There is a weird dynamic that exists between people who have never Served in the Military and those that have. Ok, there are more than one but let’s focus on this one. But Civilians, some of them, assume we all know each other and that the Army is all the Branches rolled into. Over the years when people find out I Served they will often say my friend/ my family member/ my mom’s step-mom’s cousins son on her step dads side was in the Army, do you know them? It happened again yesterday, a guy working for me was like “Hey you were in the Army right? Yes, why? My ex-bother in law is in the Marines his name is LCpl. Schmuckatelli, do you know him.” Side stepping the fact that I was in the Army, overlooking the fact that I left the Service almost 15 years ago, no I don’t know your mom’s step-mom’s cousins son on her step dads side. It's like if I asked my buddy who lives in Queens if he knows my buddy who lives in Rochester because they both live in New York. Who can people try to make these bridges so often? Or, and my Nevada peep’s will appreciate this, when people find out I’m from Reno and they are like “So do you go to Las Vegas on the weekends?” What? No fucker LV’s 450 freaking miles away. I don’t just swing by Sin City on the weekends. It’s 450 miles of road Warrior waste lands between here and there. On the other side of that, just tonight the family and I were at a food stand grabbing grub, the license plate frame on the car in front of us said “USS Catamount LSD-17” that was my grandpa’s ship in the Pacific during WWII. I asked the only guy who looked like he was of age for Viet Nam if that was his car and we talked about the Catamount. As he left a guy wearing an Army ball cap walked up and I thanked him for his Service we got to talking he was on FOB Falcon in Iraq from Mid-2005 through mid-2006, I was there from mid-2006 until we left in late 2006. The chances of knowing one random individual in the Service is way less likely than randomly meeting someone who was located at the same place you were at the same time and never ran into each other, apparently.

My younger brother Heshel is a business owner and father of two young children.

He also serves as the first Jewish chaplain in the United States Space Force.

This week he left his business and family behind as he fulfills his military obligations — spending two months stationed in Alabama.

I continue to be in awe of Heshel and his commitment to serve his country and his people.

Join me in saluting him!

Republican and Democratic members of Congress from Alabama submitted a draft House bill late last week that would block funding for the continued growth of U.S. Space Command's temporary headquarters in Colorado, according to documents reviewed by NBC News.

Two congressional officials said the bill would prohibit the command from spending money on constructing, leasing or modernizing facilities until the Secretary of the Air Force formally selects and publicly announces the location of its permanent headquarters, which the Trump administration said would be in Huntsville, Alabama.

NBC News reported this month that Biden administration officials have signaled privately to Defense Department leaders and lawmakers that they are considering reversing the planned move to Alabama over concerns about the state’s strict anti-abortion laws. Since the Trump administration announced in January 2021 that the headquarters would be in Huntsville, there has been a series of reviews and investigations of what has become a fraught, politically contentious process.

Air Force and defense officials also say that Space Command is on track to be fully operational by the end of this summer, months ahead of their last public statement, which said would not occur until the end of 2023.

Last week, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall met with members of Alabama's congressional delegation to discuss the location of the permanent headquarters. Several members of the delegation were surprised when Kendall disclosed that the Command is continuing to expand its facilities in Colorado. Space Command is leasing at least two buildings there, according to three defense and congressional officials. The length of the leases has not been made public.

After the members objected, Kendall said the Command's commander, Army Gen. James Dickinson, approved spending the money on leases and that he, as Air Force Secretary, has little power to stop him. Now, the members of Congress from Alabama hope to cut off Dickinson’s funding to prevent him from continuing to lease space in Colorado.

Alabama lawmakers are concerned that the Biden administration and the Air Force have slowed the process with the goal of building a fully operational headquarters in Colorado and then arguing that a move would result in a pause in Space Command operations.

Rep. Doug Lamborn, a Republican who represents Colorado Springs and has Peterson Space Force Base in his district, made that argument on Twitter last week. He contended that moving the headquarters to Alabama would prevent Space Command from reaching full operational capability for “four to six years.”

“U.S. Space Command is months away from full operational capability (FOC) at Peterson Space Force Base,” he wrote. “We cannot afford a self-imposed delay in FOC given the threats posed by China and Russia.”

Air Force Secretary Kendall also informed the Alabama lawmakers at their meeting about “fundamental changes” being made to the Command’s headquarters requirements that could affect the decision about its final location, according to a letter released Thursday by the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Mike Rogers, R-Ala.

Kendall said the changes came from Dickinson and were not directed by the Pentagon or others in the Biden administration. Kendall added that he is conducting his own investigation into the changes in the headquarters parameters and other “irregularities.” He told members of Congress that he is weeks away from finishing his review but did not commit to publicly sharing the results.

A spokesperson for the Air Force confirmed that Space Command has issued new requirements for its permanent headquarters. “The Department of the Air Force recently received additional information from the Commander, U.S. Space Command, which will require additional analysis before a final decision can be made for the permanent location of U.S. Space Command headquarters,” the spokesperson said.

Rogers, meanwhile, has launched an House Armed Services Committee investigation of the headquarters location selection process. He has directed Kendall and Dickinson to provide all documents related to any change in mission or headquarters requirements for the Command since President Joe Biden took office, all documents about leasing or construction of facilities for Space Command and all communications from the Biden administration about changes to the headquarters. Rogers asked that all the materials be produced by June 8.

“It is advisable for SPACECOM to cease and desist from any action that implicates taxpayer funds in a scheme to alter the mission or headquarters requirements of SPACECOM without civilian order of oversight,” Rogers said.
