More than 760 civil service employees at Hill AFB, Utah, applied for voluntary termination on the first day of a new voluntary early retirement and early separation incentive program, reports the Hilltop Times. They hope to take advantage of a cash bonus of up to $25,000. The incentive program runs through Aug. 16. Base officials maintain the high number is “no surprise.”
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
