According to the US Air Force Academy spokesman, Johnny Whitaker, the Washington meeting of the academy’s Board of Visitors was “an upbeat meeting.” The 15-member board commended the academy for changes that had been made following the sexual assault scandal. The Air Force’s response to the latest academy controversy—religious intolerance—left them less enthused, according to Whitaker. He termed USAF’s new religious guidelines “interim” and “still open for discussion.”
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.
