Kelly, a former Navy combat pilot, responded to the tech billionaire's remark by saying “he's not a serious guy” and should “go back to building rockets.”

Amid Veterans Affairs layoffs and jeopardizing America's relationship with long-standing allies like Canada, here's how veterans and US military members are responding:

CFL/ACFLs, Update to PRIMS Issue with Cycle 1 2025 Records.

Folks, one problem with the current administration and the conflicts that impact our nation is the simple matter of telling the truth. See what happens when you are challenged with the truth. Lewis Goodall Gets Hung Up on by Trump Ally and LBC Caller

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to remove diversity-related content in accordance with President Donald Trump's executive order to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government. Hegseth's order reportedly gave the Pentagon a deadline of Wednesday, March 5, to complete the task, but it looks as though the hasty effort had the unwanted side effect of erasing some of America's greatest heroes -- including at least one Medal of Honor recipient from World War II.

This further shows that Trump knows nothing about the military. What is a former Chief, who was a co-defendant in a classified documents case of all things serving on a board meant for future navy Officers. Sure does send the wrong message. President Donald Trump is nominating his close allies to serve on the board of visitors for the U.S. Naval Academy, a month after firing the previous board. On the list is Walt Nauta, a Navy veteran who has served as Trump’s body man and was federally indicted alongside the now-president in the classified documents case.

Mech Magazine - Spring | Summer 2025

President Trump’s admiration for President Vladimir Putin of Russia has been endlessly dissected, but the American leader’s policy shifts since taking office again could have profound effects.

WASHINGTON (AP) — References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and the first women to pass Marine infantry training are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by The Associated Press.

The Defense Department has started placing probationary employees on administrative leave while they are awaiting official action by their organizations or until their termination takes effect. According to the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) local, approximately 20 civilian probationary employees at the Defense Health Agency were summoned to a conference room at the agency’s headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia, where they were informed that they were being terminated. They were told to hand over their ID cards and laptops before being walked out of the building.

For years, his morning routine was as therapeutic as the job he loved: Wake up at 4:30. Run or lift weights by 5 a.m. Then head to the veterans mental health facility where he works in California to help veterans who are struggling after leaving the military—just as he once had. But these days, he says he sleeps through his alarm and wakes up already exhausted, with a pulsing dread in his stomach. The first thing he does is check his email: Does his staff still all have jobs? Does he still have a job? Does his team still exist?

Excuse me "commander-in-chief" but you are the cause of this escalation. After weeks of softening American policy towards Russia by pulling military and intelligence support for Ukraine’s defense, President Donald Trump threatened Moscow with further economic and trade sanctions after a massive Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian port city of Odessa triggered fires and damaged energy infrastructure.

Donald Trump has revealed he has sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei seeking a new deal with Tehran to halt its rapidly advancing nuclear program and replace the agreement he withdrew America from during his first term. The president disclosed the move in an interview with Fox Business due to air over the weekend, saying: “I’ve written them a letter saying, ‘I hope you’re going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing.’”

Unless the current administration intends to send troops to Gaza, this is not the way to negotiate and this is not conducive to maintaining or friendship with our Middle Eastern and Arab allies. In fact, his methods are childish to say the least. WASHINGTON − ''Shalom Hamas," President Donald Trump declared in Hebrew in what he said was his final ultimatum to the Palestinian group that attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Filled with capital-letter threats of "HELL TO PAY LATER!" Trump, in a posting on his social media site Truth Social, told Hamas ''you are sick and twisted" before demanding that they release all the remaining Israeli hostages.

This is not what we are supposed to be about, especially our military...

REF B IS NAVADMIN 058/23, NAVY SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE TO COMMAND NOTIFICATION OF PREGNANCY POLICY, ADMINISTRATIVE ABSENCE AND TRAVEL FOR NON-COVERED REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN provides supplemental guidance to reference (a). Reference (b) is canceled, and all hands shall be made immediately aware of this guidance. 2. Approval Timeline and Appeals. Reference (a) provides the methodology that must be applied for the approval of administrative absence or funded travel for non-covered Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). a. Approval Timeline. Commanding Officers (CO) or approval authorities must act promptly and with appropriate discretion when considering a request for administrative absence or funded Temporary Duty (TDY) travel. If a command structure does not have a designated CO, the approval authority is defined as the head of the unit, activity, or organization who holds command and control authority. Due to the time-sensitive nature of non-covered ART, approval decisions should be made no later than 5 days after the request is submitted. b. Appeal Process. If the CO or approval authority denies the administrative absence or funded travel for non-covered ART: (1) the CO or approval authority must notify the first O6/GS15 or higher Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC), and (2) the Service Member may appeal the request to the same O6/GS15 level or higher ISIC. Appeal decisions should be made promptly, no later than than 5 days after the request is denied. 3. Administrative Procedures. a. Requesting administrative absence. The Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) will be used for non-covered ART requests. (1) Select "Admin Absence - Repro Care" in block 12a of the leave request. Do not input any Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) information into NSIPS. (2) Administrative absence requests will be limited to the lesser of 21 days, or the minimum number of days essential to receive the required care and travel needed to access the care by the most expeditious means of transportation practicable. (3) Requests for convalescent leave following receipt of non-covered ART must be submitted as a separate convalescent leave period and may be approved based on a recommendation from a Department of Defense (DoD) health care provider or a non-DoD health care provider from whom the Service Member is receiving care. (4) Leave approvers are responsible for ensuring the duration of the administrative absence is the minimum amount required to receive the required care and requisite travel within the limits outlined in this NAVADMIN. b. Requesting funded TDY travel. If requesting funded TDY travel, the request shall be submitted in Defense Travel System (DTS) as a routine TDY. No HIPAA information will be uploaded into DTS as part of substantiating documentation for funded travel. 4. Command Tracking Requirement. Reference (a) guidance requires Navy commands to track travel costs executed by all authorized travelers for non- covered ART. The following is required: a. Reports must use the template located at [https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/Culture-Resilience/Parenthood- Pregnancy/Reports, which includes the required data in paragraphs 7.c.4(a) through paragraph 7.c.4(e) of reference (a). b. Reports of usage of the cost and usage of funded travel shall be submitted to Navy_Parenthoodandpregnancy@us.navy.mil once the TDY period has concluded. 5. The current OPNAVINST 6001.D Navy Guidelines for Parenthood and Pregnancy dated 12 March 2018 will be updated to reflect new guidance and policies. 6. Additional resources. Additional fact sheets and frequently asked questions are located at the below addresses: a. [https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Messages/ALNAV-2025/. b.
