  • Evaluation of the Federal Air Marshal Service
    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Offi ce of Inspector General Evaluation of the Federal Air Marshal Service Notice: The Department of Homeland Security, Office of Counsel to the Inspector General, has reviewed this report and excised information according to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. section 552, as amended. Offi ce of Inspections, Evaluations, & Special Reviews OIG-04-32August 2004 Errata Please note the heading for Appendix A should read “Disciplinary Actions February 2002 – October 2003.” In addition, the text at the bottom of page 21 should read, “These 753 actionable incidents represent disciplinary actions that were reported…between February 2002 and October 2003.” While this correction alters the period from eight months to 20 months in which the 753 disciplinary actions occurred, it does not alter the OIG’s original assertion and response to BTS. Based on the misconduct list provided in TSA’s Interim Policy on Addressing Performance and Conduct Problems, air marshals could have been dismissed in many misconduct cases between February 2002 and October 2003.

    Combined Cadet Force Royal Air Force A Commissioning Aide Memoire for the Officer Cadre Version 1 “Where else could you learn to fly aerobatics, visit Royal Air Force Stations, tour foreign countries, play sports from local to international level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, become a target shooting marksman, gain your Duke of Edinburgh Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, learn aviation subjects, go caving, parachute, climb, sail, ski...? These and much more are readily available to you as a member of the Air Cadet Organization.” Air Commodore Jon Chitty OBE. Introduction The school cadet organisation originates from 1859, when schools at Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Rossall, Felsted, Hurstpierpoint, Winchester and Tonbridge formed armed uniformed units as part of a national reserve to counter a perceived threat from abroad. By 1900, cadet units were established in over 100 schools across the country and in 1908, these units were re-titled the Officer Training Corps (OTC). In 1948, the OTC was renamed the Combined Cadet Force. The aim of the Combined Cadet Force is to provide a framework through which young people develop the qualities of team work, self-reliance, resourcefulness, leadership and responsibility. A weekly programme of military training is designed to give young people at King’s a chance to exercise responsibility and leadership, to provide them with knowledge of our defence forces, and to encourage those who might be interested in becoming officers of the Armed Services. Uniform members of the Combined Cadet Force will regularly stay on Royal Air Forces bases, therefore it is important that cadets are able to demonstrate an awareness of the structure and organisation of the Royal Air Force, its role in the defence of the United Kingdom and her interests and the operations in which the Royal Air Force are currently engaged.
