The Gallup Organization will develop a psychological test that the Air Force hopes will help it identify young people with the requisite character and leadership ability to succeed in officer training programs, reports The Chronicle of Higher Education. And, the service hopes the new tool could enable recruiters to spend less time interviewing and more time seeking qualified minorities. Service officials briefed details of the initiative to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors during an Oct. 17 meeting in Washington.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
