ground from threats in the air. With that, ADA takes great pride with all they have accomplished and will accomplish. In the early 1980’s, the upgrade of ADA was well underway. The upgrade included the missile capable of intercepting Tactical Ballistic Missiles (TBM). This upgrade happened to come at the peak of rising tensions in the Middle East. The tide of war shifted…

“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”1 This statement was made by Robert Oppenheimer after the first successful atomic bomb test at Los Alamos, New Mexico. At approximately 08:15 AM on 6 August 1945, the way in which states viewed conflict was forever changed in a dramatic fashion. On that day a US B-29 bomber dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, killing around 80,000 people instantly. Only three days later, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, causing the…

supervision tactic that enflamed the tensions surrounding the Cuban Missile crisis that occurred in 1962. Both sides appeared to be using measured military and political tactics to respond to nuclear threats, which define the Soviet response to American ballistic missiles being placed near its borders in Turkey; just as the Soviets now wanted to place a missile arsenal right of the coast of the United states. Therefore, Cuba was an important geographical asset that allowed Khrushchev to make…

My reaction to this weeks assignment “Metallic Sights: Design and Application” is one of the areas of gunsmithing I am still timid in. When I first learned shooting with iron sights was when I entered the US Army on the M16A2. I was so scared having to zero my own rifle; I did not understand three clicks left two clicks down. Then having to regroup until the grouping was in a certain inch circle. It took me a long time to grasp the concept of zeroing, but eventually I got it. I hope with my…

NIBIN, IAFIS, and CODIS are all databases used to identify evidence after a crime. NIBIN stands for national integrated ballistic information network. NIBIN is “a national database of digital images of spent bullets and cartridge cases that were found at crime scenes or test fired from confiscated weapons” (“Law Enforcement,” n.d.). NIBIN was created in 1999. Before this organization firearm examiners would compare each piece of evidence themselves. Since its establishment NIBIN has…

The revolutionary breakthrough of the fission of atoms created a new field of science that changed the world. In 1945, the splitting of an atom was accomplished when scientist, of the Manhattan Project, tested the first atomic bomb. A few months after the first bomb was tested, America was ready for war. The American Air Force began their journey to Japan where they dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and, a few days later, on Nagasaki. The weapon caused a widespread worry about the bombs…

In the 1990s, there were two presidents; George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. George H. W. Bush was elected once and Bill Clinton was elected twice but was later impeached. There were also two vice presidents in that decade; Al Gore and Dan Quayle. Ten years ago, Al Gore claimed that the Earth would be in “a true planetary emergency”, but the Earth is doing just fine today. James Addison Baker, Lawrence Sidney Eagleburger, Warren Minor Christopher, and Madeleine Korbel Albright all served as…

Violent Winds A ballistic missile of debris and wind speeds through the fields on a hail of destruction. A earthquake can swallow the world, and acid rain can strip nature of its beauty. The high swirling wind in a large rain cloud is a tornado. In order for one to comprehend and get ready for a tornado, it is essential to know how a tornado shapes, where a tornado occurs, and how one can stay before and during a tornado. To begin with, tornadoes can form in places like the Great Plains also…

investigations. This evidence, which is examined both physically and chemically, can include dangerous substances, illegal drugs, blood, semen, and other bodily fluids. Some criminalists specialize in one particular area of forensic science such as ballistics, fingerprinting, handwriting, trace evidence, toxicology, DNA, or biochemistry. Criminalists work at crime scenes and in laboratories. They often work irregular hours and might be called upon to give expert testimony in criminal trials.…
