6/15/2007 - ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam (AFPN) -- "Hands-on"
took on real meaning for members of the Japan Air Self Defense Force as
F-2 support fighter pilots dropped the first live weapons from the
fighter here June 13 as part of Exercise Cope North.
As there is no live range in Japan, the F-2 pilots used this
opportunity to practice with live weapons at the Farralon de Medinilla
range, 160 nautical miles northeast of Andersen.

6/14/2007 - WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Commercial
manufacturers have begun to advertise sale of the new Airman Battle
Uniform at various online Web sites. Air Force officials warn Airmen
these uniforms are not the authorized items provided by the Air Force's
official source, Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, and may not meet
the service's stringent specifications.
Many Airmen who want to get the uniform immediately may be tempted to
purchase these uniforms, potentially sacrificing the safety and quality
of the DSCP-procured uniforms scheduled to be available for purchase at
Army and Air Force Exchanges Service locations in October, said Maj.
Randall Smith of the Air Force Uniform and Recognition Branch.

inventions have already been fielded to Soldiers fighting the war on
terror.
The top picks were chosen by Soldiers from active-Army divisions and
the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command according to three
criteria: impact on Army capabilities, potential benefits outside the
Army and inventiveness.
