From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An air force, also known in some countries as an air army or air corps, is in the broadest sense, the national military organization that primarily conducts aerial warfare. More specifically, it is the branch of a nation's armed services that is responsible for aerial warfare as distinct from an army, navy or other branch. Typically, air forces are responsible for gaining control of the air, carrying out strategic-bombing missions and providing support to surface forces. The term "air force" may also refer to a tactical air force or numbered air force, which is an operational formation within a national air force. Air forces typically consist of a combination of fighters, bombers, helicopters, transport planes and other aircraft. Many air forces are also responsible for operations of military space, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), and communications equipment. Some air forces may command and control other air-defence assets such as antiaircraft artillery, surface-to-air missiles, or anti-ballistic missile warning networks and defensive systems. As an organization, the air forces have "ground support" to support the pilots and aircrew. Similar to any civilian organization, there are supporting employees who assist and/or support other employees. Pilots cannot fly the aircraft without the assistance of other personnel such as engineers, loadmasters, fuels, and mechanics, and additional support-oriented career field. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Simon D - Tue Apr 14 01:04:12 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. First, to qualify my answer: I am a graduate of USAFA and worked at USNA shortly after commissioning (I cross-commissioned to the Navy because I could not fly). I also applied and lived near West Point and Kings Point growing up so I saw them both close up repeatedly. I have never been to the Coast Guard Academy and was not interested in attending. I would rate the academies as such: 1. USAFA better well-rounded education. All courses are 3-credits, you do not get additional credit hours for classes with labs so you have to complete a heavier course load to graduate. They also have a wider variety of majors than the others. The athletic facilities are far superior than the other academies and Colorado has some great scenery. … [cont.] Answered by FRC - Fri Apr 17 02:30:13 2009 Does the Air Force have its own school teachers employed by the air force?
Q. I want to be a school teacher more than anything. I also have always wanted to be an air force officer because of the stability, travel, pay, and benefits. Can I get in the air force as a school teacher. I thought maybe they might have their own teachers for non english speaking countries.
