Karol Garrison wrote a new post, A MEAN MILITARY, TOO LEAN? February 6, 2012 8:10 AM
The chess pieces have been moving towards a “leaner and meaner” military over the past month. Since President Obama spoke of budget cuts for our military, we have seen Navy ships pull out of the Strait of Hormuz, […]
Karol Garrison wrote a new post, 1,000th Homeless Veteran Laid To Rest January 26, 2012 7:27 PM
A homeless Vietnam veteran was laid to rest January 25th at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland, Oregon. But on that day, Petty Officer 2nd Class Stevenson L. Roy seemed more at home than ever. His casket […]

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s timing couldn’t be better for a press conference. A documentary titled, “The Invisible War,” investigating sexual assault in the military, premiered this past week at the […]
Karol Garrison wrote a new post, U.S. Military and Intelligence Disagree January 15, 2012 7:59 AM
When the U.S. Military and the U.S. intelligence community are divided on the efforts in Afghanistan, it’s fair to say we have a problem. A classified document released last month, known as the National […]

The Coast Guard’s only functioning icebreaker is clearing the way for a Russian tanker carrying fuel to a remote and iced-in Alaska city.
Coast Guard Cutter HEALY began cutting through over a foot of ice early […]

The U.S. Coast Guard’s deployable specialized forces team operating from the USS Oak Hill (LSD 51) seized more than two tons of cocaine from a vessel in the Gulf of Mexico at an estimated value of $245 million. […]
Karol Garrison wrote a new post, “War Horse” delivers more Hollywood, than reality December 29, 2011 2:19 PM
Steven Spielberg’s new movie, “War Horse,” once again highlights the military of past years. Though this time around is much different than “Saving Private Ryan.” While reviews of “War Horse” have been stellar […]

Karol Garrison wrote a new post, Veterans Education Benefits In Limbo, School Choice Pending December 24, 2011 12:57 PM
More military members are attending college then ever. The job market is tougher than ever. And the educational benefits for veterans are sweeter than ever. But getting into one’s school of choice may be tricky […]
Karol Garrison commented on the post, Basketball game aboard aircraft carrier proves epic for military member December 23, 2011 4:22 PM
Thanks Anthony, it was a pretty awesome experience for everyone. I know they will be doing this event, at least, for the next three years. It would be pretty cool to see them at other installations…perhaps the White House.
Karol Garrison wrote a new post, Health and Dental for Reservists, are you Covered? December 20, 2011 8:07 PM
I’m sitting in the dentist chair after a cleaning and my annual PHA, or Periodic Health Assessment, and about to get my annual dental check-up from the dentist. It’s been a pretty smooth day thus far besides a […]
Karol Garrison wrote a new post, Oh say can you see…Can you really see it? December 19, 2011 8:13 PM
It’s not that people mean to be disrespectful, like those of a television crew recently, or at the many football games this past season. The simple truth is they don’t know. Many weren’t taught in school or at […]
Karol Garrison commented on the post, Dover Just Threw Us Away December 9, 2011 5:43 PM
At a loss as well. There were decisions made here, decisions by those in power, and others who went along with it. Sad, shame, and a river of anger over this, for me.

“We have an obligation to act in response to alarming new evidence concerning a new threat from radicalization, both within the military and as well as against military personnel and their families residing in the […]
Karol Garrison commented on the post, Does Iran Have the Missing RQ-170 American Drone? December 7, 2011 8:55 PM
Indeed a great read Regina. I had been following the incident on the news. I do remember hearing a recovery mission was underway. I don’t know the validity of this statement, but it begs the question of whether […]
Karol Garrison wrote a new post, A soldier’s best friend, in times of war and peace December 3, 2011 2:03 PM
Man’s best friend has never been more prevalent in the confines of war. Our four-legged friends have been serving the military and it’s men and women in a variety of ways. From jumping out of planes and […]
Karol Garrison wrote a new post, Tightened border making ocean a path for migrants, drugs November 30, 2011 8:25 PM
As security tightens on the California-Mexican border, more stories are surfacing of pangas on Southern California shores and islands. The small fishing vessels, known as pangas, pronounced pahng-guh, have […]
Karol Garrison commented on the post, Ron Paul’s Idea of Sending ALL Troops Home November 30, 2011 7:24 PM
Good read Randy. I’ll be on the lookout for some follow-up articles. I have often struggled with the location of our resources, not knowing the full implications for various strategies in what seems like a chess […]
