  • In a video posted to X, Hegseth said he is signing a memo that will direct base commanders to allow requests for troops to carry privately owned firearms “with the presumption that it is necessary for personal protection.”

    He said any denial of a service member’s request must be explained in detail and in writing.

    My interpretation is that they will be allowed to open carry personal weapons anywhere on base. Any denial of any member’s request will likely be appealable and a higher authority at the DoD will ensure that the “right people” get to open carry.

    I could not find the actual memo.




















  • Once I asked IT if they could stop Skype (depreciated) from automatically being pinned to the taskbar upon login. Through a series of events they uninstalled the Microsoft Office Suite and attempts to reinstall it were met with error messages for 3 days. Eventually they reinstalled Office and closed the ticken, but Skype was still getting pinned.

    I live in fear of that Skype shortcut.
