If you commission in to the Air Force as a non-rated officer (not a pilot, navigator, air battle manager) you'll be required to serve 4 years active duty. Pilots are required to serve 10 years. Basically it would be 8 years active (2ish years for flight school, 6 years actually flying) then 2 years inactive........
Stumbling block. For other uses, see Stumbling block (disambiguation). A stumbling block or scandal in the Bible is a metaphor for a behavior or attitude that leads another to sin.
The origin of the metaphor is the prohibition of putting a stumbling block before the blind (Leviticus 19:14). Geoffrey W. Bromiley calls the image especially appropriate to a rocky land like Palestine. In the Hebrew Bible, the term for stumbling block is Biblical Hebrew miá¸µÅ¡Ål (×Ö´×Ö°×©××Ö¹×).
