If someone receives a DD 214 does that mean that they are no longer enlisted in the UASF?

Not necessarily. We sometimes receive DD 214's after finishing a tech school or for orders over 30 days.

What is pre bid meeting?
At a set date that is specified in the bidding documents, the regulator or Universal Access and Service Fund (UASF) department typically holds a pre-bid meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to allow potential bidders to ask questions and request clarifications. It should also be seen as a last chance to make some modifications to the UAS project and bidding documents, based on suggestions and comments from potential bidders. These changes are likely to be minimal, as the industry had the opportunity to make comments and suggestions during the earlier public consultation process. The pre-bid meeting can be open to all interested parties, or it can be restricted to companies that purchased the bidding documents. Both options are fine, and deciding on either is more dependent on logistical issues such as location and meeting room size. However, typically all participants are required to register (i.e., provide their name, position, company and contact details). This enables the regulator later to distribute the pre-bid meeting minutes. Attendance at the pre-bid meeting is typically not mandatory. However, pre-bid meeting minutes which might include amendments to the bidding documents (either to clarify or modify based on feedback) are distributed to all entities that purchased the bidding documents as well as all additional entities that were represented at the pre-bid meeting. It is helpful to start the discussion at the pre-bid meeting through a brief introductory presentation outlining the main features of the UAS project and the key elements of the bidding process and bidding requirements. The pre-bid meeting should be held early, e.g., two to three weeks after bid document availability. This allows potential bidders time to thoroughly review the bidding documents and gives them enough time to prepare the proposal once they have received important clarifications, if applicable. The bidding process should also allow for written requests for clarification or comments, but this should be limited to a certain deadline similar to the process involved in the pre-bid meeting. Answers to written requests are published jointly with the pre-bid meeting minutes, or a separate document is issued and distributed to all potential bidders. Typically the written questions are treated anonymously. The bidding documents should also include a date at which operators are required to register their intent to participate in the bid or to decline. The written clarifications of the questions can include a reminder of this deadline. While this cannot be legally binding, it is helpful for the regulator to see early on, if there is sufficient interest among operators to bid.
What is the name of the secret US Air Force program that investigates UFOs are called?
The former US Airforce program for the investigation of UFO and Unexplained Phenomena was called Project Blue Book and later for a short time Project Grudge. Neither program is currently in operation and the official UASF stance on UFO and related phenomena is found in the following statement as found in USAF Fact Sheet 95-03: From 1947 to 1969, the Air Force investigated Unidentified Flying Objects under Project Blue Book. The project, headquartered at Wright-Paterson Air Forse Base, Ohio, was terminated 17 December 1969. Of a total of 12,618 sightings reported to Project Blue Book, 701 remained 'unidentified.'The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of Colorado entitled, Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects: a review of the University of Colorado's report by the National Academy of Sciences, previous UFO studies and Air Force experience investigating UFO reports during 1940 to 1969. As a result of these investigations, studies and experience gained from investigating UFO reports since 1948, the conclusions of Project Blue Book were: # No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security. # There has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present day scientific knowledge. # There has been no evidence indicating the sightings categorized as "unidentified" are extraterrestrial vehicles. With the termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force regulation establishing and controlling the program for investigating and analyzing UFOs was rescinded. Documentation regarding the former Blue Book investigation was permanently transferred to the Modern Military Branch, National Archives and Records Service, and is available for public review and analysis. Since the termination of Project Blue Book, nothing has occurred that would support a resumption of UFO investigations by the Air Force. There are a number of universities and professional scientific organizations that have considered UFO phenomena during periodic meetings and seminars. A list of private organizations interested in aerial phenomena may be found in "Encyclopaedia of Associations", published by Gale Research. Interest in and timely review of UFO reports by private groups ensures that sound evidence is not overlooked by the scientific community. Persons wishing to report UFO sightings should be advised to contact local law enforcement agencies.The USAF does not currently investigate UFO's, unidentified flying phenomena of any type, or reports of extraterrestrial contact. USAF Fact Sheet 95-03 can be found at the link below. It is too large to post here in its entirely.
Top ten airforces of the world?
1. USA 2. Russia 3. China 4. UK 5. France 6. India 7. Germany 8. R. Korea 9. Israel 10. Greece This list is comprised from data comparing not only manpower, but the budget size and mobility of the Airforce. It also doesn't favour countries like Israel as, although they do have highly trained pilots and a reasonable amount of aircraft, it is an example of a country that has built an unsustainable armed force (due to its relatively small economy) so could not withstand a war over 4 months at a time and its milatary strength is as a result of its generous share of its governments budget spending in comparision to other countries. Also countries like Israel and India may have landed higher in the table if they could compete with the USA, UK or France on Weapons and Aircraft technology develpment as these are the countries which develop and create the Aircraft where as israel and India buys its defence capitol from the USA and UK second hand. The Greek Air-Force is also very well-known for its extensively highly-trained pilots. Dont forget that their best squad beat America's best squad with an incredible 17-3 at NATO's biggest airforce exercise "Red Flag" which took place at Nellis Airbase of Nevada in 2007.
