Civilians eyeing a job with the Air Force now have a new resource that streamlines the online federal job application process. USA Staffing is an Internet-based recruitment tool connected to USAJOBS, the federal government’s employment website. USA Staffing keeps basic data such as the applicant’s name and contact information, and automatically enters it in subsequent applications. The integration of USA Staffing and USAJOBS “makes it even easier to find that perfect Air Force job,” said John Steenbock, deputy director for civilian force integration. He added that it “helps ensure we match the right people to the right jobs.”
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
