Another celestial flag has been planted in the years-long process of cementing Space Force as the U.S. military’s newest branch.
Courtesy of a chorus of uniformed personnel, the service unveiled its official song today in front of a crowd attending the 2022 Air Force Association Air, Space and Cyber Conference in Maryland’s National Harbor.

Life in the United States Navy, and the military in general, is anchored by the principles of adapting and overcoming.
Day-to-day life in uniform requires improvisational fixes to keep the mission moving, superiors happy and the Defense Department goliath chugging along.
So, what’s a Washington state-based sailor to do when plagued by the incessantly soul-crushing traffic north of Seattle? If you’re this particular Seaman Timmy, you take advantage of the I-5′s carpool lane.

Veterans could see their benefits boosted by the biggest margin in four decades after Congress on Thursday finalized plans to guarantee that veterans’ checks see the same cost-of-living boost as Social Security payouts.
Federal officials aren’t expected to announce the Social Security benefits adjustment until mid-October. Earlier this week, the nonprofit Senior Citizens League predicted a cost-of-living increase of about 8.7% for 2023, based on inflation data through the first eight months of the year.

A direct and compelling headline |
|
NCServes is the first state-wide network to coordinate care for Veterans and their families. |
|
Every Veteran and every family is different.
Therefore their care must be tailored to meet their unique needs. The only way all of these needs can be met is through a networked approach.
Ask if the organization you are working with if they are a NCServes member.
