Veterans Affairs has created a Web page specifically for the new inter-agency task force looking into the bureaucracy confronting combat veterans who try to get help from VA and other federal agencies. The VA has included an e-mail function (find it on the Web page under Contact) to enable anyone to send comments to the task force. A VA release says the comments “will be studied by the task force, used in the panel’s evaluation of gaps in service, and form the basis of recommended solutions.” This is one of the groups the Administration has established following the revelations of substandard care and bureaucratic hassles for some outpatients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
