When asked about NSPS, Lt. Gen. Roger Brady, USAF’s personnel chief, said he thinks it’s going very well. Brady testified before a House panel Thursday, saying Air Force officials are “enthusiastic” about the National Security Personnel System. He went on, “We think it’s a critically important initiative for the services and for our people” because it enables the services to reward superior performance and recruit and retain high quality personnel.
