Awards and decorations of the United States Air Force

From the U.S. Air Force to Customs and Border Patrol to NASA, the possibilities for this platform are far-reaching and they are still developing to this day. As we progress into the future I am confident the MQ-9 Reaper will not only further solidify and justify its position…

I’ve had many positive experiences in my life, but my experience joining the Air Force and completing Basic Training had the greatest impact. I did not take high school seriously, because I signed to join the Air Force in my junior year of high school. Since I knew where I was going, I did not feel the need to apply myself in all my classes. I did just enough to graduate high school. Then September came, the month I left to Basic Military Training. During this time, I was broken down from the…

There are many different attributes and experiences Cadets bring to the USAFA. What individualizes me are my attributes which are: foresight, decisiveness, approach, commitment, common vision,integrity, and persistence. All of these things I use to help my team get the mission accomplished. First of all, foresight, or seeing beyond the horizon, to me means to prepare now with the luxury of time that might not be available later. My Flight Instructor, Col Glen Whicker (USAF Ret.) pounded into my…

The rising sun shone hot on the ranks of the Civil Air Patrol cadet and staff members of the Ohio Wing 2017 Encampment. Though the sticky July morning foreboded a sweltering and humid day, my heart beat rapidly with excitement as we saluted the rising American Flag. As Echo Flight Sergeant, I was directly in charge of the training and accountability of thirteen “basic” cadets. The cadet command staff interviewed and selected all other staff members in January. For the next six months, we trained…

The AFOSI website is organized just like any other official Air Force website. There are tabs at the top for Photos, New, Library, Units, Questions, and such. There is also a latest new box with articles relating to Air Force topics such as Happy 68th Birthday Air Force and National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. There is a box with just AFOSI Highlights that have to deal with specifically AFOSI like joining AFOSI and an anonymous tip line. The tip line brings you to a form you can fill out with…

submitted its report to President Coolidge regarding the possibility and predicted outcome of bolstering the Air Service. Unfortunately, their findings did not meet Mitchell’s expectations, as the report rejected the ideas of a department of defense and a separate air force. The only victory for Mitchell and his supporters was that the Air Service would be renamed as the United States Army Air Corps, thereby strengthening the conception of military aviation as an offensive, striking arm rather…

five years, is a pilot in the air force. I have thought really hard about this and I think that this career would best fit my personality type. It’s also something I would enjoy and I find very interesting. I’ve been thinking about this career choice for awhile now but since I’ve had time to actually sit down and do research thoroughly about all the different options, I have finally decided what I want to work towards. When I was at work one day, a lady in the air force came in. I started to…
