A U.S. Army veteran who served as one of three men on the 12-person jury in the high-profile Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachussetts said nothing in his military background prepared him for the intense, closed-door deliberations. The trial captivated the nation. Clancy and her defense team did not dispute the fact that she strangled, killed her three children, ages 3, 5 and an 8-month-old in January 2023 in the Boston area. She then attempted to commit suicide by cutting her wrists and neck, and then became paralyzed from the waist down after jumping from a second-story window. The case…
It was Feb. 29 during the leap year of 2024 when Steven Strohmaier was deployed and took a photograph of a cutter. Little did he know that more than two years later, his image would be featured on over 10 million U.S. Postal Service stamps. Petty Officer 1st Class Strohmaier, of the U.S. Coast Guard, is one of two Guardsmen whose photographs are featured on a new USPS stamp released Sept. 12. The stamp art features photographs of the USCGC Eagle, the Coast Guard Academy’s primary training vessel since 1946, and USCGC Bertholf, a Legend-class national security cutter whose missions…
At the young age of 104, Vicki Herrel can look back on an interesting and full life with some remarkable chapters of American aviation history. She helped build military aircraft as a teenager during World War II, joined the Navy’s WAVES and transported troops across the United States before getting into a civilian aviation career that ultimately earned her a half-million-mile pin. Somewhere in the maze that is her amazing life, she managed to become engaged to three men at the same time, while turning them all down. A resident of Colorado, Herrell had a lifetime full of experiences that…

No good deed goes unpunished. That phrase feels especially appropriate after what happened to 19-year-old Martinez Long at Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn, Michigan. On July 3, 2026, what began as an altercation inside the mall turned deadly. According to the City of Dearborn, Cameron Watkins and Keonte Seaborn, both 19, produced weapons during the initial confrontation. Watkins obtained a handgun from another person’s purse and shot Seaborn, killing him. But Watkins didn’t stop there. Authorities say Watkins continued firing recklessly inside the public mall and shot another person during a struggle, causing a non-life-threatening…
Many former military members will use old fitness test standards as a model to maintain after service. After having coached many “average Joes,” I have a few exercises and events I like to help people build up to and maintain. Many of these standards come from similar military exercises and events that this gentleman asked about this week: Do you have something akin to PST standards for average Joes? Like how many pushups should someone in their 40s be able to do, how far/fast should they run a mile, etc? Thanks! Joe Joe, great question. However, I will say that…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump observed Friday’s 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at a ceremony at the Pentagon by commemorating the lives lost when al-Qaida militants hijacked planes and killed nearly 3,000 people in three locations and upended American foreign policy and national security. Trump and first lady Melania Trump listened as the names of the 184 people killed at the Pentagon that day were read aloud, a bell tolling between each. In his remarks, Trump recounted the stories of several of the victims and insisted that the moment has led to a fortification of American resolve.…

President Donald Trump once praised Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as a leader who had “really taken Europe by storm.” Meloni had flown to Mar-a-Lago in January 2025 for a brief visit before Trump returned to office, a trip Italian and European outlets treated as a sign that she could become one of Washington’s closest European interlocutors. That relationship now looks markedly more strained. Over the past several months, Meloni has criticized Trump’s comments about Pope Leo XIV, denied at least one U.S. request involving Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily, and moved to suspend the automatic renewal of a…

Military personnel preparing for deployment, PCS (Permanent Change of Station), or extended training may have the dilemma of storing their personal vehicle during that time.

When asked how I would prepare myself for military service and special ops if I had the opportunity to do it all over again, it is a fun trip down memory lane. When I recall the good with the bad, the successes with the failures, and the aches and pains of combining high school, college, athletics, and military preparation, I realize I could have done a few things better. Here is the question: Stew, if you were 19 years old again and had four years before entering a tactical profession, what would your training priorities be? Would they be the…

A re-sentencing hearing for Patrick “Tate” Adamiak, who’s currently four years into a 20-year sentence for allegedly selling NFA items without a license, has been abruptly canceled by a federal judge in Virginia, who says the Navy veteran was trying to bring up arguments that have previously been rejected by the courts, including the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Second Amendment Foundation investigative journalist Lee Williams was the first to report on the cancellation and the excuse offered by U.S. District Court Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen.Federal judge cancels Adamiak’s resentencing hearing.Adamiak’s family does not…
Military spouses face a specific employment problem that most career programs are not built to solve. PCS moves happen every two to three years on average. Licenses do not always transfer across state lines. Jobs get left behind. Careers restart from scratch. The unemployment rate among military spouses sits at around 21 percent — four to five times the national average — and underemployment is even more widespread. The SpouseWorks Scholarship (formerly the My Career Advancement Account Scholarship, or MyCAA) exists specifically to address this problem. It provides up to $4,000 in tuition assistance to eligible military spouses pursuing licenses,…
