Civilians eyeing a job with the Air Force now have a new resource that streamlines the online federal job application process. USA Staffing is an Internet-based recruitment tool connected to USAJOBS, the federal government’s employment website. USA Staffing keeps basic data such as the applicant’s name and contact information, and automatically enters it in subsequent applications. The integration of USA Staffing and USAJOBS “makes it even easier to find that perfect Air Force job,” said John Steenbock, deputy director for civilian force integration. He added that it “helps ensure we match the right people to the right jobs.”
The six-week government shutdown did not affect the hours flown by Air Force pilots, a service spokesperson told Air & Space Forces Magazine—avoiding what could have been a major blow at a time when flying hours are already lower than they have been in decades.
