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.
The F-47 fighter will be run differently than previous fighter programs and share the same mission systems architecture as the Collaborative Combat Aircraft, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin told the Senate Armed Services Committee. That means advances in one will fuel advances in the other.
