Annabelle Loma has spoken with her husband only a few times since he attempted to jump overboard from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln during his current deployment. Communication has been difficult to come by, and he is now on medical hold.Loma, who lives in San Diego, said her husband had been repeatedly overextended before he tried to jump from the carrier.“He’s scared,” Loma said. “He thinks he’ll get a dishonorable discharge, and just because he was burnt out, his 13-year career is ruined, just like that. That’s not fair, that’s not right. That’s not what he should be worrying about right now.”Loma said she initially received a call from the ship’s ombudsman after the incident but has not heard from anyone with the Navy in recent weeks.Lincoln’s roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines remain on a deployment that began Nov. 21. The carrier has been deployed for more than eight months while supporting U.S. military operations in the Middle East against Iran. The deployment, which was anticipated to end in May, has been extended with no publicly announced return date.A sailor aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln observes a fueling-at-sea alongside the USNS John Lewis, June 28, 2026.

Recent combat with Iran has put pressure on U.S. munitions stockpiles as the Pentagon pushes defense companies to accelerate production and delivery of critical weapons.Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg told defense-industry leaders in an Aug. 5 memo that they have 21 days to submit plans for “significantly faster, more aggressive delivery schedules and/or increased production for critical capabilities.”“Years-long development cycles are not acceptable,” Feinberg wrote. “We must dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our production capacity now.”The memo also asks companies to propose specific capital investments and facility expansions and to explain how they would work with the Pentagon to increase weapons production. Feinberg also called on industry to demonstrate its willingness to “put skin in the game.” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the responses will help inform the department’s fiscal 2028 budget request.The increased demand comes as the U.S. has used large quantities of advanced munitions during the conflict with Iran, with recent estimates showing declines in stocks of key missile interceptors.A Center for Strategic and International Studies analysis estimated that U.S. stocks of Patriot interceptors fell from 2,330 before the war with Iran, to between 759 and 827 after the latest round of operations. THAAD interceptor stocks…

When people get busy storing supplies, reading survival books, and practicing their skills, it’s easy for them to forget about their pets. But if a major disaster occurs, the last thing you want to do is stress out about finding food for Fido or treating Mr. Whisker’s fractured leg. You’ll want to make sure your pets are healthy and taken care of so you can concentrate on other things. Most people assume they can just feed their pets human food if they have to, but that’s not always true. Animals have different nutritional needs, and foods that are okay for humans could make your pets sick. And there other considerations besides food, anyway. Here are a few things you should gather for them. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! 1. Pet Food Start with at least a two-week supply of food, then build from there. How long it lasts depends on what you get. Your pet food will last a lot longer if you buy the good stuff from a pet store and avoid the imported stuff found at places like Walmart. Most dog and cat food is high in fat which…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Riley Green may be one of country music’s rising stars, but his latest on-screen career move came with a little help from a famous friend.During an appearance on “CBS Mornings” on Monday, the 37-year-old Alabama native revealed that “Yellowstone” star Luke Grimes helped open the door to his first acting role, encouraging Green to step outside his comfort zone and eventually helping land him a part on the CBS drama “Marshals.””It happened so organically because he was starting his music career and coming to Nashville a little bit. We wrote together,” said Green, who made his acting debut as Garrett — a former Navy SEAL struggling with PTSD — alongside Grimes in the “Yellowstone” spinoff.TAYLOR SHERIDAN SHOCKS ‘YELLOWSTONE’ FANS WITH NEW SPINOFF SERIES, PROVIDES VIEWERS WITH DARK RIDE “He mentioned something about maybe I should act.

The Navy announced that it is delivering live entertainment to 50 installations as part of a program to help service members and their families relax and build community.Operation Morale, Welfare and Recreation is bringing music acts to military facilities through April 2027.

KA-BAR’s latest piece is another Allen Elishewitz collaboration, the aptly-named Elishewitz Pocket Tool or EPT. This is an EDCable fixed blade with sensible cutting geometry and some unique features for a fixie, One thing we like to do here at KnifeNews HQ (in between shareholder meetings, lavish team retreats, and puttering around the world in a plane from the KN fleet) is highlight any trends in the industry – just for fun, really. And when it comes to knife world trends, the EDC fixed blade is an interesting one, because, while it hasn’t exploded in the way that, say, flipper knives did 10 years ago, it has been a very stable sector of the market, with new models rolling out, if not all the time, than at least often enough to keep fans happy. You don’t often see a pocket clip on a fixed blade EDC fixed blades vary widely in size – not unlike folders, we suppose, but because they do not, y’know, fold, their overall size is much more of a consideration. Thus, some EDC fixies are carried on the belt like a larger knife would be – but with the EPT, Elishewitz had his sights set on…

Mold, asbestos and crumbling walls are only some of the issues plaguing the U.S. military’s Pacific bases, according to a Pentagon watchdog.At Camp Courtney and Kadena and Yokota Air Bases in Japan, investigators with the Defense Department Office of Inspector General found “visible corrosion, visible mold, visible fire damage, visible cracks on the building exterior and interior, visible concrete spalling and exposed rebar, water intrusion, lead‑based paint, asbestos‑containing material and inoperable communication connections.”The findings came during an audit of Pacific Command infrastructure, during which IG investigators visited 11 PACOM bases in May 2025. They examined operations and communications infrastructure, as well as base housing.Though the report is heavily redacted, the descriptions — and the photographs — show some structures on the verge of collapse, including two photos of homes at Kadena with crumbling ceilings and living room furniture strewn with debris.“DoD officials told us that in some areas, falling debris — ranging from small fragments to large slabs — poses an ongoing risk to personnel safety,” the report states.The audit was originally aimed at assessing the state of “mission-critical systems,” such as operations and communications infrastructure. Investigators determined that housing and water infrastructure are “critical to support the Service members…
