Imagine an Air Force that can't train to fight a big war, can't train for the small war, but is too busy and poor to fix the problems. Now open your eyes. We're there. Fighting the Global War on Terror requires a specific skill set that is different from flying an alert mission for Operation Noble Eagle, and is very different from the requirements of fighting a near-peer competitor. But, if the Air Staff has its way, by Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 most of the fighter and bomber squadrons will be training to fight three different kinds of wars with about 32% less flying hours than they had 2004 (according to ACC/A3TO). Air Force resources and policies are preventing fighter squadrons from being combat ready and something must be done. What can we do? What we can do is to halt the next roughly 10% cut to flying hours that the Air Staff is trying to impose as an "efficiency" starting in FY10. How did we gain this efficiency? Well, we created it by cutting the flying hour budget. You see, if you don't fund the hours then you have spent less on readiness and you can claim an "efficiency" in the name of Air Force Smart Operations (AFSO)...21. I didn't want to forget the 21. That makes it futuristic and inherently better, doesn't it? There may be some great applications for AFSO21, but using blanket cuts that are relying on some hoped-for efficiency doesn't seem like a good bet. What else doesn't seem like a good bet? The Air Staff willingly restoring the unfunded hours. So what else can we do to train better if we aren't getting the right resources?

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
