“I’ll be very honest with you. It’s very unsettling to see how much the U.S. is not connecting the dots on our No. 1 challenge,” Studeman (Rear Adm. Mike Studeman, commander of the Office of Naval Intelligence), said during the U.S. Naval Institute’s WEST 2023 conference in San Diego, California.
“It’s disturbing how ill-informed and naïve the average American is on China. I chalk this up, if I could summarize, into a China blindness. We face a knowledge crisis and a China blindness problem,” he added.

Speaking of mothballed tech. I was a navy seabee in late 80s early 90s and all of our equipment was Vietnam Era from our rifles to brand new trucks and jeeps still wrapped in plastic. We were the red headed step child of the navy lol. I believe the nmcb battalions have been decommissioned. Seems like they hire civilian contractors for almost everything anymore

Staff with the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), work in conjunction with members of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), to exhume a casket during a disinterment at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial (MACM) in Manila, Philippines, March 6, 2023. 22 of the individuals recovered from the disinterment are part of the “Enoura Maru” project, which includes three POW transport ships used by Imperial Japanese forces throughout the second World War, known as “Hell Ships”, and over 400 unidentified sets of remains.

In its yearlong study of almost 900,000 service members who flew on or worked on military aircraft between 1992 and 2017, the Pentagon found that air crew members had an 87% higher rate of melanoma and a 39% higher rate of thyroid cancer, while men had a 16% higher rate of prostate cancer and women a 16% higher rate of breast cancer. Overall, the air crews had a 24% higher rate of cancer of all types.

Higher cancer rates found in military pilots, ground crews
The data had long been sought by retired military aviators who have raised alarms for years about the number of air and ground crew members they knew who had cancer.

I got to work side by side with seabees while in the army. I was in an engineer unit and was the army version of a Seabee. Much respect for the seabees!
