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 Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
