ROUND 1: A pilot out for joyride landed on a Royal Air Force base bc he ‘wanted to see the beach!” Now he owes them $5,000

ROUND 2: Have you or your fellow troops ever MacGyvered equipment to complete a mission? We asked, & you answered with things that are more “MacGroober level”, but impressive nonetheless. 

ROUND 3: One of the best feelings in the world? Cancelled plans. And 1,000 Marines in the freezing land of Norway are soaking up that feeling as we speak. 

ROUND 4: We sat down with the Sergeant Major of the Army, Michael Grinston, and he didn’t call Cons, “Sir” once. Suck on it Cons. We talked about the new Army regs on grooming and the overall culture in the Army today. Get your hair ties ready. 

ROUND 5: With new Presidents come new positions, so last week we gave you a rundown on the new head of Veteran’s Affairs, and this week we introduce you to ‘the flying 69’. (Kate - oh, GREAT position). Just kidding, but we’ll intro your new Secretary of Defense, retired 4-star Lloyd Austin!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

A former Army officer has relinquished his captain’s bars to enlist in the Marine Corps.
“I was kind of at a point in my life in the Army where I didn’t feel really fulfilled,” Nicholas Brooklier said in a Marine Corps news story. “So, it was either get out and go to the civilian world, and to be honest, I did not want to do that. I felt like my time in the service wasn’t over. I just felt like I needed a change in my environment.”
Now, Brooklier is scheduled to graduate from Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego on Friday and enter follow-on  infantry training.. Ultimately, he told the Marines, he hopes to earn his commission and become a Marine infantry officer.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Dumb Guy Resigns Army Commission To Enlist In The Marine Corps

Displaced Palestinians trying to return to their homes in northern Gaza recounted being shot at by the Israeli army in a video verified by Al Jazeera on Sunday.

At least 33,729 Palestinians have been killed and 76,371 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. 
The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive.

Palestinian doctors said they have discovered another mass grave in the vicinity of Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital, recently besieged by Israeli soldiers. At least 10 bodies have been recovered so far.

Israel’s army chief has said Iran’s weekend attack “will be met with a response” shortly after Israel’s war cabinet convened to discuss how to respond.

At least two more Palestinians have been killed in the village of Aqraba, southeast of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, in the latest of a series of attacks carried out by Israeli settlers.

Fighters with the Lebanese Hezbollah group detonated an explosive device after Israeli soldiers “crossed the border”, wounding four troops.

The Israeli army has renewed warnings for Palestinians not to return to Gaza’s north a day after its forces opened fire on desperate civilians trying to return home.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Navy Seal Lifes About Combat Action After Shooting Himself At National Park??

The squad continues to talk about things that they had no idea about. This time, it's ole President Calvin Coolidge. 

Silent Cal was most known for his brevity. One particularly infamous incident recounts a White House dinner guest smugly informing Coolidge she’d made a bet that she could get more than two words out of him. His single retort? “You lose.” Even his parting gift to the word was verbally frugal: a last will and testament comprised of only 23 words.
What Coolidge lacked in words, however, he made up for in many other ways. Here are some things you may not have known about our 30th president:You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

President Triggers Emergency Alarm And The Secret Service Come Scrambling In

Bill Millin was the "Mad Piper" who played allied commandos ashore under heavy German fire at Sword Beach in Normandy on D-Day, on the extreme eastern flank of Operation Overlord.

He was the only piper to lead allied troops into battle that day following a War Office ban which said pipers would attract sniper fire. But his commander, Brigadier Lord Lovat – Simon Fraser, hereditary chief of the Clan Fraser – was a law unto himself. "Ah, but that's the English War Office, Millin," Lovat told him. "You and I are both Scottish so that doesn't apply."You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.
