Anyone have any backup ideas/plans for me because it appears that my Air Force career goal isn't working out... as in they might not even bother to send me to MEPs because of an issue. Thanks!

Air Force Lug Analysis (section 9 here and summarized here) seems to be the best generalized method for comprehensive lug analysis. However, it relies on charts developed by the USAF in the late sixties. Every source I've found on the method uses those same images. I'm trying to make an...

Hello all. I am new to the forums and this is my first post. So, I am currently a junior double majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Physics. My college has a 5 year program meaning I have another 2 years after the upcoming spring semester. I have grown an interest in joining the Air Force...

My friend in the air force was complaining that the military Osprey was bulky, weak, and could be spotted from miles away. I have an idea that uses an electro-magnetic rotated turbine instead of the large and noisy propellers. it would include the encasement of the turbine to make the vehicle...

Hello all, I am currently enlisted in the Air Force (about to ship out to basic in a month) and needed to ask a question about studying physics. I would ask my recruiter but all he would do is blow smoke up my *** and sugar coat it all so I thought I'd make a post here. My question is how...

It seems GWB has given green signal to US Air Force to develop space weapons. Is it really true and is it going to trigger an arms race. What are the other countries doing? I don't think UN would be of much help! :smile:

Does anyone have any opinions on the quality of a post graduate degree obtained form the Air Force Institute of Technology? I will be honest and say that it is unlikely that I will be joining the Air Force, but at the same time it has always been in the back of my mind as something I'd like to...
