Allie Delury traded her role as an Air Force combat camera operator for something a little less stressful: a feature film producer. However, speaking days before her short film “Fault” was set to debut at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, Delury was feeling a rush of nervous energy she hadn’t experienced in a while. “I’m over the moon,” Delury told Military.com. “Coming from my background, not getting into film until later than most, it feels very, very surreal that my film is debuting at Tribeca, one of the top five film festivals in the world. I…

Boating season is officially here, and while the thrill of being on the open water appeals to millions, it can be especially appealing to veterans. Recreationally, the peacefulness and tranquility of boating offer several mental health benefits, along with opportunities for a successful transition out of the service for veterans looking for work in the boating industry. Veterans at Brunswick Corporation, a Tampa-based company, told Military.com they found a strong sense of camaraderie and purpose working for the large boating manufacturer, home to brands such as Boston Whaler, Mercury Marine, Sea Ray and Bayliner. “We employ a strong veteran population…

Black Diamond has a long history in touring and mountaineering gear, so it’s a relief to see the brand deliver that in the Recon Stretch Ski Bib. In my opinion, the defining trait of this bib design is its four-way stretch BD.dry fabric, which gives it a noticeably more forgiving feel than traditional hardshell bibs. On long ski tours or bootpacks, the fabric’s flex, light weight, and mobility translate into less restriction and more comfort. And there’s far less noise than crinkly GORE-TEX fabric, which sounds like sandpaper against itself. In short: The Black Diamond Recon Stretch Ski Bibs ($479) sit squarely in the…
Too many great games exist. If somebody spends every waking minute of their life playing video games, they might experience about 15% of the worthwhile projects released over the decades, and that’s an optimistic figure. Simply put, everyone misses out on a couple of masterpieces that fly under their radar or get buried in their endless backlog. Don’t let these brilliant FPS games be among them. Especially on PC, first-person shooters are so plentiful that only a couple of titles per year manage to stick their heads out of the crowd to announce their presence. A couple of classics aside,…
Fact-checkers like to portray themselves as disinterested investigators, a modern-day version of Joe Friday of “Dragnet,” seeking only the truth and attempting to shield you from misinformation. In reality, especially when it comes to reporting involving firearms, they’re more like Barney Fife of “The Andy Griffith Show,”—a bumbling incompetent. It would be funny. If it wasn’t a serious problem.Like Fife, who can only be trusted with a single bullet that must be kept in his buttoned-down shirt pocket—not his gun—when a fact-checker attempts to determine the truth or falsity of a claim involving firearms or…
Mitsubishi and Ford worked together in the 1980s to produce pickup trucks for the American market. That’s a partnership that still boggles the mind today, 40 years later. The partnership is made all the more surprising by the fact that Chrysler held a 15% stake in Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in the early 1980s, so Mitsubishi apparently had a pretty mercenary attitude about who it would and wouldn’t do business with. A New York Times report from June 1982 states that Mitsubishi was on board for a “three-year agreement” which would see the Japanese brand selling “up to 75,000 2.3-liter turbo…

Between graduations that benchmark the next stages in self-reliance, to forever-handy Father’s Day ideas for dad, the right multitool always makes a fitting present.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The United States and Iran are close to signing an agreement aimed at ending their war, three regional officials told The Associated Press on Friday. A senior U.S. official said the tentative deal includes terms for removing and destroying nuclear material from Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted Friday on X that an agreement “has never been closer.” He gave no details, saying a final deal was still pending. The apparent breakthrough in negotiations comes after Iran exchanged fire with the U.S. and Israel over three days this week, threatening to return the Middle East to…
A PCS move involves lots of moving parts, like housing decisions and relocation logistics. One area that’s easy to overlook is homeowners insurance. While most homeowners assume their coverage remains in place during a move, PCS orders can create insurance gaps that leave your home, personal belongings, and finances at risk. Whether you’re selling your home, renting it out, or leaving it vacant during deployment, your insurance needs often change. Understanding how PCS moves affect home insurance can help you avoid denied claims, unexpected costs, and coverage gaps. What Happens to Homeowners Insurance During a PCS? Your military homeowners insurance…
Massachusetts’ restrictive gun control laws failed to stop a violent felon from illegally arming himself and opening fire on a busy Cambridge thoroughfare last month, and now the state’s draconian gun laws have once again had a high-profile failure after a pair of juveniles held up a lemonade stand in south Boston run by a pair of youngsters. The 12-year-old boy and 11-year-old girl were robbed of about $80 on Wednesday afternoon by two masked individuals who are thought to be not much older than their victims. The police put out a public call Thursday afternoon…
BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO’s top military officer is weighing alternative plans to defend Europe should it come under attack from Russia, after the United States announced that it is cutting the number of aircraft and warships that it would provide in a security crisis. The so-called NATO Force Model is Plan A for making forces from the 32 member nations available in times of peace, crisis or war. It sets out the military assets that commanders can call on in phases over the first six months of any conflict. But last month, the Pentagon warned its NATO allies that it…
This article was originally published by Jeremy E. Powell at The Mises Institute. It needs no special introduction to argue that, after years of repeated lockdowns, restrictions, and vaccination pressures that violate both choice and conscience, the ongoing panic from global media and potentiality for lockdowns will undoubtedly land poorly in today’s polarized environment. It isn’t complicated to understand why. Those three years of lockdowns, restrictions, and vaccination pressures weren’t about abstract data or ideals. For many people, they represented isolation, business closures, loss of jobs and years, and a time where walking out of the house could have gotten you arrested…
I’m not going to sit here and tell you that driving while under the influence of anything is a good idea. Anyone with a functional brain knows that it’s not. DUI can not just lead to your own death, but also the death of others. The hell of it is, drunks are often the only survivors of DUI crashes, which is some kind of perverse irony that I wish wasn’t a thing. Those guilty of DUI can face all kinds of penalties, ranging from fines all the way up to jail time, and they typically…
Salesforce and the U.S. Air Force recently inked a $72 million contract, described as a natural evolution of the current state of military operations that aligns with the “massive revolution” kickstarted by artificial intelligence. The $72 million Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) is described by the longtime cloud-based industry stalwart as an effort to accelerate digital transformation and mission readiness with Missionforce National Security, which entails the company’s focus on national security based on its work alongside the Department of Defense, the intelligence community in the Associated Aerospace and Defense Government Systems Integrator, and the defense industrial base. This ELA will…
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol and his former defense minister were sentenced to 30 years in prison Friday in a case alleging Yoon ordered drone flights over Pyongyang in 2024 to heighten tensions with North Korea and justify declaring martial law at home. The Seoul Central District Court found Yoon and his ex-defense minister, Kim Yong Hyun, guilty of aiding an adversary and abusing their power, saying they sought to provoke North Korea into launching armed attacks or other serious retaliation against South Korea to manufacture a national emergency. It said the moves…
