From the military services and around the DoD, here’s your Morning SITREP for Tuesday, May 17, 2016.
- For one Army family, joining the family business takes on a whole new meaning.
- The Air Force chief of staff published his 2016 professional reading list May 13.
- This week is National Police Week and the Air Force is honoring some of their MP’s accordingly.
- Marines and robots go together like peanut butter and jelly.
- As we said yesterday, Top Gun celebrated it’s 30th anniversary. Here’s a story about the real Top Gun and some things you may not have known about the program.
- Did you know you can adopt a soldiers grave? This Dutchman did, and now he is going far beyond just adopting the grave, by honoring a World War II vet.
- Don’t forget, the Sea, Air and Space Expo is happening today and tomorrow. Follow along all the amazing new technology here and @ArmedwScience on Twitter.
