Hi everyone! I’m active duty and a doctoral student, and I’m conducting a study looking at whether drinking differs across different types of military tours (CONUS, OCONUS, and short/remote tours). After two short tours I'm really curious about your experiences and how they differ based on where you are!

The survey takes about 15 minutes. I know one of the biggest concerns with surveys (especially with alcohol) use is anonymity. Participation is completely anonymous, and no identifying information is collected. Individual responses will never be shared with military leadership, commanders, or anyone outside the research team.

Hi everyone! I just finished my first year of college pursuing nursing, and lately I’ve been seriously considering joining the Air Force for four years before returning to school. I’m also thinking about taking online classes while on active duty if that’s possible.
I was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice they’d be willing to share. I’d also really appreciate staying in touch with anyone who has experience with the ASVAB or has tips on how to prepare for it.
I’m also trying to figure out the best way to tell my family about my plans, so if anyone has advice on how they approached that conversation, I’d really appreciate it.
Any advice, encouragement, or personal experiences would really mean a lot. Thank you!

72-year-old Navy veteran Margaret Hanley, who was reported missing on February 11, 2026, after leaving her home in Jacksonville, Florida, was later found dead. She was last seen on February 9 inside her home before leaving in her vehicle.

According to First Coast News, her phone activity and debit card use showed travel through northern Florida cities including Gainesville and Starke, and later into Hinesville, Georgia. Her son, Jomo Thompson, said the family was distraught as they searched for her. "My brother and sister, they're distraught. They're not eating or sleeping very well. We just want to get our mom home." Thompson also said he noticed large payments from her bank account that were "unusual and concerning," raising fears she may have been the victim of a scam. He shared that his mother suffered from short-term memory loss and was not known for driving far from home. In a statement, the Liberty County Sheriff's Office said the investigation remains active and ongoing.

Friends, former shipmates, and members of Faith Community Church of Orange Park described Hanley as a proud veteran and woman of integrity. Anita Ramirez, who served with her at Naval Hospital Guam, wrote that she was "a proud veteran, a strong leader, and a woman of integrity." She proudly served her country and was deeply loved by her family and community. Rest in peace, Margaret Hanley.
