The Army and other service branches are
abandoning recruiting efforts at a
prestigious Black engineering event this
week, turning down access to a key pool
of highly qualified potential applicants
amid President Donald Trump's purge of
diversity initiatives in the military.

Until this week, Army Recruiting Command
had a long-standing public partnership
with the Black Engineer of the Year Awards,
or BEYA, an annual conference that draws
students, academics and professionals in
science, technology, engineering and math,
also known as STEM.

The event, which takes place in Baltimore,
has historically been a key venue for the
Pentagon to recruit talent, including
awarding Reserve Officers' Training Corps
scholarships and pitching military service
to rising engineers. Past BEYA events have
included the Army chief of staff and the
defense secretary.

"This is one of the most talent-dense events
we do," one Army recruiter told Military.com
on the condition that their name not be used.
"Our footprint there has always been
significant. We need the talent."

The services cited concerns that
participation in the predominantly Black event
could run afoul of Trump's orders and the
Pentagon's intensifying push to erase
diversity efforts in the military, according
to multiple sources familiar with the decision.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Jan. 31
ordered that Black History Month, Women's
History Month and others were officially
"dead" and that the military would no longer
mark them.

Trump sez they don't need black people and that white men should be more
than willing to lay down their lives over his whims and orders. Just
remember that the President has said many times that servicemen wounded or
killed in combats are LUSERS and nobody likes LUSERS!

An Aldershot man with ties to the Farnham and Bordon areas has been charged with 11 offences including rape.

Darren Hendry, 34, of Denmark Street, Aldershot, has been charged with two counts of rape, attempted rape and three counts of assaulting a person thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm.

He was also charged with criminal damage, harassment without violence, two counts of intentional strangulation and possessing an imitation firearm.

It comes after officers received reports that a woman was raped in Fleet and Brighton in October and November last year.

Mr Hendry has previously lived in Farnham and Bordon.

Officers also received a report that the same woman was assaulted on three separate occasions in Fleet and Worthing between October and December.

The other alleged offences are said to have taken place in Fleet between August and December.

Hendry appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates Court on Wednesday, January 17 and was remanded into custody.

He is next due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Wednesday, February 14.

What we can and can't report

In UK law, after someone is charged with a criminal offence the media is only permitted to publish a defendant's name, address, age and the charges against them, as well as the detail of any court proceedings except those covered under reporting restrictions.

This is to avoid prejudicing any future legal proceedings.
