| Title | Description | | Selective Service System | The Selective Service System is an independent federal agency operating with permanent authorization under the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.). It is not part of the Department of Defense; however, it exists to serve the emergency manpower needs of the Military by conscripting untrained manpower, or personnel with professional health care skills, if directed by Congress and the President in a national crisis. Its statutory missions also include being ready to administer an alternative service program, in lieu of military service for men classified as conscientious objectors. | | United States Air Force | Your call to duty will come from within. Maybe it will whisper. Maybe it will hint. Or maybe it will come to you as a resounding scream that you were meant for bigger things, faster moves and a higher cause.
That cause may very well be the United States Air Force. Become a part of the pre-eminent Air and Space power in the world. Take your place at the forefront of war-fighting, peacekeeping, and humanitarian aid. Join the most technologically sophisticated military branch and one of the largest and most important companies in the world. A company that measures success by its impact on the world, our country and the lives of the men and women who hear the call and join our ranks.
When you hear your call to duty, will you choose to ignore it and opt for the mundane? The easy? The uninspiring? Or will you Cross Into the Blue?
