Related stories"MCOTEA uses a mission-oriented context in operational testing to relate evaluation results to the impact on the Warfighter's ability to execute missions," the guidebook states. "Focusing on the mission context during operational test planning and execution provides a more robust operational test environment and facilitates evaluation goals." While the real-world MADIS system will be equipped not only with Stinger missiles but also with 30mm machine gun turrets, officials said the tests so far have only involved training ammo. This fall, 3rd LAAB will finally get its first 13 MADIS systems right as the weapon achieves initial operating capability, marking it ready for combat. Program managers said earlier this year that the Marine Corps wants a total of 190 MADIS and 21 L-MADIS systems.

☆ Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Chemistry’ Draws on Familiar Formulas

The track list — featuring song titles like “I Hate Love,” “My Mistake” and “Red Flag Collector” — practically screamed divorce, babe, divorce. But Clarkson, 41, said she wanted “Chemistry” to depict a full arc of a relationship, including its high points. (A remix by David Guetta kicks the song into an even higher gear.) The slower, sultry “Magic” addresses a more long-term devotion: “Magic takes time, and I’ve got my sights and they’re set on you,” she sings breathily. Clarkson delivers these vocals with her signature virtuosity, but she doesn’t quite inhabit these relatively faceless songs as fully as she does when she’s singing about love gone wrong.

☆ I was a freelancer and hated every moment of it. Here's what my experience was like and why I went back to a full-time job.

For her, full-time freelance writing was a torturous cycle of overwork and underpayment. I left a previous full-time job on February 28, 2020, right as the COVID-19 pandemic took America — and my job prospects — by surprise. I learned a lot from it, though, and I'd hope that my experience can help a different freelancer or potential freelancer on their journey. My pay rate remained dismal. It was a valuable experience that taught me a lot — but I won't miss it for a second.
