DOD Plans To Note Vulnerability on Pay Statement: Pentagon officials say they will notify active and reserve military members whose personal data may have been compromised by the May 3 theft of Veterans Affairs data by putting a note on individual pay statements. However, as of June 14, DOD was still in the middle of analyzing just which personnel could be affected. The VA estimates the number of active and reserve members could be 2.2 million—or almost everyone. The Air Force is offering to tell its members now.
The House Armed Services Committee on June 4 approved an amendment to a key defense policy bill that would bar the Air Force from retiring E-3 Sentry aircraft through fiscal 2027.
