Personally I'm baffled as to why OASC interviewers would ask such questions. Yes, sure, candidates can show their commitment by having done some research, but I don't think it's fair on some sections of the applicant pool to ask questions like these where research requires access to knowledgeable people through UAS, ATC or personal connections, or enough avgeekery to know about this site. Asking questions where the answer isn't readily available in the public domain gradually starts narrowing the candidate pool down in ways which might not be in our best interests. After all, we can teach people all the service knowledge we want once they're in. And their first Boss and career manager can tell them what's expected of them on their first tour, which might be so far in the future that a great deal could have changed. We can't always teach them other attributes which might have been better screened for at interview.
