While there I learned how to work on HMMWV’s‚ ASV’s‚ MRAP’s‚ LMTV/FMTV’s‚ and many other vehicle types. It was there I decided to reenlist for another 6 year of active service with the MOS reclassification option. After returning from deployment‚ I report to another AIT as a MOS-T for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operator (15W) course on 07

A solar car is a solar vehicle used for land transport. Solar cars combine technology typically used in the aerospace‚ bicycle‚alternative energy and automotive industries. The design of a solar vehicle is severely limited by the amount of energy input into the car. Most solar cars have been built for the purpose of solar car races. Exceptions include solar-powered cars and utility vehicles. Solar cars are often fitted with gauges as seen in conventional cars. To keep the car running smoothly‚

The United States government has made hundreds of attacks on targets in northwest Pakistan since 2004 using drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) controlled by the American Central Intelligence Agency ’s Special Activities Division.[4] Most of these attacks are on targets in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the Afghan border in Northwest Pakistan. These strikes were begun by President George W. Bush and have increased substantially under President Barack Obama.[5] Some media refer to
