What is the lowest rank of officer in the Air Force?
The US Air Force was created from the US Army Air Corps, and the Army ranks were retained, so 2nd lieutenant is the lowest. The term 3rd lieutenant is used, but it applies to Air Force cadets (not officers yet) training on US Air Force bases.
What is the Air force sword?
The Air Force Sword is the ceremonial edged weapon carried by enlisted airmen for special ceremonies. This sword borrows its design from the Air Force Academy Saber which was designed in 1955. The Air Force Sword is identical to the USAFA Saber in every way with the exception of the "US Air Force Academy" inscription on the blade. The Air Force Sword replaced the Model 1840 NCO Sword as the official ceremonial edged weapon for enlisted Airmen sometime within the last decade, although the transition was so gradual that I am having trouble pinpointing exactly when the change occurred Despite the numerous bad information given by Internet sources the Air Force Sword is not the weapon carried by Air Force Officers. Air Force officers still carry the Model 1902 Saber. In 1948, one year after the USAF separated from the Army, the Air Force Honor Guard was born. Citing the need for ceremonial edged weapons, they used the same weapons as the army due to their availability. This tradition has remained unchanged for Air Force Officers. The USAF currently does not have its own manual of arms and references Army FM 22-5 as the reference for drilling under arms. As of yet, the only published information outlining which weapons are to be used by either enlisted or officer, is the Honor Guard Manual, which can be found at www.honorguard.af.mil I hope this has been helpful, LT.

You recently saw the show Hogan's Heros and you have been wondering about ranks ever since Could someone just tell me the basics of the Air Force?
The Air Force rank structure is very similar to that of the US Army. It should be, as the USAF was born from the old Army Air Corps at the end of WWII. There are two tiers within the ranks structure, Enlisted and Commissioned. Enlisted personnel make up the vast bulk of the Air Force. Enlisted rank is counted in "E" numbers, from E-1 through E-9: E-1: Airman Basic E-2: Airman E-3: Airman First Class E-4: Senior Airman E-5: Staff Sgt. E-6: Technical Sgt. E-7: Master Sgt. E-8: Senior Master Sgt. E-9: Chief Master Sgt. Commissioned Officer rank is the same as the Army. The Air Force no longer has Warrent Officers, however.
