Gulfstream’s military service record stretches a half-century and is marked by versatility, reliability and performance. Gulfstream aircraft perform as trainers and transports, intelligence gatherers and medevac platforms. Today’s fleet is in service to nearly 40 countries, and Gulfstream provides more large-cabin business jets for special missions than any other aircraft manufacturer. Whatever your mission, Gulfstream delivers. TROY MILLER | +1 703 841 7443 | [email protected] | GULFSTREAM.COM/SPECIALMISSIONS Editorial By Adam J. Hebert, Editor in Chief Opsec and Glossophobia A handful of specific emails and letters arrive after we publish the June Air Force Magazine USAF Almanac every year. The writ- ers express concern the almanac provides too much information. Air Force Magazine does not print classified information. Ev- erything in its pages is publicly releasable, and most almanac information comes from USAF or the Defense Department. The Air Force itself is in the midst of a major re-evaluation of what to say publicly, through an operational security (opsec) and public a airs “reset.” This covers interviews, base visits, public speaking engagements, and even o icial responses to queries. The reset began in March after several incidents where USAF “just skirted the edge” of acceptable disclosure, Chief of Sta Gen. David L. Goldfein told reporters. It “just got to the point where [Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson] and I were uncomfortable with the kind of operational details we were talking about,” he Sen. Lindsey Graham (at podium), Rep.

The Asian market continues to be the principal destination for European ship-owners. It is the best destination to make one last profit of an aging fleet which is not adapted to new international commercial maritime standards. To be noted is the percentage of container ships which continues to increase and reached 19% of the vessels to be demolished. India is the country which benefits from this flow. 55% of this category of vessels are 20 years old or less.

Beyond providing for our national security, the military installations in Oklahoma (Altus AFB, Fort Sill, McAlester Army Ammu- nition Plant, Tinker AFB, and Vance AFB) have a tremendous economic impact in the state. They are economic engines that employ Oklahomans. Illustrating the importance of these installations: • Over 69,100 military personnel, federal civilian personnel and contractors were employed at Oklahoma’s military installations in FY 2010. • These jobs, and the operations at the installations, supported an additional 64,700 jobs in Oklahoma’s economy for a total employment impact of more than 133,800 jobs in the state. • Impacts on Oklahoma’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is value-added economic activity, totaled more than $9.6 billion in FY 2010, which was more than 7% of the size of the state’s entire economy.
