Many of us have been there: starting a new job at one duty station, only to hand in our two-week notice a year later because of last-minute orders. Others have taken on full-time work, only to realize that a lack of child care made it impossible to keep going.

So many military spouses put careers on hold to support our service members and the mission.

By the late 1950s, the Space Race was dominating the Cold War, the United States military was rapidly testing advanced fighter jets and looking at how it could build out its rocket arsenal both for offensive use and to send Americans into space. And then they hit a snag.

Since hitting newsprint in 1950, Snoopy has become one of the most popular comic characters of all time.
Without speaking a word, America’s most recognizable beagle taught the public about physics, somehow sleeping and living on top of an A-frame doghouse.

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy has deployed one of its eight Type 055 class heavy destroyers, the Zunyi, for free-form confrontational exercises targeting a simulated enemy in the South China Sea, highlighting many of the ship’s capabilities for such operations. During the exercise the destroyer was tasked with reconnaissance and early warning missions for a naval task force, and managed to successfully acquire its target and gather a large amount of data in real time.
