT 24 / 2359 CST Rear Admiral (lower half) 23 OCT 24 12 OCT 24 / 2359 CST e. If unable to use ESSBD, the CSCSELBOARD@navy.mil mailbox account is capable of receiving encrypted correspondence in line with Department of Defense policy. If sending a board package from a non-NMCI network (bumed.mil, eu.navy.mil, etc.), please review procedures listed in NAVADMIN 220/19. f. The written communication may call attention to the board any matter concerning the record of the officer that the officer considers important. Written communication may include, as enclosures, correspondence from any individual concerning the eligible officer. Correspondence not originated by the eligible officer, including endorsement to the letter of the eligible officer and letters written on behalf of that officer, must contain a written acknowledgement by the eligible officer that he or she desires such correspondence be presented to the board. Correspondence without such an acknowledgement is considered third-party correspondence and will be returned without being presented to the board. Classified correspondence will not be accepted. 5. Questions regarding LTB submission should be directed to MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) by calling 1-833-330-MNCC (1-833-330-6622/DSN: 882-6622). 6. All officers are reminded of their responsibility to ensure the completeness and accuracy of their official records prior to the convening date of the board. 7. Merit reorder will not be authorized for the subject boards. 8. Released by Vice Admiral R. J. Cheeseman, Jr., N1.// BT #0001 NNNN CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED//

About 75 miles northwest of San Diego, beyond the view of much of the mainland, the rugged and remote Navy outpost of San Clemente Island remains a mystery to most Californians. For nine decades, San Clemente Island, the southernmost of the eight Channel Islands, has been owned by the Navy and is largely inaccessible to civilians. Throughout this time the volcanic isle’s sprawling shoreline and rolling hills have served as a crucial military training ground where U.S. troops detonate grenades and fire heavy artillery. It’s also the Navy’s last live-firing range for ship-to-shore bombardments.
