Readers may recall our item (DR, 09/27/05) taking note of a Sept. 23 meeting of some 100 Air Force general officers at a hotel in Omaha. USAF’s new Chief of Staff, Gen. Michael Moseley, had called the brass together for a free-flowing session. In at least one sense, he got it. We are told that more than half of the attendees were sickened by the Norwalk virus, a nasty food-poisoning bug that produces nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Moseley himself was a victim.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
