The Air Force has reversed its decision to cut special pays. Now it believes it can avert “any financial losses to our airmen,” because of revised budget estimates and reductions in the numbers of airmen eligible for the special duty assignment pay, says Lt. Col. Ken Sersun, deputy chief of force management at the Pentagon, in a Sept. 19 release.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
