According to a media release from Hegseth’s office, the undersecretary of war for intelligence and security will be responsible for updating the War Department Manual, which lays out physical security measures for the DOW. This update “will authorize permitting officials to review service member requests to carry personally owned firearms.”
In his video, Hegseth states, “If the rejection of an application is necessary, the rejection shall be in writing and explain the objective, clearly describable, and individualized basis for such decision. The review shall be a dispassionate and commonsense application of applicable law and standards.”
There might be aspects of a particular soldier that justifies not allowing him or herself to be armed, although i find myself wondering why you would trust such a person with arms in an official capacity.

The first shooting happened around 4:30 p.m. near the intersection of South Grand and Park Avenue at the BP Gas Station. Police say a 15-year-old was shot multiple times and is in stable condition at an area hospital.
Police say their preliminary investigation indicates the 15-year-old had pointed a gun at someone, and that person fired in self-defense. Police say the shooter is cooperating with investigators.
Speaking on camera, the homeowner told WSOC he "immediately began shooting" after coming face to face with the intruder in a hallway. He said his only focus was protecting his family. According to his account, the person ran from the home, and he could not say whether the suspect had been struck. The homeowner declined to share more details while the investigation is still underway.

A rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO probably offers the most widely available and varied selection of ammunition in America today. A quick visit to cheaperthandirt.com revealed a total of 144 different ammo options in a variety of bullet weights available in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington at the time of this writing. These options also tended to be more economically priced than ammunition for other center fire rifle chamberings. Rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO also tend to produce negligible recoil and are generally light and easy to carry. Factors like these make rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO attractive options for …

When it was released in 1959, Beh Hur became the second highest grossing film in history (behind Gone With The Wind) - saving MGM from bankruptcy. It won an astonishing 11 Academy Awards, including best musical scoring by composer Miklós Rózsa.
It's good music for Easter. I hope that you (like we) are enjoying it with family.
Here's another recent example of why Jewish Americans must embrace and exercise their right to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment. Being a defenseless victim is NOT a Jewish virtue. In fact, it is against Jewish law.
https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/man-charged-antisemitic-hate-crime-miami-beach/3790877/
My book "Guns for Jews" discusses why being armed for self defense is in accordance with Jewish law, and provides resources for those new to owning and carrying a firearm. The link goes to the free PDF on my Google Drive.

I found this over at Instapundit this morning.
Evidently, the US is building a temporary runway about 50 km from the Iranian city of Isfahan. Ostensibly to fly out the Iranian nuclear material once the US takes possession of it. Isfahan is a large Iranian city, with about 2.2 million population. The fact that the IRGC can't challenge it is a huge testament to their current ineffectiveness.
This is a huge logistical flex. To build a usable runway while under an active bombing campaign. If the US really wanted to flex against them, they would park a working Burger King on the end of the ramp. Next to the NCO club, with a stripper pole.
Hiding alone in a mountain crevice behind enemy lines, the injured American airman knew exactly what to do: survive and evade.
For more than a day, the weapons systems officer whose F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down inside Iran avoided being captured by encroaching Iranian forces. At one point, he scaled the rugged terrain to a ridgeline 7,000 feet above sea level, equipped with little more than a pistol, a communication device and a tracking beacon.
It was into the high mountains that a team of American commandos, accompanied by US aircraft dropping bombs to clear the area, swarmed to locate the officer, bringing him and themselves to safety.
The FBI arrested a married couple Thursday accused of fraudulently billing Medicare for $7.45 million while running a hospice with a survival rate reported to be more than 97% after five years. They were the first in a series of arrests planned Thursday, federal officials told CBS News.
A high survival rate at a hospice provider is one of a series of red flags identified by state auditors for fraud because most people enter hospice care in the final stages of a terminal illness. In past cases of fraud, operators were found to be using false or stolen identities to collect federal reimbursements for palliative care.
This depressing chart shows more than $1 trillion dollars of Medicare spending in 2024. Other coverage reports that the task force examining this hospice fraud was named "Never Say Die."
You wonder how much of our hopeless deficits might disappear if the fraudsters were defanged. Also, how many people in need of medical care are shunted aside by the fraudsters.
Puyallup police officers responded to a domestic violence call in the 1200 block of 31st Street NW shortly after 9 a.m. on April 2.
A family dispute that began in a home spilled outside, and the three people ended up in a neighbor's driveway and garage.
The suspect, identified as Guanlao through medical examiner records, was armed with a handgun and shot the two women, according to police.
The owner of the home where the shooting occurred intervened, shooting Guanlao. Guanlao died at the scene.
Around 6:30 p.m., deputies were dispatched to a report of a burglary in progress in the 19000 block of Alta Vista Avenue.
They arrived to find the suspect — identified only as male — suffering
from a gunshot wound, officials said. He was pronounced dead at the
scene.

Along with all of the other items that a seasoned Prepper has, barter items are critical. You undoubtedly will need items that you forgot to stockpile during the good times.

Authorities said Brooks was driving with her 8-year-old daughter, 4-year-old son, and their dog when she came across a van pulling a trailer.
Video captured by surveillance cameras showed the van pulling over to let Brooks pass, but she stopped her car and started yelling at the other driver.
Investigators said Brooks eventually took a pistol from her car, which led the other driver to grab his own gun and shoot her.
Today is the 101st birthday of famed Navy fighter pilot Royce Williams. It is great to see him still alive and kicking! Williams was just recently awarded the Medal of Honor.
