The reality is in 2013 most American lives are being logged at every step from being filmed as they buy a soda at 7-11 or doing your homework at the computer lab at a community college. And, although many have heard about this intrusion, many do not most know the extent of this information and its impact when it is combined in a profile. This profile is used in background checks for top security clearances that the Office of Personnel Management (2013) requires to obtain this credential. Today, all people that have top security clearances are at risk to be targeted in ways that are deviant and often passive. To understand the profile is used to supply background checks, a history of the former company ChoicePoint will be explained to show this security threat of this now defunct company has contributed to this risk.
The Civil Reserve Air Fleet is a partnership between the Department of Defense and commercial airlines where the airlines contractually commit a portion of their aircraft and crews to be used by the Department in the event of any level of military conflict. These aircraft can be “called up” and required to respond quickly to provide airlift support to the Department of Defense. There are minimum required levels of participation in order for the airlines to be eligible, and in turn they receive peace time business including passenger and cargo movement approximately in proportion to their commitment level. The program is divided into three segments which include varying amounts and sizes of aircraft that serve specific purposes. There are also three levels of activation depending on the severity of the conflict, which also require different amounts and sizes of aircraft. This program has been in place for nearly 53 years, and has become an essential partnership required for an effective United States military. The following pages are an investigation various aspects of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet such as its purpose, history, and effectiveness.

Training, joint exercises, military operations and humanitarian relief cannot be done from afar, which means U.S. service members must deploy to various countries within Africa. Before sending U.S. forces abroad, AFRICOM must ensure there are adequate status protections in place.54

While provisions of the Title 10 U.S Code do not apply the PCA to overseas locations, Department of Defense Directive 5525.5 applies the restrictions of the PCA to service members operating outside of the continental United States (Miller 1).
For my General Aviation Value Analysis, I decided to use my position as a Marine Corps aviation maintenance program inspector as my model. I was homebased in Okinawa, Japan and often traveled to Iwakuni, Japan and Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii to conduct inspections. These “business trips” lasted for a week with us departing for our destinations on Sunday and returning on Friday. For “business aircraft”, I will use two types of military aircraft, dependent on destination. I will use a C-130 for travel to Iwakuni, Japan and a C-17 for travel to Marine Corps Base Hawaii. I chose these two aircraft because they travel to those locations on standard, but scheduled, routes. I did not include

Missed appointments are a huge issue in the Army. A missed appointment affects the readiness of both individual Soldiers and their supporting units. The first and most obvious detriment to the readiness of a Soldier with a missed appointment is the ever-present threat of UCMJ action taken under article 86, Absent Without Leave. To be charged under article 86 of the UCMJ you merely have to be not present at the given place of your appointment at the specified time. Receiving an article 15 for the above charge can have a domino effect on both the Soldier’s professional and personal life. Depending on the severity of the punishment exacted through the article 15 the Service Member runs the risk of losing time, money, and freedom. In an extreme case the loss of these things can cause a fit of depression that firstly could cause the Service Member to seek further help through behavioral health services to feel better. Secondly, if the Service Member is not resilient in the face of this adversity they may not get back on the metaphorical horse and their work suffers for this they can come under even more scrutiny. With an article 15 the lost time for work is not always noticed when it come to the multiple reading and the time it takes to prepare the paperwork. First the commander takes time out of his busy day to read the Service Member not only once but twice. Administration not only takes the time to prepare but also deliver the necessary paperwork to trial defense services. If the offense is repetitive the possibility of court martial can come into play. Now all the work that went into an article 15 grows exponentially. Not only does jag have to pull together a case to prosecute a Soldier, but also the Soldier and their attorney hav...
