Senior U.S. Air Force leaders are laying down the law on standards as the service aims to reinforce professionalism. In a Jan. 30 memo to security forces airmen, leaders emphasized individual responsibility, team commitment and a professional military image — to include proper greetings. “We place immense trust in you, and that trust demands the highest standards of discipline, readiness, professionalism, and personal accountability,” the statement reads.Signed by Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force David R. Wolfe and USAF Chief of Staff Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach, the memo states that professional greetings at installation entry control points and throughout public interactions must be standard to reinforce trust, authority and pride.“At one of our premier bases, Defenders greet patrons with, ‘Good Morning, Sir/Ma’am/General/Chief.

An Air Force spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the memo to Military Times on Thursday.Air Force leaders have spotlighted the importance of appearance standards and morale in the past through changes in dress and personal regulations, such as allowing morale shirts and name tags and enforcing new fitness standards.The statement stresses the…

One of the many incoming Civivi models we did not have space for during SHOT Show coverage, but that we definitely want to talk about, is the Entelodon. This flashy folder is another entry into Civivi’s growing Karambit Corral. We know what you’re asking yourself, dear reader – and fear not, we’ve already asked the question ourselves: what the heck is an entelodon? As it turns out, this is a prehistoric mammal, a nearly man-sized creature with a generally pig-like look accented with sizable, dare we say fearsome, dentition. In fact, the enteldon is sometimes called the “killer pig” for this very reason. There’s also a flipper on the Entelodon Our friends at Civivi took this ancient omnivore as inspiration for the curving, fang-like hawkbill on the Entelodon folder. It’s 2.6 inches long, which makes it a compact little piece, suitably for both the self-defense-type roles karambits are often design for, as well as an unconventional EDC if you’re down for that. The blade steel is 14C28N, a great choice for anyone interested in a no-muss, no-fuss stainless steel. The Entelodon’s skeletal handle is comprised of both aluminum and G-10 components, fashioned in complimentary colors to heighten the visual effect…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is detailing cases in which anti-ICE agitators actively helped criminal illegal immigrants evade federal arrest, including suspects accused of child rape, domestic abuse and gang-related violence.The cases point to a growing pattern of organized interference with federal immigration enforcement during recent ICE operations. “These are the monsters that agitators and sanctuary politicians are protecting,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. “We remind the public that obstructing law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime.”FROM PROTEST TO FELONY: THE LINES MINNESOTA ANTI-ICE AGITATORS MAY BE CROSSING  According to DHS, members of the anti-ICE Colorado Rapid Response Network, alerted Jose Reyes Leon-Deras, a convicted child rapist, of ICE’s presence on June 20, 2025. A Facebook post by the anti-ICE group, accused by DHS of facilitating Leon-Deras’ evasion on June 20, indicates members affiliated with the anti-ICE group used a bullhorn that day to alert potential targets of ICE. The post suggested that police left without serving any warrants, while noting that agents returned the following days as well. Per DHS, federal agents finally arrested Leon-Deras on June 27, and he was issued a final order of removal…

KYIV, Ukraine — The U.S. and Russia agreed Thursday to reestablish high-level military dialogue for the first time in more than four years in another sign of warming relations between the two countries since President Donald Trump returned to office and sought to end the war in Ukraine.High-level military communication was suspended in late 2021, as tension between Moscow and Washington rose ahead of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Trump then campaigned for a second term on promises that he would swiftly end the fighting. Many of his proposals for peace have heavily favored the Kremlin, including requiring Ukraine to cede territory to Russia.The restored communication channel “will provide a consistent military-to-military contact as the parties continue to work towards a lasting peace,” the U.S. European Command said in a statement. The agreement emerged from a meeting between senior Russian and American military officials in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.U.S. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who is the commander in Europe of both U.S. and NATO forces, was in Abu Dhabi, where talks between American, Russian and Ukrainian officials on ending the war entered a second day.Meanwhile, Moscow escalated its attacks on Ukraine’s power grid in…

For more than 150 years, the Battle of the Little Bighorn has been one of the most written about subjects in American history. Was it because Lt. Col. George Custer disobeyed orders, disregarded the warnings of his scouts, violated the principles of warfare by dividing his command and was ambushed? Was he the victim of a conspiracy? Or was he simply outsmarted and outgunned?Debate over how Custer and his five companies of the 7th Cavalry were overwhelmed in southeastern Montana Territory by a combined force of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors on June 25, 1876, has not been resolved and now, controversy is developing once again — this time over its interpretation at Montana’s Little Bighorn National Monument.Following President Donald Trump’s March 2025 “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” order, the National Park Service recently removed signage “describing broken promises to Native American tribes and references to the loss of Indigenous culture and language under boarding school systems,” according to a local Montana outlet, KTVQ.According to Trump’s executive order, the secretary of the interior has the power to “take action … to ensure that all public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties within the Department of the Interior’s jurisdiction…
