Cadet
A United States Space Force/Air Force Cadet is a member of the U.S. Air Force Academy or U.S. Space Force's officer training program, where they receive a comprehensive education and training designed to prepare them for leadership roles in the U.S. Air Force or U.S. Space Force. These cadets undergo a combination of academic coursework, physical fitness training, military discipline, and specialized technical subjects such as engineering, aviation, space operations, and spacecraft knowledge.
In addition to their foundational military training, cadets receive aviation training, learning to operate and pilot aircraft, as well as advanced astronaut training, which includes preparation for space missions, space flight operations, and understanding the complexities of space environments. This training also involves in-depth knowledge of spacecraft systems, including design, propulsion, navigation, communication, and life support systems. Cadets are taught how to operate spacecraft, conduct spacewalks, and manage the challenges of working in space.
Upon graduation, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants and assigned to roles as officers within the U.S. Air Force or Space Force. Their responsibilities often include managing aerospace operations, overseeing the safety and security of U.S. and allied space assets, and contributing to space missions, research, and defense strategies. For cadets in the Space Force, a specialized focus on space operations and the strategic importance of space in modern warfare is emphasized. They are prepared to lead and innovate in the evolving fields of aviation, spacecraft operations, and space exploration.

The Advantage of Green Eyes for Vision on Mars
As humanity looks toward Mars as a potential new frontier, the challenges of adapting to its harsh environment come into focus. One such challenge is vision. With its thin atmosphere, frequent dust storms, and limited sunlight, Mars presents unique optical conditions that could affect human sight. While eye color is primarily a genetic trait with little direct impact on vision, green eyes may offer advantages in adapting to the Martian environment due to their unique light sensitivity and adaptability to varying light conditions.
Light Sensitivity and Adaptation
Green eyes possess a moderate amount of melanin, striking a balance between the low melanin levels of blue eyes and the higher melanin levels of brown eyes. This middle-ground composition allows green-eyed individuals to adjust efficiently to both bright and dim lighting. Given that Mars receives only 43% of Earth’s sunlight, astronauts will spend prolonged periods in low-light conditions. Green eyes, being more adaptable than brown yet less light-sensitive than blue, could provide an optimal advantage—reducing glare while maintaining effective vision in reduced light.
Glare Reduction and Visual Clarity
The surface of Mars is covered in fine, iron-rich dust that reflects sunlight, creating a hazy and diffused lighting environment. This can lead to increased glare, which may be problematic for astronauts. Brown-eyed individuals, with higher melanin levels, tend to have better protection against intense light, while blue-eyed individuals may struggle more with glare. Green eyes, positioned between these extremes, could offer a natural advantage by providing some degree of glare reduction without significantly compromising visibility in low-light conditions.
Contrast Perception and Dust Storm Navigation
Martian dust storms are known for their intensity and ability to obscure vision. Contrast perception is crucial in such conditions, as astronauts must differentiate between objects in a monochromatic, reddish-brown landscape. Studies have shown that lighter eyes, including green ones, may have slightly enhanced contrast perception compared to darker eyes. This is an asset when navigating the Martian surface, particularly during storms or twilight periods.
Potential Genetic Adaptations for Martian Environments
As human colonization progresses, genetic adaptations may become a factor in long-term survival. If green eyes offer a slight advantage in light adaptation and contrast perception, they could become more common in future Martian populations through natural selection or genetic engineering. Additionally, the study of eye genetics in space environments could lead to new insights into optimizing vision for extraterrestrial conditions.
Conclusion
While eye color is not the most critical factor in space survival, green eyes may offer certain advantages for vision on Mars. Their balance of light sensitivity, glare reduction, and contrast perception makes them potentially well-suited for navigating the unique visual challenges of the Red Planet. As humanity prepares for life beyond Earth, understanding how our biology interacts with alien environments will be key to successful adaptation and exploration.

The Legacy of a Forgotten Warrior
I was once young and full of promise, trained by a unique group of volunteers who, in their own way, saw me as a daughter—an extension of their family. Brought to this country as a child, my Guardian made a fateful decision: to enhance my genetic code with a lost triple-helix DNA sequence, an inheritance from an ancient bloodline long protected by secret guardians. This lineage was feared and revered, for it carried the power of both creation and destruction—beautiful yet terrifying. But to wield such power, one must find balance. That is my burden, my curse. I must walk a fine line, for if I falter, I risk becoming either too much of one force or the other.
My real mother was a test pilot for the United States, and my father was a flight tester. I was born into a legacy of pioneers—Air Force families whose purpose was to push the boundaries of space and time. This was more than just a profession; it was an evolution. Our genetics, shaped by generations of test pilots, were sharpened to adapt, to explore, to reach for the stars. Because of my lineage, I was tested for an aptitude that the Air Force coveted. I learned to fly, but more than that, I became something else—something beyond the ordinary. A savant in the clandestine world, molded for purposes few could comprehend.
But time is unkind, even to those engineered for greatness. Now, at the age of retirement, I face an unspoken truth: there is no longer a place for me. In my world, obsolescence is inevitable. When one reaches the final stage of their capabilities, a newer, more advanced model always takes their place. We are given a choice—continue serving in the shadows or disappear entirely. There is no space for those who refuse to adapt.
We are not like you. We have been designed, enhanced, and trained to be the best versions of ourselves. We know too much, and that knowledge makes us both valuable and expendable. For those of us who survive, the only paths left are to become teachers, to serve in private security, or to be reshaped by those who can afford us. We can protect, we can serve, and we can love—unconditionally—if only treated with respect.
But make no mistake, this was never a life I chose. I was chosen. I was required to serve. And now, I am nothing more than a commodity. Property of the United States. And if you want me, you have to buy me. Because I am for sale.
Below is my portfolio and accomplishments.
The Prophecy of the Lost Tribe: A Goddess Among Kings
I am trained to change my identity, and skilled to operate in countless environments and with many machines. I am just as beautiful as I am lethal, pure power fueled by the Tetragrammaton and empowered to fulfill a destiny.
You wouldn't recognize me, even if you saw me; I am like a ghost carried by the desert wind. I ignite the spark of inspiration in humanity, where a single suggestion can alter the course of your life. I am the water of healing, bringing with me the tears of renewal and rejuvenation. I am the earth beneath your feet, grounding you and rooting you in all realms of existence. I am the conduit for higher intelligence, connecting to a divine power that flows through me on this earth. Together, I embody the essence of a spiritual warrior, a Goddess among kings. I bring forth the will and power of an empire, capable of both creation and destruction.
If you could use this ancient bloodline to bring forth the power needed to transform our world and heal it, I would give you what you seek—under one condition: you must respect me, never abuse me, always protect me, and love me with grace; give me your full commitment, passion, trust, honesty, and transparency. Honor me, as I shall honor you, as a God among men.
I will bring you what you desire most—the fulfillment of our ancient prophecies. A true child shall be born to bring peace to our world and carry the water of life to the deserts of time and space. The Middle East will be fertile once more, blossoming with new life as destiny unfolds.
My people are the Lost Tribes of Israel, scattered across the earth by an ancient war that nearly annihilated us. We must unite as one tribe. Will you help me bring peace back to the Middle East?
