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.

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.”

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.

I think militaries from other countries are scratching their heads... Mr. Makeup demanded no more "fat generals," saying all service members would need to meet fitness tests and grooming standards. "No more beardos," he said. "The era of unacceptable appearance is over." "Simply put, if you do not meet the male level physical standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test or don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for a new position or a new profession.

The 79-year-old president’s appearance, first reported by Axios, adds much more scrutiny—and security presence–to what was already a controversial and expensive meeting. “We have confirmation from the White House that TOTO is now attending the speech on Tuesday,” a planning document obtained by The Washington Post says.

Are you kidding me!? It's all for show and tell?! The “guys with the stars on their shoulders make for a better audience from an optics standpoint.” The defense secretary’s team plans to record his speech and then release it publicly. It will also reportedly be amplified by the White House. The gathering, which is scheduled to take place Tuesday, was described as a “pep rally.” But bringing hundreds of generals to Quantico, including those stationed abroad, could prove extremely expensive.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The National Congress of American Indians strongly condemned on Saturday a Pentagon review that decided against revoking medals awarded to U.S. soldiers at the 1890 Battle of Wounded Knee, an event which many historians consider a massacre.

The Pentagon has stepped back from its policy that requires all troops to get the flu shot every year by introducing exemptions for reservists and proclaiming that the shot is only necessary in some circumstances for all service members, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press. The memo, written by Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg on May 29 and sent to all the military services, says reserve troops now will need to be on active duty for 30 days or more before being required to get an annual flu shot. It also says the military will no longer be paying for reservists or National Guard members to get the vaccine on their own time.

RHODE ISLAND, UNITED STATES 09.25.2025 Story by John Goulette Surface Warfare Schools Command NAVAL STATION NEWPORT, R.I. (Sept. 25, 2025) – The U.S. Navy’s Military to Mariner (M2M) program, managed at Surface Warfare Schools Command (SWSC), is helping Sailors turn their sea time into credentials that matter long after their time in uniform. The program provides Sailors with pathways to earn merchant mariner licenses, which are issued by the U.S. Coast Guard’s National Maritime Center. By recognizing Navy training, qualifications and operational experience, M2M ensures Sailors leave service with certifications that carry weight in the civilian maritime industry. “One of the newest certificates is for the Qualified Member of Engineering Department (QMED),” said Kara Krenisky, SWSC’s Military to Mariner program manager. “Any engineer, designated or not, that leaves boot camp and completes the Engineering Professional Apprenticeship Career Track (EPACT) course at Surface Warfare Engineering Schools Command (SWESC) Great Lakes can go to their ship, finish a Job Qualification Requirement (JQR) on board, get it signed off, spend 180 days at sea, and get a license.” Krenisky noted that most requirements are met during the EPACT course, with the remainder covered by online learning and shipboard qualifications. “Once a Sailor is done, they can send me an email requesting their certificate, they get their certificate, submit their application, that’s it.” The program is also expanding opportunities for other ratings. “We are working on a 200-ton master program with Japan, so the Boatswain’s Mates (BM) out in Japan that run the tugs for our ships can get licensed,” Krenisky said. “Another certification in development is Able Seafarer for BM, Quartermaster (QM) and Operations Specialist (OS) ratings.” Earning a license benefits Sailors in and out of uniform. “For those who stay Navy, it strengthens their records,” Krenisky said. “For those who separate, it provides a credential that translates directly to the civilian world.” SWSC is the only Navy command operating a M2M program. Since joining SWSC in 2021, Krenisky has guided Sailors through the application process using existing Navy records such as histories of assignments, fitness reports and designation letters. Sailors also complete a medical certificate before submitting packets to the National Maritime Center. Application usually takes about a month to process. Once approved, Sailors have one year to schedule and pass their exam at a regional exam center. Importantly, the program is open to all Sailors. Everybody can do this,” Krenisky said. “Any rate, any designator, any level. Some ratings may get a leg up, but anyone with sea time is eligible.” Krenisky’s advice is straightforward: start early. “The earlier they start, the higher a license they could end up with by the time they’re done and retired.” Krenisky also emphasized the program’s broader value. “We’re building a workforce that is more versatile—able to serve both in the Navy and across the civilian fleet that supports it.” For more information, please reach out to the M2M program manager at: SWSC_NWPT_M2M@navy.mil or 401-841-3149.
