When I spoke out about the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, my inbox got flooded from service members and their families. The Guard and Reserve were built to be the force that you call up when the nation truly needs it. That is not what’s happening in the war with Iran. (Link below)

Sir, please address the pay disparity between their civilian pay and military pay. Members of the reserve/guard are not earning anything close to what they are paid in the civilian world. Not only do they miss life events , they can lose everything if they miss civilian paychecks for too long

Adam, the Navy has a long-standing serious problem of absuing their crews with overwork. Mr. Nichols, the Navy professor, he heard it from a generation of officer students. Then layer unending wartime duty on top of that. The Navy needs a rotation, yes, but it would be only a beginning.

Where's the news coverage of these service members' arrival. It used to be our news agencies covered everything. Now they're afraid of retribution & only cover certain things. Let's hear from our service members. Hegseth is in over his head. He's an egotistical pseudo macho man.

The USN as of December 2025, reported a shortage of24,000 enlistees Effectively, there has been a long term shortage in recruitment. With Trump & Hegseth using the navy as a floating "random policy enforcer* absent a functional policy or goal - the military is on eternal Operation Chaos
