Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley spoke of several Airmen who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom. He read an excerpt from a letter sent by Senior Airman Jason Cunningham, an Air Force parajumper with the Special Forces to his wife, Theresa, before he was killed in combat in Afghanistan in 2002. “As if aware of his impending death, he wrote, ‘I’ll die a happy man doing the job I love,’” General Moseley said, reading from the letter. “Those are the words of a true PJ, and it speaks volumes of his commit- ment and dedication. We honor him with this memorial, as well as the countless others who are like him.” Several aircraft, ranging from World War I biplanes to today’s stealth bombers and fighters, flew over the crowd and memorial in chronolog- ical order, providing visual evidence of the evolution of military flight. The ceremony ended with a demonstration from the Thunderbirds, who buzzed the crowd before doing the bomb-burst formation, which inspired the design of the three-spires of the memorial. “We commemorate today the courage of the men and women who photo by Tech.

The Warfighter Support Center stood up as part of the Missile Defense Agency at the Joint National Integration Center in a ceremony here Friday. The WSC is the result of MDA’s efforts to blend test organizations with the fielding and integration communi- ty, focusing on developing and operating a system that supports continued activities with war fighter participa- tion. “MDA is engaged in a true partnership with war fight- ers as we develop the first of its kind global missile defense system,” said Lt. Gen. Trey Obering, MDA director. “The WSC provides a critical focus for that partnership in both systems development and opera- tional concepts evolution.” The WSC is the primary integrator and interface for the Ballistic Missile Defense System to U.S. Strategic Command and combatant commanders, said Steve Fleet, WSC director. The WSC will help ensure MDA effec- tively employs, maintains and sustains the BMDS and will facilitate war fighter participation in future missile- defense developments. Maj. Gen. Chris Anzalone, MDA deputy for Test, Integration, Logistics and Fielding, and Brig. Gen. Marvin McNamara, deputy director for Force Structure, Integration and Deployment, attended the ceremony by video teleconference.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Air Force officials here announced Monday two additional enlisted programs to help reduce by 40,000 the number of active-duty Airmen. The programs, a Date of Separation (DOS) Rollback and a Limited Active Duty Service Commitment (LADSC) waiver, join the current tools of reducing the number of accessions into the enlisted force, Career Job Reservations and the NCO Retraining Program. “It’s important for Airmen to understand why we are cutting 40,000 from our ranks,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Rodney McKinley. “We must recapitalize and modernize our force while staying within our budget con- straints.

The Air Education and Training Command Special Duty Assignment Team will host a special-duty assignment briefing Nov. 1 from 8:45 to 10:45 a.m. in the Building 300 Auditorium here. The briefing is aimed toward Airmen who are interested in becom- ing a recruiter, military training instructor, military training leader, technical training instructor or professional military education instruc- tor. There are few jobs in the Air Force more challenging, satisfying, and rewarding then an AETC special duty assignment, said Master Sgt. Andrew Sites, NCO in charge of AETC’s Recruiter Screening Team. Airmen between the ranks of airman first class and master sergeant are eligible if they have more than 24 months time in service and less than 17 years total active federal military service. Spouses of potential applicants are also invited.Members of the Recruiter Screening Team and the MTI Recruiting Team will conduct the briefing. “Recruiters are responsible for the number and quality of young men and women who enlist and begin their Air Force careers,” Sergeant Sites said. “We are the first to touch the lives of our future Airmen. One of our best entitlements is the opportunity to choose your own recruiting assignment from more than 1,100 possible locations.” “Everyone remembers their MTIs,” said Master Sgt. Antoinette Williams, MTI Recruiting Team superintendent. “The MTI sets the stage for each individual’s success in the Air Force and mentors hun- dreds of new Air Force members. The job is filled with substantial rewards for those who want to have a hand in molding our future Airmen.” photo by Master Sgt.

The win gives Air Force (3-2, 3-0 Mountain West Conference) sole possession of first place in the MWC. What triggered the dramatic turnaround? “I challenged them,” Air Force head coach Fisher DeBerry said. “I told them at halftime the key word was composure. I said I didn’t want them going back on the field if they didn’t believe they could win the game. I felt good about our offense in the first half except we were our own worst enemies.” Air Force racked up 232 yards in total offense before the intermission but lost two fumbles to negate potential scoring drives. photo by 1st Lt.
