🇺🇸 A scoop of meat and a tortilla. This image was shared by a U.S. Marine deployed aboard the USS Tripoli and later posted by USA Today. The second image shows a dinner served on the USS Abraham Lincoln, sent to family members by a service member on board. U.S. service members have reported poor-quality food and small portions during an extended deployment near Iran. Due to prolonged operations and strained supply lines, crews are relying on limited resupply at sea, resulting in rationing and declining morale. Families have attempted to send care packages, but many are not reaching their destinations. The U.S. Postal Service and the Military Postal Service Agency suspended deliveries at the beginning of April due to airspace closures and other logistical challenges related to the ongoing conflict.






🚨Heavy Handed removal of retiree benefits: A retired LCDR was just banned from all Navy bases and facilities in the Hampton Roads area for accidentally having a personal weapon in his vehicle at the base gate checkpoint. The retired naval officer has a Concealed Carry Permit. He also followed all directions provided to him by base security while voluntarily discussing his CC permit and noting that he had mistakenly had the weapon in his vehicle. Security suggested he turn around and come back without the weapon. He did so gladly and immediately returned back through the same gate (without the weapon of course) while the same security guards offered apologies for the inconvenience. The subsequent ban was an unexpected shock and a grave heavy-handed response to an honest mistake. The JAGs and Commander at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek have unilaterally removed all retiree benefits (except retiree pay) from an honorable man. He can no longer attend base functions, work a job on the base, use MWR facilities, or the commissary (military grocery store). Based on Secretary @PeteHegseth’s desire to ensure Second Amendment rights are defended by our Institutions, and that those exercising these rights are not unlawfully weaponized against, I pray this ban is quickly reversed.
