3…………> Fruitful Voyage: USS Thetis 

The Coast Guard Cutter Thetis returned to Key West following a 68-day Eastern Pacific counter drug patrol in support of Operation Martillo, seizing 6,755 kilograms of cocaine and 14 pounds of marijuana during eight separate interdictions that resulted in the apprehension of 24 suspected smugglers.
While on patrol, one of the cutter’s boats discovered a large sea turtle entangled in multiple bales of suspected contraband, observing large cuts from the lines on his neck and flippers. They went to work, carefully cutting the lines wrapped around the sea turtle and then eventually freeing him.
Three “Hip, Hip, Hooray” for the brave, concerned and humane US Coast Guard sailors.

4…………>Real X-Files: Cover Up

A story told by a distinguished Royal Navy pilot Cdr. David Fravor of Windham, New Hampshire, speaks of a mysterious 2004 encounter some 20,000 feet above Earth with a 40 feet long, cigar shaped UFO.
First reported by a US navy cruiser to be at 80,000 feet of elevation, Fravor sped his F-18 across to come closer to the object, which he thought not to be an earthly creation.

5…………> Trump’s Doctrine: US Security First

“There is an unprecedented focus on homeland security and on the border. They were never mentioned in nearly as much detail and emphasis as they are now. The economic piece also gets much more attention, the insistence that economic security is national security,” an administration official told reporters on condition of anonymity. 

President Donald Trump’s national security strategy will prioritize the U.S. border and economic interests, emphasize “preserving peace through strength”, and “advancing American influence”


President’s Doctrine will label Russia and China as “revisionist powers” for those seeking a change to the global order’s status quo, starting with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Georgia, and second with China’s buildup in the South China Sea using military means to move trends in their favor.”
