A sailor deployed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln said his father was detained by immigration authorities in Florida over the weekend, while the sailor was at sea in the Middle East nine months into his deployment. Luis Manuel Aviles Roa, 48, was detained Saturday shortly after 11 a.m. in Key West, Fla., where he lives. His wife, Argelia Aviles, told the Associated Press that he was arrested after leaving home to take his car to a mechanic. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the arrest, telling Military.com on Monday that the suspect “entered the country illegally on an unknown…

The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out a strike on another vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people accused of trafficking drugs in the first such attack announced in about two months. The death toll in the nearly yearlong U.S. campaign of bombing boats allegedly trafficking drugs now exceeds 210 after more than 60 strikes off Latin America’s Caribbean coast and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Forces “executed a lethal kinetic strike on a low-profile vessel operating along established narcotrafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific,” U.S. Southern Command said on social media. As with most of…
The gun known to the rest of the world as the Sig Sauer P320 is known to the military as the M18 and M19 pistols. The military always has to rename everything, after all, and we should be used to it.

They’re not worried in the least.In its defense, they did look into the matter, and that’s the reason they’re not worried.The Pentagon is defending the safety of M17 and M18 handguns — military versions of the…
Military leaders say that the number of sexual assault cases across the armed forces has decreased. That is according to a new Department of Defense (DOD) survey showing that the rate of unwanted sexual contact for active-duty men has decreased from 1.3% in Fiscal Year 2023—the last time the survey was administered—to 1% in FY25. The estimated rate of unwanted sexual contact for active-duty women decreased from 6.8% to 4.3% over the same period, DOD found.

During the Biden administration, gun control activists were able to get the Centers for Disease Control to remove any mention of defensive gun uses from its website. Previously, the agency had language indicating anywhere between 60,000 and 2.5 million DGUs annually; in most cases, instances where the trigger wasn’t pulled but the presence of the firearm was enough to prevent a situation from escalating into violence. Well, now those figures are back, and anti-gun activists are not happy about it. The Everytown-affiliated website The Trace spoke to anti-gun advocates Mark Bryant, who runs the Gun…

Most people already own the gear that would get them through a blackout. A flashlight in a drawer, a radio on the shelf, a power bank buried in a bag somewhere, etc. But more often than not, those devices are at maybe 25 percent, or possibly dead, meaning they’ll be useless when the power goes out. Owning useful equipment with a dead battery is one of the most common gaps in modern preparedness, and it’s completely avoidable. To avoid having dead devices during the next blackout or major disaster, you have to create a habit of recharging everything on a…
The late Ernie Navarre was known as the “Donut King” of Livingston Parish, Louisiana, but police say his son Jules is more of a drug kingpin than fried dough royalty.
