When I was a kid, my parents gifted me Pet Sounds as my first CD. Growing up next to the Jersey Shore, I always felt a connection to Brian Wilson and his music. Even today, whenever I hear “God Only Knows” or “Sloop John B,” I’m transported back to my childhood bedroom. Rest in peace, #BrianWilson.

@paulmcleary.bsky.social points out the shift of Greenland to the USNORTHCOM AOR. The policy being rewritten, the UCP, has major implications for resourcing. With the border and Golden Dome, USNORTHCOM is the primary focus for the DoD. This development would have been unimaginable just a decade ago.
