Navy moves to emphasize technical job skills in enlisted promotions
The Navy is planning a major change in how enlisted sailors are evaluated for promotion, directing leaders to consider how good a sailor is at technical job skills over their community work or involvement in organizations like the Chief Petty Officer Mess.To move up in the ranks, sailors are currently assessed not only by their job skills, but also for volunteer work and for “collateral duties” outside their primary rate. Membership in the First Class or Chief Petty Officer Mess is a
The Air Force met its annual recruiting goal 5 months early
The Air Force has met its annual goal for signing up new recruits five months ahead of schedule, service officials said. As of this week, officials said, recruiters had already landed commitments from more than 32,750 recruits, the service’s target for the full 2026 fiscal year, which runs until Sept. 30.In hitting those numbers, the service brought in more recruits than last year without reducing its annual goals, as it did in 2025.The Space Force, which falls under the Department of the
Show HN: Plural – Explore multiple approaches with Claude Code simultaneously
Howdy HN,I built Plural, a TUI for running parallel Claude Code sessions. Each session lives in its own git worktree and branch and can be forked and merged at will.The problem: When Claude suggests "you could use Redis or PostgreSQL for this," you have to pick one and wait to see if you like the approach. If you don't, you backtrack, waste context, and try again. Sequential exploration is slow.The solution: Fork the session. Plural creates a child session for each approach, inher
Show HN: Blackjack with AI Powered Dealers
the new wave of online gambling caused me to think about the aspects of these games that people enjoy. a lot of it is the thrill of gambling itself of course. but a particular game i've seen people play stood out to me: livestreamed "real" blackjack tables. human dealers are employed somewhere not in the US to deal you cards and react to your play / comments. this is ~fine but it makes the game slower and the UI clunky. I'm also not sure what the ethics there are. I figu
Should veterans get a ‘second look’ at long prison sentences after military service?
Veterans’ advocates are pressing to allow judges and courts to consider a veteran’s military service when giving a “second look” to excessively long prison sentences. So-called second look reductions of long prison sentences are now allowed in federal courts and 25 states, but veterans groups say Congress needs to ensure that those reviews take military service into account.“We’re facing the consequences of Iraq and Afghanistan, and even though we’re a few years away from those, stil
Congress pushes Army leaders for answers on ouster of top general
For two days in a row, Army leaders have been questioned by lawmakers about why Gen. Randy George, the service’s former chief of staff, was forced to retire earlier this month.CBS News first reported on April 2 that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had asked George to step down as the service’s top officer. A Defense Department official confirmed the CBS report to Task & Purpose.More than a dozen generals and admirals have been fired, and others have retired early since Hegseth became defense
Show HN: Remy, an AI agent that compiles annotated Markdown into full-stack apps
Hi HN! Sean from MindStudio here. I wanted to share something we've been working on that I think introduces some new ideas into the "AI coding agent" space.Remy is an AI agent that builds full-stack TypeScript apps from a spec written in a new flavor of annotated markdown. The spec has two layers: prose describing what the app does, and annotations that carry the technical precision (data types, edge cases, validation rules, code snippets). The agent then "compiles" this
Show HN: Mercury – No-code orchestration for human and agent teams
Hey HN, I'm Naveen, one of three co-founders building Mercury (mercury.build).We spent the last year in deploying AI agents for teams in large enterprises. The agents themselves worked fine. The problem was managing them. You've got Claude Code in a terminal, a research agent in a browser tab, a Slack bot somewhere else, a scheduling assistant in yet another window. It's chaotic. There's no single place to see what's running, who's doing what, or how things connect.
Navy can fire warning shots to enforce blockade of Iran, top general says
Should a vessel attempt to run the U.S. military’s current blockade of Iranian ports, Navy sailors are authorized to fire warning shots if necessary, said Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.“Any ship that would cross the blockade would result in our sailors executing pre-planned tactics designedto bring the force to that ship — if need be, board the ship and take her over,” Caine said during a Thursday Pentagon news briefing. “And that includes a series of esca
Is the US military’s most important island in the Pacific ready for war?
As America’s westernmost territory, the island of Guam is the logistical heart of any large-scale military build-up in the western Pacific. It has long runways, a deepwater port, huge fuel storage and weapons depots, and it’s about 2,000 miles closer to China than it is to Hawaii. The island is also U.S. soil, so the military does not need permission from a foreign government to operate there.Those factors make Guam a prime target for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) if a conflict were to brea
