- Serving the Naval Air Station, Patuxent River
‘‘I want to serve in the military, and the best way to do that is to move up the ranks,” said AW2 Cory Halt. ‘‘The best way for me to move up the ranks and do the job I want to do is to join the Army.”
Remember: Be patient and courteous to the sentries. Day in and day out, no matter what the weather — snow, rain, windy, cold, hot — these Pax Pros provide a very important service. They keep Pax River service members, their families and employees safe, and they do an outstanding job.
Looking for a needle in a haystack is known to be challenging even when you’re in the haystack looking for it. Finding fine wires down to 22 gauge (0.0254 inch diameter) used in some Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) from a couple of hundred feet high flying at 30-plus knots is extremely challenging.
An auxiliary unit of the U.S. Air Force, the Civil Air Patrol was created six days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor began America’s entry into World War II. During the war the CAP was seen as a way to use the United States’ civil aviation resources to aid the war effort and, as such, CAP pilots were credited with sighting 173 enemy submarines and sinking two German U-boats.
How do members of the Civil Air Patrol celebrate their organizations 66th anniversary? By conducting a day-long training evolution. That is exactly what occurred when the St. Mary’s Composite Squadron hosted a training day on a recent Saturday at the St. Mary’s County Regional Airport.
An 18-month, $15 million, cooperative agreement between the United States and Australia has bolstered the pre-system development and demonstration processes for the Navy’s Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System program.

ï Super Bowl Sunday is one of the year’s most dangerous days on the nation’s roadways due to impaired driving.
RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia is among those states ranked zero because family child care regulations do not apply to home providers caring for five or fewer children. Virginia's regulations state that child care home providers must seek licensure if they plan to care for more than five children, and the provider's own children are exempt from the licensing count. This study refused to score Virginia based solely upon these policies and issued a ranking of zero. In total, 15 states received zero points because regulations either fail to regulate small family homes or they do not require home inspections prior to issuing a license.
VIENNA, Va. – “A failing mind, not body, is the biggest reason people need long-term care today,“ said Penny Gilbert, Vienna-based partner of LTC Financial Partners, the nation's most experienced long term care insurance agency. “That shouldn't be, so we're going to give our clients information to help stay mentally fit.“ To that end, the company is offering a free guidebook and Web links to helpful resources.

When your military spouse retires, suddenly your life changes. There are no more deployments, no more permanent changes of station (PCS), no more pressing uniforms, no more baking cookies for Sailors or Marines. All the things you have known for 20 to 30 years have changed. You wonder what you are supposed to do now.
FORT LEE, Va. – Hot dogs are as American as apple pie. And even though they're closely tied to baseball, there is no reason they can't take center stage when you and fellow football fans gather to cheer your team in the Super Bowl.
