This may be a first. The Air Force has selected two instructor pilots, who happen to be husband and wife, to train as B-2 bomber pilots. Currently, Capt. Rob Makros and Capt. Beth Makros serve as T-38 IPs at Vance AFB, Okla. They will transfer to the 509th Bomb Wing, Whiteman AFB, Mo., in July. They have not always been this lucky, spending much of their six years in the Air Force apart.
Promotions to the Space Force’s second highest enlisted grade, senior master sergeant, have surged to the highest level in the young service’s history, bolstering the senior NCO corps as officials plan to aggressively expand the force and especially the enlisted corps.
