There will be 70 Air National Guard airmen working at the Air Reserve Personnel Center in Denver later this year, provided the Air Guard fills the other 68 billets. ANG already has two airmen headed to ARPC and plans to close its search for the other airmen next month. ARPC is taking over personnel services for the Air Guard, significantly increasing the center’s workload, reports Mike Molina at ARPC. The Guardsmen working at the center will be on four-year active duty tours.
Airmen basic rarely go on to become four-star generals, but one who did retired last week after a 42 year career that saw him rise from a lowly slick-sleeve to the head of one of the Air Force’s most important major commands.
