There are 1,512 active duty enlisted airmen that the Air Force has marked for involuntary retraining in Fiscal 2008. Once on this list, the airmen must formally certify by Dec. 17 their willingness to retrain, and they must then apply for a new career field from an approved list by Jan. 31. Failure to meet either of these gates mean the airmen are out the door on the current date of separation. (Air Force Personnel Center release.)
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.
