When you are a non-swimming athlete and your time in the pool is basically limited to backyard games such as Marco Polo and Sharks and Minnows, you may need a swimming routine to get you better prepared for a fitness test.This system requires swimming five days a week, but each week includes the following staple workouts:TechniquePracticing the stroke technique you will use on military fitness tests is the first step. For strokes such as the sidestroke, breaststroke and the modified sidestroke — referred to collectively as the combat swimmer stroke (CSS) — you should receive technique training. This can occur…
The modern uber-luxe G63 AMG, a ubiquitous sight in West L.A. and Calabasas, traces a direct lineage back to historic military vehicles built by Magna Steyr in Austria. Those older G-Wagens featured solid front and rear axles, zero creature comforts, and the ride quality of a delivery truck. Not anymore, though. Mercedes started selling the G in the United States and eventually switched out one of the solid axles for independent front suspension, while doubling down on all the luxury trappings imaginable. The top-spec G63 AMG now has supple leathers, extensive tech features, and unbelievable power from a mild-hybrid twin-turbo…
Chicago pretty much dictates politics for the rest of the state. That means Illinois’s anti-gun bent isn’t because of most of the rest of the state, but because people in the Windy City want gun restrictions. And, of course, they don’t work.But as you already know from the headline, this is a bit of a weird story. It’s not a shocking one, though, because nothing about this is truly surprising, overall. That’s probably the only surprising thing about it.The father of a rapper whose album release party was the setting of a River North mass…

As we reported earlier today, a group of Democratic attorneys general who were seeking an injunction halting the ATF’s return of some forced reset triggers to their rightful owners had a very bad day in court this week, with the U.S. District Court judge overseeing the case essentially telling the anti-gunners they didn’t have a case. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his colleagues must have seen the writing on the wall, based on the motion they submitted after Wednesday’s hearing. HILARIOUS: Two days after a hearing that went extremely poorly for them, the anti-gun states…
Military life brings with it many changes — some planned, others unexpected. Due to this, military spouses often face unemployment and underemployment. PCS orders, deployments or the arrival of a new baby can suddenly interrupt or even eliminate a stream of income you and your family were relying on.When you’re depending on that paycheck to cover essentials like rent, car payments or groceries, losing it can turn your budget and world upside down. If you’re in that situation right now, worried, unsure and asking yourself, “What do I do next?” you’re not alone. There is a way forward.What follows are…
I’m not overly happy about how things came out in the One Big Beautiful Bill, but we still made some headway. The removal of the $200 tax stamp was a key moment, and now that it’s signed, it’s the law. The tax stamp is no more. And, to be fair, that tax stamp has stopped a lot of people from buying things like short-barreled rifles and suppressors. It’s just one more step that has to be undergone well before you drop the money on the product you’re getting registered.But regardless of how many it discouraged,…

This article was originally published by Ethan Huff at Natural News. Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have come up with a new microneedle vaccine technology that allows for small vaccine patches to be created on demand using three-dimensional (3-D) printing machines. Dr. Ana Jaklenec, who co-authored a study about the technology, stated that the plan is to use these 3-D vaccine printing machines in the Third World to mass-vaccinate poor people without the need for refrigeration and other traditional vaccine storage and transportation methods. “We could someday have on-demand vaccine production,” Jaklenec said in a press release, explaining that 3-D…
Earlier today, I wrote about a legal site that seemed to act as if the Bruen decision wasn’t a thing. A week or two back, Cam covered a federal court upholding a magazine ban. Again, it was as if the Bruen decision simply never happened. That’s a big problem. After all, the Supreme Court issued a ruling on guns and gun control. There really wasn’t a great deal of ambiguity to it. There was room for nuance–just what was the exact timeframe a law needed to exist to be considered as the time of the founding and just what kind…
WASHINGTON — A review of a Montana nuclear missile base where an unusual number of troops have been diagnosed with blood cancer has found no current risk factors that could explain it, the Air Force says. The service has been investigating the issue since reports surfaced in January of at least nine missileers who had served at Malmstrom Air Force Base who were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In the months since, more than 30 cancer cases at Malmstrom and the nation’s other nuclear missile facilities, including F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota and…
The same antigun politicians who want to sue members of the firearm industry for crimes they didn’t commit are now trying to blame automakers for when the cars they make are stolen. Welcome to bizarro-land, where commonsense and logic don’t apply. In the inverted world these politicians concoct, criminals aren’t responsible for their crimes. Gun makers should have predicted that the firearms they produced would be stolen, illegally sold on the black market, traded among convicted felons and used in subsequent crimes. Now, these same politicians say automakers should have expected their cars would be stolen by criminals and that’s…

The city of Detroit is…unique. I mean, when the makers of the first Robocop movie needed a dystopian version of Detroit, they used Detroit. Doesn’t that really just tell you everything you need to know? The truth is obviously a bit more nuanced than that, but the Motor City has its problems. It seems that city officials think they’ve got an idea to address at least some aspect of those issues. There is a push to make the city of Detroit a gun-free zone and it is facing some backlash, Gun rights advocates say establishing gun-free zones in parts of…
As the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit gets ready to deploy, it is heading to foreign shores without a key piece of equipment that other MEUs have typically had: combat landing vehicles. The commander of the 26th MEU recently told reporters that his unit has had to improvise as the Corps currently has a restriction on using its new Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) in the surf zones offshore following a string of rollover incidents in Southern California. While aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan, Col. Dennis Sampson, the MEU’s commander, told a group of reporters last week that his unit…

IBM is going to stop hiring humans, as the corporation shifts to automation utilizing artificial intelligence to get the work done. Technology is rapidly replacing the need for human beings, as humanity becomes obsolete. One month ago, to much dismay and widespread denial, Goldman predicted that AI (artificial intelligence) could lead to some 300 million layoffs among highly paid, non-menial workers in the United States and Europe. Goldman chief economist Jan Hatzius said: “Using data on occupational tasks in both the US and Europe, we find that roughly two-thirds of current jobs are exposed to some degree of AI automation, and…
But as gun owners know all too well, in blue states the Second Amendment is still being treated as a second-class right at best, and all too often a privilege to be doled out by the state. Gun Owners Action League executive director Jim Wallace joins today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co with a firsthand report at what’s happening in Massachusetts when it comes to the Second Amendment, and why he believes this is the most important civil rights fight of our time. I reached out to Jim after he shared his most recent writings with me, which are spot-on in…
House Republicans are floating investigating the Department of Veterans Affairs or cutting its communications budget as they fume about the Biden administration’s messaging on the House GOP’s debt limit proposal. The potential reprisals were suggested by a couple of lawmakers during a press call over the weekend hosted by the No. 3 House Republican, Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., in which Republicans insisted the debt limit and spending cut bill they recently passed would not result in reductions to veterans health care and benefits, contrary to recent VA warnings. “Obviously, they have too much money in the communications department if they’re…
