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.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
