Whatever Wednesday! (It's like every other day that I post only more....out of left field). On this Whatever Wednesday, we look at one of the coolest stories (my opinion, of course) that comes from the Flight Test Center of the World, 412th Test Wing, Edwards Air Force Base. We'll go ahead and share the answer, it's Dr. John Paul Stapp! His story is much more interesting than just the "Rocket Sled Doctor". His motives behind being strapped into the sled were selfless as were his actions on the then very bare Edwards AFB which are inspiring and the definition of a true leader. You can read more about him in the book Sonic Wind: The Story of John Paul Stapp and How a Renegade Doctor Became the Fastest Man on Earth. #RenegadeDoctor #USAF #FlightTest #RocketSledDoctor

Great work by a bipartisan group of former U.S. officials (to include Auburn University McCrary Institute for Cyber and Critical Infrastructure fellows) has released a cybersecurity roadmap for the next administration, regardless of political outcome. The report outlines key short-term actions like unifying cyber regulations, addressing workforce gaps, and fostering government-industry collaboration. Long-term goals include developing cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure and enhancing supply chain security. The plan emphasizes the need to prioritize cyber resilience, recommending strengthened support for agencies like Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and investment in the nation's cybersecurity workforce. This strategic approach aims to safeguard national security and economic stability.

The rise of machine gun conversion devices (MCDs), commonly known as “Glock switches,” is a growing threat to public safety and law enforcement across the U.S. 🚨 According to the #ATF, seizures of these devices have surged by 570% in recent years, transforming semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic weapons. Efforts to combat this danger are in full swing, with initiatives like the U.S. Department of Justice ANTI-MCD Committee and innovative tech from companies like Crime Gun Intelligence Technologies (CGIT), whose #FireFLY system helps detect #MCD usage in real-time, playing a critical role in keeping our communities safe.
