Starting today, airmen can take advantage of a new course to train instructors in the use of night vision goggles now offered at Randolph AFB, Tex. The one and a half day course transferred last year from the auspices of an Air Force Research Lab unit at Mesa, Ariz., to Air Education and Training Command and subsequently Randolph, where a team of physiologists and instructor pilots created specialized classrooms and a new curriculum. The airmen who complete this advanced course share that expertise with their assigned units.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
