This is Chapter 6 in the Cancer Memoir. Catch up with previous chapters here.
This October is my first experience walking into Breast Cancer Awareness Month as a breast cancer thriver. And honestly, I don’t know how I feel about this month. I am still in the trenches of my battle, my fight, my journey. As I type this, my watch is buzzing, reminding me to take one of my new cancer drugs.
I have discovered so many nonprofits who are raising their hands to lead in this fight to support all those going through breast cancer.
Ukraine has lately unveiled its Victory Plan against invading Russian forces wherein President Zelenskyy plans to force Russia to negotiate.
The Army is starting a new pilot to support a broader push toward the service’s adoption of generative artificial intelligence capabilities, officials announced Friday.
The effort, dubbed #CalibrateAI, comes on the heels of other efforts — such as #DefendAI, #BreakAI and #CounterAI — that have been launched as the service pursues a 500-day implementation plan for adopting these types of technologies and overcoming some of the challenges associated with them.
“Gen AI models present unique and exciting opportunities for the Army.

The Army is planning to tailor its next-generation ground system to collect and disseminate sensor data to theaters and units.
Much is still to be determined regarding the final Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) — to include how it will be employed and by whom — which will be shaped by upcoming experimentation. But officials know for certain that it won’t be pure fleeting, or giving the same system to all types of units across all theaters, a trend seen across many different capability portfolios for the Army.

The Army is not buying a new PT uniform, but it will offer soldiers a wider selection of optional PT gear items, a spokesman for the service’s top enlisted leader said.
“The Army will continue to issue the current Army Physical Fitness Uniform,” Master Sgt. Dan Carter told Task & Purpose. “We are developing options for soldiers to supplement their issued uniforms, upgraded shorts, shirts for instance.”
These options are intended to be more comfortable and help with soldiers’ performance needs “while still maintaining a uniformed appearance,” Carter said.

This is Chapter 1 in the Wellness Memoir. Come back every Friday for the next two months to walk this journey with Jaimi, one chapter at a time.
My name is Jaimi Erickson, and I am the wife of a retired United States Marine. He served for 24 years on active duty, and during the final 20 years of his military career I was along for the adventure. During the next eight weeks, I will share the pivotal experience that taught me just how strong military spouses can be under pressure. I still look back and am amazed that so much could happen during one year of time.

Our military services are steeped in tradition built out of real-life heroics of our predecessors: George Washington and his soldiers fearlessly crossing a frozen Delaware river; Marines raising the flag atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima; the harrowing contests in the air over Europe by the Tuskegee Airmen and the 100th Bomb Group; James Lawrence’s final cry admonishing his men, “Don’t give up the ship!

Army Green Berets with specialized mountaineering training were attempting to reach a site on Mount Rainier in Washington where the wreckage of a Navy EA-18G Growler was spotted. The plane went down two days ago on a training flight, the Navy said, and the jet’s 2-man crew remained unaccounted for after rescuers spotted the crash site early Thursday amid bad weather and mountainous terrain.
The Whidbey Island-based EA-18G crashed on Oct. 15 during a flight the Navy called a “routine training mission.
When Jenna Malone’s husband, Isaac, returned home from his deployment with PTSD and a TBI, she stepped in as his full-time caretaker, but their marriage began to unravel. To make matters even worse, Jenna developed secondary PTSD. She was juggling work, three kids under the age of 5, and caring for her husband amid his suicide attempts and his refusal to get help.
“It took me a long time to realize what secondary PTSD was and how it was impacting me,” Malone told We Are The Mighty. “One of the most helpful things on our journey was a program called Warrior Care Network.
Sometimes, the sweetness of life is found in the simplest of things—like waffles for dinner or cheering at a high school wrestling match.

Learning to be present can transform your experience, allowing you to savor the small victories amidst the challenges.
Here are five tips to help military community members, especially spouses, embrace the present and make the most of the moments that matter most.

This is Chapter 1 in the Transition Memoir. Come back every Thursday to read Amanda Huffman’s story, one chapter at a time.
When people ask me how I decided it was time to leave the military, I tell them I made a list. It isn’t a lie; I did make a list. But it also isn’t the whole story. The easier truth is that I had already decided that military life wouldn’t work for us once we decided to start a family, but there was more to it. There was also hurt and betrayal from those I served with that pushed me to leave.
I made a list when I got pregnant with my first son.

The Marine Corps’ latest flight testing of its jet-powered XQ-58A Valkyrie drone saw the system use common tactical data links to share targeting information with F-35 stealth fighters, according to the service.
The event, which occurred earlier this month during the annual Emerald Flag joint exercise at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, comes as the Corps is conducting research, development, test and evaluation for its Penetrating Affordable Autonomous Collaborative Killer-Portfolio (PAACK-P) program, and the U.S.
By the time new soldiers get to their first unit, they have faced being hunted by a swarm of drones, according to the head of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.
The Army has revamped the Forge, which has been the capstone event of basic training for over half a decade, based on lessons learned from the war in Ukraine, Gen. Gary M. Brito told Task & Purpose in an exclusive interview on Wednesday.
Defense Department leadership selected Anduril-made, quiet and modular Ghost-X aerial drones to be quickly mass-produced in the second tranche of the Replicator initiative.
Sources who spoke to DefenseScoop on the condition of anonymity this week confirmed that the uncrewed system was put forward for Replicator 1.2 by the Army’s Medium Range Reconnaissance (MRR) program — and ultimately made the cut.
Replicator was largely conceptualized by Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks and her team, who first unveiled the initiative in August 2023.
In 2021, Jim Lamson and Jeffrey Lewis wrote “Iranian President Raisi’s Renewed Emphasis on Space Is Likely to Create New Tensions,” which argued that Iran’s prioritization of space under President Raisi could lead to new challenges for the United States.

The Army wants flexible funding from Congress on electronic warfare to more easily move money around programs to focus on priority areas.
Officials are finding from Ukraine’s conflict with Russia that the technology landscape can change in days, not months. As a result, the Army is pitching the need for fiscal nimbleness to be able to make changes to systems on the battlefield or procurement efforts to get soldiers the capabilities they require.
The Ukraine-Russia war appears on a knife-edge as rivals backers could be drawn into the conflict, while Russia continues to make gains.
One of, if not the top, priority for the Army’s intelligence task force is figuring out how to put AI against the vast amounts of data collected from a variety of platforms.
“We are drowning in data. I see data as both a challenge but also an opportunity. That’s essentially what AI is for our Army. It’s an opportunity. AI presents opportunities for progress more than any other technology we have seen in the last few decades,” Lt. Gen. Anthony Hale, deputy chief of staff, G2, said during a presentation at the annual AUSA conference Wednesday.

The U.S. military carried out a series of air strikes across Yemen on Wednesday, using B-2 Spirit bombers to hit weapon caches in the country.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the strikes in a statement, describing the targets as “five hardened underground weapons storage locations in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.”
U.S. Central Command further detailed the targets in a statement, saying they were used to house “missiles, weapons components, and other munitions used to target military and civilian vessels throughout the region.

The U.S. military struck more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen on Friday, going after weapons systems, bases and other equipment belonging to the Iranian-backed rebels, U.S. officials confirmed, reported AP.
Last night, the US military attacked five underground warehouses of the Houthis’ advanced military equipment in the provinces of Sana’a and Sa’ada in Yemen. For the first time since the beginning of the war, the US military used the B-2 heavy bombers and not with fighter planes, reported Amir Tsarfati.
Search and rescue forces were fighting mountainous terrain and cloudy weather to reach the site where a Navy EA-18G Growler crashed Tuesday during a training flight.
