2025 March Military Industrial Complex Madness Begins

Fill Out Your Bracket! First Round Voting Starts Noon Eastern TODAY!

Finally, something no one is asking for, wants, or has been waiting for has arrived!

The first, and maybe only, March M.I.L. Madness is here!

There are four divisions:

1. Wonk Houses

2. Terminally Online

3. Ink Stained Fodder

4. Daddy Warbucks

Here is the bracket.

Don’t argue the selection. It was all done by me, as were the rankings. Apologies to individuals or organizations who probably should have been included but were not.

The First Round voting begins today at noon on my X feed in this order:

• Wonk Houses: noon

• Ink Stained Fodder: 1400 Eastern

• Terminally Online: 1600 Eastern

• Daddy Warbucks: 1800 Eastern

Rules are simple:

• Voting will be good for 24 hours.

• Winners will advance to the next round.

• Second Round on 22 MAR.

• Sweet 16 on 27 MAR.

• Elite 8 on 29 MAR.

• Final Four on 08 APR.

• Championship on 07 APR.

How do you, personally, win?

Simple. Right click and print out the bracket above, write in your choices, take a clear pic of it and send it to me on Substack or email by 0900 Eastern on Thursday.

The winner or winners who correctly identify the National Champion via their submission in the above paragraph will get a complimentary 1 year paid subscription to this Substack right here…giving you access to the paid-subscriber only “UNCLAS Read Board Podcast”, extra special attention on comments, general all around bragging rights, perhaps a guest spot on the UNCLAS Read Board Podcast, etc.

This is the first year I am doing this. If it is well received, we’ll do it again next year…modified based on feedback.
