The Marine Corps launched a new mobile app that gives Marines a simplified guide for uniform and grooming standards, according to Tuesday’s administrative message. Brig. Gen. Matthew Tracy, commanding general of the service’s education command, described the Marine Corps Uniform App as giving “immediate access to the guidance they use most often.”“It is designed to make existing standards more accessible while reinforcing the professionalism and attention to detail that define our Corps,” he said.Grooming standards, there’s an app for that. (Marine Corps Uniform App)Although the service’s uniform regulations are available online, the 263-page document written in Courier typeface isn’t exactly easy to navigate. The new app simplifies that guidance into a much more accessible format.In a press release, the service said the application is intended to supplement, not replace, MCO 1020.34. “While it answers many of the most common questions regarding uniforms and grooming, Marines should continue to consult the order for comprehensive policy and detailed guidance,” the service said.The app’s home screen features six categories: male officer, female officer, male enlisted, female enlisted, male grooming and female grooming.Selecting a category opens a list of approved and required uniforms for physical training, utilities, service and dress. Each entry includes a…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz faced backlash from conservatives on social media after denouncing Tuesday’s Supreme Court ruling on transgender athletes in women’s sports by calling it “cruel.””As the Supreme Court says states can be cruel to trans kids, my message is clear: Here in Minnesota, we stand with and value our trans neighbors and youth,” Walz posted on X as the Supreme Court was ruling in favor of West Virginia and Idaho against trans athletes who sued to gain access to girls’ sports.Walz’s comment was immediately blasted on social media by conservatives, many of whom are from Minnesota.”What’s cruel is making a teenage girl, already uncomfortable in her own skin, change in a locker room next to a naked boy,” Minnesota Republican state Sen. Julia Coleman posted on X. “What’s cruel is letting our girls get the s— kicked out of them by biological males on the field and lose out on scholarships and more chances to compete. What’s cruel is putting your base above female safety and opportunities.”U.S. SENATE COMMITTEE MAKES NEW TRANS ATHLETE FINDINGS AGAINST USA HOCKEY “Once again you disregard the laws of America,” retired Minnesota State Patrol…

For weeks, Army Ranger School students put their bodies through a physical ringer, carrying heavy loads and marching far distances with little to eat and sparing sleep. But when Army researchers measured the course’s grueling toll, they found that female soldiers experienced fewer physiological changes than their male counterparts.Researchers tracked hormone levels, blood markers and body composition over the weeks-long school and the findings, published this month in the Journal of Applied Physiology, are among the first to compare how male and female soldiers respond to the Army’s premier leadership course. The new information comes over a decade after the Pentagon lifted its former ban on women in combat arms roles. In 2015, Ranger School opened to all qualified applicants and since then, over 150 female soldiers have graduated. Thousands more have served — and are serving — in frontline roles, in a change researchers say that underscores the need to better understand how prolonged military training affects women’s health. The study, first reported by Task & Purpose, found that while both men and women lost weight and body fat during the course, men experienced more widespread changes across hormone systems and blood markers. Women also experienced hormonal changes, but…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog: The Earthquakes Just Won’t Stop: The New Madrid Fault And The Cascadia Subduction Zone Both Get Shaken As The Warnings Continue How much shaking is it going to take before most of the population starts paying attention? The ground underneath our feet just keeps shaking. Nobody can deny this. As you will see below, there has been a long list of large earthquakes that have hit our planet over the past week, and this is something that I have been writing about a lot in recent days.

The earthquake struck deep beneath the Pacific Ocean and there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are taking their political playbook nationwide. One week after DSA-aligned candidates scored ballot-box victories over establishment-backed contenders in two congressional primaries in New York City that grabbed outsized national attention, the group scored another major upset in a deep-blue U.S. House district in Denver, Colorado.Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, who was first elected to Congress in 1996 and took office in 1997, was defeated by DSA-backed Melat Kiros, a first-time candidate and former attorney who is 29 years old.Kiros’ victory comes a week after Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old progressive community organizer in New York City, ousted incumbent Democratic Rep.

We take a look at the truly unique 7.62 Nagant Russian revolver cartridge, also known as 7.62x38mmR.This military revolver cartridge was adopted by Russia in 1895 and used in the Nagant and Pieper revolvers, which were both seven-shot designs, as opposed to the usual six. The Nagant design is unique in that when the hammer is cocked, the cylinder moves forward over the barrel shank to form a gas seal. The velocity gain from this arrangement is significant. No other revolver has ever used this ingenious, though complicated, system.Russian Nagant revolvers have been sold in moderate quantities in the United States but are more of a collector’s item than a practical gun. Ammunition in shooting quantities is difficult to find, but it can be made from .32-20 Winchester cases, which are very similar.Power and effectiveness are about the same as the .32 S&W Long. Most versions of the cartridge have the bullet seated completely inside the case. Velocity of the 108-grain FMJ flat-nose bullet in the Nagant revolver is about 1,100 fps, but the conventional Pieper revolver delivers only 725 fps. Bullet diameter is .295-inch. Ammunition was recently in production in Russia. Fiocchi manufactured this cartridge quite recently.7.62 Nagant Revolver…
