So, what did you do after high school? How long have you had to wait for your full story to be understood? I offer to you Teddy Sheean;
On December 1, 1942, Sheean was a gunner’s mate on the corvette HMAS Armidale, when it came under attack during an operation near Japanese-occupied Timor, now the country of Timor-Leste across the Timor Sea from the Australian city of Darwin. … …Japanese warplanes swooped in on the Armidale.

Staff Sgt. Vohn Arnold grew up a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
When the city hosted the first round of the NFL draft Thursday night, Arnold didn’t expect to be much more than a spectator. He was just happy to join roughly a hundred other service members at a USAA Salute to Service gathering at a local winery earlier in the day.

The U.S. Air Force’s upcoming sixth-generation F-47 fighter will not replace the F-22 Raptor when it enters service in the early 2030s. Instead, the two aircraft will fly together in a layered kill chain, with the F-22 providing near-range agility and the F-47 providing long-range penetration. The F-35 Lightning II, F/A-XX, and B-21 Raider will round out the future fleet.

The Space Force’s acquisition arm announced on Friday the 12 companies who have received contracts to develop space-based interceptor (SBI) prototypes for President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome.
The service awarded other transaction authority (OTA) agreements — worth up to a combined $3.2 billion — to the vendors in late 2025 and early 2026, according to a Space Systems Command press release. Under the contracts, the companies will develop prototypes of a space-based architecture that can shoot down enemy missiles after they’re launched.
On the first day of the 2026 Best Sapper competition, 1st Lts. Bryce Sullenger and Christopher Barrett rushed to a swimming station, read over the task and challenge, and hit the water. They swam, got out and were told they had to swim an additional 50 meters each. They had missed part of the challenge and made a crucial mistake. That threw them off, especially because it was so early in the competition, when a lot of points were at stake.
“We just had to brush it off our shoulders and move on to the next event and not get carried away,” Sullenger said.
