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.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
