The Air Force Academy has sent 18 cadets to Southwest Asia over the summer as part of Operation Air Force. SrA. Clark Staehle reports that the 18, who will be seniors at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., in the fall, are being given “duties and tasks that will fall under their purview after they graduate.”
The Air Force’s senior enlisted leader told lawmakers that the service is working on 17 new on-base child care facilities to reduce a space shortfall and clear a backlog of Airmen’s children waiting for slots.
