A good rule of thumb is that 90 percent of the fish can be found in 10 percent of the waterway. That leaves a lot of room for error for the average angler who just wants to bend the rod on a few bass or panfish. Thankfully, most fisheries have bridges, boat ramps, docks, and laydowns surrounding the banks. These are great places to start if you’re looking for a new honey hole. While…

More than a decade ago, I founded the Global War on Terror Memorial Foundation alongside a group of extraordinary Americans who served our country during our nation’s longest war. The initial group, which expanded to towering figures like Jan Scruggs — who founded the Vietnam Wall — Gen. David Petraeus and Gen. Jim Conway, sought to create a sacred place on the National Mall where service, sacrifice, loss and healing could be recognized. It was not only for the generation that fought these wars, but for generations yet to come. That mission has since been entrusted to a new board…

Fewer U.S. Air Force tankers are available for aerial refueling missions than official figures suggest, according to a new report.The problem is how the Air Force defines a tanker as mission-capable. A tanker that is available for non-refueling missions such as medevac or cargo transport will be rated as mission-capable — even if it can’t perform refueling.It is a second category, fully mission capable, or FMC, that rates whether a tanker is available for the refueling task.“The percentage of aerial refueling tankers that are available and mission capable has remained persistently below the standards that the Air Force established for…

I was there to fish, of course, but also to photograph the excursion, so I was particularly pleased with the clouds.

What happens to all your hard-earned game if the power goes out for an extended period of time? During Covid-19 shutdowns, we got a brief glimpse into the precarious nature of the every-day services that we rely on.

For many of us hunters and anglers, we were likely less worried. (But…

Navy Lt. Cmdr. David Westenberg knows how to grin and bear it. After a successful 38-year career in dentistry in Southern California, Westenberg wasn’t quite ready to put down his scalers.

Now, at the age of 67, the naval officer has become the oldest recipient on record to earn the Fleet Marine Force qualification insignia pin, according to a recent release. Attainment of the FMFQO designation signifies that a Navy officer…

Considering everything else that is going on in our world right now, that is really bad news. It is being projected that the El Niño that has developed in the southern Pacific is likely to rapidly transform into a “Super El Niño” of frightening strength. At the same time,…
