Troops based in Europe are getting a little relief this week with a cost-of-living allowance increase due to the falling value of the dollar against the euro and British pound. US service members will get up to a 25 percent pay increase, from $150 to $200 a month, starting with the second pay period in December, reports Stars and Stripes.
The Air Force expects to start modifying its first B-52H Stratofortress bomber with new engines and other upgrades later this year, following the successful review of the Commercial Engine Replacement Program’s design.
