Active-duty military personnel and their spouses will soon benefit in their employment endeavors due to a new law going into effect Thursday. On Oct. 1 in Maryland, legislation known as the Modernizing Civil Relief for Service Members Act kicks in and allows active-duty service members and their spouses who relocate to the state pursuant to military orders to practice under a valid occupational or professional license issued by another state, provided they meet specified eligibility requirements and remain in good standing with their licensing authority. The bill, signed into law May 26 by Democratic Gov. Wes Moore, aims to reduce…
Midterm elections are fast approaching. A former governor told Military.com that active-duty military personnel who plan to vote should be privy to their rights and engage in their civic duty. Hundreds of thousands of American military members worldwide are under pressure to make sure they are registered to vote for the elections taking place Nov. 3, notably requesting and receiving an absentee ballot so they can be returned in time for tabulation. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican and U.S. Army veteran, told Military.com he is reminding all active-duty service members of their rights and protections in the voting…
Western veterans, including U.S. veterans, are reportedly training Russians to fight in Ukraine. A leaked intelligence memo compiled for Five Eyes intelligence agencies found with “strong confidence” that Russia has recruited the veterans to train their citizens as well as “active duty military” via a European combat camp, as initially reported by The Telegraph earlier this month. The memo said the combat camp in northern Bulgaria, run by military training company Alfa-Metal, employs instructors from U.S. police forces and U.S. Navy SEALs, as well as instructors from other backgrounds—including the SAS and the Australian Commando Regiment. Alfa-Metal denied these allegations.…

Years ago, on an old web forum, there was someone whose signature read something like, “Those who beat their swords into plowshares end up plowing for those who don’t.” Since we were all into medieval warfare to some degree, as the forum was about medieval armor, it didn’t seem out of place. Yet it got into my brain and has spent a quarter of a century living there rent-free. No, it’s not biblical, but it made a good point.See, we’re not quite at the point that Isaiah meant when he talked about beating those swords…
Dental coverage changes after leaving active duty. When my husband retired, we had to figure out what worked for our family. Shopping for insurance is no joke! So many options, and I had a lot of questions. What worked while you were serving may not be available after you separate or retire. The right option depends on several factors, including your veteran or retiree status, VA enrollment, family needs, location and the type of dental care you expect to need. For some veterans, the first step may be determining whether they qualify for dental care through the Department of Veterans…

The Civil Rights Coalition’s Toby Leary and Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence head Ruth Zakarin recently squared off in an extended debate over Question 9 on this November’s ballot, which would repeal the newest round of restrictions on gun owners in the state known as Chapter 135. The 40-minute long debate can be viewed in its entirety on the CBS Boston website, and I wish that every Massachusetts resident would watch, as Leary did an excellent job in explaining why these laws are so off-base. The big challenge for Leary and The Civil Rights Coalition…
It was a rare gathering involving American service members from a bygone era, exemplifying a sense of “pride” as many of their military colleagues have long since passed. About a dozen World War II veterans, all older than age 100, gathered Sunday at the Texas Military Forces Museum at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas, drawing hundreds of visitors who came to hear firsthand accounts before all the war’s survivors are gone. The event, called the Gathering of WWII Heroes, was organized by The War Remembered, an oral history project hosted by the museum on Austin Museum Day as part of…

Oil surged as Iran threatened to expand the war in the Middle East, worsening the outlook for a deal to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz. Brent futures jumped more than 3% to trade above $106 a barrel, after a top Iranian military official said Tehran may broaden the war to the Indian Ocean if attacked. Prices pared some gains later in the session as traders also weighed rising flows from the region. “This is a market with very little shock absorbers left, so any credible headline pointing to another potential physical disruption, or escalation, has a disproportionately outsized impact…

The island nation of Jamaica has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the Caribbean, and one of the highest rates of violent crime to go along with them. A conviction for illegally possessing a firearm comes with a mandatory prison sentence of 15 years, and this week a number of attorneys, including the head of the Jamaica Bar Association, staged a silent protest outside the country’s Supreme Court to demand reforms to the gun laws. The attorneys are protesting what they describe as the injustice of the 15-year mandatory sentence for certain firearm offences,…
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine overnight killed at least eight civilians, officials said Thursday, as Moscow’s 4½-year-long invasion of its neighbor grinds on despite renewed appeals for a settlement at this week’s U.N. General Assembly. A strike on Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region killed six agricultural workers and wounded 12 others, Interior Minister Ihor Vyhivskyi said. An attack on the capital Kyiv killed a man and a woman, he said, while officials in the southern port of Odesa also reported a major bombardment. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed in a speech at the United Nations…
