Creel, assigned to the Combined Arms Command Law Enforcement Activity, Special Troops Battalion, at Fort Leavenworth, is facing a court-martial after his child was shot in the head with a rifle. “SPC Peyton Creel is charged with one specification of murder and one specification of involuntary manslaughter for the murder of his infant child on April 28, 2026, at his residence on Fort Leavenworth,” said Michelle McCaskill, the U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel’s Director of Communications, in a Monday email. “The charges are allegations and SPC Creel is presumed innocent unless proven guilty,” she added.Creel will face a court-martial in January 2027.

Jim Harbaugh famously said J.J. McCarthy was the greatest quarterback ever to play at the University of Michigan and then boasted he was the best quarterback available before the 2024 draft. John Harbaugh, Jim’s brother, apparently believes him.The New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a trade that will send McCarthy, a 2024 first-round pick, to play for John Harbaugh’s team in the Big Apple in exchange for a mid-round 2027 draft pick and a chance to salvage their season.John Harbaugh apparently thinks McCarthy has some of what his brother predicted still in him despite rough times in Minnesota. And as the Giants are 2-1, the coach is doing what he can to win.MINNESOTA VIKINGS SURPRISINGLY DEMOTE FORMER FIRST-ROUND PICK JJ MCCARTHY TO THIRD STRING But, let’s be honest.If McCarthy continues being what he’s been, this ain’t going to salvage the season for the Giants.

The Army is now “pre-piloting” apps and dashboards for its popular holistic health system, and leaders are facing tough decisions about what performance data to show soldiers and leaders to motivate them without overwhelming them or turning information into noise.Holistic Health and Fitness, or H2F, launched as a pilot in 2018, aiming to equip combat brigades with specialized equipment and staff, including dietitians, occupational therapists and athletic trainers, to boost troops’ fitness, increase injury prevention, and promote overall warfighter health. The program proved so successful that in 2024 the Army announced it planned to eventually roll H2F out to all soldiers. Part of that effort is the fielding of a “software solution” called the H2F Management System that is designed to provide soldiers, leaders and human performance staff with “data-driven insights that are typically only found within Special Operations or professional athletics,” according to an Army release from last December.But as that fielding begins, leaders must decide what data — and how much — to display, said Command Sgt. Maj. Alex Kupratty, senior enlisted leader of Army Transformation and Training Command.Speaking at an event hosted by the Military Officers Association of America this month, Kupratty said he was concerned about…

Editor’s Note: The author was provided the product for this article by Vortex Optics and Silencer Central, and creates content for both companies. The rifle was provided by Springfield Armory. As a professional photographer in the hunting and shooting industry, I spend over 100 days a year in the field — either behind a rifle or behind a lens. That time has given me a front-row seat to the small mistakes that cost hunters big opportunities. The author settles in behind a rig he has carried on elk, antelope and coyote hunts, with the scope-mounted red dot up top.

A Scenario I See Too Often Somewhere in the mountains of Utah, our guide, the hunter, and I sit quietly on the side of a ridge, glassing down into a drainage, hoping to spot a mature bull elk. A light breeze is blowing up the ridge into our faces, and the fall air is crisp. After about 20 minutes, our…
