JUST IN: The U.S. military has released images showing the floating pier under construction in the Mediterranean Sea
To all the junior troops out there who had to stand in formation waiting on the commander…you’re not alone. Here’s the entirety of @thejointstaff Staff at the Pentagon waiting on the Chairman…in 86F heat, in the sun…for a photo.
The FD2030 faithful might be feeling a bit… Vindicated? Smug?

For those of you wondering, should I give CUI documents to reporters? The answer is of course because CUI is even presented at public conferences, for example. It is, again, not secret or classified. CUI is waaaaay overused.

Ryder also confirmed reports of a mortar attack “We're tracking some type of mortar attack causing minimal damage in the vicinity of the martialing yards” Ryder wouldn’t get into what was damaged.

NEW: @PentagonPresSec says that US military ships “have begun to construct the initial stages of the temporary pier and causeway” that will be used to provide aid to Gaza.

NEW: @PentagonPresSec says that the military has not yet begun construction on the aid pier intended to ship in aid to Gaza. “All the necessary vessels are within the Mediterranean region and standing by,” Ryder said.

NEW: A Navy ship that’s part of the Gaza JLOTS mission had a fire and had to turn around. However, experts like @mercoglianos tell me there is more trouble brewing on the horizon. military.com/daily-news/202…
One thing that comes up with privatization and a barracks applied tenant bill of rights is environmental controls. It feels like many legacy barracks struggle to give Soldiers any meaningful ownership in this area. It will be tough hurdle to see resolving for privatization.

If you are a commander and you are doing a command photo, be there FIRST. You'd be shocked at how quickly things move when you do that.

Unsupervised: Military Child Care Centers Slow to Report Abuse with Little Oversight buff.ly/4asnGVX
Time and time again, @brikeilarcnn advocates and highlights the work of those of us who cover the U.S. military in the print world by elevating the reporting for television. I hope she knows that she’s profoundly appreciated among us ink spillers for her reporting and support.
DOD is requesting an IG investigation after a Military.com report about child abuse at some military daycares Army spouse Kate Kuykendall’s daughter, Isabella, was physically abused at a Navy-run daycare. Her parents spent months on their own investigation to prove it
Separately, @rachelnostrant is going to be working as a fellow soon for @nytimes - it would be foolish for them not to offer her a job at the end of it. 👇🏻an example of her recent work. Also, I would like to point out that every reporter on the story is a military veteran.
Hours after we published our investigation, Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, told us that the DoD Office of the Inspector General will be investigating issues @StevenBeynon @KToropin and I raised in our reporting. Immensely proud, and hopeful for the families

@KToropin Exactly! I was a Lieutenant Colonel (O-5) when I reported my concerns - I’d served as a prosecutor and also defended the DoD’s interests in civil litigation. My report appeared to go into a black hole.
As a new mom, this story gutted me. This is every parent's nightmare. What are the consequences? Where is the accountability?
New Investigation: How children are hurt, abused & traumatized at military daycares, and how the services skirt norms, laws and weaponize ignorance to protect itself and keep parents in the dark. with @KToropin & @rachelnostrant military.com/daily-news/202…
This important story by @Militarydotcom set off alarms at the Pentagon, as it should have. So many of the challenges of military family life are mitigated by military spouse employment - which requires reliable, quality childcare that ensures kids are cared for and safe.
