The Air Force has decided to extend the deadline for officers to apply for Voluntary Separation Pay to May 31, just a couple of weeks after making the cutoff March 31. The service still plans to hold a Reduction in Force board in June, targeting officers in overage career fields in 1995, 1996, 2000, and 2001.
The Air Force is launching an effort to develop a new stand-off missile with a range of 1,000 nautical miles, or 1,150 miles, that would eventually be used for both air-to-air and air-to-surface missions.
