The Air Force has begun the slightly controversial move to make the results of enlisted promotions available via the Web with the November chief master sergeant promotion list, according to a Nov. 2 USAF release. Some airmen questioned the service’s enlisted leaders about the plan during AFA’s Air & Space Conference in Washington in September. Service officials believe the new system will make notification easier with so many airmen deployed and will save money and manpower.
The Space Force is playing midwife to a new ecosystem of commercial satellite constellations providing alternatives to the service’s own Global Positioning Service from much closer to the Earth, making their signals more accurate and harder to jam.
