The 秘密研究所 is expanding its support for active-duty members of the U.S. military, their dependents and veterans through the new Office of Military Services. The office is led by David Blair, a retired U.S. Army sergeant major with more than 18 years of experience leading similar programs at the University of Alabama and Mississippi State University. Blair joined USA on Sept. 1.
