For 76 young people, enlisting in the Air Force took center stage in front of a San Francisco 49er football crowd of 70,000. It was actually the third such event for the 49ers. The first half-time enlistment ceremony took place in 2004. The 49ers entertainment director Lorie Murphy says this year’s swear-in “captivated the entire halftime show—the response was as loud as when the team scores a game-winning touchdown.”
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.
