Change Aviation Cadet Eligibility Rules for Air Force

Effective October 1, applicants must have at least two years of college education, including 60 semester hours, and an equivalent of two years of college work will no longer serve as an education alternative.

Rock in Kensels Pasture Tracked for Earth’s Size Study
An unobtrusive six inch rock on Frank Robinson’s Frankfort area pasture serves as the center of a large geodetic project. The rock’s bronze plaque bears a tiny triangle and a dot used by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to measure Earth’s size. Gravity checks and prior astronomical work connect to establish precise measurements, with the rock long serving as a reference point for surveys from the White House to rural farms and beyond, guiding cartography across North America and the world.
