Moseley had some advice for any Air Force blue-suiter who wants to stay in the service: Look at the career fields that are stretched thin. He said that 13 percent of officer career fields and 20 percent of enlisted fields are short of staff. That means that some members may be able to switch career fields and stay with the Air Force. “Before anyone leaves, I want to make sure we have opportunities to move people into those stretched career fields,” Moseley said.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
