The Air Force has decided to waive repayment of a portion of GI Bill education benefits for those reservists that cannot find a new slot when their units close under BRAC 2005. The part about not having to repay is the good news. This waiver applies to airmen in their initial six-year enlistment in the Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve Command. Those airmen finding themselves without a new ANG or AFRC job must apply for a waiver through their local training offices.
Airmen and Guardians in the Active and Reserve component, as well as civilian employees, in “mission critical and high-risk populations” are now required to receive influenza vaccinations annually to “preserve force readiness,” according to a recent Department of the Air Force memo.
