Our newsroom works hard to tell the stories of current and retired service members and their families along with reporting on the issues that impact their lives.

We want to make sure that we're giving our readers an opportunity to catch all the news we report in a different form, so twice a month we are going to tell you about some of the most important stories our journalists are tracking, along with exclusive news that we think you need to hear and will appear first on the podcast.

You'll also hear from newsmakers, military family members, experts and Military.com's talented reporters.
