My father is the subject of this job analysis interview, and as of today he is currently 51 years old and put in 23 colorful and experienced years of service to the United States Air force. After many years of service he retired to a position as a government civil serviceman with an occupation as an Intelligence analysis at MacDill Air force base.

O*NET has done a very well defined term for what the occupation is and what it requires. Some of which are very similar to the experiences that my father describes. O*NET is database that describes many of today’s job occupations with what they may require for such an endeavor.…
This morning, an airman on Lackland Air Force Base (AFB) just outside San Antonio, Texas shot and killed his squadron commander, then killed himself. At this time, it is unclear on the reasons for the incident. But it once again brings up the question, should military personal be allowed to be armed at all times to protect themselves?

like a table instead of a mattress and a pillow made of coffee filters. Winter 2012 Getting off the plane wasn 't as hectic as the first hour in basic training. We didn’t have servants carrying our luggage to some extravagant mansion, but we didn 't have to make everything in a neat order immediately. Everything here was very bland, the tents were brown, the buildings brown, the dirt brown, the people brown. Although, it was a nice change of color compared to the gunmetal gray and blood red…
