    And no, I don’t get into the budget. Honestly, it’s voyeuristic and I have no interest in fueling this impulse for outsiders, who know nothing of this woman’s situation, to try and figure out where they think she made mistakes, thus making her unworthy of help or sympathy.

    Comments like this miss the point of the story - the woman I profile here is one of an estimated 160,000. This problem clearly goes beyond one sailor. Yes, service members get paid X, but for many, it’s clearly not enough and they are going hungry.

    So if she a e5 with 10 years that is 43k a year, plus 35k for housing in San Diego area or 3k a month. Then she gets 383 a month for food. Or about 83k a year. Also how much in kid support does she get. Notice these stories never cover the budget.

    I told one sailor's story of hunger and struggle in this story but she's not an isloated case. I spoke with three servicemembers - all single mothers. The thing they told me that should worry service leaders the most is that none of them had faith the military would help them.

    “I called my dad crying because I didn’t even have money to buy bread.” There’s a massive hunger problem in the military with troops unable to feed their families. Via

    Nothing in the replies is anything I haven't heard before, but it's still something to see them all in one place.

    My second deployment our brigade commander got tired of the SEALs coming into our AO without coordinating and getting in huge fire fights and calling for help. So he asked for a CONOP before the next mission. We got a satellite image of the objective with a single arrow over it

    The Chief here is aboard the PCU Daniel Inouye as the crew drives the ship named after the beloved lawmaker to Pearl Harbor for its commissioning. Inouye was not only a Senator for Hawaii from '63-'12 but also a Medal of Honor recipient for heroism in Italy in WWII.

    This whole thread is some serious SOF <eye emoji>

    Another dude I worked with at a different command, a newlywed at the time, spent half of his deployment fucking hookers and the other half blaming his techs for his own poor work ethic. He's now a US Congressman fwiw.

    In honor of the USMC birthday, I appreciatively re-up 's chart of Navy courts-martial, 1829-38: the spike in 1835 was due to the inclusion of USMC.

    What Happened to Members of the Military Accused of Storming the Capitol on January 6? & did tremendous reporting to track down details on the cases of those serving who allegedly joined in the attack. Proud to work with them.

    This seems like a pretty open challenge to all the other service chiefs... What do you say ...up for some crowd surfing?

    The Russian embassy did not agree to an autopsy of the diplomat, and the his diplomatic immunity meant that Germany's public prosecutor could not carry out an investigation.

    A Russian diplomat found dead on the sidewalk outside the embassy in Berlin is believed by German authorities to have been a secret agent for a Russian intelligence agency. He fell from an upper floor of the Russian embassy building in the German capital.
