It’s winter and winter means a surge of seasonal flu infections in the northern hemisphere. This year, however, Americans are looking at not just a surge in seasonal flu infections but it is coupled with a surge in three other infections:

We used to have a pretty solid Air Defense network – that went away decades ago.

At one time, the American skies were pretty well defended with radars, Nike Missile Batteries, BOMARC, Hawk, F-101s, F-102s, F-106s, etc.
That disappeared in the 1970s and we’ve assumed away the threat since then.
We do have a few anti-missile missiles in Alaska and California – but it is not many, less than 100. That will be easily overwhelmed with a mass launch.

After the 2020 election was stolen, and the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up became household news, American service academy graduates began to come together and discuss ways to live up to their oath to fight against enemies foreign and domestic, and restore the republic they loved and fought for to its rightful honor and grandeur.
Alternative alumni groups were formed as many believed the established alumni organizations had fallen prey to the Marxist betrayal many active-duty officers were partaking in.
In partnership with the NFL and USAA, New Orleans Saints Defensive End Cam Jordan surprised U.S. Army Reserve veteran Keara Torkelson with a pair of Super Bowl LIX tickets. Jordan has a long history of supporting the military; his grandfather served in the Army and uncle in the Navy.
Keara Torkelson has nearly a decade of service with the U.S. Army Reserve (2006-2013), achieving the rank of sergeant. Having joined the Army right out of high school, Sgt. Torkelson served as a human resources specialist, completing basic and career training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina.
The Army is combing through industry feedback on how the service can effectively turn its Army Data Platform (ADP) into a multi-vendor program that adds new capabilities, as well as flexibility on how users can purchase them.
The service published a request for information in November that sought comments on the organization’s vision for the so-called ADP 2.0 — including plans to sign on multiple companies that can offer additional easy-to-use data analytics tools and support the platform’s growing number of users.
Many service members, veterans and their families think a large-scale war is likely to break out in the next three to five years, a recent survey found.
The latest Military Family Lifestyle Survey by Blue Star Families, a non-profit aimed at advocating for military families, released its 2024 results on Tuesday. The survey polled 5,573 respondents, about half of whom were spouses or partners of current troops. The rest were a mix of veterans, families of vets and currently serving members in active duty, National Guard and reserve service.

The Deputy Commandant of Cadets, United States Corps of Cadets, issued a memorandum for record on February 4, 2025 disbanding a list of cadet clubs. This is pursuant to guidance from the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Army.
Too bad the Superintendent and Commandant of United States Military Academy didn’t think to do it on their own.
It’s interesting to see what the new civilian leadership saw which professional soldiers missed.
The cadet clubs disbanded were known as Shared Interest Group (SIG) clubs.
Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team will be taking a close look at Pentagon spending to search for potential waste and fraud, President Donald Trump said Friday.
Trump officially established DOGE via an executive order on Jan. 20, the day of his inauguration. Its purpose is to “implement the President’s DOGE Agenda, by modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity,” according to the directive.
Musk, the billionaire businessman who’s leading the organization, has been designated a “special government employee.

Lockheed Martin will continue to evolve THAAD capabilities as the US Department of Defense looks to develop a missile defense shield.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth suggested to service members on Friday that he’s prepared to slash capabilities that haven’t fared well in wargaming.
The new Pentagon chief, in a town hall with troops at the Pentagon, noted the threat posed by advanced adversaries such as China.
“President Trump asked me to not maintain the status quo. We’re going to take unconventional approaches. We’re going to move fast, think outside the box, be disruptive on purpose, to create a sense of urgency that I want to make sure exists inside this department.

The pilot of an Air Force F-16C had just seconds to act after the plane’s engine abruptly died a minute after take-off from a New Mexico air base last year.
“Engine failure,” the pilot radioed to three other F-16s moments after a loud clap rocked his plane and left it unflyable just a thousand feet off the ground.
An Air Force report released Wednesday on the investigation of the April 2024 crash laid out the “catastrophic” mechanical failures that brought the plane down and how the pilot survived the mishap.

Amid the struggle of figuring out who I was and where I was going next, I went to the Military Influencer Conference in 2018. At the time I had made less than a few hundred dollars my whole blogging career. I was in the red, and it is crazy to think that I invested in myself to attend this conference. But it was truly a turning point.
At the conference, I had the chance to meet people I had connected with online, and I told them about my idea for a podcast focused on sharing women veterans’ stories.
MilDef experienced its highest levels of order intake and sales in Q4 of 2024, with 89% surge in orders, reaching Skr773m ($70.81m).
Happy Friday! As usual, trying to keep up with the latest defense news has been like trying to drink from the FIREHOSE! Case in point, President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that the United States could take over and redevelop Gaza.
When Trump was asked if he would consider sending U.S. troops to Gaza, he initially said, “If it’s necessary, we’ll do that.”
But on Thursday, Trump posted on Truth Social that “the Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting,” adding that “No soldiers by the U.S.
