The service started a process to review its existing standards nearly two years ago. A group of Army leaders and stakeholders found many of the rules to be ambiguous and difficult to interpret, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer said during a Sept. 8 media panel. The updates, which go into effect Oct. 15, seek to keep a conservative appearance for both men and women, Weimer said. “What sets the U.S. Army apart is our professionalism, and that’s a direct reflection of committed Soldiers who adhere to and enforce the standards,” Weimer said in an announcement of the new…

As NATO prepares for a potential Russian invasion of the Baltic region, there are many questions.

Gideon Advocate Micro Prism Buy Now The world of 1X prism sights can often seem confusing. They’re essentially a red dot sight, but with what can seem like worse eye relief, a worse eyebox, and a dimmer reticle. So what’s the point?

The Advocate is a 1X prism aiming to complement red dots Gideon is a fairly new company in the budget optics market, but it has made a…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s pursuit of a clean-shaven military took its latest step Monday when the Pentagon announced that troops who require medical shaving waivers for longer than a year will face involuntary separation, according to an official memo. The announcement, which is dated Aug. 20, follows a force-wide review launched by the Pentagon in March to assess military grooming and fitness standards. In the memo, Hegseth mandates that troops who seek individual exemptions must receive final waiver approval through their unit commander, which can only be granted after a written recommendation from a medical officer. Service members granted waivers…

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an order sending the National Guard into Memphis to combat crime, constituting his latest test of the limits of presidential power by using military force in American cities.Trump made the announcement with Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee visiting the Oval Office, calling what’s coming a “replica of our extraordinarily successful efforts” in Washington.That was a reference to last month, when the president deployed National Guard troops to the nation’s capital and federalized the city’s police force in a crackdown he has since argued reduced crime.RELATEDTrump said that, in addition to troops, the push in…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Longtime Wisconsin guide Jeff Van Remortel says the moon phase was in their favor on June 4, when he and a longtime client, Mike Jacoby, were out fishing for muskies in Green Bay. The action had been slow for a couple days before that, due to clear skies and heavy winds. But with the moon showing around 8 a.m., they had a 45-minute window when the bite turned on. It wasn’t long enough to catch very many fish, but they did land one great one: a…

This article was originally published by Micahel Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  I was recently reminded that, as we were getting ready to enter September, I described it as a “pivotal” month.  I got to thinking about that, and I decided to look up the definition of “pivot”.  According to Vocabulary.com, to pivot “is to turn or rotate, like a hinge”.  I found that to be very interesting, because events have certainly taken a significant “turn” this month, haven’t they?  In fact, many are referring to the assassination of Charlie Kirk as a major “turning point”, and that also…

Editor’s note: This is a developing story.President Donald Trump says the U.S. military again targeted a boat allegedly carrying drugs from Venezuela, killing three aboard the vessel.“The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S.,” Trump said in a Truth Social post announcing the strike. “These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests.”The strike that Trump says was carried out Monday came two weeks after another military strike on what the Trump administration…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics If you plan on hooking a world-class Atlantic salmon in heavy current, you better have your boots laced. Just ask the fly fisherman in the video below, who ran roughly a mile down a river in Norway chasing after a 45-pound fish. The giant salmon took him so far downriver so quickly that his guide had to hop in a vehicle just to catch up with them. By the end of the clip, when the guide finally nets the fish in a pool, the fisherman drops…

Not long after the ruling class attacked a civilian boat, claiming it was carrying members of the Tren de Aragua gang, Donald Trump refused to rule out more strikes on Venezuela. The attacks on civilians without due process are a war crime, and Vice President JD Vance infamously said he didn’t “give a sh*t” what people think. U.S. Commits War Crime: J.D. Vance Says “I Don’t Give A S**t” Social media influencer and frequent Trump critic Brian Krassenstein, however, said the quiet part out loud. Because that boat was not aligned with any military, this looks like a cut-and-dry war…

We informed you earlier this month about how a Tennessee court overturned two state laws that restricted the carry of firearms for defensive purposes. Now, proponents of the laws are pitching a fit, and the state’s attorney general is appealing the ruling. On August 22, a three-judge panel of the Gibson County Chancery Court ruled that the law that bans carry in state parks and another law that allowed police to stop those carrying a firearm without any criminal intent or cause. “This statute makes the entire state a ‘gun-free’ zone” for those members and supporters, the ruling stated. Gun…

A 75-year-old commission advocating for women in the armed services will be revived as part of a phased restoration of 39 Pentagon advisory groups put on pause earlier this year, Military Times has learned. The move, detailed in an internal memo, follows a May memo that recommended termination for the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, as well as a number of other committees now set to be restored. The Sept. 8 memo, signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, also introduces four new advisory committees, including groups focused on artificial intelligence and education. “To effectively manage DOD resources…

Twenty-eight people have died in the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s most recent and ongoing outbreak of Ebola. As of September 15th, there were 81 confirmed cases, and of the 28 deaths, four were health workers. This outbreak is being caused by the most severe strain of the virus, the Zaire strain.  Genetic analysis shows that the outbreak likely began after a spillover from an animal to a human, rather than a continuation of earlier outbreaks, according to a report by The Conversation.  Ebola disease is caused by an infection with an orthoebolavirus. Ebola can spread rapidly…
