The Air Force Reserve Command’s “Hurricane Hunters” from Keesler AFB, Miss., are in Hawaii tracking Hurricane Flossie. The Honolulu Star Bulletin reports that the specially configured WC-130Js from the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron have flown several six-hour missions within the eye of the storm since Aug. 12, transmitting data to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
