Ft. Bragg, June 10, 2025 – Yesterday, we had the honor of witnessing the Commander in Chief, President Donald Trump, visit Fort Bragg as part of the Army’s 250th birthday celebration. His presence was a reminder of the strength, resilience, and dedication of our service members - past and present.
As a soldier and a proud military wife, I know firsthand the sacrifices made by our military families. Let this moment inspire us to continue standing strong, supporting one another, and ensuring that every airman, soldier, and spouse feels valued. Together, we uphold the legacy of service and commitment that defines our armed forces. Let’s keep pushing forward, lifting each other up, and honoring the mission we serve!
I just wanted to share this because moments like these remind us why we do what we do—supporting and uplifting those who serve. Leadership, unity, and dedication are what drive us forward, and this visit was a powerful reflection of that.

Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. (May 28, 2025): It is recommended that every driver shut off their engine when refueling at their local gas station. The Air Force, however, does not follow this sage advice. In this photo by Staff Sergeant Joshua Hastings, Airmen assigned to the 509th Logistics Readiness Squadron conduct hot-pit refueling for a B-2 Spirit bomber. “Hot pit” refueling is the practice of pumping gas into an aircraft immediately after landing while keeping the engines running. While this greatly reduces aircraft turnaround time, it is also an extremely dangerous practice.
First, the benefits of hot pit refueling. In a traditional landing, pilots turn off their engines to refuel and for general maintenance. This process can take up to six hours before an aircraft can return to service. Using hot pit refueling can reduce time on the ground to just 60 minutes, a sixty-six percent savings. The goal is to give U.S. aircraft the ability to get back in the air faster for more sorties and greater combat power.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
