The vehicle in the background is an Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAVP-7A1, which carries personnel). Here’s one “swimming”— this page also has background data on the vehicle. What is this 1944?

ALF Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Army lifts ban on waivers for recruits with history of some mental health issues WASHINGTON – People with a history of “self-mutilation,” bipolar disorder, depression and drug and alcohol abuse can now seek waivers to join the Army under an unannounced policy enacted in August, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY. The decision to open Army recruiting to those with mental health conditions comes as the service faces the challenging goal of recruiting 80,000 new soldiers through September 2018. To meet last year's goal of 69,000, the Army accepted more recruits who fared poorly on aptitude tests, increased the number of waivers granted for marijuana use and offered hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/11/12/army-lifts-ban-recruits-history-self-mutilation-other-mental-health-issues/853131001/ Either the economy is a lot better or what Trump might do next. Normally they would offer a big enough reenlistment bonus to keep experienced and the well trained . Maybe morale is low due to low funding for maintenance ?

B-Man Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 North Korea punishes top military leaders, South Korea says. Two key figures in the North Korean military have been punished for “impure behavior,” according to a South Korean lawmaker, a move analysts say is likely intended to help leader Kim Jong Un tighten his grip on power.
