I am a senior in the University of Texas at El Paso. I am going to graduate in May 2011 with a Bachelors in Criminal Justice and a Minor in Sociology. I am currently taking an internship with the U. S. Marshals and if everything goes well I&ll be able to go into the U. S. Marshal academy after I graduate. Lately I have been interested in becoming an officer in the Air Force. I guess I want more excitement in my life like being in a special team and travel the world for a while. I heard that it is hard to join as an officer with a non-technical degree but I also heard is not impossible either. I have a 4.0 GPA in my Major and Minor and a 3.8 GPA overall. Also I have dismissed assault charges back in 2007 when I was 17 but I had it expunge, would this affect me?

Can I become an officer in the Air Force?

A(n) ________ is a terrestrial environment defined by the growth forms of its plants. a. ecosystem b. forest c. biome d. tundra e. chaparralAs air rises over a mountain it a. expands and cools. b. compresses and cools. c. expands and heats up. d. compresses and heats up. e. compresses and stays the same temperature. What type of energy drives global climates? a. Geothermal b. Solar c. Hydro d. Wind e. All of the aboveGlobal oceanic circulation is driven by a. the temperature of the oceans. b. the salinity of the oceans. c. the turning of Earth on its axis. d. wind patterns. e. convergence zones. Warm air rises in the tropics, which is replaced by air that flows in toward the equator from the North and South. The coming together of these air masses produces the _______ zone. a. subtropical divergence b. intertropical divergence c. intertropical convergence d. supertropical convergence e. None of the aboveBoth _________ and _________ influence most biogeographic patterns. a. vicariance; biotic interchange b. dispersal; fusion of land masses c. vicariance; dispersal d. dispersal; barriers e. None of the aboveThe number of species living in a community is called a. population density. b. population number. c. species number. d. species density. e. species richness. Rain tends to be much more common in mountains than in the adjacent lowlands because a. as air travels up the mountains, it cools. Cool air holds less moisture than warm air, and the excess moisture is dropped as rain. b. as air travels up the mountains, it is compressed. The mountains squeeze the water out of the air, which is dropped as rain. c. because of their great height, mountains are often in the clouds. Precipitation is much greater in these clouds. d. as air moves down the mountains, it expands and is unable to form clouds, so no rainfall occurs. e. the rainfall is equal in both mountains and lowlands; however, because the rain has farther to travel from the clouds to the lowlands, more of it evaporates before it reaches the ground in the lowlands.

Both b and cWhy does the leeward side of a mountain remain dry? a. It never rains on the leeward side. b. There is no moisture near the leeward side. c. The leeward side is so arid that rain cannot permeate. d. As air descends the slope, it warms and picks up moisture from the environment. e. None of the aboveThe term environment, as used by ecologists, encompasses a. only land. b. biotic factors. c. abiotic factors. d. Both a and b e.

Hi everyone, I REALLY want to travel to Asia. I was planning on going to Thailand this year, but after looking at China and Japan and even Vietnam, I&m not so sure. Where is a good place to start? Also, what is a good airline? Singapore Air had an AWESOME first class/ suites. Has anyone ever flown on that particular airline? Thanks!

I love waterfalls. I also love writing... this poem is the culmination of those two things. It doesn&t really follow any rythmic pattern, nor is it anything special really. but its true to my feelings. so anyway, what do you think? like it? hate it? please let me know~ Completely at Ease ~Wait here, take in it all. This gently flowing down, Crystal clear blue waterfall. Now slowly close your eyesAs misty air finds your face, And all your troubles rush away. Much rapid water crashing down Such captivating peaceful soundSoftly playing for your ears. Warmth travels in the breeze, as sunlight flickers through tall trees. You slowly crack a smile‘Cause now your completely at ease.
