Deployed family members, frequent moves, & changing schools are just a few of the unique challenges military children experience.
This #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild, we recognize, celebrate, & thank military children for their service & sacrifice as military family members.

I try not to be the guy who says anything publicly about high school officiating. It's a thankless job and these guys try their hardest, but the crew at Whitehall-Allendale had a tough night. This was called down by contact. Tough break in the playoffs.
Happy Arbor Day! #DYK that the U.S. Navy manages a white oak forest on a 64,000-acre naval base in Indiana to provide timber for the maintenance of USS Constitution? The Constitution became known as "Old Ironsides" after British cannonballs bounced off her thick white oak hull.
Recruits spend every day with their Drill Instructors through four phases of training.
From drill and swimming, to MCMAP and shooting weapons, each phase builds upon the last, including the final phase which is utilized to transition each individual from recruit to Marine.
Our @USMC Security Guards never fail to impress. Last weekend, Marines from Region 6 assisted @StateDeptDSS with the evac of nearly 100 Americans from Sudan &, under darkness, delivered the National Ensign to @USAMBSudan. @USMCSgtMaj and I are privileged to meet them tomorrow.
