Here are some more information for Air Force Training:
The AGR Training NCO has a vital role is the success of his or her Army National Guard company.
In most units, the Training Sergeant works with the full-time Supply Sergeant and Administration Sergeant and works directly for the Readiness NCO.
The primaries duties of the Training NCO include schools and training. He or she enrolls soldiers in school, ensures they are prepared for training, and follows up with the soldiers as needed. The Training NCO also resources training areas and training equipment for drill weekend and Annual Training.
As a company commander, it's important that you work with your full-time AGR Staff. Most of the time, you will work with the Readiness NCO and let him or her give guidance to the AGR Staff members.
While I was in company command, I formed a good working relationship with all my AGR staff. If you are in command, you need to do the same thing.
One way to build a relationship with your AGR staff is through effective counseling. You should sit down with your entire staff and determine responsibilities and goals.
Each staff member should have a list of priorities. I call these the big 3. These priorities are the most important things they do.
For instance, your Training NCO's priorities might be (1) schools, (2) resourcing training areas and equipment, and (3) assisting the Readiness NCO as needed.
Once they know their priorities, they know how to effectively manage their time.
In summary, your Training NCO has a really important job. And, they will have a major impact on whether or not the company commander is successful.
To learn more about how a CO can effectively work with his or her staff, visit our new website http://www.part-time-commander.com. Charles Holmes is a former company commander and combat veteran.
Air Force Restricts Expansion of Solar Energy
In what has to be a blow for both environmentalists and traditional energy supporters alike, last week two plans – one for solar thermal technology and one for coal – faced the NIMBY factor and were postponed or put away altogether.
The first was the Ely Energy Center, a coal-fired power plant slated for eastern Nevada that would have produced 1200 megawatts of power and served over one million homes, operating at peak power.
This center – two, 750-megawatt coal-fired plants, the first scheduled for launch in 2011 – would have used about 16,000 acre-feet of groundwater annually in its dual cooling towers, and was an environmental disaster in the making, even with the proposed installation of two 500-megawatt coal gasification plants to limit emissions.
Sierra Pacific Power Company of California (the parent company of Nevada Power) has since abandoned its plans for the Ely center, saying it won’t move forward until carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are more advanced, which isn’t likely to happen before 2020. In the meantime, however, it plans to go ahead with the proposed 250-mile transmission line, dubbed ONline, that will link northern and southern Nevada, providing the state’s public utilities commission agrees.
If built, the Ely Energy Center would have been one of the biggest generators in Nevada, a state whose growth has made new power production facilities a must. So it’s doubly unfortunate that, in almost the same week, the U.S. Air Force put a damper on a $700-million proposed thermal solar power plant near Nellis Air Force Base, about 175 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
For SolarReserve, which has already relocated the site once at the behest of the Air Force, it’s a telling blow. The original site would have taken advantage of transmission facilities left behind when a mining operation went belly up, and would have been a showcase for SolarReserve’s solar thermal plants, which use heliostats, or mirrors, to focus energy on a tower. That energy is then stored in molted (melted) salt for up to 16 hours, delivering solar energy even in the middle of the night.
The Air Force –citing security issues at its Nellis flight-training range – now says the solar plant has to go even farther away. About 100 miles away, in Mesquite, on the Nevada side of the Arizona border, even though the rejected plans called for a single solar-power tower that would have been obscured by a 2,000-foot-tall mountain range that separates the air force base from the proposed solar plant.
SolarReserve, which has appealed to members of Congress, may not have much choice in the matter, though moving yet again will delay the project by another year, perhaps as much as a year and a half. But at least Mesquite seems enthusiastic.

What do they exactly do in the Air Force Basic Training? Is it pretty easy or difficult?
I am getting mix answers from people saying that the Air Force Basic Training is difficult and some are saying it is pretty easy. So I just wanna know most of the details of their Basic Training.
What they do in basic training is that they teach new recruits the basics of life in the military, and it's a process of weeding out people who are not suited to military lifestyle. You are getting mixed reviews of the difficulty because the difficulty is based on three things: The squadron that the recruit was assigned to. People who think basic was easy may have been assigned to "Disneyland", the quality of the Training Instructor, and most importantly, the individual. Fifteen percent of people never finish Basic.
If I could offer only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. (oops, sorry) To anyone going through basic, it would be expect to make mistakes. The first few days you are all rainbows, new recruits who march around wearing civilian clothes. You will get yelled at, you will get your hair shaved. don't volunteer for anything at first, (always volunteer after the 2nd or 3rd time)
Before you go in, PLEASE have someone teach you how to make hospital corners on a bed. DO be able to run at least 2 miles in 13 minutes. Don't lie to a TI. Highlights of Basics: Doing one thing everyday that scares you. Machine gun training, obstacle course, making friends, learning to enjoy the things you take for granted Geting a TI to laugh. Lowlights of Basic: hurrying up and wait, security clearance, having to fill out 341's (if they still even use those paper forms), losing friends for whatever reason, and having to give reporting statements to the "snakepit ", a lunch table where TI's converge and eat in the chowhall. I included a pretty dry youtube video that does show what you can expect. (The comments are great.) Also, try to get photos of you in Basic, because in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself, and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you. Oh, and trust me on the sunscreen.
