Air Force Pink Slips More than 400 Officers
The Air Force is laying off 436 captains and majors as part of a multiyear program to adjust its staffing levels after its retention rate hit its highest level in 16 years.
Although the cuts are aimed at meeting congressionally mandated targets, they are not related to the $450 billion that the Pentagon will slash from its budget over the next decade.
The layoffs were made by the Reduction-in-Force Board, which reviewed the records of 8,832 officers.
It’s not clear how those cuts will affect the Air Force because they have await the president’s annual budget......"What budget? Has Obama? Ever had?"
Old Pudfark sez: " It's all about the budget?___Most every responsible person has one___Except Obama.
