Facts About United States Air Force Memorial

Interesting & Fun Facts About US Air Force Memorial
- The US Air Force Memorial honors the 54,000 airmen who died while serving in the US Air Force and other historical service arms of the military.
- The memorial has been designed by internationally acclaimed architect James Ingo Freed, one of America's finest designers, who also designed the famous US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.
- The spires went under construction in February 2006 and were completed in the next seven months. Thereafter, the memorial was dedicated to the deceased servicemen on October 14, 2006 with as many as 30,000 spectators attending the ceremony.
- The memorial comprises of three stainless steel spires, ranging from 201 feet to 270 feet, soaring up the sky representing the true flight and flying spirit of the Air Force.
- The three spires that constitute the memorial signify the three core values of the Air Force: integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all that is done. They also represent the Air Force's total force - active, guard and reserve.
- These three spires, dispersing in a "bomb burst" maneuver, represent the contrails of the Air Force Thunderbirds.
- The Air Force "star", embedded in granite, lies beneath the three spires as the rank insignia of every enlisted member of the Air Force.
- To the south of the memorial, four 8-foot bronze statues of the memorial's Honor Guard stand tall. These statues were sculpted by the renowned figurative sculptor, Zenos Frudakis.
- Two inscription walls, 56 feet long 10 feet high and 1 foot tall, stand at each end of the central lawn. Made from polished, high-reflective monolithic Jet Mist granite, both the walls have a 2.5 inch outer inscription panel made from Absolute Black Granite.
- While the north wall denotes the names of Air Force recipients of the Medal of Honor, the south wall has high inspirational quotes on core values.
Interestingly, the arcs of the spires appear different depending upon the viewer's location, weather, season and time of the day.
The spires are illuminated from beneath in the night giving the tips even a more brilliant appearance.

Is experience as an Army Res. air traffic control operator enough to land a civilian Air Traffic Cont job?
I am trying to find the right person to contact about this question, but I do not want to ask just the Army itself because they might not give the best advice. So, just like my question up top says: Is the experienced gained in the Army Reserve for an Air Traffic Control Operator enough training/experience to land a civilian Air Traffic Control job at an airport?
Anyone with a CTO or full radar facility rating may apply to the FAA as an air traffic controller. Note that I said CTO as opposed to I worked only ground but never local and full radar rating as opposed to I checked out on PAR and final, but never did departure. Some military controllers seem to only get about half their facility certifications and used in those functions only.
A radar rating won't get you a job at a non FAA federal contract tower though. Only a CTO with normally 6 months or so experience as a fully qualified controller will get you that.
