Air force

When I think of expectations, I would not ask anyone to do something that I would not be willing to do myself. I believe that we must have a strong work ethic to achieve goals in life, but we must keep our priorities in line. I don’t expect everyone to work sixty hours a week, but I expect that member will do their part to accomplish the mission. As the mission requires, I will be there beside my members preforming the job. Another expectation of the people is accountability for their work…

peers, supervision, my own life, as well as 1 or more USAF Aircraft along with the billions of dollar in research and test equipment. 2. I would first like to acknowledge that it is I, and I alone, that am responsible for my failure to adhere to Air Force standards. As a Senior Airmen, this is solely my fault. I have failed my pilots, my flight members and my Flight Chief. I have not been the best Airman I know I can be on this installation and in doing so have hindered the readiness of my…

When I look back at my career in the United States Air Force, I want to not only be proud of myself personally and professionally, but also as a leader and the influence I had on others. I want to know that I touched people’s lives and I made a difference in them. I want one person to feel or say Technical Sergeant Wheeler was one of the best leaders I have met and I will always remember how she impacted my life. However, I know in order to reach this aspiration I will need a plan to improve…

In 2004, six years after graduating High School, I knew I needed to do more with my life than I was, so I joined the Air Force. This is a very basic way to describe it. I realized I was capable of more in my life; I recognized that I couldn’t get there working where I was; I identified that the military had careers that interested me, and I narrowed the jobs down to the Air Force. This is not to say I did it all for only that reason. I also had considered the military before, as my father and…

Members of the Air Force Security Forces are tasked with providing force protection duties, guarding weapons, air bases and Air Force personnel from possible dangers.

“It may be said that Douhet was the theorist of the air power, Mitchell the publicist and catalytic agent, and Trenchard the organizational genius.” -Harry H. Ransom. Air power generates a new revolution in thought, making way for air power theorist like Giulio Douhet, Hugh Trenchard, and Billy Mitchell, and they established the basics of strategic, operational, and tactical employment that will generate influences until our time. The airpower theorists over emphasized the long range…

prophecies that air power alone could win a war; “the bomber will always get through” even without support of fighter escort; and that the bomber would be able to attack adversaries’ vital centers with high altitude precision bombing turned out to be false. Despite of excessive aerial bombing of vital centers, cities and industrial facilities,…

The Development: The American Air Force was created as a result of Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii, being bombed by the Japanese on December 7, 1941. Pearl Harbor held numerous amounts of American boats which had approximately 350 planes on them, in case they needed to be deployed from the sea rather than the land. Japan decided to bomb America 's defense force because they wanted to take over the pacific, and in order to do that they had to weaken America 's defense force. When the Japanese destroyed a…

beating heart of the United States Air Force,” is simply because much like the heart without it the life blood would not be able to pump in order for the body to function as needed. Now the life blood of the Air Force is our ability to Fly, Fight, and Win, but that is the big Air Force answer. The life blood of the squadron is morale, and bad morale is like leukemia. Firsthand experience has shown what good morale can do in places deemed “worst bases in the Air Force.” From the outside looking…

of the aircraft would change the nature of war forever, “it [made it] possible to go far behind the fortified lines of defense without first breaking through them”. He made it very clear in his book The Command of the air that he strongly believed that having a powerful air force would ultimately win you the war, as airstrikes were indefensible. Herman Göring, the leader of the German Luftwaffe strongly used Douhet’s theories in his planning of the airstrikes which went along with the Nazi…
