SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch
Ok, so SpaceXandElon Musk launched Tesla Roadster into space. What a time to be alive, but imagine what can happen years into the future. Here’s my little tribute to that successful Falcon Heavy demo flight :)

Wright Brothers First Flight (1903)
Seen here is an 1870 survey of the Lazaretto Point Light Station, which once located in Baltimore Harbor. The light station got its name from the smallpox quarantine hospital that was originally located at the site. The light was constructed in 1831 and by 1863 a depot was established around the tower in order to facilitate the construction and resupply the other lighthouses throughout the bay. Many sections of various lighthouses were manufactured at the depot in preparation for their erection elsewhere. When iron began to be mined at the location, many industrial sites were established, causing people to complain about the light being obscured. In 1914 the light was electrified, however it continued to become difficult to see. The depot diminished in use and by 1958 the depot was shut down and replaced by the Rukert Marine Terminal berth. A replica of the original tower was erected in 1985 by the Rukert Terminal Corporation in honor of Norman Rukert, Sr. The accurate construction of the tower was made possible by original blueprints found in the National Archives.

A boxed Devil Dog:
Off the shores of Guam, Coast Guardsmen and Marines handle a “Devil Dog” with care as they transfer the war dog from a Coast Guard landing barge to an LVT. He is boxed because he is trained for battle and apt to go after any and all but his own handler. 1944

I need help, y’all…
I’m doing a little research for a story idea.
I need information about the five U.S. military branches (how someone joins, different jobs one may have, basic operations, compare/contrast with other branches, etc.)
But every site I’ve found has been nothing but propaganda stating which branch I should join and how to do so!
It’s gotten so bad, ads on my other apps have been nothing but recruiters!
All I want is straight information, without the sugar coating.
Anyone can help?
