HONOLULU (AP) — Navy officials “lacked sufficient understanding” of the risks of maintaining massive fuel storage tanks on top of a drinking water well at Pearl Harbor where spilled jet fuel poisoned more than 6,000 people in 2021, a U.S. military watchdog said Thursday. That lack of awareness came even though officials had engineering drawings and environmental studies that described the risks, the U.S. Department of Defense’s inspector general said.

This NAVADMIN announces the next application window for positions on the Navy Electronic Sports (Esports) team as primary team members and auxiliary team members by Commander, Navy Recruiting Command (CNRC). The Navy Esports team significantly contributes to the multi-faceted outreach campaign of CNRC by engaging with prospective Sailors online and at gaming venues. Centennials are moving into digital spaces for most of their content consumption and social interactions, and the Esports domain is one of the most popular and vibrant online arenas to date. Connecting with future Sailors requires the Navy to be in the same spaces where those future Sailors reside. 2. Open to all Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) Sailors, the qualifications to become a primary team member are identical to the qualifications needed for recruiting duty. Refer to reference (a) for further details. Those selected as auxiliary team members will be required to have access to all necessary gaming equipment and peripherals to participate in tryouts and future virtual events, need an up-to-date government travel card with completed required training, have command endorsement to participate in events, and meet in game ranking requirements for specific titles. 3. Upon selection as primary team members, AC Sailors will receive a set of 3 year orders and RC Sailors will receive a set of 2 year definite recall orders to CNRC in Millington, Tennessee. All primary team members receive recruiting training at Navy Recruiter Orientation Unit (NORU), Pensacola, Florida, enroute to CNRC. The intent of NORU training will be to further develop communication skills and to ensure that team members understand the types of information sought by those inquiring about service in the Navy. 4. Upon selection as auxiliary team members, Sailors will receive a designation letter sent to their current command which will remain effective until their projected rotation date. Once an auxiliary team member completes a permanent change of station from their current duty station, they will not be restricted from trying out again as an auxiliary team member. However, they will need to complete the tryout process again. 5. Primary team members will operate at the Navy Esports facility, which is specifically designed for the team to practice, stream, and compete. Upon arrival at CNRC, they will develop a routine streaming cadence, encouraging followers and viewers to interact with the members and outreach content, and compete against high schools, colleges, and Esports league events across the country. 6. Auxiliary team members will operate primarily from their permanent duty station unless selected to perform at a designated alternate location for events. Upon selection as auxiliary team members, they will develop routine practice schedules with other team members for upcoming events. They will encourage followers and viewers to interact with Goats & Glory social media platforms, and compete year-round in high school, college, and Armed Forces Esports League events across the country. 7. Team member applications will be accepted via a continuously open web portal at https://www.cnrc.navy.mil/Esports/ 8. Additional Information: a. Detailed requirements for this program are listed on the CNRC webpage and should be reviewed thoroughly by individuals prior to submission.

An Intro to the Navy's Career Development Symposium (video)

ATLANTA — Devin Jeter dedicated his life to service. The 25-year-old was the youngest of six siblings and followed two of his sisters and an older brother into the military shortly after he graduated from Druid Hills High School. Devin enlisted in the Navy and served in Japan before he was recently redeployed to Jacksonville a few months ago.

USS George Washington (CVN-73) underwent an extensive refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) that lasted over 2,100 days due to budgetary, labor, and COVID-19-related issues.

Investigators in Tennessee say that new evidence has led to an arrest in an unsolved murder case over four decades old, in which a young navy veteran was stabbed more than 70 times. The Maryville Police department announced on Wednesday that Roger Dale Oody, 62, had been indicted for first degree murder in connection with the death of Billy Wayne Hearon in 1985. After being indicted, Oody was transported to the Trousdale Turner Correctional Facility and made his first court appearance on Friday. Police said he was 22 years old at the time of the murder.

In a close call, a Houthi missile came within 200 meters of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower earlier this year, according to a report in CTC Sentinel. Operating in the Red Sea and surrounding regions, the carrier deployed various defenses, but this near-hit underscores growing threats from non-state actors like the Houthis.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A new federal evaluation highlighted deficiencies in both the lead-up and response to the Red Hill fuel spill. The Inspector General of the Department of Defense released some scathing reports Thursday over the Navy’s handling of the jet fuel spill at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. He determined Navy officials did not effectively manage the operations of the Red Hill bulk fuel storage facility in accordance with federal and state laws and DoD policy, nor did they respond properly to the fuel incidents.

DUPLIN COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) - An active duty U.S. Navy sailor and his wife were killed in a crash involving a semi-truck, according to the North Carolina Highway Patrol. Troopers say the crash happened around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Ludie Brown Road at Willie Hatcher Road. Killed were Simba Wallace, and his wife, Natalie Castro.

The Navy saw the worst suicide rate since 2019, as the sea service’s rate continues its upward trend, according to the Annual Suicide Report, released Thursday.

For the tenth year, the Naval Institute will host the DARE Innovation Workshop. This year's workshop will take place in conjunction with the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) West 2025 from Tuesday, January 28th to Thursday, January 30th at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. DARE 2025 will bring together select junior officers, forward-thinking enlisted personnel, and influential civilian leaders to engage on critical issues facing the sea services. 2. DARE 2025 seeks 10-15 highly engaged and thoughtful individuals who will offer creative solutions to pressing sea service issues. Target participants are active and reserve personnel O3-O4 and E5-E7, with various backgrounds and service specialties, and civilian counterparts from various industries and academia. 3. Last year, DARE 2024 participants delivered solutions to service challenges presented by General Eric Smith, Commandant of the Marine Corps. This year, DARE 2025 participants will conduct a root causal analysis, brainstorm, and present solutions in response to two service challenges posed by the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, Admiral Linda Fagan. Select DARE 2025 participants will brief the Commandant on their group's recommendations. 4. This year, the Commandant has challenged participants to address the following topics: a. Retention: What are the primary factors that would lead you to leave the service? Which factors are most effectively addressed by policy changes, given budgetary constraints? Are there situations where you might feel you have no option but leaving, and how might leadership remove those obstacles to your staying in the service? How can we make your service the best choice for you and your family? b. Innovation: Innovation is more than new technology. In a time of budgetary constraints and an inflexible acquisition process, it is particularly important that we pay credence to the broader definition of innovating, making changes by introducing new methods, ideas, or products, particularly those that have been proven elsewhere. Recognizing we are different services with different systems, what are ways that we could bring in ideas from other service branches or the commercial sector, or share practices to operate more effectively? Specifically, how can we think about how we do work in a smarter or more efficient manner? What are ways we can promote interoperability between the services from the bottom up, at the deckplate level? What does leadership need to do in order to support these initiatives? 5.

Across hours of podcast and television interviews, Army veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth has articulated his plan for a "frontal assault" to reform the Department of Defense from the top down, including by purging "woke" generals, limiting women from some combat roles, eliminating diversity goals and utilizing the "real threat of violence" to reassert the United States as a global power.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump stunned the Pentagon and the broader defense world by nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world's largest and most powerful military. The news was met with bewilderment and worry among many in Washington as Trump passed on a number of established national security heavy-hitters and chose an Army National Guard officer well known in conservative circles as a co-host of Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

The USS Edsall, an American warship known for its crew's courageous last stand against Japanese forces during World War II, has been found. The U.S. Navy announced the discovery on Monday. The 314-foot destroyer was found by an Australian survey ship last year, deep in waters south of Australia's Christmas Island. But it wasn't positively identified as the Edsall until last week.

The US Navy defeated a complex attack launched by the Houthis on Monday that saw the rebels fire several missiles and drones at two American warships off the coast of Yemen, a Pentagon spokesperson said on Tuesday. The destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Spruance came under fire as they were transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a strategic maritime chokepoint between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
