Airmen in US Air Forces in Europe will not have to repay housing allowance money they received through a misinterpretation of a new law, reports Stars and Stripes. Nearly 9,000 airmen got too much money from Oct. 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006. The total amount is around $4 million.
The Air Force has embraced new technical approaches like open mission systems and rapid software updates for cutting-edge aircraft like the B-21 and Collaborative Combat Aircraft. Increasingly, though, the service is also working to apply these to its older, “legacy” aircraft, officials said this week.
