'LODs have been a systemic problem for many years. Instead of addressing it head-on and complying with federal law ... this memo is another attempt to obfuscate the issue and make it difficult for injured airmen to obtain their due benefits.'

At the heart of the Air Force's combat search and rescue corps is its aging fleet of rescue helicopters. But as the Air Force phases in new HH-60Ws, the size of the force is set to shrink.

Easily the best/most important NatSec writing of the year.
Absolutely everyone concerned with defense and the Pacific needs to read this.

Britzky: I spoke with one enlisted soldier in a combat arms unit who told me that shortly after the secretary’s remarks, her noncommissioned officer made a comment to her that “all you women are getting out now.” She told me, “I want nothing to do with the military after this.”

Looks like the very rough ride was confirmed. Plane had to leave early. They reported svr turb and a "sawtooth" eye. Looks like they moved 600-700ft up & down during this stretch in ~1 min. But they captured some historic data including a 893mb center drop. Mission for the ages.

DOD has spent a lot of time trying to fool the public in believing the building is a fortress on lockdown where generals brief war plans in the hallway. But to get to our offices, we pass: a CVS, a cell phone store, a pharmacy, and down the escalator, a mall-like food court.

Must-read from @TBowmanNPR. It’s important everyone understands that this document is not about press’ ability to “roam the halls.” It equates asking for information—the press’ literal job—with criminal activity. The new rules even stipulate that sharing our contact information on social media and asking people to reach out could make journalists a “security risk” and be grounds for revoking badges. That is the real reason why no one — save one far-right outlet— is signing. npr.org/2025/10/14/g-s…
