Three Air Force Materiel Command personnel—one military and two civilians—will be attending the University of Tennessee’s Aerospace Master of Business Administration program, which is in its second year and in its first year as a USAF sponsored program, say AFMC officials. The Air Force acquisition office believe the program offers “a large payback” with minimal time away from work. The three airmen are: Maj. Wade Jense, Odgen Air Logistics Center, Hill AFB, Utah; Roshelle Orgusaar, Air Armament Center, Eglin AFB, Fla., and Mary Lou Robinson, Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The program starts in January.
The Air Force wants to pump more than $12 billion over the next five years into its new affordable long-range missiles program and recently asked industry to push the flights of some of those munitions beyond 1,200 miles.
