In Georgia, the Air National Guard’s 165th Airlift Wing has opened a new $6.9 million training and medical complex at its home near the Savannah-Hilton Head Airport, reports SavannahNow.com. It is part of the Savannah Combat Readiness Training Center. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who worked with Rep. John Barrow (D-Ga.) to secure funding for the facility, said, “This new training center is going to help us not only keep [Guardsmen] trained, but its location is going to help keep the 165th healthy, too.”
Air Force Basic Military Training leaders say changes implemented as part of BMT 2.0 are generating positive results so far—especially when it comes to creating “airminded” new Airmen.
