AIR FORCE
Overview: Known as the Army Air Corps until 1947, today’s Air Force is made up of 350,000 airmen, 208 bombers, and more than 1,500 fighter aircraft, and financed by an annual budget of $80 billion. The service has aggressive plans to augment its large contingent of aircraft with UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), space-based weapons, and a variety of freakin’ cool new fighters.
Role in the 21st century: In recent years, while the Air Force has clamored for controversial space-based weapons, it has neglected its bomber force. But as it leads America’s war on terrorism, the service is being forced to rethink its mission strategy.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
No mention of their boxing history? Unlike so many other aspects of the USAF I wouldn't be relegated to being a "groupie" and would only "sacrifice dignity" to those who'd knock me flat on my back. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
Not to mention my Dad being a former amatuer boxer, whom never got into any gold gloves tournaments, because of USAFA Cadets filling the quota for "white boys". Perhaps he'd also be able to get some payback through me. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
