Military - December 2007

My finance just found out he will be sent to Korea for his first duty station. I personally took it really rough, but he doesnt know that because Ive hid my reaction for the time being. How should this be dealt with? How long will he be expected to stay over there? I really know nothing of Korea and I am worried for our relationship and him. I would just like to know how this whole Korea thing works. If it is like a Middle East tour (12-18 months) or more. And what is to be expected when he is there....
Thanks for any advice.
Please keep it as positive as possible.

I happen to love a granola cereal made by Nature's Path called "Organic Hemp Plus Granola." My husband says he won't touch it because hemp is related to marijuana and he served 20 years in the Navy, and claims military people wouldn't eat my cereal. Is this true??

I mean my cereal is obviously NOT marijuana. It's legal and sold in major stores. Would you avoid my cereal too??

The KC-135 entered the Air Force inventory in the 1950's. The KC-10, an adaptation of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 airliner, joined the inventory in the late 1970's.

Both are aging. What should be the replacement airframe?

One current proposal is to modify the Boeing 767 airliner. I don't know if it has ever been proposed formally, but it would seem another good candidate could be the C-17 Globemaster III airlifter--possibly as a convertable tanker/airlifter.

What would you suggest? Modified 747s? Maybe a 777 mod? Even a 787 mod? How about a bus--an Airbus, that is? Or maybe a redesigned Lockheed C-5?

Or should it be an all-new airframe? With the newest Air Force tanker now nearly 30 years old, it is safe to say this tanker will be around for a while. What should it be?

Save the free world. Suggest the next major gas passer.

I really want apply in the future, but I just want know what my likelihood of getting in is.

I'm a sophomore in high school and I have a 3.7 GPA currently (I'm taking several AP classes and doing well in all of them)... though I'm in the regular honors level math (opposed to a full level ahead), will that hurt me?

I am in the civil air patrol (and by the time i apply it would've been for 2 1/2 years). I am a synchronized skater, and i play lacrosse. I'm currently working on my gold award for girl scouts, and volunteer with my church.

And what do you need to do to get the congressional appointment?

Any tips will help! Am I on the right track?

I am very interested in pursuing Army Jag. I think I have a good shot (order of the coif and clerkship), but a couple things in my past make me worry. The first is a DUI when I was 20, but that's not too big a deal. The real concern is drug use. I've tried a bunch. I've never had what I consider a problem - I just did it for fun when it was around. I started late in college, continued in law school, and (very) rarely afterwards. I can honestly say giving it up is no problem - I essentially have, and don't miss it.

So, what are my odds of getting shot down? Should I wait a couple more years so when I apply I can say its been X number of years 100% clean?

'Soldiers from UK who suffered appalling injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan were verbally abused as they swam in a public swimming pool. During a weekly rehabilitation class at a council leisure centre, 15 servicemen – including several who have lost limbs or suffered severe burns – were heckled and jeered by members of the public.'

Then the next thihg that came to my mind was how could i pay for all of this. Then it hit me, im in The student counsel at my elementry school and could purpose a fundraiser to raise money for this cause . I need your help with ideas of what the soldiers might need, want, and DESERVE . Also ideas that might make students want to help. Even if you do not support the war you can still support our troops in need.So please drop me some ideas.

my husband is in the airforce, and was asked to be in the honor guard today. He has to give his answer by tomorrow, and we dont really no too much about it. I do know that he will not get deployed for one whole year, and I know that it looks great on your record...especially if you are trying for senior airman below the zone!

So, should he do it?
